I stayed in Varkala for 3 nights. This was mainly due to train timings. 2 nights would’ve been enough. I did a yoga class and auryvedic massage on the last day this would have been better in the second day.
What I did find slightly confusing was the references to North & South Cliff whereas I think South Cliff was an extension of the cliff walk - starting with North cliff.
Plenty of choice for food although a particular favourite was Sun Francisco - the Veg Tali was delicious and good value for money.

Varkala beach is busy very busy on weekends with lots of Indian tourists. The cliff side walk has lots of restaurants and shops. We found the beach a bit rough with the waves but beyond the waves it was calm . The stairs to the beach can be challenging if you have knee issues . It’s has a good atmosphere but we prefer less touristy places hence staying at Odayam each area .

Touristic place.
Touristic place. So lots of restaurants with a large variety of meals, bars, shops, ressorts, loud music, massage.
Best restaurant is Clafouti for me.
Nice beaches, big temple.
This is a tourist destination. India' s soul not there. Crowdy, noisy, pushy salesmen, beggers, stray dogs.
Pretty dirty environment cause of littering.
2 to 3 days stay is enough.

AS OF ME, IT'S NOT SUITABLE FOR THE FAMILY TRAVELLERS, ITS UNSAFE TO ALLOW THE CHILDRENS TO PLAY IN THE SEA SOUR IT HAS DEEPER EVEN IN THE SEA SOUR, BEACH NEAR AREA HAS VERY NARROW ROADS & COJUSTED. I FELT THE CHERAI BEACH IS FAR BETTER THAN THE VARKALA.

Beautiful views from the cliffs, plenty of beaches, option to learn surfing (!), good food, and the most gorgeous mangrove/backwaters (30 mins away).... that's Varakala in nutshell. Lovely cliffside walks with breaks for some ice cream at Scoopy or a whole Israeli breakfast(yummmm) at Buddha Bar. We loved ABBA for all other hunger pangs. Having a rented scooter to go around the places away from the cliffs helps, but there were plenty of Autos as well.

Its took travel time is too far, Kerala roads are not good.
Its took travel time is too far, Kerala roads are not good. Many people not follow traffic rules. Really upset to road travel to Kerala. Many sign boards are shown only in Malayalam Language, we struggled with read.
Except that places are really good and peoples also very friendly.
The location of this hotel is absolutely amazing. It is in the middle of the nature facing a rice field. It is very quiet. At night and in the morning, you can hear the birds and frogs singing. The rooms are very big and clean. The Indian breakfast is very generous. A nice beach is just a few meters away from the hotel. You can easily walk to Varkala and Edava beach. The walk is very pleasant and beautiful. I highly recommend you to stay in this hotel if you're looking for a quiet place far from Varkala's bustle.
Rooms were spacious, spotlessly clean and well air conditioned - bathrooms too. Bed very comfortable and shower brilliant. Nice touches in the room such as water, toiletries and amenities (fridge, safe etc). Pool was great and open slightly beyond sunset, and easy access to Varkala beach and North Cliff via the path (during the day). Breakfast has a lot of options, and the treatments we had in the spa were very relaxing. Staff are pleasant and very helpful and the same day laundry service was very efficient.
Quiet residential cosmopolitan locality on peaceful South Cliff, away from the bustle of North Cliff in Dec last week. Quick access to vast clean and desolate beach. Auto stand is opposite to the property. Lot of good eateries nearby. Our host recommended chimney restaurant and it didn't dissapoint. Our favourite place here was the terrace garden.All its greenery, excellent sea view and little secrets like the fish trough. The cups of tea in the morning and night sky photography still linger. Go get it.
Lovely atmosphere where you feel immediately at home. Many nice activities to meet new people like dinners together, yoga classes, games. The managers are very welcoming and helpful. The female dorm has AC and it’s very clean. The location is perfect, 5 mins from the main beach and the north cliff where you have plenty of bars and restaurants.
I loved my stay here and I can’t wait to come back. I totally recommend it to any backpacker passing by Varkala looking for meaningful connections.
This hostal is a gem in Varkala. I have been traveling around the world and it is very amazing to find staff that is working with passion and love for what they do. All the areas are super clean included the rooms. The location is a walking distance to the cliff, the service at reception was excellent, the room was much better then I had expected, amazing service,I loved everything about this hotel. Thank you for a magnificent stay
The staff is so good and courteous. They have arranged for the rental bike and local auto to drop us to railway station.
Access to private beach and cliff is the best part of this place.
Food served had many options to choose from.
Don't forget to meet Aslam who's managing this property. Aadith and Karthik made our stay and meals hassle free
There is a swing in the open area and a lot of desks to relax.
Beautiful new space. Clean, comfortable and great hospitality. Property is just down a small laneway from the busy cliff side - full of cafes, restaurants and quaint gift/clothes shops. We needed to leave early for a train and the host checked in on us to make sure we arrived at our next destination safely. Best hotel we stayed in throughout our 3 weeks in India.
Awesome & one of the best stay in our vacation. Property located on Cliff with beautiful view & Hotel Owner & full staff is helpful & nice. Dinner at restaurant was delicious and breakfast with sea view is memorable. If you’re planning to visit varkala then Kerala Cottages is perfect stay. Most important Hygiene 10/10. Kid friendly.
Very well maintained, a green cove just as in pictures. Peaceful premise, service was non intruding, pramod and gopan was very friendly and helpful with all our needs. Yako and Sophie is as much a part of the stay.
The South cliff beach is just a walk away, less crowded and picturesque cliff view
Wanted to love this place as been staying in basic and eco - friendly places back packing across India. Location right by small beach and sea path great, albeit 30 minutes walk to north cliff, 50 to south. Very nice manager sujesh and good baked bread . Water refills.
The rooms were clean, very comfortable, and the host damini very friendly & helpful. The villa located very near to the cliff beach. Budget friendly and I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting varkala. The food is great, It’s homely and tastier.
Breakfast was not given so cannot comment on that and to understand the location varkala beach has a cliff and all restaurants and stays are on the cliff and it was 100m away from the end point of cliff , so for location it was good for 3 people stay
Location from the beach
We can visit beach anytime we want
Staff are friendly
Owner sounds cool
We get auto, cab to roam around
Lots of restaurants or shacks to eat and drink
Walking distance black sand, varkala beach and varkala cliff
Amazing hotel with very good rates. I think it's a 4 star, not 3 star. Extremely clean, luxurious and comfortable. I much prefer to stay here than in varkala which is just 15 minutes away. Much more comfortable and also much cheaper!
