How guests rate the property, aspect by aspect.
It was a wonderful experience staying in Kerala; this property feels like a little piece of quiet, silence, and care; Rafi is a perfect host, always ready to help with everything and he also cooks well; he provides stable Wi‑Fi if you need it; the beach is close, about a 7‑minute walk; there is a beautiful jungle garden surrounding the property.

The accommodation is super beautiful in nature, with a lovely garden offering many ways to relax; you only hear the sounds of nature around—birdsong, sea roar, and the singing of nearby mosques; the walk to the coast and the quiet Odayam Beach is just 5‑10 minutes on foot; along the coast you can reach the bustling North Cliff in 20 minutes; if you seek peace and relaxation, this place is perfect; the host cooks delicious meals and the Mango Lassi is a dream; he takes care of all matters, is very warm and helpful, and is always available for a chat; I can only recommend a stay here.

I stayed at a lovely guesthouse on the outskirts of Varkala, just a few minutes' walk from several almost deserted beaches. The host, Ravi, was kind and attentive, even going beyond the call of duty by bringing forgotten socks to my next accommodation on the other side of town. Breakfast and evening meals were huge and delicious, and I would definitely return. I did get a couple of mosquito bites, so a little repellant would be a good idea.
