We arrived after a 30-hour journey from Europe and even though our flight was delayed until the middle of the night, the driver was waiting for us at Trivandrum airport. It was dark when we arrived at 3am, so we did not really know what the place looked like when we arrived. When we woke up the next morning, we... More

We stayed here by accident as there was no room in the hotel we were staying at but what a great accident. The little huts are all very cosy and romantic - the tiled floors are excellent and the beds beautiful. Amazing sea view and a super relaxed environment - wish we could have stayed longer Finn & Anna

We had spent only one night at madathil cottages. but felt to stay longer. very calm and a beautiful place facing sea. the best thing is their hospitality. so we write this review with pleasure. this trip we were just bachelor's. but half of them who r getting married already fixed their honeymoons here. Very safe for family and women.... More

We had originally planned to spend 3 nights in Varkala, but ended up staying 4, because we absolutely loved this place! As other reviewers have noted, our tuk tuk driver from the station didnt seem to know where the cottages were, and had to stop and ask several people along the way....but eventually we arrived at this beautiful quiet resort,...

Amazing time we had there. We stayed about 3 weeks and it was not enough! The crew was adorable, the cottages were comfortable and clean. Surrounded by coconut trees, birds, sea and cicadas,this place is a piece of heaven. The cooking was absolutly delicious, fresh and very well baked by the amazing Ganesh. The place was very quiet, apart from... More

A 20 minutes walk from the rush of Varkala's restaurants and shops, just on a beautiful and peaceful beach, Muhanjir and his crew provide a tranquil atmosphere with a high level accommodation. The coconut trees accompany the whole stay- from the eyes to your taste buds...

We stayed in the cottages for 4 days in January. It was an excellent stay. Superb location, quiet, clean and chilled. Away from main strip which is good but not that far away you cant walk. we walked into varkala at sundown and got tuk tuk back. you need a torch as drivers don't know where cottages are and you...

Hard to add much to the excellent reviews already posted. We spent three nights in our spacious cottage (bungalow?) and really appreciated the the beautiful setting close to the sea and the lack of noise apart from the breaking waves and the birdsong. The staff are super friendly and serve simply breakfasts and light meals on your terrace. The two... More

This is truly the best spot at the Varkala north beach. Why? The cottages are comfortable, clean and nicely decorated. The view is both front and back amazing. The cottages are situated in a 'private' garden and only 5 steps away from the small private beach. Here you see fishermen bring in their catch of the day, and farmers wash... More
