We arrived at the hotel without a booking- it was recommended by a tuk tuk driver who picked us up at the train station,no doubt in return for a commission. The hotel is on the cliff at Varkala, surrounded by bars and restaurants, but its set back so we didn' t hear any noise. None of the rooms have a... More

Bamboo House were partly shut down because it was off season. They couldn´t offer an ac room despite it said on signs. Our hut were paper thin and the door almost fell off. The toilet broke totally down so we changed hut after one night. Both the first and the second hut were very dirty and needed simple but obvious... More

We stayed there five nights. During stay in Varkala we saw another places for three times less price than in bamboo with nicer rooms than here. The garden here is beautiful and location is also gerat, but inside of the bungalow it is quite dark and poor. No cleaning service, no cleaning equip. So it is gonna be a bit... More

We stayed for 4 nights here solely for the location. It is a little pricey, and the service is not very welcoming. We did the cooking class also, which was a very good experience and the value is pretty good.

Lovely surroundings, decent huts, great location, chilled out staff. Also security guard at night makes it feel quite safe. No cleaning done in 4 nights however so room got very sandy, and the power went off quite a bit (though this probably isn't their fault). The cooking class is pretty rubbish but was fine to pass some time on the... More

Stayed here for 3 nights last week. Lovely grounds and amazing location but the rooms weren't great. uncomfortable bed and bathroom was dark, smelly and never felt clean. No cleaning in the 3 nights we stayed and Sheets and towels smelt a bit. That said it was all bearable and staff friendly and helpful.

I LOVED this stay, lovely complex with cute bamboo huts, decoration inside is minimal but in character. Warm welcome with lovely management, security guard at night to make you feel that extra bit comfortable. Very cheap (although we travelled in monsoon) perfect location on the cliffs in Varkala. Walking distance to everything you need. Lovely retreat. Booked an elephant ride... More

First of all: we only stayed for one night wich make it hard to give it a just rate. We also arrived in low season which lowered the price. And for the price we got this was a good room. We choose one with out door bathroom but there were alot of ants walking around. Big red ones, but they... More
