We stayed there for a few days and didn't want to leave! The rooms were clean, tasteful, and homey. The rooftop is a great place to watch the sun go down and snooze in the hammock! Sajeer and Elisabeth were so sweet and helpful. Sajeer's cooking class was also AMAZING! The location is the best - not on the loud... More

We stayed for 2 nights at the Cliff Lounge at the end of January. Our room was spacious, thoughtfully fitted out and spotlessly clean. On arrival there were lots of little extras which showed a lot of thought has gone into the comfort and enjoyment of the guests. It also had a super view of the sea. Sanjeeer and Elizabeth... More

We stayed at the cliff lounge for 4 nights. The place is super located and you are close to the beach and to the restaurants.. Although it is very quite at night and you can also enjoy to stay on the balcony.we found Elisabeth simply great and very helpful with interesting hints of what to do and see. A place... More

The Cliff Lounge is in a great location, right in the centre of things near all the best places to hang out and a short walk from the steps to the beach. The room was excellent, lovely touches and objects and design which made us feel very welcome. We had a balcony which was lovely to hang out on but... More

I really liked this friendly and clean guesthouse, with rooms that look more like a hotel than a guesthouse. Good for both short and long stays with excellent service and a very good location. Close to my favourite hang outs, Chill Out and Juice Shack and just a minute walk away from the cliff.

The Rough Guide claimed for it to have uninterrupted sea views which i would find hard to believe with any of the rooms as there are various buildings all infront of Cliff Lounge. We wondered if new developments have been built in between Cliff Lounge and the Sea view since the review had been written?? In any case - it's... More

We ended up here without pre-booking. Rough guide claimed this to be the nicest mid-priced place in Varkala and it might just be true. We really loved it over the first place we had booked, wich was a typical resort-like hotel. This one, instead, is an easy going guesthouse just a little away from the busier beach path. Rooms were... More

The flat-roofed guesthouse was the best place we stayed in on our trip. Thoughtful, homely touches everywhere. It was super clean and felt very safe and protected. It's a place that has been thought about and cared for..created by two people who have dreamt it up - the owners, Sajeer and Elisabeth are lovely, friendly and trustworthy. Enough room to... More

Cliff Lounge was the perfect place to unload after our long train journey, great price and so clean and comfortable we really felt at home away from home. Everything we needed was right there, as the guesthouse is perfectly located across from Lonely's Planet's infamous Juice Shack (healthiest place for breakfast in Varkala), and near to lots of shops, great...
