This property is an absolute gem in the heart of Varkala! The community kitchen adds a lovely homely touch, allowing you to cook your own meals and feel right at home. It's incredibly safe for solo female travelers, which is a huge plus. Raman and Pintu are exceptional hosts—your go-to people for any recommendations or assistance. The place is spotless, well-maintained, and truly feels like a home away from home. Highly recommended!

Such a calm and peaceful stay and great hosts who made me feel at home. Kitchen and terrace are nice and the walls are full of childhood cartoon art and even I got to paint one. Shafeeq is the best chef with amazing food. I'd definitely recommend to solo travelers, it's a great place to meet people, play games and enjoy karaoke nights.

All hostels in Varkala

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    The best hostel I’ve stayed at throughout my whole trip of India. Had originally booked two nights, and ended up staying a week- if I had the time I would’ve stayed for a month! Great location, super helpful and friendly owners, and a really comfortable feeling The around the place. Highly recommend. Plus the hostel has recently adopted a couple of adorable puppies!

    The staff is amazing. Friendly, talkative and really helpful. There is a great atmosphere. The dorm for 8 people was quite comfy. Very tasty and quite cheap meals in a hostel restaurant. Great location if you want to be near very calm beach. There are available some board games, hammock... in general, very chill atmosphere. Thanks!

    This was my first solo travel. The moment I reached the hostel, I could feel the warmth. Nikhil, Vikas, Kartik are really helpful, fun and warm people. The rooms are decent and the place has a raw touch. The food made by Kumar bhaiya was yumm too! The vibe of this place is immaculate. Great location, safe for solo girl travellers. Not to mention, lots of cuddles from the cute pups, cooper & mini.
