“Too expensive for what it is. Good for a night. Better options around. Would not go again.”
Close to the beach, friendly staff, green and well maintained garden in front of the double rooms & cottages. Generally clean rooms/bathrooms.

“Good stay at Zostel”
Zostel Varkala is located very close to the beach so location is quite good. Amenities can be improved. Furniture was not up to the mark.

“Beautiful!”
We stayed in the cottage. It was a lovely property with beautiful views. The beach and cliff was at a walking distance. The staff was friendly and helped us plan our itinerary.

The facilities themselves were very good. Vicinity to the sea is great and the house it itself looks very good.
