Traveller reviews

“Peaceful, friendly homestay”
25 Apr 2025
We arranged to stay here at short notice after an AirBnb experience gone wrong - within half an hour of us booking on booking.com, Mr Lal had got back to us, arranged a tuktuk to pick us up and had arranged early check-in so we could relax after a bad nights sleep. Following our arrival all bad memories were erased as we were in such a relaxing, peaceful and calm environment with an exceptional host. We loved the rooms, with exceptional linen and a strong minimalist vibe. The homestay is in a great location, away from the busy bits of Varkala and in a peaceful lane where you can hear lots of birds at sunset. Mr Lal cooked us two delicious meals, a highlight of our trip, and was great company - we loved chatting to him about India and hearing his tales. We would love to come back and are very grateful for Mr Lal's help - thank you!

“Exceptional”
03 Mar 2025
We had an exceptional stay with the wonderful Lal! Everything was fantastic. From start to finish, Lal made sure we felt at home and were cared for in the lovely Ixora.

“Heartwarming. A home from home - a real highlight of my time in India . Unforgettable.”
02 Feb 2025
It is blissfully simple and contemporary and has everything anyone could ask for. It is in a quiet road yet easy walking distance to shops, the beach and a key pilgrimage temple with its temple elephant ! And only a few minutes I. A tuctuc to the busy and vibrant tourist centre and the other beaches. Lal was always available and always always cheerful and helpful - what an amazing host. I felt like I was warmly welcomed into his home. I also enjoyed meeting the other guests and we shared dinner together. Lal helped me with my decision about where to do day trips to and booked taxis for me!

“Fantastic homestay, superb hosts”
02 Feb 2025
Although the property itself is very nice, new, clean and comfortable. The difference in experience is amplified by its superb, excellent English speaking host. The Ixora offers rooms connected but seperate from the main house where the host lives and where you have breakfast, lunch and or dinner. The shower was remarkable as well; hot & strong pressure which is not the standard in India. The location is perfect, you can walk to the stunning beaches and restaurants. The in-house prepared food was great too, lovely diverse breakfast, but equally delicious food was served for dinner on request, which is all prepared in-house. If we ever come back to Varkala, this is where we would stay. Don’t book just 2 nights like we did, stay a little longer & unwind. You’ll love it.
