If you like a quiet relaxed low profile guesthouse, Maison de Varkala is your place. I stayed in one of the ground floor rooms - didn't see a mural but the orange colour of the walls was very nice. Though no chair or any furniture besides a closet and a big bed, the room was clean, bedsheets immaculately white, towel... More

I spent 5 nights here in a large, clean, comfortable room with a large bed and a mosquito net that didn't make me feel claustrophobic. Lovely was a wonderful host and helpful in every way.

Clean beautiful rooms, very relaxed and welcoming. Great location close to the cliff path, but set back enough to be quiet. This place is a real gem. We found it by pure luck walking around..very happy to have done so. Lovely, who runs the place, is simply wonderful. Cannot recommend highly enough.

And the lovely guesthouse manager really is Lovely by name and lovely by nature. We... More

Lovely was helpful all the way, she picked me up at the train station in the middle of the night and drove me some places when I needed to, at a cheaper price. The breakfast is delicious (especially the Indian style one). The house is located... More

Lovely is the name of the charismatic, energetic lady who runs La Maison du Varkala. She picked us up from the train station, sorted us out during our stay in Varkala and arranged for onward transport ... all with a bright, infectious smile. Varkala has boomed in the last three years, with hotels and b&bs popping up everywhere. We were... More

Very nice small hotel located in between the palm trees 10 min walk from the cliff in Varkala. The service was impeccable, our room clean and spacious, the owner very helpful ; she could also arrange for us some local Ayurveda and transportation.

We stayed in La Maison De Varkala from the end of December. We celebrate their our new year. We never forget the moments we shared with Lovely. She gave us a spiritual room named 'Sivarathri'. It was really amazing. We enjoyed our honeymoon there. When i saw Sivarathri in first time i wish to see all of their rooms. I... More
