Bad and rude hosts!!! Bad rooms..the host can’t take any bad review and is foul mouthed! If you are going and dont want unnecessary tension and harassment give them good reviews! 😃 They asked me not to visit again and I will totally oblige! After all they dont want me to suffer. They torture you only once and then will help you by asking you to not cone again. Thank you!
I had a very good time at Mad about coco. Host and staff are very kind and the room is clean and well equipped. Garden is so beautiful. The place is quiet and only 2 minutes from the cliff. Thanks for everything!

Nice place with friendly staff and nice vibe in general let down by couple of points. Firstly on booking.com it said air conditioning is optional at extra charge but both rooms we stayed in didn’t have that option. That needs to be corrected on booking.com. Quite a big deal when it’s 33 degrees. Next problem was that on checkout payment , as what has happened in a few Indian places they told me I had to pay in my home currency. Firstly this is illegal under MasterCard registration. The customer has to have option of local currency. When telling them I didn’t want to pay in pounds they told me I could choose ruppees after I entered my pin. This is simply wrong as by that point and as per my receipt I had a “mark up 3.5%” added to my charge for the conversion which I didn’t want. They said some rubbish about how it doesn’t matter and it’s a good rate and then they said how their bank rates are bad or something and how this bank Axis does this. This is totally untrue . And anyway, which one is it ? Is it you don’t like charges or there’s no choice and it’s good for me anyway? I find it massively disingenuous for an establishment that prides itself on being friendly and open to westoners to use a system sneakily to make more money and misinform the customers. If u want to charge me more for using a card, let me know that’s the case. don’t lie to me about you having to charge in my home currency because your bank in India won’t let u charge ruppees. Absolute nonsense. It’s complete lies and scam basically . Really sad that the German Indian owner lady tries this absolute lies . Shameful really deceiving customers. Most people, if not all, won’t even notice what’s happened but they need to stop getting away with it .…
I stayed for a night at this property and the only plus is its location. I booked room which is listed as twin room with terrace, hoping I will get my own private terrace or balcony - but I was given a ground floor room. When I asked about the terrace, the guys said the building has a terrace which I can use. The room and bathroom were neat and clean. Mind you, there is no AC in the room and it can get quite hot during the night considering the Kerala climate. You are paying almost 4000+ rs and there is not even mineral water kept in the room or no breakfast included. Hence I felt the price you pay is not really worth it even though they claim it is because of the season. The road to this place is difficult to find and dont rely on google maps. Also if you have an SUV, you may land in trouble and have to park outside. The only advantage is the accessibility to the cliff which is right infront. (doesn't mean you have a beach/cliff view). We visited their cafe, NOMAD for breakfast. Nice staff and nice ambience, but exorbitant prices. 2 boiled eggs will cost you 160 rupees! Choose this place only when the rates of room are well below 2000 rupees! Not happy at all.…
Location 5/5 Food not served. Cleanliness 3/5 Bedding 1/5 Mattress was so uncomfortable that I removed it from bed at night for sleeping and slept on hard bed which was better. Location is the only plus point of this place.
I have stayed at Mad about Coco several times now. The reason I keep coming back is that it's a simple, no-frill stay. You will love the decor, both inside the rooms and the common areas. Love the fact that they have water dispensers. Helps guests use less plastic. But what I was the most excited about during my last visit was it's restaurant Nomad Varkala. My personal recommendation would be the burgers and various bowls and coffee!!!!!and it will take 3 to finish that big Punjabi thali!the restaurant staff was very courteous. Overall,it's an experience.totally recommend.
I booked this place hoping that it will be a safe and relaxing place for a solo female traveller like me. A day before I was to visit this property, they cancel my booking late at night out of the blue. They claim that they sent me messages and since I didn't respond to these non existent messages, so they chose to give the room to another customer (probably foreigner friends). I never got any call or message from them before the cancellation. Would NOT recommend this place. Bad service, rude staff and pretty uncertain. Very disappointed!
This is a great place to stay, the staff are really friendly, the accommodation is great and very quiet even though it's just behind the strip. Highly recommend the cookery class! If it's something particular you want to learn, they will do it for you. Good breakfast and nice communal areas to relax in.
We visited Mad about Coco as a family (husband, wife and kid) and stayed in their family suite. I would like to highly recommended the resort for their amazing hospitality, very courteous staff, excellent location and great breakfast! We felt at home, and were quite sad to leave. Some suggestions to the management for improvement: - Cupboard in the room to store clothes and luggage - A shelf or two in the bathroom for toiletries - The water was pretty low pressure to clean off the sand - A broom in the room to self clean the sand Apart from these, I had absolutely no issues, and would definitely return soon.
