The hosts are super hospitable. The food's lovely. There's always some pretty music playing in the background so the ambience is well maintained. Just a 10/10, can't believe how much we lucked out finding about this place.

Great location - short walk to the cliff top. There’s a shop opposite which is handy. The main positive about this hostel is how social it is. The hosts have things organised every day so it’s easy to meet people. I extended my stay twice!
Really cool hostel with a really warm and fun vibe! I stayed with 2 friends and we really enjoyed it. Great location a few minutes walk to the beach and nearby cafes etc. Staff were really welcoming and friendly. Place was clean.
Molly and the staff are really welcoming and friendly. The location is perfect with only a few minutes walk to the beach and cafes close by with beautiful views of the ocean. They also hold fun workshops at the hostel such as dance classes etc which is a great opportunity to meet new people and learn new moves! Not to mention the food is YUMMY at the hostel!
Calmer part of varkala, still close to everything. 3 min walk to the beach which feels like private beach. Hostel stuff superb. Safe and blissful space. Very tasty kitchen.
Great location, close to helipad, beach, and restaurants. Nice hostel vibes
Great location for visiting Fort Cochin! Everything in walking distance, easy access to rickshaws when in need. Heritage building with spacious rooms and breakfast included. A safe and welcoming haven for both solo travellers and couples. Professional enough, yet still laidback enough! We ended up staying several nights instead of the one we were planning for!
The location is only a 5 minute walk to the water by the fishing nets which is perfect. The staff were so nice and very welcoming, couldn’t do enough for you. The beds were very comfy, having the curtain on the bed gives you lots of privacy too as well as the huge locker space underneath the beds which were very handy. Bathroom was very clean and hot water ran constantly. Definitely best hostel I’ve been to! - Wi-Fi was also very strong so perfect if you’ve got work to do.
The best hostel for solo backpackers
The best hostel I've visited so far! The staff make the experience even better and the property is also very close to the North Cliff and Black Beach. Highly recommend!
