Zostel Varkala

This is my first ever in zostel. I can rate it as one of the best stay. I would recommend all tp stay and experience

Stay was good. But they didn't have table tennis balls ready. One reason we chose zostel is these games so that was disappointing

Excellent location and amenities with pure booking for activities for all nearby attractions with travel

Be cautious when booking with Zostel! Even in cases of genuine medical emergencies, they refuse to refund advance payments, despite providing all necessary proof and canceling well in advance. Their lack of empathy and rigid policies make it clear that profits come before people. I also had a horrible experience at Zostel Varkala, where the manager threatened to charge ₹500 per person if we didn’t vacate by 10 AM, making us feel pressured and harassed. This kind of behavior reflects their poor customer service and disregard for guests' well-being. Think twice before choosing Zostel – your peace of mind isn’t worth the risk!

The location is just a stone throw away from the black sand beach. The room and washroom is clean. The ocean view from the balcony and the terrace is mesmerising.

Osum stay we stayed in mixed dorms but still super safety super clean we just stayed for one day so we preferred mixed one but couple rooms and and cottages also there ! Haven’t ate there but ambience pretty decent ! View was decently good 😊

Stay and all were fine the cafe needs to improve. Have stayed in other properties of zostel which had amazing food. Food at the varkala one wasn’t good

The staff is not adjustable. We needed 1 warm blanket because one of my friends had a fever but they didn't provide it.

We booked delux cottage for a day and there was nothing in it for the name delux. There were so many ants on the floor and even on bed which they cleaned but it should not be there at the first place if you are changing this much. Towels provided were not cleaned. There was nothing to hang towel or anything in the washroom. Also washroom was very smelly. And for the next night we stayed in dorm. Dorm beds have spider webs and dust on it.
