Hostels in Varkala

Loved everything about the property. Staff is bedy friendly and the host Raman makes sure you sre being included in all hostel group plans. Definitely recommend all solo travellers to book with them

Yes Hostel in Varkala isn’t just a place to stay it’s a vibe, a community, and for me, a turning point. As a first time solo traveler, I was unsure about the whole hostel experience. But trusting my instincts and booking four nights here turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. From the moment I arrived, I felt a genuine sense of belonging that completely changed my perception of hostel life. Harish, the host, is incredibly welcoming and made me feel at ease right away. Shafeeq, the ever jovial chef, brought laughter and warmth to every moment. Vineesh, the creative soul behind the hostel’s quirky art, added a splash of personality to the space. And Steven, a fellow traveler from Hyderabad, became an unexpected companion whose presence made my stay even more memorable. They helped me plan my daily itinerary and even included me in their evening hangouts walking along the cliffside beach, sharing stories, and playing endless rounds of badminton. And then there’s Angel, their adorable indie dog, who added an extra layer of comfort and companionship to my stay. She’s the kind of furry friend who makes a place feel like home. This experience completely reshaped my perception of hostels. What started as a solo trip ended with me gaining a second family. I’d choose Yes Hostel again in a heartbeat no second thoughts, no regrets. If you're looking for a place that’s not just comfortable but also filled with warmth, laughter, and unforgettable company, this is it. Highly recommended for anyone seeking more than just a stay this is where memories are made. Right in the heart of Varkala❤️ -RK✌️😇

About the hostel very shortly, well facilitated, comfortable, and neat. I do believe that people create a unique place, and this place confirms that. The host, Santos, is so generous, hospitable, and helpful. He can arrange everything, bicycle, food, trains, and I guess much more. He is communicative, polite and funny. .I wish every hotel had such a host. Thanks Chetta

Kulture KonnectT hostel seems to be a brand new hostel. Staff and vibe: Hostel staff was very friendly. General vibe of the hostel was great. All local and international travelers were hanging out together: exercising on the rooftop terrace, having dinner, playing games or discussing different things. Location: Hostel is located in one of the tiny hidden quiet street, very close to the main road, shops, pharmacy, café and restaurants, public transportation. Everything what needed for comfortable living was around 5-10 minutes of walking distance from the hostel. Beach: It took around 25 minutes to walk to the Black sand beach and 35-45 minutes to the Varkala beach. Bedroom: I was provided lower bed as requested. Shared bathroom with shower and toilet was in the bedroom. There are lockers under each bunk bed to keep personal belongings in safety, just bring your own lock! Kitchen: There is a large kitchen with everything needed for cooking own meal. Separate thanks for the electric kettle for tea-monsters like me. Dining room: Dining room looked like a large room in booking.com pictures, but in reality it was small, I would say compact. There is a filtered drinking water in the dining room. Terrace: It was amazing that hostel has several terraces on different levels. It’s possible to read book, sunbathe or hang out with other travelers on the terrace. Gym: There is a gym equipment on the terrace with jungle view. Cleaning issues: Dining table was messy all the time and nobody from the staff cared about that. Bathroom floor was always wet despite the rules posted everywhere. Wi-Fi: Free wi-fi worked well everywhere in the hostel. Overall, everything was great, safe and fun in the hostel. Hostel is the same as in booking.com pictures. I can recommend Kulture KonnectT hostel for everyone.

I highly recommend this recently-opened hostel with a lovely personnel ready to help. All amenities are new and clean. There is a nice rooftop space with a nice view toward the sea.

This place is not only great for socializing, but also for unwinding and enjoying some downtime. With its vast garden and lively bar, there's always something to do or see, whether you're into surfing or just lounging around. I had an amazing time here and will definitely be returning.

Nice atmosphere, location is perfect.

Great hostel with great staff. Everyone was super welcoming, especially Abi who took us out to local food spots, and Luisa with her yoga recommendations. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the common area was chill and sociable. The hostel is only 5mins away from the cliff, so its close to things but also quiet.

I really enjoyed my staying in this hostel and kept extending my stay :) Everything was great, friendly staff, location, clean rooms. There was option for fan and ac room also. I highly recomend to stay in Barefood Varkala!

Everything! The vibe, the people I met. Especially the host, pintoo. He was just amazing, very accomodating and helpful. The place was clean, good WiFi and good food.
