Kaithakuzhi Home Stay

Varkala

Varkala is no longer what it used to be. Tourists have replaced travelers and prices have skyrocketed without the services really improving in the guest houses whose reputation is made but erodes quickly. Kaithakuzhi is the typical example; a master word, roupie; a dominant attitude greed. For a minimalist room, the asking price is very exaggerated. Housing is done according to the goodwill of the boss if you don't. The quiet demand is random. The balcony of the first rooms is not one, which are ovens because the roof is not protected from the ban and a family is heated, heated, heated. There is no common refrigerator or fridge so that it doesn't become like a commercial house.

♪ Dear for what it is ♪

We turned up at the accommodation having booked online. We had not paid a deposit. I was unfortunately sick with a fever and wasn't feeling well at all. After viewing the room which was absolutely not in the state that the pictures/reviews describe and noting that it had no aircon (which I really needed) we decided to cancel the booking. We then tried to leave and were accosted by the owner/manager who refused to let us leave. An argument ensued with the owner wanting 9000 inr for the cancelled booking. Our driver who spoke Malayali tried to explain to the owner that we were happy to pay the booking.com cancellation fee of 4500 inr. The owner refused this and called her son over. At this point I noticed that two other guys had parked a motorbike behind us blocking our exit. The owners son and owner threatened me and our driver making for a very uncomfortable and  rapidly escalating situation. Our driver did an amazing job of talking the situation down to the point where the owner reluctantly agreed to accept 6000 inr for the cancelled booking.  The thugs behind us then moved the motorcycle and allowed us to leave.  The whole experience was totally unacceptable.  The owner, son and others involved were thugs and bullies. Please don't consider ever staying this this place.

Worst experience I have ever had

We already pre booked room and has it confirmed but the hotelier denied and didnt give us room at the time of check-in saying  room not available and  price got changed from the time of our booking. Unprofessional behaviour and didn't even had courtesy to cancel the booking beforehand.

Hotelier denied room at check-in

I really enjoyed my stay at Kaithakuzhi! I initially planned on staying for 3 day and stayed for 12 
days. Varkala is such a beautiful place. I enjoyed my time here, the room are a good size, it is very clean, WiFi, and hot water. I love the hammocks outside! The location is very close to the cliff, where there are many restaurants. The host is very friendly and inviting and will help whenever she can.

Comfortable Stay at Kaithakuzhi

We stayed at Kaithakuzhi for what was supposed to be a couple of nights which then turned into 9 nights as we loved the place soo much and our lovely hosts couldnt done enough for us. From the moment we arrived to the morning we left. My partner was very ill with a fever during our stay and the lovely couple attended to her and made her feel soo much better that we couldnt thank them enough. The young lady has such a warm motherly feel about her. The room itself was very clean and spacious and the bed was comfortable in comparison to alot of others we have occupied in India!! Lovely hammock just outside the room. Keep up the good work guys!! Many thanks. Ben & Jade 

Little gem of a place in Varkala

I was provided with a chair and table to work with as soon as I requested. Very prompt and helpful management. The place is also very quiet and comfortable, with easy access to the cliff and the restaurants and bars there. I would definitely recommend!

Value for money

An excellent place to stay -  very clean, good sized rooms with comfortable beds, hot water and wifi. The location is ideal being safe and only a very short walk to the cliff with all its restaurants and shops.  Priya and her family are delightful and very friendly. They will organise taxis or rickshaws if needed. Reasonably priced this is the place to stay and we can't wait to return.

Highly Recommended

Recommended! We stayed here 3 nights. The place is very clean, rooms are simple but comfy and offer all you need including a nice little balcony with a hammock and AC in some rooms. Located 4 houses behind the main beach strall it is quiet but central. The place is owned by a super-friendly woman. She offers Indian breakfast  for 50 IRP if you ask. If we visited Varkala again we would for sure come back here!

Very nice, clean & value for money

It's not bad for the locals. Varkala itself is beautiful, and staying in this guest house has added pleasure. The price/quality ratio is acceptable, close to the gutter and the infrastructure (in the Indian sense), clean, neat, friendly. I took a room with air conditioning. Without it, you can weld. The windows to the next house, the sea, if anything. If I ever get to Varkala again, I'll stop here again.

Rest now!

The Kaithakuzhi Guesthouse is one of a total of three houses that are all owned by the same family. The rooms are large enough to spend several days on the beach, offer storage areas, a clean bathroom with good shower (water pressure) and the beds are equipped with mosquito nets. A small seating area on the porch/balcony and a hanging mat invite you to read and stay. The guesthouse is located in close proximity to the cliff, beach, restaurants and shops.
