Zostel Varkala

Very bad experience. The reception staff and property manager is rude and they talk without even basic decency. We had booked rooms for two days. Two people had booked dorm for two days. I had booked Dorm for day one and private room for day two. It was specifically checked in the reception whether we need to check in separately for each day and it was informed it was not necessary. It was upon their insistence, kayaking was arranged and the timing was 6.30 to 9.30 AM. The receptionist had called me around 9.45 and I told him we are on the way and will be back in some 30 minutes. By the time we get back to the hotel, it was around 10.20 since the travelling time is more than 30 mins. My luggages were inside the dorm and I was dripping wet due to kayaking. They didn’t permit me inside the room to even take my luggage and change clothes harping that check out ought to have been done by 10 AM and I cannot use the bathroom in the dorm even though the other people in the dorm is my own friends. I just requested for 15 minutes and the same was nonchalantly refused. The reception manager also said I should use the common bathroom (unisex) which I was not comfortable. Since we were from Coimbatore, the receptionist made some lure comments in Hindi. Since one of my friends know Hindi, we argued back. It is noteworthy the dorm was free and my friends said they all will wait outside and I needed only 15 minutes to change. They harped on technicalities and made me wait in way dress for almost 1.5 hours, with no remorse or regret. They didn’t even try to provide early check in even at-least payment of additional cost. Solo women travellers, BEWARE. And also non-Hindi speaking people, have ears to what comments they are making. I am also gonna initiate appropriate action against them. Highly DO NOT RECOMMEND. Worst experience.

It was different experience staying hostel and it was neatly maintained and hassle free check in and check out process

Very good staff, ***** with neat and clean rooms make zostel stand out. Also you will find a lot of activities arranged by zostel on every night.

The stay was very pretty and all the amenities were provided. There is a tv room and a cafe and also games to play

It was a great stay, the hostel and the premises are really great! the staff is very well mannered and their volunteer shubhadini made all of us feel at home

The place is average and priced on the higher end. There is no cooling in common area and private rooms ac are also limited in cooling

It's not worthy. Just don't go by seeing pictures. It's different. Waste of money they are looting just by fake pictures and accomodation was not upto mark

Amazing stay with good view the property owners are cooperative and cleanliness is appreciated the concept helps you meet different people from different mindset overall unique experience!

Nice play, very close to north cliff. Food is very good too. Staff is bery cooperative. Just near to black beach
