This is a great place to stay in Varkala. The huts are really nice, with a veranda with hammock. The owners are friendly, the view is good and great location. There are so many good restaurants around this place. In the night it's quiet, I had no problems sleeping here. Lovely place with good value for money!

This place was great. We arrived with heavy back packs and were given the pick of a bunch of rooms. We went for one of the larger ones. Each have their own little terrace with a couple of chairs on - a nice place to relax in the shade. The place is on the top of south cliff overlooking the... More

I'd probably give this place a better review if they hadn't kicked us out to make way for a higher paying guest! Beware their rates vary, we paid 350rs per night but everyone we spoke to paid a different amount. 350 is good value but getting turfed out with little notice is not! The rooms are clean enough and aside... More

While staying at Bamboo Village my husband fell ill. The friendly owner took my husband to a doctor and was very caring. Her concern was touching - she offered tea and an extra fan and made us really feel that she cared about us as people, not just as clients. We stayed in one of the small bamboo huts and... More

When some friends booked us into the Bamboo Village, my immediate thought - we were in Cochin at the time - was ugh! What a name! We couldn't have been more wrong. Our six nights there were the best we spent in Kerala. We chose rooms in the main block, not the bamboo huts themselves. My room on the first... More

When we called Bamboo village we were specifically told that they have rooms only for forgien tourists and not indian nationals. specially malayalis. The manager offered us another place which was specifically for their Malayali tourists Whatever be their reason, This settles for a racist comment and disturbs the sentiments of every Indian. So I will not recommend this hotel... More

We went Varkala as last destination of our honeymoon, we stayed there for 3D/2N but we regret we could hang about here longer. Yes it is breathtaking beautiful and explosively romantic place, here you have cliff, many sea facing restaurants, good sea beaches, only tourist around you, not packed out like Kovalam and no one to care what you are...

We ended up in Bamboo Village when another hotel gave away our confirmed booking. Bamboo Village overlooks the sparkling waters of the Arabian sea, the surrounding gardens have hammocks and comfortable chairs to while away the day and the covered porch was a great place to sit and relax. You couldn't ask for a more relaxed spot to stay for... More
