+The property is so peaceful, the rooms are big. The host Vikas and Karthik are amazing and chill. The cliff and the beach are near by. Perfect location for couples to stay and have good time.

+I absolutely loved my stay at Barefoot Homes. It was a very relaxing and quiet getaway in Varkala. The beds are super comfortable, the property is gorgeous, and it is a short walk from the cliff / beaches. The hosts are super kind and will help you with anything that you need. It is always super clean, and the kitchen is beautiful and always available for cooking. I don’t have any complaints about this place, everything was amazing!
−Everything is perfect at Barefoot Homes!!

+Love this place. Very nicely appointed bedrooms and bathrooms, with loads of space in the living area, dining room and kitchen. Great location which is peaceful, but not far from the cliff. Run by a couple of super friendly guys who are always available to help with anything for your trip. I stayed for a few days in January and came back with family in February. Very highly recommended

+Barefoot Homes is an exceptionally beautiful property, located fairly close to the north cliff. The house has amazing natural light and is in a quiet neighbourhood. It has a functional kitchen and a laundry service as well. My stay was very relaxing and I would highly recommend it.

+I liked the clean calm house. The room has a private bathroom attached and the house offers a lot of amenities. The area is calm and quiet but it is still close to the beach and the restaurant area. Karthik and Vikash are friendly and helpful hosts, once you need help they support you. If c oming back to Varkala I'd defi nitely stay again at their place!

“LOVED IT!!”
+Amazing place. I really felt at home!! The villa is very beautiful, huge, stunning garden, cool and big hallways, location is perfect. It is very green around the house and you can hear lots of birds. The room was very big and comfortable. Everything worked perfectly, fan, AC...good lights, The bathroom is the best bathroom I have seen in whole India. Rainforest shower, big sink, beautiful tiles. The kitchen is very modern, also very big and you have everything you need. I especially liked the balcony/terrace where you can only see trees and plants and it feels like being in the jungle. Everything is very clean and the people who work here are very friendly and helpful. The house has such a good ventilation that the temperature never feels to hot or too cold. It is definitely one of the best places I have stayed. I absolutely loved my stay here and can really recommend to book it!! I will be back! Thank you for everything.
