“Relaxed beach comfort”
+Convenient setting, close to the beach and restaurants. The cottages are neat and tidy with a beautiful balcony. Peaceful setting, perfect for relaxation. Staff is extremely helpful. Thank you Sahil for making us a lovely stay.
−Breakfast could include more variety, maybe some local items

“Great accomodation”
+The staff was really nice and helpfull, they bought train tickets for us and kept updating us on the status. The cabins are cozy and private and the breakfast is delicious (fresh juice, fruit salad/oatmeal/pancakes & eggs with toast). Odayam beach is a few minutes away and it's way nicer than Varkala beach if you don't like crowds.

“Wonderful!”
+We loved the relaxed atmosphere and great hosting. Junji was so kind and helpful, as were his staff. They helped us to book and buy onward train tickets and a taxi to the station. The cottage itself was stylish, simple, private and clean and set in a lovely garden. We enjoyed breakfast everyday in a nice communal outdoor area where we could Meet and chat with other guests. We could have also taken breakfast on our own veranda had we wished. Each day we had choices such as fresh fruit, pancakes, eggs, porridge and toast with coffee or tea. Mint Inside is a short walk to the beach and a great choice of cafes and restaurants are within 5 mins. This has been our favourite stay in India so far and one of our favourites during our international travels all over the world.
−Nothing - although a small fridge in the room would have been a bonus.

“Happy near Varkala..”
+Staff were fantastic as was the breakfast!! Location was excellent too 😊 They found me a scooter to rent and were really friendly 😊 Near enough to the cliff, but far enough away to not get too involved in the crazy..
−Perhaps slightly expensive, but I believe that is the area in general… I would stay again 😊

“Safe and comfortable- like being with friends”
+Everything! This is such a lovely Homestay- hot water on demand, efficient aircon if needed, silent fan. The decor is stylish and the breakfast is tasty, and you can choose from a small menu

+Walkable distance to sarwa cafe n beach
−AC was not working in the room. I asked him to provide another room and he denied the request. I had to request them multiple times for extra beds. The person who was looking after the property has no idea what he was saying. Either he's high in weed or drunk

“Quiet green oasis near the beach”
+MINT Inside Garden is located in quiet area 200m behind the beach. You may think to take a bungalow directly at the beach, but we were happy to have a quiet and green garden for relaxing without the loud waves sound. The beach with some restaurants is very near. The bungalow is nice especially the bathroom tiles. Every bungalow has its own small terrace where you take your breakfast. The view to the garden is beautiful. The staff is really friendly and supportive. Across the street you find a place with yoga lessons, conducted by Nathan as your calm yoga teacher. We highly recommend to stay here.
