Offering a garden and lake view, AshtamudiVillas is located in Kollam, 4.2 km from Kollam Railway Station and 4.5 km from Thangassery Light House.

The host is rude to Indians and treats foreigners better, not sure about the reason. He was drunk when we met him. Staff (Jose) was excellent, hence we continued to stay at the property.

Featuring garden views, Yog Hostel Varkala offers accommodation with patio, around 200 metres from Odayam Beach. Boasting room service, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace.

The location of the Hostel is the best in Varkala (I think). The beach is about 2 mins by walk, and as it is on the northern side its less crowded. The cleaning is exceptional. Everything is clean here, the bathroom, the bed linen, the stairway even the small details as the light and fan switches. The bed is very comfortable also. From the terace - wich is very spacey - you have a bit of see view. The whole place is simple and stylish. Besides all the good things, the guys running the place: Suas and Dzoie are very friendly, and helping you in whatever situation. I would reccommend this accommodation to anyone coming here.

    Accidentally found this property since it was a last minute booking, but really exceeds my expectations, host (Giri Kumar) was very helpful always, he bought us stuff to eat and was very humble. Property is right on the banks of Ashtamudy Lake, beautiful view, the building itself is beautiful with a lush green lawn, interior was nicely furnished, kitchen with utensils were available, peaceful sleep, overall a nice property if you are looking for some relaxation

    Fantastic place with the best, kindest hosts I have met in India! Great place in a quiet village. Delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners made by the owner are available at the property. Available backwaters tour, island trip, kayaking.... I recommend wholeheartedly.

    Booked as a treat. It was recommended by my guide book and I wanted a hotel rather than a hostel this time. Felt luxury and is something my parents and grandparents would have felt comfortable and relaxed in. Great location so easy to direct autos and get around cheaply. Desk in room made it easy to work. Very convenient for business people. The best breakfast. AC included and laundry services (by the item) included.

    The host is very responsive, kind and took excellent care of us.The boat ride to and from the homestay (not accessible via road) was beautiful! It's the perfect place for a quiet getaway among the backwaters. We were there for only a night but it was a very relaxing stay.
