Manny and the staff are great. Manny knows everything about surfing so, if you're looking for surf, this is the place to stay. Food downstairs is good and affordable.

The location could be better as it is on the road and you have to walk a little to get to the beach. Otherwise great!

Nice, clean, comfortable, tasty food and very helpful host.

Nothing I didn’t like, except for leaving

My stay at Abhi’s exceeded my expectations and I was given a very warm welcome and shown to my room which was huge with big windows, cool fans and air conditioning which I rarely used as there was a nice cross breeze with the windows open. I liked that there were tea or coffee making facilities in my room and a small fridge. I felt very safe there and no request was ever too much. The cafe is lovely, very welcoming and accommodating. The breakfasts were the best homemade Indian breakfasts! Mani was always with a smile! Loved the homey feel of this place and the cafe was always very busy so word is out the food is fab! Cute little finches and sweet dogs as well! Can’t wait to return!

The seating area outside my room had a fridge on it so wasn't very welcoming. However, it was quite hot so I didn't say anything. I'm sure they would have moved it if I had wanted

Lovely family run guesthouse. Very clean and spacious room. Lots of sockets which was handy. Not too far to walk to beach and restaurants. Lovely indian home cooked food for breakfast and dinner. Organised a taxi for me which was better value than at the taxi stand.

Great staff - big clean room - balcony - simple and delicious food onsite - very helpful owner/manager. Very good experience. Beach is about 400m walking distance. The path actually takes you to Lighthouse Beach which is much better than Hawa Beach anyway.

The atmosphere of this place is amazing - we even extended for an extra night. Downstairs a small cafe that serves an excellent breakfast and tea with amazing selection of sides. The hosts Mani and Mandju are so attentive, we truly couldn't ask for more. The rooms are tidy and spacious with nice decor. Location is also great - just short stroll to Kovalam beach. Would come back again in a heartbeat.

The place exceeded our expectations in all ways - be it food or the rooms or the service. The AC room size was huge and the décor was very nice. The Non AC room too was very spacious. The staff was very helpful and made it feel like home. Their food was delicious and at the same time hygienic. Cleanliness was taken care off and the overall vibe of the place was welcoming. Wished we stayed for more days. Beach was within 5 min walking distance. Unlike most Kovalam hotels, you can get an auto/car right outside the hotel.
