Shiva Gardens Homestay

We stayed for 3days at shiva garden over the December and really We had a great time, the owners are a very lovely family. We were a couple and it's a perfect place for kids also lots of games and swings in the garden. Communal area is great. Food is lovely. The best place to keep our mind free and relaxed,Then staff are great. Rooms are basic.

Highly recommend Shiva Garden in Varkala, had a great 4 night stay at the beginning of my trip in India. 
Highlights: staff are so friendly, welcoming, helpful and really accommodating. Food is nice and a wide range on offer and someone is always around to serve you. Yoga Shala available to use at your leisure, they also put classes on. Really nice garden chill out area to meet people or just relax. Also just a short walk from the cliff. 

I stayed at shiva garden twice in the past few years, once in low season and once in high season, both experiences were thoroughly enjoyable.

The rooms are clean and large with a beautiful balcony overlooking the surrounding trees.

The guesthouse is set in a peaceful area of Varakala, just 10 minutes walk from the beach and main shops and resturants. The guesthouse itself provides exceptional food!

The property boats a huge open space with hammocks and swings, perfect for socialising with fellow guests or gazing up into the palm trees. In the summer they held movie and salsa nights as well as group meditations. 

Jayan the owner is friendly and welcoming and goes out of his way to ensure that his guests have everything they need.

The guesthouse really feels like a home and both times I found it very hard to leave! Until next time shiva garden!!

As soon as I stepped into the guesthouse with a warm welcome by Vinod I felt like home. Owner and staff are all very friendly and helpful. I stayed only 2 nights but felt like staying longer. Quiet at night, quick access to the cliff (ask it follow Google maps for shortcuts), comfortable outdoor seating and food and drinks available. They also rent bicycles. The owner arranged a taxi pick up from the airport as I arrived in the evening. And a rickshaw to Varkala station. Very good choice and value for money. 

Stayed here for our first 3 nights in India and could not of wished for a better start to our travels .. the rooms were basic but adequate.. the outside area was nicely set out where you could order breakfast lunch dinner and snacks all day .. they even went out to the bar next door to get us a nice cold beer !!
The owner was extremely helpful and the staff also .. 
the north cliff is just a short walk where you will find a good selection of restaurants serving fresh fish and the beach is just a short walk .. bit of a hike back but worth it 

I came here with the intention of staying 2-3 nights and just kept on extending my stay. Peaceful, serene and beautiful! It has a great mixture of both foreign and Indian tourists. The staff was so kind and helpful. Overall an amazing stay. Will definitely be coming back for more! 

This place is very peaceful and perfect for all travelers solo/family. It is very close to the cliff. They also have space to play basketball and board-games etc. The restaurant is average. The rooms and toilets are clean. The owner is an awesome person and ensures that you have a nice peaceful stay. He will help you with everything in Varkala.

For Relaxing best  homestay in varkala

Chilled out vibe 

Friendly and peaceful experience with plenty of wildlife!

Friendly and peaceful 

Warm and welcoming 

Amazing place in Varkala

Peaceful

Nice food but:
You wait for it  for +1,5 hour being a single costumer at the place.
If you dare to complain about it they would kindly ask you to go and it somewhere else after you've waited for 1,5 hours.



Good luck

Very unprofessional. The room had snails. The rooms were dirty.
Never men of their words.
One of the worst places in Varkala.
They have a lot of interest in guests' personal matters. They should have professional boundaries.
They should speak only when required.
Very uncivilized.
