Review for Indian Art Villa, Varkala: I was genuinely impressed by the beautiful wall paintings that adorned the premises. These artworks offered a touch of culture and sophistication that promised an enriching experience.

Review for Indian Art Villa, Varkala: I'm sorry to say, but our stay at Indian Art Villa in Varkala was a deeply disappointing experience. Right from the onset, things were far from ideal. We arrived at around 4 PM and were met with a vacant reception. No welcoming faces, no guidance - it took three phone calls to the owner before we could finally settle into our room. Navigating through the narrow lanes with our car was a challenge in itself, and to our surprise, there wasn't a single staff member on-site to assist us. This lack of basic hospitality is not something you expect when you're paying for a stay. The room's bathroom was another letdown. It's baffling that in a property that charges a premium rate, they missed out on providing something as fundamental as a lock on the bathroom door. To top it off, while one might expect proximity to the beach given its location in Varkala, the beach is a good 1 km away, making it not as accessible as one would hope. In summary, Indian Art Villa failed to deliver on multiple fronts and did not provide value for the money we spent. I'm afraid I cannot recommend this homestay to anyone looking for a comfortable and hassle-free stay in Varkala.

AC, swinging chairs, the white doggo and the host rafi who was incredibly helpful

Slightly low water pressure in the shower and a few plants that were dead in the lobby and on the stair case

While booking i mentioned 11 o clock i will be reach there. Due to traffic it got delayed little bit. They allotted my room to someone without my knowledge.

Very helpful staff, the villa is located in such a nice and quiet are, but still very close to the beach and the cliff life! Very sweet stay, thank you!

Location is good and so Was the room.

Management system does not work and I was asked to move during my stay even though my reservation was confirmed. It happaned to one more person during my stay. So overall it is hard for me to recommend this place as you will never know what is going to happen.

Rafi is a great great host, from the ambience to home like feel to spacious rooms, everything was perfect. The bestttt place to stay in Varkala.

There's nothing!

No one there for a check in or check out. No English. No communication possible! I had to wait forever. There is a large dog that even blocks the entrance at times. Of course there is a lot of barking. My reservation get's cancelled by the property without any reason!

I had a great time during stay here , Rafi is friendly and welcoming , u can expect almost everything near the place like restaurants shops and it’s only 4 mins walkable distance to the beach. it’s one of the best place in varkala to stay with good ambience

nothing
