Zostel- Love it. Now? —> Leave it. Now!

+ AC worked + Room was clean

- loud music until 12 - complicated check in - indian standard, far from Europe standard - overall Indian guests, not possible to meet other world travelers - it’s not directly on the cliff situated, the pics are fake , it’s 3 row

A picturesque stay in Varkala!

we chose the A frame deluxe room and it was a beautiful stay with the view of the sea. Facilities were adequate and comfortable.

Pillows had hairs which we had to clean before using.

Dead Vibe.

Location.

Hospitality was bad, no warm welcome, no basic information given about things to do etc erc. Dead Vibe. Bad songs played at the cafe which has such an amazing location. Could have been much better. Smelly bathrooms, broken fittings, hostel not maintained properly .

Good place for workcation and college students vacation.

View from the roof top restaurant is exotic. Play your own songs on party speaker is over whelming. Enjoyed cozy laydown on hammock which is available separately for all guests.

Bathroom in A frame cottage had water logging issues. Property owner new about it and kept mop to drain water. It's weird to mop and drain water after our bath inside bathroom. Unfortunately our A frame cottage lock broken at 11 PM. Door has only one key lock. We sealed our room with cello fen tape to sleep, however I felt insecure without locked door.

Bad experience at zostel varkala

Except the location, my overall experience with zostel is very bad. Not at all recommended

The rooms are not at all cleaned. Very unhygienic and also the food is worst in the cafe.

Decent location. Disappointing stay experience.

Only good thing about this property is the beach accessibility. Walkable distance from black sand beach.

Theres a “No slippers allowed” property policy which I only got to know after I checked in. The floor is sticky and very uncomfortable to walk on barefoot. You cannot wear any slippers inside the building. None of this was mentioned in the policy document of Zostel Varkala which was disappointing. When asked about this, the receptionist was rude and said nobody complained and it was just my problem. And asked me to check zostel site and not third party websites. If you’ve listed your property on a third party website you have all the responsibility to mention every policy or provide indoor slippers for those in need. Overall the stay wasn’t appealing, because of the damp floors which were uncomfortable to walk on.

Zostal controlled by Mafia’s, Not SAFE for WOMEN!!

worst place to stay, I will no recommend this place, open drug use, all sort of illegal activities going on, not at all safe for women travelers

everything, we were just waiting for the day to get over, and run away. since we had already paid and no refund policy stopped us
