"Great place, quiet, secluded beach, close enough to shops and restaurants at Varkala Beach- 100-200 rupees in a tuk tuk.
Hotel staff go out of their way to help you, they arranged our transport wherever we wanted to go and prices were fantastic"
"Helpful staff and clean rooms with sea views across the helipad/car park.
Near to clifftop restaurants and the beach. Quiet during weekdays.
Slightly lacking in atmosphere (restaurant is only open for breakfast - no evening bar/restaurant available, although there are many within a short walk)"
"Hotel is located on the main cliff top by the heli pad. Very conviently to walk straight along to the numerous bats and resturants along the cliff front as well as get to the beach. The room was spacious, clean and working AC, fan and a min fridge. Wifi reception was good and overall a pleasant stay at this hotel."
"I absolutely loved staying here, really beautiful hotel and excellent location. The staff were so lovely and helpful too. I was sad to only stay one night, I’ll come back for sure! "
"Really sweet spot just off the beach up a commerce alley. Jishnu the host was very nice and helpful with getting comfortable. Hot shower if you want it - but I’ve learned to love taking cold showers here - and the bathroom was perfectly clean and well appointed. I will be back here at the Gypsy next year for sure."
"Having travelled around India for 5 weeks it was refreshing to find a hotel where we weren’t pestering for reviews every 5 minutes! Maybe that’s because they don’t need to as they already know that their staff are all friendly and helpful, the hotel and rooms comfortable and spotlessly clean, nice food and pool. And all this just a short stroll to all the amenities of North Cliff. We were there when the monsoon started and as we had a late flight they allowed us to use our room until late...
"Excellent atmosphere and vibes!
Staff is always with a smile and very happy to work.
It’s a shame I had planned to move elsewhere or I would have happily stayed at this property.
P.s as a foreigner here you can apply for UPI the only way to pay with your card all across India"

"We had an excellent stay at this property, the rooms were very clean and well
maintained. There was an initial issue with one of the ac’s but they immediately gave us an additional room. I have to say a special thanks to the wonderful staff who went out of their way to make our stay awesome. Thank you Haleema, Abhay, jayan and Safna"

We were there when the monsoon started and as we had a late flight they allowed us to use our room until late afternoon without even a hint of an extra charge which was hugely appreciated. Excellent customer service and highly recommended."
