Basuri Beach Resort

Excellent 
Room more than adequate and spotlessly clean as was the whole guest house.
Hot water in the bathroom which is not always guaranteed in this area.

Quiet and peaceful area 2 good night's sleep for us. 

Up a steep hill but was ok for us but if your not to good on your pins... may be an issue as is Varkala in general

Owner Prakash was a really decent guy .

Complimentary breakfast was lovely... enough to fill you up for the morning .. 
Compliments to Prakash and the establishment

Hospitality of the Manager Mr Prakash is exceptional.. place is simple, clean and quiet. Breakfast is served in the balcony with the beach view.. there's nothing I can ask more for a  one week full of relaxing moments in a place that makes me feel like im home.

Nice room very conveniently situated , very quiet and relaxing place, the room was simple but comfortable .Breakfast was served on the balcony , it was very good and the coffee was excellent , something we rarely found in India. The lady of the house was very friendly and helpful, would definitely return there , actually one of our best experience in IKerala.

Our stay at Basuri Beach Resort in Varkala was a very nice experience owing mostly to the owner Prakash Ji, who welcomed us with coconut water, and a free WiFi Password. The location is very good with just a few minutes downhill walk to the Papanasam Beach.  One can get a good view of the sea while enjoying the swing chair in the veranda. The resort has a very serene atmosphere about it. The rooms are clean, spacious and airy. Prakash Ji and the other lady are very homely and provided us an excellent breakfast at not a minute later than our asked time. The resort is a great value for money, and I would certainly like to stay here in my next trip to Varkala.

Excellent service 

Very good place

The perfect place in Varkala for a peaceful stay and a great value for money

Good location near beach, glad we didn’t have to climb up steps to North Cliff all the time. Near some good restaurants. However the Owner (?) Mr Prakash seemed very disengaged and not very interested in communicating with us. This contrasted with everywhere else we stayed, maybe he was experiencing issues in private life or something as this also seemed to contradict the good things said about him in  other reviews. On arrival no information was volunteered about area, facilities etc and we only found out by chance on day 2 that a Kerala breakfast option was available. Lady who dealt with breakfasts was a lot more smiling and friendly but didn’t have much English.
Also found a very large cockroach (about 6-7cm) in bathroom on first night which wasn’t a great start - though do appreciate this can happen in warm climates and also in top hotels.
The presence of packs of wild street dogs in the area was disconcerting- especially during one night when in addition to the usual howling there was a dog screaming as if it was being torn apart by the others, which sadly may well have been the case.

Good location - disappointing welcome!

We opted for a non AC room because it worked out alot cheaper than an AC  room (they charge an extra 750-1000 rupees per night for AC!) but  this was a big mistake... Even with the fan on full speed it was just way too hot! Furthermore, the bathroom had no ventilation in it whatsoever so it was very hot and stuffy. The power also cut off for 15minutes which made it so much worse (this place is not backed by a generator). Worst part however was the way we were treated by management  on checkout the next morning, he accused us of breaking the balcony door and claimed it had come off the hinge. We inspected it ourselves and there was no such issue! He had put a door stopper in front of the door which was stopping it from closing. He would not let us leave untill we paid another 500 rupees and was saying that that's not alot of money for us and referring to our professions in the UK. He took my husband's bag and would not give it back to us untill we paid another 500 rupees. Having gone back and forth and wasting so much time, we were eager to catch our train and just get away from this horrid man so we paid the 500 rupees and got out of there! Do not tell this person what your occupation is as he will try to swindle more money out of you even though we already overpaid  for this particular room! Yes, unfortunately  these people exist!
