Fantastic hotel and staff, I want to mention: Praveen, the general manager, made the time to come and speak to us , very professional! Suralal, Adarsh and Deepu, the front office team, what can we say, these 3 were amazing, helpful, nothing was too much trouble...and kept in supply if many cups of coffee! Vishnu, Kavitha and Prashant, the housekeeping team, excellent service, room was spotless every day, and the towel art was fantastic, Lovely surprises! Sunil, the chef...it was like having our own private chef, the dishes he cooked for us were out of this world, the flavours were amazing something deliciously different every day! And thanks to Ambili and Kishnar Kutty, the kitchen team, their help with the dishes and the service they gave was impeccable. Thanks to Raju (day) and Mohan (night), the guards, very attentive and always a wave and a big smile. Finally Kilson and Anil, the maintenance team, always on hand to help with any problems. Thank you all, you should all be so proud of yourselves, the hotels reputation only has you all to thank.

A superb experience. The staff were amongst the best, most helpful and engaging we have experienced in many years and many countries. My wife and i could not be more thankful for the staff. Clean, great breakfast, great pool, lovely facilities. Less than 2 minutes walk to the edge of Varkala Cliff. If we visit Varkala again, we would stay here in a heartbeat. We tried to speak Hindi as much as we could and the staff loved our useless efforts. My laundry went missing - for about 35 minutes - as they gave me the wrong bag, and they leapt into action to solve a simple error.

Excellent stay.. Kids enjoyed to the fullest..rooms were clean and comfortable..Well maintained swimming pool. Good breakfast.. Polite and helpful staff.. The staff was very accomodateive. Beautiful location near the cliff. Walkable to beach Check in can be made easier and smoother.

Great Location, Best Hospitality Soj joys is wonderfully located at just stone throw away from north cliff. In fact it’s the only full fledged upscale hotel with amenities that close to the beach. In evenings traffic is blocked for cars from the main road into the road leading to cliff hence it was absolutely convenient to have a hotel that close to the beach. Rooms are large, and very aesthetically decorated with paintings, pool is decent size for a quick splash in the water. Rooms, Hotel premises, Bathrooms, Showers, everything is very clean and nicely maintained. 5/5 on location and cleanliness Staff is absolutely welcoming, giving personal attention, greeting with a smile always. Food is absolutely delicious, best we had in our 10 day Kerala trip. Though spread is limited in breakdown, you have everything needed for a hearty meal, nuts, cereals, fresh juices, fruits, yogurts, smoothies and traditional Indian dishes were mouth watering. Hats off to their in house chefs for such delicious homely meals. Food 5/5 Staff 5/5 Will definitely stay here next time we’re in Varkala.

This has to be one of the nicest hotels we have stayed in during our trip to India. It is spotlessly clean, the breakfasts are amazing and the staff are so polite and helpful. The manager goes out of his way to ensure that the hotel is smoothly run and guests needs are met. It’s a small hotel which is in a very convenient location.

We had a stay for 2 nights in the hotel in Dec'24. Overall, we felt that there were small things that were either not taken care of or were an inconvenience for us maybe due to luck that made our stay not that amazing. 1. Noisy room—The room we were given was so close to the main road that until late, one could hear vehicular and other noises, causing disturbances to sleep. The room also overlooked the reception area since the middle part of the floor was hollow. This caused more noise to reach the room from guests checking out. 2. Housekeeping issues - The room was not cleaned by Housekeeping despite firm instructions given by us while stepping out. 3. TV - While watching TV was not the main goal of the stay, dealing with a horrible TV with an even more horrible remote is the last thing you need when trying to relax after a tiring day out. It would be unfair if we only called out the problems without mentioning the Good part about the property - 1. Well-behaved staff 2. Proximity to the beach and cliff road 3. Good food We think that the property has good potential to be among the 1st choice for visitors to Varkala if they can focus more on some of the above-mentioned points
