This place had a mixed experience overall. The location itself was quite decent — the ambiance was calm and pleasant, and the staff were very polite and helpful. Stay felt like Home The bathroom facilities were also good and Room was well cleaned and spacious too. owner response was very quick. As for the amenities, Wi-Fi was available. The parking space was good and the kitchen was an exceptional part as we can cook over selves with all basic amenities. Just a small issue like leakage of water in one bathroom, But Honestly this place could easily become a great spot to visit and it really feels like Home 🏠

Rental Kings - Villa 01

BishalRating, 5 stars4 months ago
Beautiful stay at Thiruvananthapuram. Sad we could not stay for more than a day. The house is beautifully decorated and great for long stays. Really well setup, with all amenities you might need. No problems at all. The host is easily contactable. It’s very close to the airport as well, barely 500m away. definite recommendation especially for family trips

Family fun 2 BHK spacious house

NishantRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Had an amazing stay at Steve’s place. Steve’s parents who stay downstairs were super kind and helpful. Had a great time conversing with them. This place is centrally located and makes it convenient to commute. Zomato/Swiggy works just fine. This place has a dedicated car parking, which keeps your vehicle safe.

Elegant Minimalist Villa

parvathyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
I recently stayed at a villa in Varkala, and it was an amazing experience. The location was ideal—close to the beach, cliffs, and temples, yet still peaceful and private. Surrounded by lush greenery, the villa offered a relaxing atmosphere, and the neighborhood was safe and friendly. A big thank you to Kumar Uncle, who was incredibly helpful throughout our stay. He shared great local tips and made sure we had everything we needed. Praveen, the host, was equally fantastic—quick to respond and always attentive to our needs. Overall, it was a fantastic stay. With the beautiful setting, perfect location, and incredible hosts, it truly exceeded all expectations.
