We stayed in one of the beach huts on this property. It is about a 5-10 minute walk to the beach (passing many caves, restaurants and shops). The hotel itself does not have a communal area so it's hard to meet other travellers and there isn't anywhere to sit outside at the hotel. However, the beach is what you are... More

Woodhouse Beach Resort was a great stay! When my husband and I arrived, they upgraded our room for free because it was at the end of the season. The staff is very friendly and helpful, always saying "hello" and making seeing if we needed anything for our room. The location just north of the main area of Varkala, so it's... More

Me and my mom stayed at Woodhouse Beach Resort for two weeks in December 2011 and we couldn't have found a better place! It was just perfect for us. If you're looking for a big luxurious hotel where all the tourists are you might wanna keep looking (actually you might not even wanna go to Varkala), but if you're looking... More

The soul is recharged!! This is certainly the most peaceful place in Varkala just away from the crowd. A small beach just in front really wonderful and not so crowded like the main beach. Shops and other restaurants 2 minutes by walk from the place. Amazing and wonderful sunset view from the beach front restaurant. Superb hospitality, the manager and... More

I and my friends spent wonderful days in a nice resort close to the center of Varkala, in Kerala, India. Staff's friendship and relaxing places to visit all around will be unforgettable. Beaches is close to the resort and restaurants / shops as well. You can do everything (sea and night time life) just walking in few minutes. More

Very nice location, good food, great management, perfectly designed modest bungalows, the nicest and most friendly staf. Sounds perfect? Could be... However, there was a construction operation which went on in a VERY noisy manner 24 hours each and every day of the 5 days I stayed there. The poor gentle owners of the Woodhouse were way too gentle to... More

Going by the great reviews by other tripadvisor travellers, I cancelled my reservation at another hotel and made a booking at Woodhouse. It truly has the best location on the strip. Away from all the fanfare and peddlers, it's quiet. Their dining area is the closest one on the strip to the sea. The restaurant boys are really friendly and... More

We stayed in both the hotel and the beach huts, and both was really nice. Loved the balcony in the hotel and the hut felt really cosy. The location is ideal, it is situated at the end of the cliffs near to the Black Beach so is quiet, but still a stone's throw away from eating/drinking places and the main... More

We stayed at Woodhouse over the New Year period and had a very pleasant stay indeed. Right from my fist email, Anoop the Manager was really helpful and patient with all my questions and with arranging the booking. One of our bags got lost by Jet Airways on the flight to Trivandrum and Anoop was more than happy to help... More
