Hostels in Kollam

Adil and Goodwin were hosting and they are very friendly and jovial. We have a shared kitchen to cook food, and rental bicycles to roam around the beautiful Munroe island. And also its lakefront view and they have kayaking as well. I've been in the HostelExp Varkala and liked the vibe there and came here and it's worth it. Thank you Adil & Goodwin for the amazing experience

I stayed for one week. Perfect location, clean and comfortable rooms, you can swim in the lake, and overall Naijeen has been a wonderful host !! Thanks for everything !

Stunning location of you want access to a secluded little beach away from the hustle and bustle which gets pretty unbearable at the weekend. Lovely staff (thanks Pooja!) who helped me book my train. Rooms are basic but miraculously cool thanks to sea breeze. No mosquito problems. Nice outdoor area. Great place!

I absolutely loved my stay here, the location is perfect which is just 3 minutes walk from the helipad, The host was incredibly friendly and liked the community kitchen. The dorms and washroom are neat and clean, a wonderful and vibrant common area with a lot of board games to play.

About the hostel very shortly, well facilitated, comfortable, and neat. I do believe that people create a unique place, and this place confirms that. The host, Santos, is so generous, hospitable, and helpful. He can arrange everything, bicycle, food, trains, and I guess much more. He is communicative, polite and funny. .I wish every hotel had such a host. Thanks Chetta

I loved the area, it is very quiet but still close to the coast. There are also many local cheap restaurants close by. The staff was very nice. It's very comfortable and clean

Was a really nice place to stay. My partner and I had our own room which was lovely. Staff really nice and helpful and the property was in a good location close to the beach and shops.

Yes Hostel in Varkala isn’t just a place to stay it’s a vibe, a community, and for me, a turning point. As a first time solo traveler, I was unsure about the whole hostel experience. But trusting my instincts and booking four nights here turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. From the moment I arrived, I felt a genuine sense of belonging that completely changed my perception of hostel life. Harish, the host, is incredibly welcoming and made me feel at ease right away. Shafeeq, the ever jovial chef, brought laughter and warmth to every moment. Vineesh, the creative soul behind the hostel’s quirky art, added a splash of personality to the space. And Steven, a fellow traveler from Hyderabad, became an unexpected companion whose presence made my stay even more memorable. They helped me plan my daily itinerary and even included me in their evening hangouts walking along the cliffside beach, sharing stories, and playing endless rounds of badminton. And then there’s Angel, their adorable indie dog, who added an extra layer of comfort and companionship to my stay. She’s the kind of furry friend who makes a place feel like home. This experience completely reshaped my perception of hostels. What started as a solo trip ended with me gaining a second family. I’d choose Yes Hostel again in a heartbeat no second thoughts, no regrets. If you're looking for a place that’s not just comfortable but also filled with warmth, laughter, and unforgettable company, this is it. Highly recommended for anyone seeking more than just a stay this is where memories are made. Right in the heart of Varkala❤️ -RK✌️😇

The rooms were so comfortable. AC works great, comfortable beds, good curtains for privacy. The yoga Shaka is beautiful with an amazing view of the ocean and sunset/sunrise. The common areas are super chill and met a lot of really nice people. Great value for the price! Felt very safe as a solo female traveler staying in the all female dorms. Very clean as well! Thank you!

The dorm and the location were perfect, I cannot say much about the staff and other services because I didn't use it. Overall would recommend this place.
