Hostels in Kollam

I had a double room which was super nice, with a balcony facing the lake. Food was great. A kayak is there for rent, highly recommended. Very easy going and friendly atmosphere.

Such a beautiful hostel and the most lovely people. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. Beautiful community vibe

Loved everything about the property. Staff is bedy friendly and the host Raman makes sure you sre being included in all hostel group plans. Definitely recommend all solo travellers to book with them

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

Nice and comfy beds, clean, great common areas to meet people. Lovely people, very friendly and helpful

I highly recommend this recently-opened hostel with a lovely personnel ready to help. All amenities are new and clean. There is a nice rooftop space with a nice view toward the sea.

Cozy dorm, clean, curtain gives enough privacy. Nice people.

Close to the south cliff beach, which is better than the main one. The food at the hostel it’s good and cheap. People from the hostel is really friendly and helpful

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✌️😇

Great ambience sand wonderful staff. Ideal place for solo travellers. I liked the most is the open kitchen, the caring staff - Neel, Pintu, etc. Thankful to all the services.
