Zebra Hostels

Misleading listing. No mention that the room had no attached washroom — we were told a shared one was “private” for us, which was absurd. Towels were also denied despite being mentioned on the app. We paid fully at check-in and then were left unsure whether to stay due to these surprises. Totally unacceptable. Avoid unless the listing is corrected.

I had a great stay in Varkala. I initially booked an Ac dorm for one day but ended up staying for a week because it was so comfortable. The staff were very welcoming and knowledgeable about local spots to explore. If you are looking for a comfortable budget stay, go for it!

Zebra was one of the best memories of my last year. Loved the time I spent with Vivek and his team. I booked for 3 days but I ended up staying for over three weeks. The place is an old property converted into a hostel. It is accessible to the Varkala cliff and is in a quieter area. The team running this hostel are a bunch of talented people who love to travel and embrace new experiences. Do book this place if you are looking for an easygoing and calm time in Varkala.

Homely and lively hostel. Perfect place to chill at the hostel and a short walk away from the cliff / beach area. Hospitable staff and guests whom you'd befriend for life. Vivek and Jabi are doing a phenomenal work with the hostel in terms of vibe and facilities - helpful in ensuring any arrangements you might need are taken care of, be it surfing lessons, rented scooty, directions, recommendations ... Overall a fun and lovely experience to have stayed at the beautiful Zebra Hostels

Very comfortable and clean place, well lit, fresh rooms. Very good place to stay.
