We stayed two nights at Mummy Bamboo house for 1000 rupees per night. It was an ideal location - easy walk to local restaurants and beach and situated among yoga/ayuverdic treatment centres. Mummy Bamboo was extremely welcoming - she sent a rickshaw to pick us up from the bus station and offered home cooked meals, helped with washing etc. Our... More

My sister and I have just spent three fantastic weeks at Mummy Bamboo guesthouse. It is the PERFECT base from which to explore beautiful Varkala! Perfectly located mid way along the cliff and set back to avoid the hustle and bustle. It is extremely well priced considering other options in the area. Rani and Sudanen offer an airport pick up...

After a shaky start because of a greedy Taxi Driver we settled into our room happily. (This was not of Rani's making). Security here was not a problem if you are sensible and with the... More

This is our second stay with Rani, Sudhanen, Aria and Akil, and our 3rd stay in Varkala. We always choose the rooms down stairs at the front so that we can be involved with the daily happenings. Always love Rani's cooking, especially the Crab curry - Banana pancakes were a favorite with Mum for breakfast, and we loved the Idly's... More

I came to this guesthouse on the back of another traveller's recommendation and was very glad I did. The lady who runs it was very friendly and welcoming and I felt I had no choice but to stay! My room (500R) was nice and clean. The double bed had a framed mosquito net allowing lots of space within it. Bathroom... More

Just to make this clear - we didn't stay at the guesthouse. Only did the cooking lessons. We decided to take cooking lessons at Mummy Bamboo house after the other well known cooking school in Varkala cancelled on us twice. But boy, I'm glad they did! Rani is a lovely woman, very gentle and giggly! She gets the ingredients fresh... More
