Swamy is the best host you can imagine.. And he becomes a real friend.. The rooms are basic, and so is the food they serve.. But the whole crew is working with pleasure and love.. The location is amazing! More

I followed the recommendations here and was shocked to see the so basic condition of this guest house and its rooms. After one night I moved to another guest house (most of them are of better condition than Bob Marley!). i suspect all these misleading recommendations were bogus. Sorry, I can't recommend this one at all! More

I just love the Bob Marley Guesthouse. I stayed there three separate times recently whilst travelling in India - and Swami became a real friend. He was incredibly helpful and posted stuff home to the UK for me as well as picking me up from the bus station one night and helping me to sort out some other stuff. The... More

I went by myself to check out the area and I had a great time with the guys at the hotel. Swami and his brother are off the hook for hospitality. I left my phone charger at home and they personally took me to go buy another one just to help me out. The fresh fish and food are amazing... More

I was in india 3 times and every time I keep going back to the Bob Marley, i love to just sit in the Bob Marley, have a drink and talk to Swamy, Stalin and the local people who go there. It is a nice place to meet new people, who are also travelling. There are clean rooms, very friendly... More

Staying at Bob Marley Guesthouse was the best accommodation decision we made throughout our entire 5 month trip to Asia. Swamy and all the guys that work here are incredibly welcoming without even trying. They truly make you feel like one of the family, as it were, making it a very welcome retreat from a sometimes stressful time in India.... More

I was in Mamallapuram while the world cup was going on. Heard about the Bob Marley from some people on the street. Best decision ever to stop there. It was the only place that was willing to keep the world cup games on and beer flowing late at night. The food was great, the other guests were fun to hang... More
