Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I know this clinic and Dr. Srijit many years! If you are traveling in Kerala/Varkala then be sure to visit this clinic to plunge into the atmosphere of authentic Ayurveda! Very quiet place and friendly staff. The doctor gave the entire group a good discount thank him a lot! To each client personal attention. It holds Ayurveda and Pancha karma! With respect Devi Guidat

I received rave reviews about this place and decided to do a 14 day program, which included a tailored diet to be prepared by the woman in the hotel I was staying at. I'm gluten intolerant and have IBS and the diet needed to take this into account and still include all the sufficient nutrients for proper digestion. My back started hurting very early into the program,due to lack of proper food, causing problems with my digestive system, and was exacerbated by bad massages from a very new therapist, and yoga classes which I had t stop after a few days. There was a lack of communication between the therapist, the doctor, and the owner of the guesthouse who was preparing my food. I spoke to the doctors demanding a change of diet and that my treatment be modified because of my back, and somehow the dietary requirements weren't communicated properly, and the modified treatment wasn't remotely effective. I ended up leaving the program early, amid an atmosphere of blame whereby each doctor was blaming the other one for the problems I'd experienced. I had arrived healthy, just wanting a bit of detox, and left with back pains and stomach issues that are still healing. Dr Sreejith tried to make up for it by offering me free spine massages administered by him, but they didn't help the issue, only made me wish that the all massages I'd received would have been to the standard of the two he gave me.
I have to say that I heard nothing but praise for Absolute Ayurveda from all the people I met while doing the treatments, and the people who had recommneded the place to me were totally shocked when I told them I spoke to about what had happened. They have run an ayurveda program in conjunction with these doctors for years, and have never had any problems. I assume that my case and treatment somehow fell between the cracks, and hope that they learn something from it.
Also, a couple of things to note. The facilities are old and there were a lot of ants and insects on the walls and in the bathrooms. The towels they provide are tiny and really flimsy, so bring your own towels if you want a decent dry-off after showering. Another thing that disturbed me was that there were other therapists coming in and out during the treatments, with no respect for privacy (the massages are done when you're basically naked with just a piece of cloth covering your lower regions). In addition, there were several time when other patients were taken through the room I was being treated while I was lying on the table, with no attempt to cover me up or protect my privacy.

I can definitely recommend the excellent full body massages. I had 11 of them during my stay in Varkala and Akhil, my masseur, surprised me every time with his professionalism, his creativity and his strong and sensitive hands! I felt in good hands sleep sound again thanks Akhil! Thank you and the whole team! Henrik

Amazing treatments and always a relaxing place to go! After going for a specific health problem I had a free consultation (which took 1 hour) and the doctors were so informative and always willing to go out of their way. Such a great place to go!

I am a physician, yet I do believe in alternative integrated healing. This place was unbelievable. Was not luxurious by any means, but definitely therapeutic. I was rubbed and poked and prodded daily for up to 2 hours. the price was about $30 USD. I don't know how I will survive my daily life back at work without my daily constitutional ritual rubdown! I had shirudara the first day for fun and relaxation, then an herbal poultice scrub and a steam, then for the ensuing 3 days a rice rub. The end result was that I felt wonderful, vibrant, clean, healthy.
This was the highlight of my yoga retreat in Kerala. A must do. I was prescribed a healthy regimen of eating and herbs to adhere to back in the states...fingers crossed it will do nicely and I can follow it outside of the natural environment.

Dr. Sreejith Kumar provided me and my wife with a great analysis of our doshas and, based on his analysis, designed a week-long program for us consisting of different 90-120 minute massages. His therapist staff is knowledgeable and gave professional treatments at very reasonable prices. Dr. Sreejith was also very nice to help my wife and myself when we got sick during our stay with a stomach flu and a sore throat and gave us good medicine for our treatment. We can highly recommend Absolute Ayurveda for everybody who is visiting Varkala and who is interested in receiving professional ayurveda treatments in a basic but clean and very welcoming environment.

This place was awesome. The doctor was great and prescribed me a weeklong treatment of massages, and other ayurvedic treatments. I had 90-120 minute sessions for 5 days and paid less than what I would pay for 1 massage in the US. Each treatment was fantastic and Soumya, my therapist, was remarkable in her care for me.
The place is basic--nothing fancy, AT ALL--but I think that added to its charm. You go there to have your work done, and that is the focus. I loved it.
I would return to make this place the focus of my visit to Varkala.

Liebe Nadine, ich bin zwar nicht Maria, aber ich war im Dezember 2018 das 2. Mal einen ganzen Monat dort und kann dir empfehlen, direkt dort zu buchen. Gewohnt habe ich in 2018 im Sea Pearl Chalets, direkt an der Steilküste und nur wenige Gehminuten zur ayurveda clinic. LG Sabine

Здравствуйте, Марина!
Я заплатила за курс лечения за 18 дней около 500 долларов. В эту цену входил ежедневный массаж, несколько детокс-процедур, 3 процедуры широдары, 2 панчакармы, маски и массаж для лица, лекарства на время пребывания и довольно внушительный объем лекарств с собой. Если жить напротив, в Варкала Виллас, дадут скидку, как в моем случае. Конкретные цены на услуги затрудняюсь сказать. Комплекс процедур подбирают только после консультации врача. С уважением, Ольга Бирюкова
