ジッキーズ ネスト

It was too pricy considering the other hotels in the area. And cn considering the price the it was not up to that level. No schampo in the shower. Door very difficult too lock. No water in the room.

It’s a very nice place to stay and hang-out. Clean room,

We had a lovely stay in one of the AC rooms, which had its own small seating area and was very private and peaceful. A haven from the busy Varkala. The gardens here are beautiful and well kept, the staff all sweet and attentive and helpful, available 24hr. The breakfast included at their restaurant nearby was also great. But it was quite loud at night due to neighbouring properties, but maybe due to being there in peak season!

Die Lage ist sehr gut, nur wenige Minuten vom Strand entfernt. Alle waren super freundlich.

Dans le bâtiment principal, les chambres sont petites et simples. Nous avons changé par la suite pour un adorable petit pavillon.

Nice location but in need of a good clean and updating. Staff very helpful

I'd seen that Lonely Planet suggested this place to stay before any others, so I booked it last-minute once I'd arrived in Kerala. I booked a standard non-A/C cottage, so I can't compare it to their other rooms. I arrived at 8am and was shown to my cottage right away, which was nice of them. At the entrance and inside, it was infested with small ants. The man explained that this happens occasionally and only lasts a day; then they're gone again. A woman kept sweeping the ants away and the man returned with a bug spray to spray all over. Inside, I needed to take matters into my own hands and use my bug spray I'd packed for the trip. I must have killed a thousand of them. I didn't enjoy doing it, but I wouldn't have been able to sleep knowing they were all around my bed. That more or less took care of the immediate ant problem, and as the man said, they weren't there the next day. It was a nice little cluster of cottages. There was an air conditioner in the room actually, but there was no remote control for it. So I guess if you pay the extra $10 for an A/C cottage, you get the exact same cottage, except they leave the remote in the room. It had been warm in other parts of India too, but this area was humid, which is less comfortable than just heat. So I'd recommend an A/C room if you stay here at this time of year. They served breakfast to a little table on the front stoop area, and allowed me to store my luggage at the office while I explored the area.

Room and surrounding

The room I stayed in was situated well with an outside deck area with fan (very useful). It is nice and shaded with trees and plants. Easy access to varkala cliff and beach. The staff were all exceptionally nice.

This place is lovely. The guy who runs it is so sweet and very helpful. It's good value for money and very close to the main strip on the cliff. So great location. Would recommend.

Just a short walk to the beach. We had a very good stay.The staff very friendly.Just not very happy with pillows provided.They were old sweaty and should be replaced.Made sleep difficult.

Just a 3 minute walk to the main beach a and restaurant strip. Friendly helpful staff.

Ich hatte einen Bungalow im wunderschönen Garten sehr ruhig aber nah zum Strand und den Restaurants alles war perfekt 😊

Main attraction - smiley Jackson. Overpriced in terms of what is on offer in Varkala

We initially booked rooms in the main building but hadn't read the description properly (our fault) and noted the lack of A/C. We upgraded to the cottages (with A/C), the review is therefore based on our experience in the cottages rather than the rooms in the main building - which were pretty basic and backpacker style. The cottages were set in tropical gardens and were very large with very smart, modern bathrooms with overhead rain-style showerheads. The beds were large and comfortable and the rooms each contained a second counch that could be made up into a bed and was equally comfortable. Jicky's is less than five mins walk from all the bars and restaurants on the cliff and the beach below, but is in a quiet spot away from the noise. A lovely stay.

The best part of our stay was meeting Nigab, the manager, who went out of his way to make our stay a great one. He helped us with our travel plans too. Had a spacious room with private balcony. Set back from the beach and market so nice and quiet. No ac Will be returning. Room prices vary according to size, season and facilities. Some negotiation possible but should not expect discount if agree a price before your stay. Loved it thanks nigab you star x

super eifach der Hammer.... will be back soon

Didn't have our reservation even though paid and confirmed by hotels.com.Then told water was 200rupees when it was included on my booking thoroughly unprofessional establishment.Easy to get much better accommodation and at a better price in Varkala,AVOID at all costs.

经理非常热情，离海滩特别近，步行1分钟。晾衣服很方便。预定价格比店里贵。

Jickys ligger lite bortom själva turistgatan som ligger på Cliffen men väldigt nära ändå. Det är nära till stranden och till "Helipad" där rickshas finns. Vi bokade om till ett större rum i en stuga eftersom vi var tre personer. Vi hade en fläkt som gjorde temperaturen något svalare på natten och det finns antagligen AC-rum också. Jickys är ett enkelt boende och har trevlig personal som var personlig. Alla kan inte engelska men det går bra att prata ändå. Städning och byte av sängkläder varje dag. Jag kände mig väldigt trygg där och aldrig orolig att stölder skulle inträffa. Jickys har en egen restaurant som serverar vegetarisk mat och har god indisk frukost. Enkel restaurant som känns lite mer genuin än Cliffens övriga restauranter med popmusik.
