What Guests Say
With only three Google Maps reviews and a current rating of 2.7★, guest feedback at Perfect Lodge is sparse - and the most detailed account is a strong caution.
Gayathri Raj, reviewing the lodge, gives it 1 star and writes:
“I will never recommend this hotel to anyone. Very poor service. Basic things like quilts and blankets were not provided by the staff. Cockroaches are everywhere in the room. No keys for the room. Nothing was maintained properly and don’t even think of using the toilets, very unhygienic condition. Dirty and torn bedspreads which isn’t washed at all. Looted more money in the name of AC Rooms and after all these drama, the staffs were shamelessly demanding for tips. ‘PERFECT LODGE’, is completely ‘IMPERFECT’.”
The concerns documented in available feedback include severe cleanliness problems , cockroach infestations , unhygienic bathrooms , no room keys provided , torn and unwashed bedding , and billing disputes around AC room charges. The recent review average stands at 1.0 out of 5.
Pilgrims who need reliable hygiene standards - particularly elderly guests, those with health concerns, or families with young children - are encouraged to consider alternatives in the All hotels in Velankanni directory before making a decision.
