    We had a lovely stay at the Ancient Tree guest house. Location was excellent - short walk to the beach and restaurants but also quiet. The family who owns the place was super helpful and welcoming. Thank you!!

    For the price? Nothing. Take tuktuk for 2 dollars to the beach. Absolutely worth the money.

    The staff was great and the location is very quiet. The pool was cleaned every day. The breakfast was good and tasty and the rooms are large and clean. What else to look for.

    I know it’s budget accommodation but it lacked compared to all the other places we’d stayed in Sri Lanka. Almost there but not quite.

    The location is great very near the beach but away from the chaos of Mirrisa. Lots of places to eat within easy walking distance.Bathroom was good hot shower etc.The room was adequate but would have been very cramped if it’d had the full 4 occupancy. Breakfast was tasty and the owners very friendly.

    We rented a 4 person room, which had two double beds, but unfortunately the room was too small. We didn’t have space to open our suitcases and slide them under the bed. We could only get one out at a time which was really inconvenient because that was the only place we had to store our clothes.

    The hosts were welcoming and the room was clean. It is located on a back lane filled with yoga and spa treatments. The lane leads to a Buddhist temple. There’s a coffee shop at the bottom of the hill, and the beach is opposite this.

    The fan in our room was quite slow, and therefore the room hot. However they helped with placing an extra table fan, and then it was fine.

    Very friendly staff! The owner helped me with a surprise picknick breakfast for my boyfriends birthday, it was very well arranged. Also did laundry for us. Breakfast was good. Good quality for the price. Location is suburb, close to the beach and restaurants but away from the noise.

    The room was a bit small for 4 people, there was hardly enough room for all our things.

    The location is great, only a short walk to the beach, shops, and restaurant. Also a bus stop for Galle is in the vicinity. The owners were extremely nice and helpful, their breakfasts were great, fresh and tasty. Laundry service was a big plus.

    Perfect location, super close to the beach but still nice and quite. Lots of green around! The owners were absolutely lovely and so helpful. The room was clean, big and had mosquito nets. Possibly my favorite guesthouse in Sri Lanka so far!

    The host was the kindest, most genuine person. She made sure everything was perfect and taken care of for us. For example, she suggested options for breakfast, but made sure we would enjoy it and be OK with what she was providing us. Additionally, she gave recommendations and explained which buses to take and from where. The location of the home is also very good, it's only a 5 minute walk to Mirissa Beach, and within walking distance to Coconut Tree Hill, Parrot Rock, the centre of Mirissa...
