    Too many flies !

    Room was OK for $$, shower was good, nice to have chairs outside door looking on to pool. The grounds were pleasant and it is well located for the beach and variety of restaurants.

    We didn’t have warm water but outside was so warm that we didn’t care.

    Wonderful and quiet place near the beach. The room was very clean, with the possibility of early check-in. WiFi worked flawlessly, the pool was clean and the area was beautiful. I was surprised by the beautiful flowers around. Breakfast was modest but sufficient.

    That our room had the other guests outside the room's window having their breakfast on the verandah. There are only 2 other guest rooms so not really a big issue, but you'd expect the owners to have that particular room as it is also next to the kitchen?

    Pool and garden were lovely. A little oasis. Room had everything we needed except a fridge. Breakfast was lovely as we took the choice of the local Sri Lankan breakfast.

    Lots of mosquitos, though it's to be expected in the location. Nets, AC and fan help. There didn't seem to be hot water, and I don't know if that was in the description. However, the mid temperature water feels good in the tropical warmth.

    Very nice little pool and garden, quiet location yet only a short walk from the beach, shops and restaurants. Basic but comfortable room. Kind and helpful staff, though they deferred any questions about things like late check out to be asked through booking.com messaging. But this communication method worked reasonably well.

    The shower had very low pressure and A/C is very loud.

    The guest house is in a very good location, only a few minutes walk away from the shops and the bitch. The room is very simple and the bathroom could have a better shower. The staff is polite and friendly. Good cheap option for a short stay.

    The way they try to earn additional money...and lack of understanding in english that you want a local spicy food for breakfast

    Ordered local breakfast every day and never got what I ordered...wanted local spicy but it was not...got always day before a confirmation next morning will be fine...but it was not. Also be careful with coffee for breakfast. If you drink coffee before breakfast but skip for breakfast they charge you for coffee anyway. Acording to the offer coffee or tea is included in breakfast ...so this part I did not like....the owner put a lot of efforts in maintaining the garden and pool but tries to earn additional money this way what I inderstand but the way they do is not nice...just keep this in mind...

    The location, garden and pool superb

    The metal bunk bed in the family room made a very loud squeaky sound every time you moved. We all had to sleep with ear plugs. The thin mattress of the bunk bed only holds small light weight children. They were thinking about buying a new wooden one, that would be an improvement.

    We loved the setting with all the trees and plants. It’s a quiet street, away from the noisy main streets . The wooden furniture is tasteful and staff friendly and helpful. It’s an oasis.
