Power went out 3 times. Last time it was just in my room and I had to change rooms after returning to go to bed. I did get some help with my things but it was a bit of a pain and the help seemed a bit reluctant.........

Everything was clean and comfortable.

Nothing of note

We had a lovely stay, the room was as described with A/C, fridge and hot water and quite spacious with a small table and chairs as well as a small terrace with a table and two chairs. The pool was lovely for a refreshing dip. The location is very good, only a short walk to restaurants, cafes and the beach. The host was also very nice and available to solve any issues and organise a taxi for us when we left.

I felt the laundry service was expensive - 3 x cost of any other service we have used in Sri Lanka - that said everything was returned very quickly and nicely pressed

An excellent budget stay in the heart of Mirissa - away from The noise of the main road and busy ‘strip’ but only an 8 minute walk to the beach and minutes away from some great restaurants and bars! (And the brilliant Shady Lane is only one minute away for the best coffee and brunches in town) The rooms are basic but have everything you need for a comfortable stay including good a/c, large bed and plenty of room The ladies who run the Holaa are delightful and very helpful in organising taxis, excursions etc

The bathroom ended up a bit flooded anytime you showered - other places I stayed in had the water rakes to push it down towards the drain, which are helpful. No warm water. Looks better in the photos, especially the pool which no one seemed to be using. They could definitely make some small touches to make it more appealing.

The location was excellent - just a short walk to the beach. Far enough away from the busy main street so it was quiet at night. Some cute cafes just a stones through - Coco Mama and Shady Lane. The lady who runs the place was really friendly. The room was very clean - they cleaned it everyday.

Bed was a bit hard-

Friendly and informal hotel-tucked away but easy to access all needed and the beach

Great location, friendly staff. They made a special breakfast for New Year’s Day. Only a 7 minute walk to the beach

The pictures showing the outdoor area are quite dated. Overall the place could use a bit of TLC. Our room was ok if not a bit basic and the bathroom door didn't close.

Staff were friendly, welcoming and accommodating. The place was very clean and location was ideal. Bed was very comfy and there was tea and coffee available for the mornings.

no complaints

Our room was very clean and a good size . we also had a lovely balcony overlooking the pool . Kalgani the owner. was lovely ,very helpful and cooked a very good breakfast . She even got up at 4.30am to make sure our taxi had turned. up. The other ladies were very friendly too. The hotel is in a super location. just a few minutes walk from the restaurants, bars and beach . A little oasis with lots of nature within the hotel. I loved watching a humming bird , eagle , peacock and a monkey from the sunbed. Bliss. I loved swimming in the pool too which was a bonus

We were not greeted with a smile upon arrival. First encounter with the evil adult woman... She put us in a room where the air conditioning was not working, it was terribly hot and stuffy, and my wife is pregnant... In the middle of the night we had to move first to the next room, and then to the next room until she found a room with working air conditioning. We carried all our luggage from room to room ourselves... It turned out that they knew about the problems with the air conditioning, but they put a pregnant woman in a super hot and stuffy room... The room they moved us to had absolutely no view, even though we had paid for a room with a pool view... The breakfast was not tasty... The only good thing was the pool. I would not recommend the place to anyone...

Only the pool...

NO hot water, but this was the most expensive hotel in our Sri Lanka trip. The hotel did not assist with the luggage

Balcony was not very private. Curtains did not fully close

Lovely big clean room with good air conditioning. Room cleaned every day. Pool area was like a green oasis away from the craziness of the main street. Owner was friendly and polite. Only 5-10 minute walk to the beach and all of the bars/restaurants, but really quiet at night

Spacious room with AC, comfy bed and a good shower! Tea and coffee available alongside daily housekeeping. Super close to the beach, supermarkets and some gorgeous cafes. Friendly helpful staff. I loved everything about my stay and could have easily stayed a week (or even two) it was perfect thank you for everything xx

Only thing we would have liked was a mosquito net but it was a necessity.

The pool was especially lovely and well maintained. The rooms were really spacious and everything was clean. Staff were really friendly and welcoming.

The owner/manager’s attitude and manner is simply atrocious. She has no idea whatsoever how to talk to customers and is sour faced and openly rude. Service with a grimace rather than a smile, and everything seemed like a problem despite talking politely to her. The room was generally tired with paint peeling off the ceiling, no shower screen, and bare wires in bedroom and bathroom. My duvet cover smelled really bad and I politely asked if I could have another one but she blankly refused saying there was no staff until the following day. I then suggested I could remake the bed if she just went and got one but was rudely refused and told I’d have to wait until the following day. I was there 4 nights and asked one morning whether I could have breakfast, to which she grimaced again and said I could go and ask the staff upstairs, making out I was being difficult in asking! I went elsewhere for breakfast due to the nature of the reply. One evening she lit a fire bowl in the reception area which completely smoked and stank the whole hotel out. I realise this was a form of prayer, but it really wasn’t conducive to a hotel atmosphere! Not a nice lady. Avoid.

Rooms are a decent size and my room looked out over the pool. Air con worked well. Nice pool.

- No hot water - Breakfast started at 0830 which is quite late and during check in, we were told breakfast was 0800-1000 which wasn’t true and made us late for other activities as we had plans for 0900 - Wifi connection was poor - Didn’t really look like the pictures online - Basic western breakfast - Check out time was 10:30 which felt very early

- Clean room & bathroom - Great location - Comfy bed - Friendly staff - Nice pool - Good Aircon

Rooms are spacious and clean. Have a fridge, kettle, hot water showers, and great AC! Little outdoors area to yourself is wonderful. The pool area is perfect, relaxed and a great pool, plenty of umbrellas if you want shade. Staff are beyond delightful and accommodating. Did our laundry for us, booked our whale trip, nothing is a problem. Loved it so much we're still here two days after we should have left!
