    The only downside for me was the lack of a fridge, and that the doors of the property didn't have mosquito nets, which allowed insects to get in — but it seems this is quite common in Sri Lanka. Also, there were no slippers provided in the rooms, which again seems to be a general thing. It's better for travelers to bring their own slippers, toilet paper rolls, and insect spray.

    It was a nice, comfortable, quiet, and clean place with a good location. The staff were friendly and helpful. There was hot water in the shower and toilet paper was available. They also provided hand soap. The beds had mosquito nets, which is great for preventing bites. I had a separate room with air conditioning. I arrived late at night, and the staff welcomed me warmly.

    The room had a lot of mosquitos, but we had a net so this kinda fixed it. The bathroom wasnt clean, thats why we don’t give it a 10.

    This hostel was ok for 1 night before going to the airport. The staff was really friendly, they also fixed a tuktuk for 1000 (I guess it’s the tourist price 😅)

    Everything is fine

    The hotel is located in a private house, with a very quiet and calm atmosphere. There is a shared kitchen, refrigerator, water. You can order laundry at will 800 rupees. Quite good repair in light colors. The room I had with a huge bed. There is shampoo, conditioner and soap! Excellent staff who are ready to fulfill your wishes. From the hotel in 5 minutes there is a wonderful restaurant with a view of the lagoon, you can watch a very beautiful sunset! The breakfast was modest, but there is enough!

    Pillows were very uncomfortable.

    Ideal for a night before or after a flight. We stayed here before our flight in the morning it’s around 7 minutes away from the airport via tuktuk. The host was nice and made us breakfast included in the price before our flight! The rooms okay.

    All in all it’s a good place to stay. I stayed there in total three nights but not in a row. I always came back to get first my mom, then my brother and then my boyfriend from the airport. The staff made it possible to keep our not needed suitcase(s) while we travel. This was really helpful!😍 Breakfast was prepared with love. Rooms are clean and beds have moskito nets and AC. I can recommend this place.

    Everything was great including the location and breakfast. However our bed had a broken plank which made the mattress sink on one corner and it was quite uncomfortable on our back.

    The aircon had a mind of its own but it wasn’t needed as the fan did the job.

    Lovely helpful owner. It was close to the airport and other transport links. Breakfast being included was a great bonus.
