    Nothing about complains. But let them know about your check in time properly We got late to check in, but they welcome properly in midnight also.

    Good option for the budget travellers Very close to the beach Just 5Mins walk enough to passikudah beach Good for the children 8Mins walk enough to the kalkudah beach has rough waves not suits for swim Has a grocery shop front good enough. Staffs super friendly, ready to help every time. And they have some cabana rooms also little expensive and busy every day.

    WiFi didn’t reach the room No mosquito net and had an open window in the bathroom Bathroom needed a proper clean Wasn’t sure who worked there and who didn’t to ask when we had questions Feel like we were put in a weird room in a building which didn’t look finished, most quests stayed in little bungalows

    Good location inbetween the two beaches, person checking us in told us how to get there. Okay for a night

    They have very simple bungalows but also brand new ones with nice beds and AC. We took that upgrade and were super happy about it!

    It was relatively clean, but when I see spiderwebs on the walls and under the desk it could use a quick sweep. Plumbing was not the best, but the shower was fine.

    Stayed in the budget/basic room and it was just that…very basic. The host was super kind and helpful. There was a bicycle that I was allowed to use and that was wonderful to ride around. Location was excellent and for the price I have no complaints, just constructive feedback.

    The beds were really hard and lots of mosquitos came in through the bathroom.

    Nice location, very close to the beach. The owner is very friendly and it's close to a grocery store. For one or two days okay.

    The bath was a bit dirty and there was no mosquito net in our room. But in other rooms there was one.

    Very kindly host. Nice restaurant. We ate both evenigs very good dinner with fresh fish and prawns. We can truely recommand this homestay. Perfect location between Passikudah and Kalkudah Beach. Short walk to both.

    Room was very hot, however there was a large ceiling fan in the room so they have done all they can without adding AC. The fan didn’t much combat the intense heat in there however. The large bedroom window is permanently open slats with thin curtains covering so there’s no privacy.

    Excellent location- 2 minute walk to stunning Passikudah beach. Convenience shop next door to get snacks, drinks etc. The budget double room stay was excellent value for money. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Lovely fish dinner in the restaurant. Location was quiet and relaxing.

    This place needs development in the future, but it has great potential. Maybe they need to clean corners of the plot because sometimes they look a bit messy. Anyway, the place meets our expectations, and cabanas even exceeded them.

    Very cosy and natural place where you can get a good comfort for little money. It is very close to both Kalkudah and Passikuda beaches; we prefered Kalkudah beach because it was clean, natural, and not crowded, unlike Passikuda. There is a fruit aurvedic garden with papaya, bananas where one can see monkeys sometimes. Cabanas are comfortable and nice. Arun is very hospitable, he provided meals for our hamsters. They cooked very tasty dinners.

    No mosquito net. Difficulty sleeping despite the fan being on. Room was stuffy and a little run down but for the price paid i couldn’t expect too much.

    The location if you like to be close to the ocean. Staff were polite and helpful. The manger/owner tried to reimburse me part of the rent due to mosquito problem. Which I thought was very considerate and showed concern for the issue.
