    45min delay for the car we booked through the hotel…

    I do feel the yoga should be included in the price as it feels like the main selling point of the property. The price felt a little steep otherwise as the property is lovely, although outside of the yoga room, the facilities are limited.

    The staff were friendly, the breakfast food was delicious, and the yoga room was absolutely beautiful with a mix of good teachers. If you're looking to go to the beach to surf and meet nice people, this is a great find.

    Breakfast was good but the portions not too big which was surprising in this country.

    The stay at the Jungle View was really nice, the room was comfy & our Yoga class was a 10/10! The staff was super friendly!

    The price is far too high for a place that is more like a room in a guest house, especially given the extensive construction work they are currently undertaking which were prominent in the view from our balcony.

    Located at the end of a winding lane a short walk to the beach but far enough to avoid the noise from Mirissa's busy road and crowded beaches. The breakfast was nice, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We saw some monkeys and squirrels, but this was no jungle

    We were looking for place with yoga class. We have got an information about yoga class in message on booking before our arrival. When we arrived host told us that is out of season and there is no yoga class. Secondly unfortunately last day we saw a couple really big cockroachs. It didn’t happen in another hotels in Sri Lanka.

    Possibility of choosing type of breakfast and localisation are awesome. Additionally it was only one place in Sri Lanka which offered us service room.

    I had a lovely stay at the jungle view! I enjoyed the daily yoga session and the healthy breakfast. The beach, restaurants and cafes are a very short walk away. The host is very friendly and offers a lot of local information about what to dining the area.

    The room booked was a triple with private balcony. The balcony is secluded but not private to the room. It was at the top of a set of stairs that accesses the room I booked and another room. Not a deal breaker but not exactly what I had expected from what was described in the booking.

    Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. Nice location away from the busy main road. Delicious food and drinks from the on site kitchen (8:30am - 5pm). Staff were helpful at arranging excursions and transport. The yoga studio was lovely and very welcoming.

    - Had to walk through another property to get to the accomodation with shirtless old man standing out the front the whole time? - Organised a transfer for 12pm but did not come until 2pm albeit our host was accomodating. He was either lying when he said ‘just another 20 mins’ for two hours or he is incompetent or deals with unprofessional contractors.

    - Yoga available - Good breakfast - View - Short walk to the beach

    The property is split into two on the road that it’s on which can be quite difficult to navigate

    We loved the location of this property, not on the main road but a 2 minute walk to everything. The room felt very clean and the facilities in the room were great. They have a lovely breakfast and also offer yoga class which we really enjoyed! Overall a really lovely stay!

    It's a detail, but if you want to spend some time in the room, as we did because we work remotely, the room does't have much natural light.

    We have to highlight the breakfast. We had a different option everyday and I can say I miss it already. Location is good. The family lives downstairs, which can be helpful if you need help with anything. Staff is super friendly and simple and gave us helpful tips for our stay in Mirissa.

    There was an aggressive dog belonging to the hotel that ran towards us one night barking loudly when we came in. I think they need to tie it up at night, as it was intimidating. It is a nice place to stay, but it was not good value for money. For 50 dollars a night, I expect a kettle, hairdryer and luggage rack, but we had none of these things in our room.

    Loved how spacious the room and balcony were. Breakfast was perfect, and staff were kind and helpful. The bathroom was large and had plenty of hot water. The bed was comfortable, and the view from the balcony was very nice.

    Me and my boyfriend love yoga and to be close and nature. I should’ve find that place much earlier….

    We got caught by rainy days and that location perfect. Room was spacious with private terrace. Felt hospitality from check in moment till final night. Yoga classes and sound healing was awesome. To be honest didn’t expect a lot after booking reviews but in my opinion that stay is wonderful. Also wanted to mention great restaurant with very warm service. Enjoyed my stay

    Please see above

    This is a tough review for me to write because the staff were all very kind and helpful, I can’t emphasise that enough. The location is good, off the main road near the beach front. The name is misleading. It’s far from rural and there’s no view to speak of, especially not of the jungle. When I got to the room it appeared clean and had everything I needed, I was very happy and for the first time on my trip fully unpacked. The first night I slept fine after a long day travelling. The second night I felt something crawl across my face as I was falling asleep. I couldn’t see anything but was that freaked out that I slept with the light on all night. On the third night I got back to the hotel and unfortunately had quite bad sunburn. I went to take a shower and there was a huge cockroach in the bathroom. There is no option to close the window since they installed metal bars to prevent this. Someone kindly came and removed it but I was really put off so locked the door from the outside and didn’t use the bathroom all night. Particularly painful since a cold shower may have helped cool my skin down. I settled down for the evening and then another cockroach crawled across my foot on the bed and got into my bag. Again someone came and kindly removed it. The next morning I got up, told myself I was being silly and went to use the bathroom. There was another cockroach on the floor which was removed. I brushed my teeth and thought I would turn the shower on before standing under it as a precaution. Thank god I did because as I turned the shower on three more cockroaches appeared and crawled along the wall. I decided to pack my things and leave and then spotted a fourth cockroach on the bathroom floor. When I packed the stuff in my room there was yet another cockroach in the bedroom. I appreciate it’s a tropical climate here but I have stayed in 15 hotels so far and not seen a single one.
