    The view from the room is not really great sea view. And is located at the end of mirissa beach. Wifi was not working that well.

    Room space large, big balcony open area. Nice people and guest services. Large bathing area.

    Great location and view of you like it quiet with easy access to the beach.

    Nice spacious room, clean, good balcony with sea view. Location was good away from the overcrowded super turisty main beach yet in walkable diatance to Mirissa beach and 5min tuktuk ride to weligama. There js also small kust next to the property you can have for yourself - no waves so safe even for the small kids. Good breakfast included. Nice personnel wirh limited english but no issue. Good value for money.they dont have fridge in the room but two large fridges in the common area you can use.

    Super friendly family, very helpful and flexible. Breakfast was simple but tasty. Location is very good 15-20 min walk to the beach or the main road, very close to bus station. We used it to get to Weligama for surfing and also Galla. Room is classic guesthouse Sri Lanka room, very minimal with big balcony but unfortunately also minimal view of the sea. There is a very large building blocking most of the view but some rooms have better view. We stayed for 3 nights during new year eve so it was more pricey, but in normal days I think it’s worth the price- if you are comfortable with this guesthouses style. ! For hot water turn right and wait patiently (:

    Hmm a bed side table could have been nice, and there was some problems with the electricity sockets. Otherwise everything was good!

    The location is nice with a sea view from your bed. The bed is very comfortable, and the place is fresh and clean. The owner lady is very nice and helpful, and they arranged Airport transfer for a good price.

    Listen, I’m not going to moan about anything, cracking value for a great holiday.

    Loved it here. Family atmosphere run by a very attentive family. Nothing is too much trouble, for the money it is absolutely amazing. The rooms are big, and the 4 poster bed was comfortable. It’s a 2 minute walk to a lovely secluded beach. Highly recommended!!

    There is another building that is blocking the view of the beach. We asked for the WiFi password and it took the owners 5min to find it. 😅 You would think the WiFi password should be written on the wall somewhere to make it easier for guests. The owners have some dogs that are friendly but were barking in the night. The breakfast was okay, very simple. Mostly bread, fruit and eggs, no coconut roti or curry. The air-conditioner was acting a bit weird. Sometimes it would blow cold air, and sometimes it would blow room temperature air. No hot water in the showers.

    Nice big rooms and bathroom. Very clean. Close to a small beach that has less waves than the main beach so it is better for swimming and has a great sunset. Owners were very kind.

    Location is fine but not central, there is a beach just across the road though. Either way can’t complain at all for the price!

    Very clean and comfortable stay. For the cost per night the room is luxury. Excellent air conditioning and importantly good mosquito net.

    The only how to get to the beach was through another hostel

    The staff was very kind and friendly. I had amazing homemade srilanka food for breakfast and lunch. The room is spacious, comfortable bed, AC, sea view, WiFi works perfectly. I felt like I stayed with family, the staff really took care of me :)

    The smell was awful, the ‘sea view’ was absolutely not how displayed. The view is actually of some derelict buildings. The staff were unhelpful and didn’t even know we were coming. The air-con didn’t work and there were bugs in the bed, the toilet also smelt badly of urine.

    Not very much

    The place is a cosy Sri Lankan local guest house. The hosts are a nice family, they offered us tea when we arrived, and made great local breakfast with fruits. They also helped us find transfer to our next destination. Local shops, restaurants and beaches are in walking distance. By choosing this place, we feel like we could really contribute to a local business despite being a mainstream tourist.

    I wouldn’t recommend this property to anyone who needs reliable internet or any internet, really. During the day, it’s like the Wi-Fi packed up and left for a better life. Late at night, you might catch a fleeting glimpse of connectivity, but don’t get your hopes up it’s slower than trying to send an email via carrier pigeon. If you need to work while away, stay far, far away. Now, for the main event: the comedy of errors. I booked three nights here but decided to cut my losses after two because, well, no internet equals no point. Thinking I’d already paid through Booking.com, I didn’t bother telling the house sitter I was leaving early. What could possibly go wrong? A lot, apparently. About 10 minutes after I left, my phone started blowing up. Instead of a polite “Hey, just checking about the payment,” I got a full-blown accusation of theft. Yep, a fugitive on the run over a $100 AUD stay. Naturally, I turned the getaway car around, cash in hand, to resolve the issue. When I got there, things somehow got even weirder. As I tried to explain that I left early due to the lack of internet, the house sitter started accusing me of stealing while I was literally handing her the money. I couldn’t help but laugh partly because of the absurdity, and partly because I suspected she was just salty about losing the chance to double-book the room last minute. In all my travels including to some real hellholes. I’ve never encountered a situation quite like this. Avoid this place unless you enjoy the thrill of bad internet, baseless accusations, and high drama.

    Travelling with family .List includes but not limited to 1. We were given a room with ants crawling on bed. When complained said it's mistake of the "Indians" before us. She kept on said "you know, you know" , to which I had to say sternly "NO I DON'T" As you don't know all Sri Lankans how do you expect me to know all Indians ?? ( India is definitely bigger in size and stature to say the least 😁). 2. The chairs were old and broken too. When complained, again same story. 3. Finally room got changed to 2nd floor saying that can give oy one room. It's bathroom had a very bad smell, when asked didn't had any answer and just opened the window as there was no exhaust. 4. View is of a dumpster , an open drain which goes into sea and that's their beach. 5. They have made some settings , by which even if you search with breakfast included the price (exuberantly high) it confirms without breakfast only(another way of minting money it seems). When questioned, owner started to show bookings of other foreigners who are currently staying and willingly paying for breakfast and all. ( How can you show someone else's booking to someone? What about security & privacy?? Guess these things doesn't exist in their dictionary!!) 6. The owner lives on the ground floor and there is always a staunch smell from there, you didn't even feel like having a breakfast there. 7. The kitchen where the food is cooked is very dirty and smelly. 8. The room allotted to us was very shabby and no door lock, we have to literally use the keys even to latch the door from inside. 9. On top is that, self received a msg that "How did the lock of my room is not working ?" Seems either the owner are living in a fantasy world , as if they have 7 layers of security. There is only one shabby door with key lock and to keep it intact is more essential to me as my all stuff was inside the room.

    Nothing to like at this pathetic homestay.
