Slightly noisy due to the proximity of the road.

Amazing room! Really spacious. Nice balcony looking out onto Paddy fields. Nice and quiet AC unit. The bed was perfect. The host was really helpful and great communication the whole time.

Everything was perfect! The room was big, beautifully decorated and so comfortable. The views of the fields was gorgeous, so much wildlife to watch form the balcony. The best thing about Mango Shade is the hospitality from the owners. A young husband and wife who welcome you in to their home. The home cooked breakfast is amazing and well worth having. Thank you for having us!!!

The wifi could be a bit spotty but that was the only downside.

This stay was a amazing! We loved the location, perfectly in between all the places we wanted to see and not in a loud area. The views from the balcony were amazing and gave us access to some really sweet nature. The family is so sweet and made us feel very welcome. A/c worked great and so did hot water.

The place was clean and super comfortable. The family was welcoming and caring. Location is a bit far from Hiriketyia but with scooters it’s not a problem at all

Although very minor, the light(s) from the fuse box were illuminating the room.

We booked quite late, but this was no problem. We were welcomed by the friendly hostess, and she showed us the room. The room was spacious and clean.

We stayed here for three nights and would definetly come back again. Rooms are clean, big and theres a lot of natural light because of the large windows. Bed is super comfy and the staff is amazing. We really connected with Kaveesha and she and her family are really helpful and generous.

Of all the places we have stayed, this has been our favorite. It is a 5 minute walk from the beach and has a beautiful view. The owners helped us with information and good recommendations, the family is a 10. The breakfast is exquisite, fresh and made with love. You can also dine there, if you ask them. They are always available for a conversation and to help you with whatever you need. If I came back, I would stay there without a doubt.

Absolutely a 10/10 experience every time! I’ve stayed here three times now, and each visit has been better than the last. The place itself is cozy, impeccably clean, and has such a warm, welcoming atmosphere—it truly feels like a home away from home. But the real highlight is the host! Not only are they incredibly attentive and accommodating, but they also happen to be an amazing chef who genuinely loves cooking. They offer to cook meals for guests, and trust me, you do not want to pass up the chance! This is hands down one of the best stays I’ve ever experienced. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable and unique getaway!

I was looking for a long-term property to stay. Booked for 2 nights, and decided to stay here for 2 months. The room is clean, fresh and well furnished, the view is amazing. AC works well. Nice place to do sports/yoga or dry your clothes on the roof top. The kitchen is equipped with everything necessary. The hosts are very nice people as well. On my point of view, there is an extremely valuable property, so highly recommended. The only negative is weak Wi-Fi, but discussed with the host and found solution to improve the connection.

It is 10 min walk on the main road if you want to get to the beach or to a restaurant. But you can always take tuktuk if it bothers you.

I liked that the room was spacious and with enough light. The owner is super nice, she was preparing various Sri Lanka breakfast combos for us, the food was delicious. The best thing is that everyone can use the kitchen, keep food in the fridge, prepare tea… Although the accommodation is by the main road, it was not bothering, as balcony is oriented to the other side ( we stayed in the 1st floor), open to greenery.

Very nice place, we traveled 3 weeks through sri lanka, thus was the best place! 10/10 :)

Perfect stay: Lovely, well english-speaking host, clean and comfortable room, great bathroom, amazing breakfast. You can also park your bike at this place. We felt very welcomed and would come again.

The first thing that we liked when we arrived was the hospitality of the host. She was super nice and friendly. Everything is clean and comfortable. The bed is one of the best that I slept in. Very good place to rest after a long day of surfing and exploring Sri Lanka. The owner can make your meals and trust me she is the best cook. We felt like home! All recommendations that I can give!

Everything perfectly prepared! Super clean and fresh!

The only thing we didn’t like was there was flies and we should have agreed prices before racking up a huge bill.

Kaveesha and her mother were excellent hosts, warm, welcoming and super friendly. It was like being back home with my aunties, as soon as we arrived we felt comfortable. They went shopping for us, cooked for us, did our washing and even got someone to fix our tuk tuk. The location was great and we were able to get to so many beaches within a few minutes. We really recommend pehembiya beach which was a 6 minute drive.

This place is amazing! Everything is new and clean. The rooms are big, with AC and the beds are super comfortable. The place is just a 10min ride to the beach (Hirekitiya and Dickewella). I’m sure this is still a hidden gem. Also, the owner is amazing, she helped us with everything we needed, renting a bike, laundry, finding transportation, etc.

The hosts are exceptional and the place is very clean! The view from the room on the jungle is magnificent. 5 min from hiriketiya ;) Thank you for everything!
