    Lovely hosts, great location, excellent value for money

    In fairness, we arrived fairly late in the evening, and went out for Whale Watching at 6am, so our stay was brief – but delightful! The hosts were friendly and very nice (they keep fish – great vibes). Short walking distance from the harbour and town, with good food spots nearby as well. Felt very safe walking around, met some friendly locals nearby, etc etc. Excellent value for money!

    Perfect location, 2min walk from the beach & Mini market. Basic room with everything needed for a decent sleep, & a good shower after a day at the beach. The staff was super friendly and helpful, and the compound itself neat, clean, and with enough shade to hang around when it's too outside everywhere else.

    Very close to the beach, conveniently located near a lot of restaurants and cafes, yet a peaceful location. We had 3 rooms, but they were all in 3 different sections of the property - two were in the main area which was fine, but one was in a different building on the inside. The rooms were all good, comfortable beds and mosquito nets (didn't have to use them though). The AC worked well. They have a common kitchen too, but we didn't use it.

    Quite value for money. A 0.5 miles walk from the main mirisa beach. Just have to be careful of the mosquitoes, so better keep a repellant or cream.

    Beautiful place to relax, I stayed in a room with its own balcony, I really felt at home. Very quiet and comfortable space, terrace and balcony to the palm trees, kitchen and fridge, everything you need for your stay half a block from the beach. I spent 3 weeks here working and enjoyed it very much, I would definitely come back. Saman the owner is a sweetheart, super attentive and friendly, always willing to help you with anything you need, he took me to the bus stop with my bags. I highly recommend it! thank you!

    Mattress was a little thin which meant we could feel the springs through it. One of the mosquito nets on the windows was broken and the door had a crack in it

    Perfect location in terms of the town and the beach. Staff were very welcoming and helped massively for laundry services. There were also a kitchen with basic things if needed

    They weren't serving breakfast when I was staying so I moved to the neighbouring place Margosa, which was serving breakfast and was anyway a little more comfortable. There were plenty of mozzies there too!

    Friendly staff. The room was fine. Basic but clean. Plenty of mozzies.

    Close to the beach and away from the main road, There are more rooms, so you can be disturbed by other guests, but after 10 pm it was quiet there. Only problems for me was too much mosquitos despite the net . Maybe sum electronic mosquito repellent would help

    If we were to visit again we would book a room with A/C. We had a fan, but we struggled to cool the room down at night. We had a mosquito net on the bed, but maybe if there were also mosquito nets on the windows then we could have opened them at night to cool down.

    The location was fantastic; close to Mirissa main road which was convenient for travelling up and down the coast, and also very close to Mirissa beach. Turtle bay was a short walk along the beach. The staff were great and very accommodating. They provided good recommendations for taxis and restaurants. The room was basic but had everything we needed for our visit.
