    The room is nice and there is a very spacious balcony as well. The food at Sun Rest was very good and they also have a surfschool and surf rental. The hosts were really nice and caring and when I had a fever they were always ready to help! Also you can get to the beach in 2 minutes which was very nice!

    Basic but very comfortable rooms with designated outdoor space. Amazing staff and amazing coffee and juice in the morning. Quiet location but very close to centre. AC in the room made our stay even better. Overall, great value for money.

    Our next door neighbours put their wet clothes on our balcony the first night, but obviously that's not the hotel's fault.

    The staff were nice, and the food was really good too (for a good price)

    Great value quiet little place by the beach

    Only negative thing is the bed wasn’t that comfortable and made a squeak sound which kept me awake but that could have just been my room. Also it would have been good to have a kettle in the room so I didn’t have to keep asking the hosts for hot water.

    Great location super close to the beach but tucked away in a nice quiet spot. Very friendly and helpful hosts who can help arrange transport. The hosts can also cook for you which I didn’t have any food but is handy to know it’s there. Clean tidy rooms with the option of a/c or non a/c. Overall great little place and good value for money.

    All good

    We had an amazing stay at Sunrest. Kamari and her family were so lovely and helpful. You should really try the Sri Lankan breakfast there, home-made and very delicious and nutritious. The rooms were very clean and pretty, the location was absolutely perfect, few steps from the beach. Absolutely all pros and no cons. Highly recommend. We will definitely be back!

    When we ordered breakfast some of it was ready (egg hoppers) before the agreed on time so had gone luke warm. Was still delicious and very generous serving and options though.

    The host was lovely and very welcoming. The location was close to the beach and some nice restaurants (I can recommend Oh La La, it's a bit expensive by Sri Lankian standard but most things are in Mirissa or Dhana's Curry Pot which is a bit more of a walk along the beach, is cheaper, simpler but delicious). Also a nice stroll along to beach to Parrot rock and a bit further on Coconut Hill.

    Nothing money well spent

    I liked this place a lot, the room was basic, that’s what I paid for, nice bed, aircon hot shower, and quiet, nice garden with eating area, always someone there to chat to, breakfast at a good price, and it’s a 1 minute to the beach

    My room only had a fan. I knew it and chose the room. But it had no ventilation so it remained hot even with fan. My mistake. Would pay more next time and get one of rooms with a/c

    Very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent location. Very inexpensive

    Upstairs rooms get very hot during the day, difficult to cool down with the fan only. Average breakfast which you can find better for the same price at outside independent restaurants.

    Very friendly and welcoming host family. Nice small guesthouse very near to the beach but still very quiet at night. Big room with comfortable bed, clean bathroom with cold and hot shower. Nice balcony. AC available on request.

    İt would be better if there is fridge in upstairs also. There is not kettle in room also. Thats is why dor drinking water or tea you should go down to downstairs and should pay for water or tea. towels are now new enough.

    The locatipn is very good, near to the main road and Mirissa beach. Host is very friemdly. Room is large and comfortable

    Kumari and Samantha are the best hosts you can imagine, always a smile on their face and whenever you need something they are happy to help, if surfboards, tours, taxis and tuktuks. We really enjoyed the big and healthy Sri Lankan breakfast. Also this accommodation is just 50m away from the beach and all beach bars and restaurants. If you are looking for a great Sri Lankan experience, please pay them a visit. Book fast, because there are not many rooms and they tend to be booked very fast for a very good reason! Thanks to my Sri Lankan family!
