“A good budget stay”
We spent 5 days at Coconut Leaf Shadow Guest and were very happy with the location. It is about a 10 minute walk from the beautiful beach. There are lots of restaurants around so every night you can try out a different restaurant! Our room was very clean and to a high standard! We enjoyed our breakfasts at the restaurant too! The man serving at the restaurant helped us with transport and gave recommendations for snorkling! (I snorkled with DivingGuru- i’d totally recommend!) If you are wanting to save a bit of money, this place is a great value for what you get

“Nice and quiet place”
The staff at the restaurant and at the hotel were all very nice. They helped us arrange the transfer to our next destination. The room was in good conditions but, at least for me, the pillow was not that comfortable. Also, the bathroom was not that good, here in Sri Lanka is normal to have the shower with no separation to the rest of the bathroom and, on top of that, in the case of this hotel the toilet would get floded after each shower. But apart from those 2 little details everything else was good, reasonable price-quiality

Basic accommodation, therefore low price, but with all the things you need. Friendly hosts that you can ask for anything. Very stable internet to get some remote work done. Enough restaurants in the direct neighbourhood. The walk to the beach is very doable. The dogs leave you alone if you want to, but come for cuddles if you want them to.

“Beautiful place”
A lovely peaceful place just a 10 minute walk from the beach! The owner and staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful, everything was very clean and the room was just as described! Lots of restaurants are very close by, and if you let them know beforehand the owner can provide food at the property. We chose a room with a fan which is of course warmer than AC, however the fan is very effective and kept us cool all night. Highly recommend a stay here if you are travelling to Nilaveli!

“A welcoming place in Nilaveli”
A very decent room considering the price with a big enough bed and air conditioning. The owners are very welcoming and we decided to rent a scooter from them for our 2 days in Nilaveli and also use the laundry service which was very good! All in all a good place to stay in the area considering the budget.
