I stayed for two nights then returned a few days later for 3 more. Very comfortable stay!

Very warm family, welcoming and helpful, good location near the bus station and with plenty shops, restaurants and beaches around. Clean dorm with huge beds, it gets hot but there's a strong fan and also it's Sri Lanka so obviously hot. The family also run an on site restaurant, food is very nice and reasonable prices.

Great little place to stay

Great stay! Hosts were very welcoming and it was a nice restaurant for meals throughout the day! The rooms were decent with large single beds and good sized and clean bathroom. There were 3 rooms on 1 floor of all girls so it was a nice space and plenty of areas for socialising! The WiFi was also excellent which isn’t often in Sri Lanka!! Also plug sockets next to the bed!

Lovely stay!

The lady of the house is wonderful, so sweet and careful. You can also count on her husband for Tuktuk drive or so. The food which you can as well eat in the restaurant Lankan Delight has the best flavors at an affordable price!

Located just off main road, a 10minute walk to the bus station and a 5 minute walk to the beach this hotel/hostel is perfect for a relaxed stay in Tangalle. The dorm room is 3 big beds with mosquito nets and ceiling fan. The family that run this place are so friendly and make the most incredible and well priced food!

I was staying as a hostel guest but the room was fully available just for me, it was a really welcoming and amazing stay in Tangalle since, the hospitality of the family is really great. They are also preparing very tasty Sri Lankan food for lunch , dinner and breakfast. I fell in love with Tangalle thanks to this place :)
