“Highlight of my trip”
I loved everything about my stay. The room was beautiful, spotless, and I especially appreciated the ceiling fan, super convenient, I could always charge my phone with no problem! The location was perfect too. But most of all… the people. I met Janu and her father-in-law, truly amazing people, so pure and kind. Janu and I talked for hours; it felt like chatting with an old friend. I learned so much about Sri Lanka, the culture, and life there. She’s a dancer and creates beautiful costumes, which she even let me try on! Food available, so so cheap, and really good! Honestly, the best place of my entire trip. Don’t even hesitate, just go! ❤️

Lovely spot, chap who runs the place is incredibly nice and helpful. Great as a slightly more budget option and in an excellent location 2 mins walk from coconut beach. Recommended.

“Do not recommend. My stay was horrible. Thanks God that i booked it just for two day.”
Only location is good. The rest is really really poor. Water in shower didnt work. Locking the doors was the mission for 10minutes and always needed help of a landlord.

“Really nice people but please turn off that clock!”
The owners are lovely people, especially the man in charge and tries to help as much as possible. The location is awesome. For the price it’s hard to find anything better.

“Cheap, cheerful, not too comfortable”
The owner was very friendly and always looking out for you. The location was great, right near a lovely beach spot called coconut which is one of the best places for a beer or coconut in the evenings to watch the surfers. This place was exceptionally cheap. Nice breakfast which you can have out on the front terrace. Mosquito net for the bed.
