Everything was fine. The owners are a young, beautiful couple, very positive and pleasant to communicate with. Thank you very much! I hope that I will return to Merissa and live in your wonderful hotel again! Details: - the bed is comfortable, - the breakfasts are good, there are several options, - excellent location, away from the noisy main street of Mirissa and at the same time 5 minutes from the sea - beautiful area. We stayed at the hotel for 7 nights. The room was cleaned once, after about 5 days. It was comfortable option for us.

Friendliest woman of all time runs this accommodation. I can't recommend staying here enough. Smack dab in the middle of Mirissa, right across the street from the main beach, but the other breaks aren't too far away. The rooftop view of the place is beautiful and that is where you eat the best, locally made Sri-Lankan breakfast of all time. So much food and everything was soooooo good. Room was neat and large with a large, nice bathroom.

Ishan was superfriendly and welcoming. You´re staying with his parents which makes it a great homestay experience, she made us a delicious rice and curry with fish the father had caught that day. The hut is simple, but really nice, we didn´t need anything else. It´s 10 minutes from the beach so you don´t hear the pounding beats that much, although on Saturday night we did hear them (but I guess that´s everywhere in Mirissa). I would highly recommend!

Fantastic little place with incredible views. The owner and his family were very friendly and happy to help with any thing we wanted (eg kettle for room). The accommodation is modern and clean, great aircon, UK plug sockets. Pleasant breakfast, limited evening menu but the Sri Lankan curry is authentic and freshly cooked. The property is about 5 minutes walk to (not so) secret beach, with a couple of beach bars and restaurants .

    Everything. Large, clean room with strong AC. Great location, 15 minute walk away from the beach and all the restaurants in Mirissa, but still quiet at night. Staff were very generous and hospitable. Offered tea/coffee and homemade snacks upon arrival. Breakfast was included in the price, and was varied with each day was a different dish. Hosts were attentive, offering advice, laundry services, and any extras we needed. If we were to return to Mirissa, we would stay here again!

    A lovely guest house with a hostel vibe of community. Very clean, quiet and social enough without being noisy. The owner Jacko made such an effort making me feel welcome. He also puts on social events in the garden like film. night or football on the big screen, yoga classes and ice baths to bring people together. The room was a good size and the location was perfect. Near enough to the beach, and other places.

    The family running the hostel is really charming, always there and with an exceptional breakfast. Location is 10mins walking to the main beach and restaurants and the neighborhood is quiet and full of animals, and trees. Definitely if I come back to Mirissa I will stay in same place

    Very charming with all the nature around. The host was very friendly and catered to my gluten free needs for breakfast. Not far to walk to the beach. It is up a hill but very manageable to walk and felt safe at night. There are 2 yoga shalas on either side of the guest house. Monkeys and squirrels playing in the trees just outside.

    Room was clean and comfortable with great location. Host was really flexible and take care for us well,he helped to plan whale watching and surfing and suggested to pick us with tuk tuk and drop us there. Breakfast was delicious at the terrace with beautiful view to the garden. Wifi connection was stable. Where was no problem with hot water. This Guest House has a kitchen where you can cook if you would like to do it. If you need there is also oportunity to do laundry for a cheap price or do laundry by yourself.

    Great hostel - brilliant pool and chill out areas. When I was there it was very social with multiple travellers but obviously dependent on when you stay. Very close to the beach however in a great location so the hostel stays very quiet. Rooms are massive and all the beds have curtains and the toilets and showers and main spaces were cleaned everyday. Very quiet aircon and great storage space. Also nice kitchenette with multiple people cooking. Would really recommend!

    Guesthouse located in amazing place - close to the beach and at the same time on a quiet street. Rooms not big, but comfortable and cozy. The owners are very hospitable and kind, trying to help with all questions. The hostess is preparing very tasty breakfasts and lunch. You can rent a scooter, book an excursion - whale watching, also available laundry service. I recommend this lovely guest house to everyone.
