    Perfect for a short whale watching stay over, probably wouldn’t stay longer than that.

    The staff were extremely helpful and were reachable at any given point of time during our stay . The room was so clean and spacious . The most wonderful thing about Kismet is that it's very close to the beaches (including secret beach) . The breakfast was nice as well.

    The bathroom was smelling badly but that was only due to very heavy rainfall everywhere and got cleaned up very quickly by one of the staff.

    It is a very nice and quiet place and very close to the beach. Johann and his mother are very friendly people and helped me out when my card didn't work.

    Was pretty unorganised. They let us book a room that was not even finished. It was full with mold. Luckily we where a bigger group so we could go together in rooms but one of us need to sleep on the floor on a mattress

    Helpful stuff. Comfortable beds and not far from shops or the beach

    Mosquitos were everywhere near dining hall and terrace, but this may be a problem in whole Mirissa.

    Great location, walking distance to the beach and very large rooms. Our host Johan was very attentive and helpful.

    When ordering food there is some waiting, so you should have time to order and wait. If you are planning to go out in the morning, tell the staff the evening before at what time you want breakfast.

    This Hostel/rest/guesthouse is owned and run by a very nice Sri Lankan family! They are super welcoming and helpful. They gave many tips and were always available. There were also local workers who were really nice. The room was big and clean with AC. There are not so many rooms, so it’s a calm and quiet place. Not very social with other guests, but we spent a lot of time with one of the hosts, Johan. The breakfast was included and very nice! We even got a juice:) Also good location in Merissa. Close to everything we needed.

    Breakfast was very simple but ok (toast with butter and jam and egg), the AC is directed towards the bed and we couldn’t control it’s swing, there were long power cuts in whole of Mirissa during our stay where just a candle would have been an extra service.

    The staff is really nice, especially Johan goes above and beyond to attend to your needs. Room was very spacious.

    The dashed excitement if the many plus in the room and only the bathroom one working. Maybe my adaptor is no good I am not sure.

    Friendly family running place, room is spacious and comfortable. Outdoor area is very nicely kept. Location is very good close to everything in Mirissa.

    Breakfast did take a long time, it was simply toast, fried and a sausage. And the water shut off a few times. These were the only issues.

    The size of the room and bed. And air con. Nice areas to lounge. Staff and owners were happy to help and I felt comfortable around them.
