We were beyond happy that we got to stay in Madiha Surf Lodge. This place was beautiful and with such a friendly owners & staff! Our room was so beautiful and clean. The brakfast/seating area was so cosy and beautiful and the accommodation was located only few steps from the most amazing beach with breathtaking sunset spot(short private road to the beach). We are vegan & they met our needs and prepared us tastiest breakfast (It was even better than food from restourants haha) So couldn't be more happy! Thank you so much and we will for sure return! It was hard to leave :)

We had a wonderful stay! Comfortable and clean room. The owner is super nice and helpful with everything. Delicious and very filling breakfast. The location is right out to a beachbreak surfspot, and there is a surf rental right next to the hotel. We ordered dinner both days at the hotel and it was delicious. I can only recommend Ocean Breeze Villa!

We had a truly lovely stay at Nomads Hideaway. The villa is peaceful, beautifully designed, and surrounded by greenery, giving it a calm, tucked-away feeling. It’s clear that a lot of thought and care went into creating this space—from the natural materials to the cozy layout and relaxing garden nook. The hosts were kind, welcoming, and available when needed, which made everything feel easy and relaxed. Although it’s just a short distance from Matara and the beach, the villa feels like a quiet sanctuary—ideal for resting, reading, or simply being present. We only stayed for two nights but felt deeply nourished by the experience. We’d happily return for a longer stay next time. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful and soulful place to recharge.

We loved our stay at Bienvenido. The owners and staff were so friendly and helpful... even cheerfully making up our room every day, as requested (I am on holiday, so it's nice to have someone else make my bed) I understand it's not normal practice on SL. My husband loved the Sri Lanka breakfast. And I loved their swimming pool.

I really enjoyed my time at Beach Inns Holiday Resort. The guesthouse is located beside a beautiful beach in a peaceful area away from the busy main road. The large seaside terrace is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the scenery, with the palm trees offering welcome shade during the heat of the day. My room was clean and spacious and the management and staff were very helpful and friendly. I would definitely stay here again.

Madu and her family are some of the nicest people you will meet in Sri Lanka. They want you to have the best days of your holiday and will help you with everything you ask. It is really close to the surfspot, and there are nice restaurants around. We stayed here twice and would love to come back!

Emanuela and Tharin is just amazing hosts that really make you feel like home in their beautiful accommodation. We stayed for 4 nights and this was one of our favorite spots during our Sri Lanka journey, a lot thanks to our stay at Casa Tharin. Besides from their hospitality they offer a fantastic breakfast (and coffee!!), a lovely terrace and comfortable rooms. We would definitely come back here and recommend everyone to stay here.

I stayed one night in a private room which was very clean and nice. Also the bathroom and the whole accommodation was very clean and good. It’s right in front of the railway station which is perfect if you need to take a train. The hosts are very friendly and polite. If I had any questions I could contact them at any time.
