This was hands down the best place we stayed in Sri Lanka during our 10 day trip around the island. THE most stunning location. Wonderful hosts, who have the perfect balance of friendly and attentive but leaving us space. We ate an evening meal cooked at the property and it really was beyond our expectations. Breakfast was also delicious and plentiful. I really wish we could've stayed for a few nights. Actually I really wish I could just live there forever! - paradise :)

We had a lovely room overlooking the small garden and long beach. A great position. The beach was ideal for walking and the surf perfect for beginners upwards. The breakfast was terrific , the staff super friendly and facilities on point.

I stayed here for two nights and had a truly pleasant and peaceful experience 😊. The property is clean 🧼, and the room was spacious and comfortable 🛏️. I was especially impressed by the beautifully designed bathroom 🚿✨. The location is also very convenient—just a short walk from Matara Railway Station 🚉. What truly made the stay exceptional was the hospitality of the hosts 🤗. The aunty and uncle who live next door are incredibly kind and always ready to help with a warm smile 🧓👵❤️. Their genuine care made me feel right at home 🏠. If you're visiting Sri Lanka 🇱🇰, especially the Matara area, I highly recommend staying here 🌟. Thank you for a wonderful experience! 🙏 धन्यवाद

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.
