We liked that place was easy to reach, not very remote but feels very remote - by the small beach with no people around. It was easy to reach some restaurants by foot, so you won't be isolated. Ocean was very laud throughout the night - something to consider if you are a poor sleeper. Facilities are awesome, and pool is best way to cool down after a day of travel or spent at beach. Breakfast was one of the best we had in SriLanka - sweet rottis, srilankan omlette, fruit platter and wonderful coffee. Not to mention the view from breakfast hall. Wifi was poor, so don't come working here, but perfect for that social break and resting!

Booked 3 nights extended with 2. The rooms are big, clean and spacious. The bed is huge with a mosquito net, windows that open and such a spacious garden, washing machine that works and a small kitchen, what a place. Felt home from Holland. Really good! Excellent even. In the evening it's quiet, WiFi is good!

The room was very spacious. The family that runs the place was very helpful, and I got a good price on the whale watching tour through the hotel. Also I arrived in Mirissa a day earlier and they were very accommodating and gave me the room for an extra day.

Rusiru, his wife and children are the kindest people I met in all of Weligama. Whenever I needed a long term stay after my one week stay they immediately offered me a solution. Even though I didn't end up choosing their place, they helped me greatly with other things like laundry and even work. I highly recommend staying with them as they give you such a warm home away from home.

The family are delightful. So helpful and kind. The bed is comfortable, the room a little small for us but with plenty of storage. Very close to the beach. As it is off season, many of the restaurants were not operating, however, it was very easy and cheap to get a tuk tuk to restaurants. During peak season. There are many beach front restaurants to choose from. We had a beautiful Sri lankan breakfast cooked by our host, and good coffee.

best place to be! great location for those who want quiet, highly maintained accommodation at reasonable prices. the breakfast was amazing every day, was diverse and I think it was the best dishes and local food i have eaten in sri Lanka. the host family was super nice and even taught me how to make Sri Lankan food. the view is so beautiful and there is a beautiful garden where they bring the mangoes for breakfast. thank you so much

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.

Lovely small hotel with great hosts and staff. Stylish rooms, with best view towards the pool and beach. We even got to see some baby turtles being released to the ocean. The breakfast is really nice with all sorts of fruits, fresh pancakes and eggs however you like them. Located in quiet Batheegama, only a quick 10 min tuktuk ride to Hiriketiya.
