We had a double private room which was pretty comfortable with a big fan and a bit far from the dorms and the common area! Which is good if you want to relax but you are not so included in the group of the rest of the travellers! However the host providing information of everything about food and events around Shiah is really nice.

I stayed in this home for three nights. It was an amazing experience. The home is owned by a beatiful family. The house is a classic sri lankan home, you have a garden you can use. Rooms are super comfortable. Everything is so clean and prepared for the guests. There is a kitchen you can use and they have filtered water for the guests. Just few steps away you have beatiful nillwella island and hiriketiya beach. The neighbourhood is so great, you can socialize with local people who are so friendly. If you want to experience real sri lanka, come to muru's place. Plus, they will make you the best sri lankan breakfast with outstanding coconunt symbol, and the dinner is out of this world. I know I will be coming back.

Great location across the street from the beach, lots of shops and restaurants at your doorstep. Doesn’t offer breakfast but a really nice locally run restaurant just at the gates which we went to every morning, delicious food and friendly staff. Large, clean too with AC and fan. Budget friendly.
Highly recommend this hostel,it was the best hostel I had stayed in Sri Lanka.The pricing maybe a bit higher for hostel but the facilities speak for it.Kitchen is also open.Everything you need to explore, restaurants, groceries are walkable.Also host gives you a map on check in which has all the details you need to make your stay comfortable.The ac dorms were very comfortable n had 2 shower rooms also. It was clean n there were cute cats at the hostel.You can checkout n keep your luggage in locker room n explore too..
We moved here from another property within Mirissa that wasn’t what it was advertised - the owner was able to accommodate us at short notice, great location walking distance to all of the main cafes/restaurants, near to our favourite (Junction Cafe and Gedara Curry). Really clean, excellent air con and quiet at night (road fairly busy until 7-8pm but not much after this) We booked into the budget double room which didn’t have a fridge, but staff were more than happy to let us use fridge over the road in the kitchen
Clean, friendly people, good to sleep(air-conditioning in the dorms) nature all around. Kitchen to cook. Cheap! Hands down the best value for money of any hostel I stayed at in 6 months in Sri Lanka. I stayed at Abinu's years ago, came back now and will be back next trip. Nearby the beach and shops, very recommended
Great location, very helpful friendly staff, nice break from hostels and fab facilities. Enjoyed the balcony and fridge and huge bed and tv
Best Hostel in Srilanka. Mattress were comfortable/best.
Hostel is not well known yet, but it’s clean and has a good atmosphere. One of the best hostels I stayed in Sri Lanka.
I had a lovely time at kings happy house! The owner was so incredibly kind and helpful. As the hostel is quite new, he was always very open and grateful for feedback and suggestions for improvement. He alway made sure I’m safe and well taken care of wich was quite nice and soothing as a solo traveller. He also helped me with organising any trips I wanted to go on. A person who runs his hostel with heart and soul and wants to make sure you have a good time there.
This homestay is perfect if you are looking to stay in a private room but still want to save money. It is very basic but it has everything you would need and a great location. If you are a traveler on a budget I would definitely recommend this place as it is the same price as a hostel but you can get more privacy and don’t have to sleep in a dorm…
