    It was the perfect stay for hour first day in Sri Lanka. They picked us up for a very small fee from the airport (we arrived quite early in the morning), the house was quite confortable and we had such a good traditional breakfast.

    Great place, air conditioning, hot water, basically, you can only get there by some kind of transport. Not a bad option for this money in this location.

    Great room and great Sri Lankan breakfast. The owners are really nice. It's a bit far away from the city, you need a tuktuk to move around, but you get a super nice room for a really good price.
