    Clean and well-maintained, the cabanas were a peaceful escape with beautiful wooden interiors, hygienic baths and good facilities. The caretaker Vidukshak is extremely helpful and it is merely five minutes walking from the beautiful Tangalle beach. Also, the dogs on the property are adorable!

    It was really cheap and the accomodation was luxury. The owner took care of everything and the wifi was awesome compared to other hotels in Sri Lanka. It is close to the beach and you have more than enough space in your room. It is the best accomodation I have ever been in Sri Lanka. Breakfast was delicious. Thanks for everything.

    The rooms during the day were super hot even with the fan!

    The proximity to the beach in a serene area of Tangalle added to the charm of our stay. The spacious rooms and the natural surroundings created a truly delightful atmosphere that we thoroughly enjoyed. It was a perfect blend of comfort and nature, making our experience truly memorable.

    Moskitos at night. The moskito net too short; you do need moskito coil. If there are high waves the beach is not ideal for swimming. The surf tends to be short and steep. Go to Dickwella for ideal waves.

    I had planned to stay 2 days and ended up staying 6. Eco stands for ecology, which means simple wooden huts in green surroundings near a lagoon, with exotic birds waking you up in the mornings, monkeys visiting, friendly stray dogs and moskitos. Eco stands more for economy here, so if you rent a scooter (2500 per day) you easily can make it the base for your explorations of this lovely part of Sri Lanka to do the following: - buy moskito coil in Tangalle - walk 6 km on a beautiful empty beach to Rekawa for sunrise - watch the small turtles come out of their eggs at 6 pm every day at the nearby turtle watch station - watch the big sea turtles come ashore late at night for hedging - rent a kayak nearby and explore the lagoon - have dinner with seaview or not at one of the nice nearby restaurants - visit Tangalle, Dickwella beach, Dondra Head Lighthouse and the Matara forts by scooter or TucTuc - visit Mulkirigala rock monastery by scooter or TucTuc - visit Tissamahawa and Kataragama temples if you don't .mind a longer scooter ride. Include Rajamaha Temples If you don't mind the dirt roads in the national park. The beach is a 5 minute walk away and you can hear the waves breaking from far. All in all for me it was a really lovely place with friendly staff. The longer I stayed the more I liked it.

    We had an awesome time at this place! The food was delicious and clean. The owner even helped us with transportation which was super nice. Our family, especially the kids totally loved the place and all the fun activities like turtle watching, boat rides and kayaking. It's a safe spot for the little ones Sending out a huge thanks to the owner and the incredible staff. You guys made our stay extra special!

    There were nighttime noises from roaming dogs that disturbed our sleep.

    Our stay at this hostel in Tangalle stands out as one of the best accommodations we've experienced in Sri Lanka. The hosts were incredibly helpful, addressing all our concerns and even guiding us to the nearby beach, just a short 5-minute walk away through another hotel complex. The room was excellent value for money – clean, spacious, and well-appointed. The small balcony provided a perfect spot to unwind, and inside, ample shelves made it easy to keep our belongings organized. A thoughtful touch was the mosquito net for each bed, ensuring a comfortable night's sleep. I highly recommend this hostel for a memorable and enjoyable stay in Tangalle.

    Very cozy cabanas with all the necessities, very close to the beach and beautiful surroundings . Extremely friendly hosts, we had a little problem with our cabana and they let us sleep in another cabana without hesitation. We also needed transport to Ella, the host provided us a car and drove us himself all the way to Ella. 100% recommend this accommodation.

    none.

    Besides the room we booked, they kindly let us use a spotless and well arranged kitchen with all the equipment. The beds were really comfy, giving us a great night's sleep. Got woken up by the delightful sounds of birds in the morning. The owner even arranged transportation facilities for us to explore Udawalawe national park. Thanks again for everything!

    It was a short scooter ride to get to the beach, but worth it when you got there. Huge quite beach with a couple of beach bars on it.

    Beautiful room, made entirely of wood. It was very cool at night which was perfect as power cuts meant no fan

    The location is too far from everything, so without a car or motorbike it’s a long way from accessing nice swimmable beaches or various places to eat. The beach nearby is beautiful but not if you enjoy swimming in the Ocean as it’s not swim friendly due to the strong waves. But this is not to reflect bad on the guesthouse, it is simply a fact of the location.

    Clean and very comfortable. Nice family. I appreciated that they upgraded my room for free as it was not busy, very kind of them. The beach is 5 mins away. Delicious Rice and Curry.

    The lighting of the room was a bit low and in case of having a lot of luggage, you should ask for a room on the ground floor

    The room was comfortable and clean , located in a beautiful garden. Each room had private balcony and mosquito net which helps a lot The owners are kind, and ready to help at any time The location regarding to the beach is really good

    The owners English isn’t too good, which makes communication always difficult.

    the property is only 100m from the beachfront. For what we’ve paid, this accommodation was absolutely fine! Their cabanas are lovely! It gets pretty hot in their and there is only a fan. Also: there is a lot of animals around (monkeys, squirrels, bats and so on). You definitely here them at night too.
