    The location was great. Close walk to the secret beach, whale watching, turtle bay and great restaurants. The host was amazing, couldn’t be more flexible with check in check out. Breakfast was exceptional with a lovely view into the Forrest, we sat and enjoyed watching squirrels, peacocks and parrots in the trees each morning. Price was extremely reasonable for such a clean and comfortable room with AC. Couldn’t recommend it enough!

    Everything about the property and owners was great. Only thing to note is if you are coming back at night, it is located down an unlit driveway surrounded by trees so bring a torch!

    Sethun house is a gem of a guesthouse. It's situated in a peaceful setting and the rooms are immaculate. Breakfast was delicious and eating it on the little balcony each morning was a lovely start to the day.

    The only suggestion would be extra pillows or cushions on the bed to make it more comfortable.

    Perfect, friendly and responsive host and family. Delicious breakfast on the balcony, different each day. Great location, a few minutes walk from the beach and the town. Air conditioning worked well and cupboard lockable for valuables. Mosquito net worked well. Cold shower with additional shower for hot water.

    Not much, nothing I didn't expect with this very fair price!

    Perfectly located within walking distance of everything yet on a quiet side street. Owner is super friendly and very helpful. It gets very humid but room has a functional AC even though it's a bit old.

    Nothing

    This was our third stay at Sethun house. It is situated on a quiet road within a few mins walk to the beach or town centre. Great location.This is run by a lovely, very welcoming family. Comfortable bed; hot shower; fridge outside the room and 2 balconies to use in the room we stayed in. Very nice breakfasts too..excellent value for money. We would recommend it and will hopefully stay again.

    The woman running this property and her children were super sweet and made us feel welcome. Great location on quiet side street, but only short walks to main commerce area and beaches of Mirissa. Breakfast included was delicious.

    We stayed 3 nigthts and loved it! Really comfy family room, spotlessly clean, plenty of space. There was good aircon, mosquito nets, and fan and a well functioning fridge too. All the facilities were brilliant. breakfast overlooking the green trees, on the balcony was delicious. The family were all very warm and welcoming and helped us with everything. It's also very close to the local Dagoba. Also should say it's 5 minutes walk from the beach! we would highly recommend Sethun House!

    This is more just info: Rooms are not huge but it's due to the big 4 poster beds with great net coverage, which are super comfy...luggage can fit under the big bed

    Local family run, like a homestay Whilst the balcony is small, you have access to a communal area & balcony for breakfast amd also fridge, kettle The family look after you and you only need to ask if you need their help with things like laundry, trips etc Located close to the main road and beach, may need your phone/torch for the little alley to their place. You'll likely hear and see the frogs at night and if you're lucky the big monitor lizards in the day

    The hosts were incredibly friendly and accommodating. The room has a lovely terrace with lots of green and amazing view into the valley. Also very fun is to watch the trains passing by! I very much enjoyed my stay and would come again any time. The location is also very convenient. It's only 10 minutes to the city center by foot

    Hot water in shower could have better pressure.

    Quiet place! but still a walking distance to the beach and to the harbor from where whale watching tours start in the morning. Clean room and bathroom, AC and a fan, mosquito net. Nice breakfast. All you need for a good night sleep.
