    During the night there is a bit of noise.

    Beautiful location with direct access to the beach, next to coconut hill. The room had a big balcony and a big bathroom. The owner was really kind!

    The bed was not the most comfortable.

    The location is great, just a few steps from the beach and coconut tree hill. The family is welcoming and super nice and they help organize the transportation to our next destination.

    As simple as the house is, it has a cozy vibe, being less than 50 steps from the beach and just on the main road to catch the bus or walk to explore Mirissa. The host family are amazing ♥️ I stayed here in January 2023 and came back. I was welcomed as one of the family and Mr Sunray offered me a welcome back gift. The breakfast is freshly prepared every morning, the room was clean, spacious and had a desk for me to work online.. Can't wait to be back 🙏😍

    It was extremely hot and hard to sleep - please do consider installing AC units in some rooms!! We would happily pay double and more for more comfort.

    The location is unbeatable! Value for money 100/100 The view from our room was amazing and we had a good time. The host family was super helpful, they seem like the nicest people ever. I’d gladly stay again. FYI the building is still under construction as they add new floors and rooms. We didn’t see any workers, there was no noise and the construction site didn’t bother us at all!!! But please adjust your expectations

    The property could do with some overall cleaning up. There were layers of dust and cobwebs in plenty of areas, both in the room and in the communal area.

    The view from the balcony. Breakfast was great. Location was very convenient.

    We had an amazing experience with the friendliest host family imaginable :). The simple but just right equipped rooms look just like in the pictures. The homestay is situated on a beautiful little beach with direct few on the neighboring coconut tree hill. You can swim and snorkel and we saw turtles while snorkeling and from the beach. Mirissa beach is a nice 15 min walk on the beach or a short Tuktuk drive away. We hardly went there, because the lovely little beach with its fisher boots was much better for us. Many restaurants in short walking distance. The breakfast is very good, with a special something every day. The host family is just great and so helpful and friendly. We learned a lot from them. Our daughters (6 and9) liked them very much. If we ever come back to Sri Lanka, we are sure to come again. Thank you very much!

    I was overall happy with my stay.

    The family were most welcoming, kind hearted and accommodating. Rooms were very clean and the view of the ocean from the balcony was nice. Breakfast was very good and served in a communal area, giving the opportunity to meet others. Next to turtle Beach, close to Mirissa Beach and a bus stop is close by. Quiet at night time and able to get a peaceful sleep.
