    Good value, good breaky

    Low season and almost all restaurants were closed. The staff from this villa were available to make food through and actually it was pretty decent.

    Fairly pleasant place with friendly staff. Very big and good breakfast. Very close to the beach. The seas were too high to use it when I was there though so no swimming was possible. The room I stayed in was up a hill a little way via an unsealed path, probably not good if you're unsteady on your feet. The other rooms were closer to the road.

    There is absolutely nothing that we didn’t like there.

    Great place with an amazing location! Just 2 min away from one of the most beautiful beaches in Sri Lanka ( Silent Beach). Nice and friendly host family as well as all other locals - we spent amazing 5 nights there! Cosy, clean rooms and some of the best food that we had during our trip in Sri Lanka. We are definitely looking forward to visiting again!!

    The room is small and no place to unpack cloths, but we took the smallest room - so we got what we payed for. If you want to stay longer - just opt for a bigger option.

    Perfect location near the Silaent Beach, 5 min walk, quiet. Owners are very friendly and accommodating people. It's a perfect place to have a present stay and support the local community. It's possible to have a meal there and the food is delicious,.

    Nice accommodation close to fantastic beach

    The room was a bit dark and moist, and can be a bit warm since there was only fans, not AC in the family room. The hotels sunbeds at the beach are not actually included but instead are paid (although discounted) for at the beach every day

    Although not beach front, it is one of the closest places to Silent Beach if you dont count the large luxury hotel at the beach. The people working here are extremely kind and helpful! They helped us organize a nice kayak trip at the nearby lagoon and we had our best meal in our whole Sri Lanka trip in their small restaurant.

    Small rooms and no AC, and it got really really hot at night. One of the fans was not working properly.

    Very close to the stunning beach. We stayed up the hill at the premises where it was very quiet but fun with monkeys and peacocks. Access to new kitchen facility (for extra payment). Very cosy with plants, two rooms and terasses.

    The path to the bungalow became slippery after the rain.

    Clean and well equiped rooms with nice veranda at the front. A lot of different wild animals coming very close. We admired the peacocks, monkeys, squirrels and colourful birds around. Just about 2 minutes walk to the silent beach. Very nice and helpful staff and delicious cuisine prepared by the owner family.

    Nothing

    Delicious home-style cooking, great location and the friendliest, most hospitable hosts. Milton catered for us on their included daybeds at the beach and the family helped us immensely to visit surrounding sites and transport to our next location. The rooms were clean and well equipped with good WIFI. The restaurant area was cosy and vibrant. Marisi’s cooking was some of the best we had in Sri Lanka and the quality of their food is of much better standard than other restaurants in the area. The hosts were also really attentive to any of our requests. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend Thatched Villa to anyone visiting the Tangalle region.

    Nothing to say

    The cabanas are separated from the restaurant and the road which make the place so quiet and surrounded by nature you can wake up with the sound of birds. The beds were comfortable, clean and tidy. Nothing fancy but cosy and cheap considering being located near one of the most beautiful beaches in the south.

    Maybe a bit pricier than similar places in Sri Lanka, but absolutely worth the price.

    This place is a hidden gem, located close to a wonderful beach. The hosts dont speak much English but are very kind and would even serve our lunch at the beach. The rooms are simple but clean. The shower even had hot water and good water pressure. The bed was comfy. Our room had aircon, which was perfect as the weather got really hot during our stay. We loved the breakfast and the fresh juices. The fish we had for dinner was amazing, too.

    Got no complaints.

    The host Pramesh and his sister was super friendly, he showed me to a snorkeling spot and gave me equipment free of charge as well as showed me around the city with motorbike and took me to the super market. My stay has been above my expectations and they have really made it special. Not a lot of restaurants in the area, the food provided here by his siter has been the best highly recommend the Avocado and Prawn salad it was one of the best I've had on the island. Location is just a minute away from one of the most quiet and beautiful white sand beaches in Sri Lanka with coral reef and natural pools. An unexpected jewel. Looking forward to come back.

    When we arrived we got a refreshing pineapple juice. The way to the rooms are pretty steep and uneven. The rooms are small and hot at night but that didn't bother us because of the fan. The rooms were tidy. Owners were nice. You only walk two minutes to secret beach.

    I think there might have been some animals feces on the bed once. Not sure tho and I couldn’t see or hear any mice so I let it slip :) I‘d recommend this place - it’s very close to the beach and in a quiet area!

    The room is very basic but has everything needed. The staff was honestly super friendly. I lost my key and they organized a new one and even gave me a ride once. The bed is comfy and the bathroom clean.

    Wifi could be better, but not the worst we had in Sri Lanka 😉

    The young family that runs the establishment was absolutely charming! They keep their place nice and tidy, and cook great srilankan food ! The private access to Silent Beach, with service (drinks and meals) served directly on the sunbeds were greatly appreciated. Absolutely recommend !

    The bungalow is a 2min walk from the most beautiful beach, Silent beach. Quiet, gorgeous beach. Super clear water, you can see many fish. Hard to beat. Exactly what we were looking for after spending 3 days in Mirissa. And the sun beds are included in your stay, which is extra bonus. There are two bars at the other end of the beach, called Silent Point (no music, just the waves). Perfect place to have a drink. Our hut was basic but had everything you need- hot water, perfectly working air con, fan, little terrace, it was clean. Very good wifi. None of these things were working well in our previous accommodations that was more expensive. We booked 1 night snd ended up staying 3 nights. The hosts were really lovely and caring, food they prepared was super delicious, best we had on the island. We loved our stay.
