    Can’t recommend highly enough - best place we stayed in Sri Lanka! Gorgeous, huge room and lovely pool. Perfectly situated in a quiet area but easy walking distance to the beach. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a great time and wished we could have stayed longer.

    This place was the most beautiful secret of Mirissa. The pool and gardens felt like a tropical oasis and the rooms were large and comfortable. The staff were always helpful and always busy maintaining the beautiful property. It was amazing value for money, the property was even nicer than the pictures do it justice. We had 4 rooms and all were different with their own lovely features such as a private patio, a comfy lounge and balcony, garden views and pool views. The breakfast was great also, just simple and delicious in a beautiful garden location. We loved the dogs Bella and Bingo and the cat Queenie

    We had a lovely time staying here. We were checked in by a lovely girl who showed us around and gave us a refreshing welcome drink! The pool area was lovely to cool down in the hot sun while watching monkeys jump around the trees. The location was quiet but also close to the town for nearby restaurants etc. Our room was spacious and opened out onto pool area with a lovely patio sitting area. We would highly recommend.

    This hotel is incredible! It’s perfectly located and just stunning! I had a pool view room and the terrace was incredible. My only negative is that it’s so gorgeous that I felt bad leaving the hotel to go and see mirissa beach! Pool is wonderful and quiet, perfect for relaxing, which I’d did on my last day here whilst waiting for my Tuk Tuk!

    We stayed in many hotels in sri lanka, but price quality this one was the best. Thank you.

    Everything was simply amazing. Friendly people, not too commercial, just good hearted. We forgot something in our room, they sent it back to us. (So great!) Kitchen that you could use at any point. Great calme surrounding and very nice spa next to the guesthouse. A lot of space, good swimming pool, very central location. We loved it so much here, greatly recommended. Dont hesitate to book this!

    Beautiful room with facilities I was not expecting, for example, the kitchen. It had all kitchen tools and crockeries one could possibly need there. The patio with a kitchen was a wonderful spot to cook dinner and have a little party of your own. Also very thoughtful of the staff to leave two umbrellas in our room which we definitely needed.

    Amazing guesthouse! We didn’t realise we had booked the cabana and were blown away, everything has been considered to the last detail. Very comfortable and beautifully decorated. It also had an outdoor kitchen and sitting area, a private garden area and direct access to the spa. The pool area is very tranquil and comfortable. A short walk down a lane and you are in the centre of Marissa. We did not have breakfast included but found great places to eat nearby.
