Bon rapport qualité prix et belle vue
Pros:

Chambre en face de la mer, avec le bruit des vagues, dotée d’une clim et à l'écart du bruit de la ville! Un petit plus pr le petit balcon! Chambre certes pas très jolie mais avec tt le confort et le nécessaire pr le prix. Il y a pas mal de petits restaurants sympas autours.

Cons:

Pr le prix je n’ai rien à dire, peut-être juste les draps qui pourraient être renouvelés car troués, mais c’est un détail.

Aquí no
Pros:

El encargado entendió que después de ver la habitación cancelara la reserva. Pagué el importe de cancelación y me fui.

Cons:

Estaba sucio y destartalado. En absoluto un hotel de 4 estrellas.

Ein Ort um Freunde zu finden und Tangalle zu geniessen.
Pros:

Sehr hilfsbereiter Besitzer, tolle Lage direkt am Meer (auch geeignet um zu fischen), der Billiardtisch hat für unterhaltsame Abende gesorgt. Wir hatten einen super Aufenthalt, hatten tolle Erlebnisse wie Kokusnüsse ernten, frisch gefangenen Fisch kochen oder gesellige Abende beim Billiard spielen. Es braucht einen Moment des Kennenlernens, dann hat man aber die beste Zeit!
Man ist sehr nah am Zentrum, alles ist fussläufig erreichbar.

Cons:

Die Einrichtung ist ein bisschen in die Jahre gekommen, Preis-Leistung stimmt aber.

Value for money.
Pros:

Beach front. A big, basic room with ocean views. So neat and tidy. Great value for money, walking distance to eating locations.

Great if you're looking to connect with your inner Crocodile Dundee
Pros:

The staff were welcoming on arrival. The room had the most basic facilities needed, including an electric power shower. The location is on the sea front, convenient for the beach.

Cons:

Maybe we were unlucky with the room (room 4), but I wouldn't recommend this place for couples. Or anyone who doesn't relish a nightly standoff with a cockroach. The room was infested with insects (a continuous column of ants, mainly, but also a few cockroaches and mosquitoes). The problem seemed to be that none of the windows closed (the catches were broken, presumably by previous guests trying to escape or ventilate, or rusted). The ceiling fan creaked, with air barely reaching the bed through the mosquito net, leaving the room over 30 degrees all night. There was only one plug socket, which sparked every time you put in a device, and it was - dangerously - not screwed into the wall.

For the first time in 20 years of travelling we checked out a night early to move elsewhere in Tangalle. Staff didn't seem concerned or surprised, and we paid in full. For £10/$15 more we found a 4 star hotel down the road, which felt like arriving into paradise.

Exceptional
Pros:

Really a spot to enjoy Sri Lanka to the fullest. Owner and the crew are the best source of information for exploaring the area, small tips of where to find the best meals and sights. Ask them and you will not regret. As a family with a seven-year-old, this was the perfect spot. The host even found a local family to cook non spicy food for our kid and he loved it. It was hotless curry.
Really great hosts. Highly recomended!

Excellent! Would recommend to those visiting Tangalle
Pros:

The property was directly opposite the beach which made it so easy to go for a morning dip!
We had a lovely view from the balcony and were very close to several cafes and restaurants.

Nice location but really old en not comfort
Pros:

Location right qt beachfront.
Warm water with pressure.
Relax seat in front

Cons:

It was really old and the room has to be renovated. Sockets really dirty.
Lock not really good. Mosquito net had holes, and there are lot of mosquitos. Towels really then and not nice smell. Very hot inside, has ventilator but no screens at window to get some fresh air.
Although room is not expensive, in Sri Lanka you can find really nice room for same money.
We payed room and went around corner to newly build beautiful location, even cheaper
