Très bien
Pros:

Gihan est vraiment très gentil.
La chambre est simple et correcte. Pas d'eau chaude mais vu la chaleur ce n'était pas un problème pour nous.
La terrasse est agréable et un petit chemin vous emmène sur la plage en 30 secondes.

Très bon rapport qualité prix

Pros:

ロケーションが最高。　すぐ裏が海。　波が強いので泳ぐ人よりはサーフィンやる人向きかな。　朝日と夕日が見れて、マタハの街まで歩いて行けるので、不自由は感じない。
自分はキッチン使わなかったけれど、キッチンで調理している人もいました。
オーナーも非常に親切。　自分はここからバイクタクシーでポレナビーチへ行って海亀見てきました。

Pros:

This little gem is right at the beach, at walking distance to the busstation and within the Dutch ford quarter is great! Destroyed by the tsunami but rebuild by the very friendly owner, it has a nice sitting area, a simple kitchen and the sound of the waves in your ears, very relaxing. I could borrow a bike and off I went! Thanks!

Excelente anfitrión y playa a lado
Pros:

Lo mejor es tener acceso directo a la playa, con mesita y toldo en la playa donde puedes comer, leer o tomarte un café.

Su anfitrión es una persona super amable, por la mañana pescamos y luego nos cocino él pescado que cogimos en la mañana.

También tomamos las bicis prestadas para dar una vuelta

La habitación es básica pero seguramente lo mejor es su anfitrión Gihan y la playa al lado. Tambien el lugar tiene buena vibra y decorado bonito

El lugar es tranquilo, la playa esta libre y tranquila

Cons:

La habitación tiene una ventana que no puedes abrir, seria bueno poder abrir la ventana para ventilar la habitación.

Pros:

房間很簡單，但是重點在可用廚房，以及花園接海灘，住宿在這裏的人，都在這裏享受時光，看書、看海、發呆，肚子餓煮點来西吃。沿著沙灘可以走到市場，很舒服自在的地方。

Value for the money. Not bad.
Pros:

Owner is Friendly. Treated us very well. So far to National Shrine, Matara. Room and attached bathroom was very clean. Bathroom built in a little space but super cute and clean. There was a calm environment. No mosquitoes. You can enjoy the beautiful sea view and wind from the room. Value for the room charges.

Cons:

Pillows was not comfortable to us. Table was not enough to keep goods. Wind of the fan was not sufficient.
