Pros:

Location, room and bathroom size, excellent staff, nice breakfast, delicious a la carte, we even watched a turtle laying eggs!

Cons:

Not that it can be changed, but be prepared - villa is next to a busy road so pack your ear plugs. Otherwise, everything was great.

We booked three nights and left after one as was just way too loud and not enjoyable
Pros:

The view of the ocean is amazing, there is no doubting that. The rooms smell nice.

Cons:

It’s a tiny hotel with 4 rooms, 2 of which are literally a meter from the main road so it’s beyond loud.

Also, there were animal droppings in the bed.

The hotel served no alcohol so couldn’t be a drink by the pool and felt there wasn’t much offered to guests in general.

Beautiful, simple beachfront spot
Pros:

This boutique hotel is very tastefully designed, and has great access to a swimming beach and natural tidal pool.

Cons:

We paid way too much, likely because of the holiday season and last-minute booking.

Struttura carina, ma rapporto qualità-prezzo inadeguato.
Pros:

La gentilezza del personale, la vicinanza al mare e a Turtle Beach.

Cons:

Camere piccolissime, estremamente rumorose data la vicinanza con la strada e dotate di pochi comfort, le pulizie non vengono svolte giornalmente: tutto ciò è inaccettabile visto il costo della struttura.

Great experience! Felt like home from the first day.
Pros:

This place exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I felt so welcomed and cared for. The garden and surroundings are full of life, with palm trees, birds, and ocean breeze creating a truly peaceful atmosphere. I wish I could have stayed longer!

A quiet charming home with the Best Breakfast spot in Talpe
Pros:

My boyfriend and I came looking for a place that is quiet and peaceful and we found the perfect place by the beach . This place is private , small and ideal for an intimate setting . Best part it is located right in the centre of everything . Unawatuna just 5 mins and Galle and Ahangama just 20 mins. The people were so friendly and gave us plenty of recommendations for nearby area. They also have another property 2 mins drive away called Marley’s beach house , which they were kind enough to show us . It’s a self catering place and ideal for long stays. We plan to come back and check that place out as well from our trip around Sri Lanka as we really loved the place . As digital nomads both these places and settings are ideal for us .

Cons:

There’s nothing we didn’t like . The food portion was too generous. We are light eaters so we asked to reduce next time . But it showed how Sri Lankans show hospitality through food and the taste was fabulous .

Cons:

Such a cute little place by the sea but alas for bad servicing! The day we checked in the staff informed about no electricity till evening AFTER we made the payment!
Then when the electricity finally came at 530 the room smelled like a dead rat was there for weeks.

The staff were apologetic and very helpful though

A perfect family getaway — relaxed, safe, and full of charm.
Pros:

Went on a family holiday to Moi Talpe and honestly, it was one of the best decisions we made. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel at home — super friendly and incredibly helpful, especially with the kids. That gave us the rare chance to actually relax and enjoy the stay.

The layout of the property is ideal for families — the plunge pool, bean bags, and swings added a lovely charm, and the best part was that everything was within eyesight. We never had to worry about where the kids were. It felt really safe and well thought out.

The beach is just out front. Depending on the season, the shoreline shifts, but a short walk took us to the stunning Talpe rock pools — nature’s own mini plunge pools. Sunsets there were something else.

Food was a highlight — fresh, generous portions, and the kitchen team even went out of their way to accommodate a few dietary needs. The rooms were spacious, clean, and just what we needed after a day in the sun.

It’s rare to find a place that balances comfort, style, and family-friendliness so well — and for the price, it truly exceeded our expectations. We’ll definitely be back!

— A happy (and rested) dad
