Comme chez vous chez Sumimal
Pros:

Quelle superbe surprise de séjourner chez Sumi ! Sa famille nous a accueilli comme sa propre famille, c’est d’ailleurs l’impression qu’on a eu en partant. Nous avons passé une seule nuit mais aurions aimé rester plus. La chambre et les repas était super. Vous êtes à proximité de la plage de Polhena. Et n’hésitez pas à demander des conseils locaux à Sumi et sa famille 🫶 Je recommande, n’hésitez pas. Vous ne serez pas déçu du voyage.

Cons:

La chambre était un peu bruyante, il y en a une autre qui n’est pas sur la rue (pensez à demander la bonne 😉).

Pros:

We had a wonderful stay with Summi and Mal. The house is very large and very beautiful. The room is very pleasant and above all there is a magnificent terrace where we had breakfasts and dinners. The food prepared by Mal is very good and very plentiful. We were welcomed by a very warm family and it was very pleasant to chat in the evening with Sara, Chathmi and Mal. In short, you understand, we highly recommend this address. I forgot to say that the family rented us a scooter during our stay for an extremely reasonable price. We were able to explore the entire region. Early in the morning we went swimming with the turtles. It's a wonderful memory. In short, you can go there without hesitation.

Cons:

Nothing.

Pros:

We were guests at Sumi and Mal’s home and we enjoyed it. They offer delicious breakfast, dinner and tea. I liked the garden with birds right in front of the balcony. Check out the craftwork Sumi makes herself. Location is great - close to the beach, close to a pharmacy, shop and some restaurants.

Cons:

Nothing

A home away from home
Pros:

Sumi and Mal are amazing hosts and made us feel like home since the first moment we arrived. We were supposed to stay 3 nights but ended up staying over 2 weeks. Breakfast and dinners Sumi and Mal cooked were super delicious and we got to eat dinners also with their friends and family. I am glad we found a Sri Lankan family from Polhena.

Room was spotless and was also cleaned during our stay. Location was excellent, close to main road and Polhena / Madiha beaches.
