Not bad not great. Room was good big
Pros:

Location is perfect

Cons:

We did not like that they did not accept any credit / debit cards. Cash only but SLR currency they did not accept dollars too which was not mentioned anywhere. At the time of check out it was difficult for us as while booking we had added our credit card details. But they denied to accept that and asked for cash which we had to rush and get it as our cab was waiting we had to leave for Matara. Cab driver was helpful and friendly he took us to the currency shop which was not on our way but still he helped.

Best choice.
Pros:

Great stay. The location is perfect—close to lots of nice cafés and just a short walk to the beach. The room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable, with good AC. Sashi was a kind and helpful host who made sure everything was taken care of. Would definitely stay again.

Pros:

Fijne locatie dichtbij het strand en het centrum

Cons:

De kamer was leeg en kaal. Ik had amper een plekje om mijn spullen neer te leggen (behalve op de grond).
Ook kwam ik een kakkerlak tegen, vandaar de lage score op hygiëne

Pros:

Close to very nice beach and tons of restaurants. We booked a room with balcony located upstairs and happened to see some monkeys messing around. It was fun.

Cons:

The building is close to the road, so the noise during the day might get bit disturbing to those seeking peace and quiet. It was fine at night though.

We felt that the price is quite too high compared to other places we stayed in Sri Lanka. The standard of the rooms was good but the breakfast is not included and the host just did bare minimum.

Buena ubucación
Pros:

Cumplía con las expectativas: dormir cerca de la playa para no perder mucho tiempo ya que solo hicimos una noche allí.

Cons:

En nuestro caso, teníamos que madrugar mucho e irnos a dormir pronto. Nos costó dormir ya que hubo mucho ruido durante las primeras horas de la noche (gente en la terraza que esta justo al lado de la ventana y tuktuk entrando al lugar).

Great clean stay close to the beach and everything else.
Pros:

Great stay really close to the beach, cafes and restaurants. The room was simple but clean, with clean and ventilated bathroom. Had no AC but the ceiling fan helped. Loved the separate entrance through the small garden, felt very private.

Beautiful location and people
Pros:

Everything! Location was 10/10 as well as the service. Me and my husband were on our honeymoon trip and they made sure to prepare the room in a cozy and romantic way for our arrival. Additionally, we had to change our date of departure and everything was handled smoothly. Samanthi, Nimesh, Sashi and the rest made our stay as good as it could be. Thank you with all my heart for making our trip so wonderful!

Great location, nice place to stay.
Pros:

Great location, good price

Cons:

Check out was a little chaotic as none of the members of staff knew how to check us out and we had to wait for the owner to arrive, who we had never met.
