Toller Aufenthalt
Pros:

Wir haben vier Nächte bei Kingsley und seiner Familie verbracht und es war rundum eine wunderbare Erfahrung. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die herzliche Gastfamilie, die uns vom ersten Moment an das Gefühl gegeben hat, willkommen zu sein. Bei jeder Frage oder jedem Anliegen – ob es um die Organisation des Weitertransfers oder um eine Begleitung zum lokalen Obstladen ging – waren sie sofort zur Stelle und haben sich mit großer Freundlichkeit gekümmert.

Auch kulinarisch wurden wir verwöhnt: Das Essen im hauseigenen Restaurant war wirklich ausgezeichnet und ein echtes Highlight unseres Aufenthalts.

Cons:

Nichts

Perfect for us, thank you 💗
Pros:

The coziness, the simplicity, the little private garden and the quiet caring and loving ( and talented) family.

Cons:

Nothing - for me it was a simple, bit of paradise …. The breakfasts were also the best, as was curry and rice from the family restaurant and from their extended family’s restaurant next door.

Pros:

Nous avons adoré ce logement, idéalement situé à moins de 5 min du spot de surf avec un extérieur très agréable. La nourriture du restaurant est délicieuse.
Et surtout Kingsley et sa famille sont des gens d'une extrême gentillesse, nous ne pourrons jamais assez les remercier pour tout ce qu'ils ont fait pour nous suite à des blessures. Ils ont pris soin de nous comme l'aurait fait notre propre famille et ont fait tout leur possible pour nous faciliter le séjour et la convalescence. Une belle rencontre qui restera dans nos cœurs, merci infiniment ❤️

Cons:

Nothing to complain about.

Pros:

Stanza semplice in stile locale e accogliente,divisa in due stanzette matrimoniali con giardinetto e doccia esterna. Colazione abbondante e gustosa,il proprietario davvero disponibile. Ci saremmo volute fermare più giorni per godere della tranquillità della baia. Molto vicino alla spiaggia e ai ristorantino che costellano le viette. Consigliato

Superb
Pros:

Best breakfast we have had so far in Sri Lanka. No AC, but most nights the fan was enough. The restaurant of the owner is very good and popular as well. Would recommend this stay to everyone!

What a great surprise!
Pros:

I stayed at Kingsley only for one night, but honestly, it was such a great experience ! The cleanest guesthouse I stayed at so far! Plus very comfortable bed, clean towels (like clean for real!), spacious room and hot shower! Very yummy breakfast and super kind staff. Also at their restaurant next door everyone is adorable and their food is to die for!
I recommend 10/10!
Thank you so much. See you next week(yes, I booked again at Kingsley cause I'm currently in Mirissa but don't like it)

Pros:

What a lovely place to stay very close to Hiriketiya Beach. A very friendly family that goes the extra mile to ensure that your stay is perfect (especially food-wise). The room is spacious for two. Perfect size bathroom with warm water.
When arriving, you are welcomed with a free lunch, and also the included breakfast is more than enough. People were even queuing for the restaurant.

Cons:

Sharing the room with four people might be a bit tight. There was no AC but two fans do the trick.
