Exceptional hotel and staff, they are really caring, professional and keep the perfect balance between treating you like a friend but letting you your personal space at the same time. Special thanks to Yohwan and the whole service team for the early pre-brekfast for my early beach walks.
Seasonal the water was really rough, so no swimming in front of the hotel in the sea. But the 25m pool is excellent and swimming and snorkeling just 5min away with the tuktuk
We absolutely loved our stay and only wish we could have stayed longer. The room, location, ambience, service, and food were all exceptional, and every member of staff made us feel genuinely welcome. We couldn’t fault a thing and would happily return in the future.
Nothing at all. We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our stay, from the hotel and service to the food and overall atmosphere. Our only disappointment was that we couldn’t stay longer.
Wir waren mit dem Hotel sehr zufrieden. Die Lage ist hervorragend und ideal gelegen. Die Mitarbeitenden waren stets freundlich und hilfsbereit, sodass wir uns rundum wohlgefühlt haben.
Das Frühstücksangebot war jeden Tag identisch und bot kaum Abwechslung. Zudem wirkte das Personal teilweise eher gemütlich, wodurch es bei Bestellungen und Anliegen öfter zu längeren Wartezeiten kam.
Ein weiterer Punkt war, dass die Baby-Schildkröten jeweils abends um etwa halb sechs freigelassen wurden. Dies wirkte auf uns etwas fragwürdig im Hinblick auf den Tierschutz, da der natürliche Zeitpunkt für den Weg ins Meer eher direkt nach dem Schlüpfen in der Nacht bzw. am frühen Morgen liegt. Zusätzlich fanden wir kritisch, dass Touristen die Schildkröten anfassen durften, was aus unserer Sicht nicht ideal für die Tiere ist.
Лучший отель в районе. Возвращаемся в него каждый год

Turtles, food and staff
Noise from road
Beautiful beach , beautiful rooms , relaxing setting
can’t swim in the water
spa is in the sister hotel next door, but it is just a room without much ambience, “ ok spa” over all .
Workers are really nice but especially in the restaurant they need to pay more attention to guests and guest requests instead of talking to each other.
Breakfast is good.
Over all food is ok but could be better.
I liked the view, the beach , the staff are friendly
They have cleaning issues i found insect in my room and gecko, geckos are everywhere in the hotel. It’s so overpriced
Beach front, turtle nesting and the staff
Небольшой очень уютный отель. Ошеломительный номер, очень просторный, очень чистый, комфортный с большой террассой с видом на море. Два вечера подряд выпускали черепашат в море. Необычайно и очень трогательно. Вкусная еда в ресторане. Внимательный персонал.
Все замечательно
Fabulous food
Road noise
A beautiful boutique hotel with incredibly kind and attentive staff. The food was excellent, and the rooms are lovely with stunning views. One of the most special experiences during our stay was releasing the newborn baby turtles into the sea. It was truly magical and heartwarming to see how much care the hotel puts into protecting these animals and helping the turtles safely reach the ocean. We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely recommend this place.
Everything was just great.
Located on one of the nicest spots on the south coast, with quiet, clean sandy beach and turquoise waters. Spacious clean and modern rooms. Very well trained, professional and friendly staff. Fabulous pool for swimming lengths. Great menu and delicious food in the open kitchen restaurant. We were fortunate to see a turtle laying eggs on the beach and also releasing some newly turtle babies in the evenings. Highly recommended.
We thought hard and could not pick a single fault.
The amenities were excellent as was the food. Our room was very spacious and clean. Huge bedroom and bathroom Good location away from the hustle and bustle
It’s been a month since our stay at Lantern Boutique Hotel and while my rating on departure would have been 4.5, I can no longer rate it as highly. It was a last minute booking, as we were originally booked into a hotel in the heart of Marissa. We could not have been more glad that we moved down the coast, after we took a tuktuk into town. The density of hotels, the hawkers on the beach and the surfer/backpacker vibe wasn’t what we wanted, so we congratulated ourselves on our decision as we returned to the Lantern.
The hotel is located on a beautiful, secluded stretch of beach, without a lot of people and none of the frenetic energy found in Mirissa. It has 6 rooms, each overlooking the pool, with the beach and the ocean beckoning beyond. Its day beds provide some shade, tranquility and the view, but why are there only 3 and not one per room? Making the guests jockey for prime spots is something that is not necessary, especially when there is space for additional day beds. Behind the day beds, there is a bar, but it’s not staffed, nor does the staff go around periodically to see if you’d like anything to eat or drink. This absence of service, despite having lots of staff standing around in the kitchen/dining room, is a significant shortcoming.
The dining room is open air and overlooks the pool. Breakfast is included, and the fresh fruit juice and plates of fruit were nice, but once again, the level of service was wanting. We stayed at the hotel for 5 days, and were served by the same staff each day. And yet our preferences (coffee for me, tea for my wife, butter for the pastries, etc.) felt like things we shouldn’t have to repeat every day. There was no “personal touch”, and no coming over to ask about a coffee refill, more water, or anything.
We ate dinner at the restaurant all but one night, and our opinion definitely went downhill each night. We had hoped to have the opportunity to enjoy local specialties, and indeed, Sri Lanka has some amazing cuisine, but after a crab curry special on the first night (which was just OK), other Daily Specials included Chicken Quesadilla, Four Cheese Pizza, etc. The service was basic, the menu and specials uninspired, and the cost for what you’re getting, very high.
We had no basis for comparison in Sri Lanka, but after staying at Buckingham Place (near Tangalle) for the second half of our stay in the country, The Lantern paled in comparison, despite being significantly more expensive. The difference lay not in the location, both are located on beautiful, secluded stretches of beach, but in the level of staff training and service.
The Lantern Boutique has the potential to be great. The location, property, and rooms are all great. They would be well served by bringing in a real hotelier to observe and train the staff to make it a really special place to stay. For us, in comparison and hindsight, it was only just meh.
Beach location - very friendly staff.
N/A - the stay was perfect!
Cancelation experience.was ok. Probably only we started communicating via booking.com
Room not available after booking at booking.com --> reach out via WhatsApp offering us a different place.
