    After a month in Sri Lanka, I can tell this was our best stay. Room was clean, terrace comfortable, surrounding nature beatiful and the owner Indhika has open mind and heart, knows english very well. We had great chats with him. And overall felt super welcomed.

    Three Little Birds was one of the first places we stayed in Sri Lanka and so far it's one of our favourites overall. We extended our 6-day stay by another 5 (we were lucky as we were off-season). Indhika is incredibly hospitable, a man with a big heart for whom running this place is much more than a business. Therefore, almost immediately we felt at home and finally truly relaxed. In beautiful natural surroundings and with good people around. We are really thankful for having a memory of staying at Indhika's place.

    I have nothing to complain about.

    I don’t even know where to begin. We read al the reviews and everything was so positive. We told ourself: “we will see.” The reviews did not lie. Indika is an amazing person, who services you to every demand. He always makes sure you have everything you need. You can see he really loves meeting new people. Breakfast and dinner was good. The location was nice. Not in a busy area and surounded with birds and a nice view over the wetlands. The room is basic, but it fits the price. Indika built everything himself, which we found very impressie. What you see on the pictures is what you get + an amazing host. We were sad to leave. This was one of the best homestays we stayed at.

    The homestay was absolutely beautiful with an amazing view of fields and nature with tons of animals and birds. The room was very nice with mosquito nets and air conditioning available. Honestly one of the prettiest places we’ve stayed. But that wasn’t the best part. The best thing about Three Little Birds was its owner Indhika. He was absolutely wonderful and went above and beyond to make our stay special and show us around. He took us out kayaking, he took us to a local beautiful temple, he gave us loads of incredible meals. The best host we’ve ever had!

    A little bit remote, if you don't hire a scooter. If you want to go to the shops or restaurants, you need to rely on the local bus or a tuk tuk.

    Clean accommodation, quiet area, helpful host. The owner, Indika, is very kind and helpful. He will go out of his way to organise things for you and make you feel relaxed. He is a very honest and kind man who tries to run his business with the guests as his top priority. I went for a kayak trip in the lagoon with him and that was really beautiful and peaceful, I definitely recommend it! There is a beautiful beach 20min walk from his place.

    Everything was amazing!!!

    Amazing stay near Tangalle, the host Indhika is one of the friendliest, most helpful and hard-working people we have met and definitely our highlight in Sri Lanka. We recommend this place to everyone, the property is in the middle of nature, with spacious rooms, nice facilities and beautiful views of fields and a little delta. At sunrise and sunset you can admire the birds and buffaloes from the hammocks or the comfy chairs. When you check in, you'll be welcomed with delicious black tea. Breakfast and dinner can be served for a small extra fee, they are incredibly delicious, so we recommend you eat there. If you're looking for a peaceful place in a serene location and an authentic Sri Lankan experience, make sure you check this place!!!

    The owner of this house is a wonderful man with a big heart. Being here you don't feel like you're in another ordinary hotel. You feel like you're at home. Indhika takes care of you, is friendly and always willing to help. This place is his dream come true and for us it has become part of a wonderful story that we will never forget and the realization of our dream of Sri Lanka. If you are looking for a place that you will be able to remember after years with a smile on your face, this is the place. As for the food, it is delicious and the rooms are very cozy and clean. You can watch wild birds all day and in the evenings listen to the soothing sounds of cicadas swinging in a hammock. We will definitely come back here someday.

    The host will make it all worth it! The room is very spacious and comfortable. Indihka thought in every detail when he build the place. If you’re looking for an authentic home stay with an incredible host while in Tangalle, this is the place. The food (dinner and breakfast) was amazing, we did a nice walk through the swamp in front of the house and was an unique experience

    Cozy room with private bathroom, hammock, veranda with lovely jungle view. Great place for silence, meditation and relaxation. Hospitable and friendly host Indhika helps with everything you need. Treated us with coffee and mango tea for breakfast and dinner. You can ask him for tuk-tuk ride or kayak swim. A lot of birds and animals nearby. Food shop and bus stop is in 10-15 min walk. In some time the new private cottage will be ready. Hope to return as soon as possible and stay in it.

    Many things to remember from this place. First of all is the owner who made my stay memorable. A very nice person with whom I much enjoyed having conversations. The location is perfect: nature all around, a river and a little jungle to enjoy the nature and calmness; only 5 minutes away from the city center. The room was nice and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious. This place deserves a gold medal.

    Indhikasp thank you very much for everything, It has been an unforgettable experience! During my stay he drove me with his tuktuk and did a lot of activities. We went to the beach, saw turtles and did kayaking in the lake. The house has amazing views to the lake, you can see many types of birds and water buffaloes. The room is big and clean and has also a big private bathroom. I had breakfast and dinner and it was sooo delicious! Thank you again for everything, you are the best host!
