Our stay was absolutely perfect! A huge thank you to our host and his mother for their warm welcome and kindness. We decided to have dinner and breakfast on-site, and it was truly delicious, all homemade. They also helped us book our activities and were always attentive to our needs. We keep wonderful memories of our stay and highly recommend this place!

what can I say? a room with over 200 reviews and that high rating, you are guaranteed a great stay. We booked the stay along with breakfast/lunch/meal. Tasty food at affordable price avoid so we avoid the hassle of looking for a restaurant. Plus the fish curry can't be more fresh because owner is the fisherman!!! few minutes to beach

It was a unique, authentic property. The hosts were lovely and welcoming. And who can resist a home cooked breakfast by mum. 100% best choice if you want to connect with locals and have an authentic non touristy experience

The best accommodation on Sri Lanka so far with an authentic experience. Ishan was really helpful, and the communication with him was perfect. His mum made the best dinner. As a female solo traveler, I felt really safe there.10/10

The family I stayed with was very kind. They supported me in every way and gave great recommendations. The room was very comfortable, and everything had been thoughtfully arranged. The location was within walking distance to the beach and restaurants. If I come back, I would definitely stay here again

One of the best stays I had in Sri Lanka. Loved the sound of the birds in the morning and being away from the busyness. Ishan was always there if I needed anything and provided me with information about the area. Not to mention his Mom's homecooking. Very nice and comforting food. I had lunch on my arrival and dinner that same evening. Also I had breakfast the day I checked out. Very happy. Thanks for a great stay

The tap in the bathroom sink could be a little stronger.

So cosy and the family who run the place are so lovely! Super clean, everything you would need is available.

This place is really homely and makes you feel instantly relaxed! The type of accomodation that you’re happy to stay and have relaxing mornings, and happy to come back to after exploring! Ishaan gave us lots of helpful tips about the area and his mum makes delicious breakfast and dinner! We ate there every day and definitely recommend it! The natural environment surrounding and the vibe that Ishaan has created is truly lovely - a million times better than bright white walls! The place is very clean and practical, with a private bathroom and lovely little deck outside.

Nothing really major. But the place don't come with hot water heater if it's anyone's concern. However the weather is warm so I don't think it's a necessity for water heater. They also accept payment in cash, just heads up - but the ATMs are also walking distance or a short tuktuk ride away, so it's not a problem.

The place was really wonderful. It was walking distance to all the beaches in Mirissa including the main Mirissa Beach, Secret Beach, Turtle Beach, and Coconut Tree Hill. The host, Ishan and his family were wonderful. You could also order breakfast and lunch from them if you'd like authentic Sri Lankan food. Ishan was super helpful in giving suggestions and was very genuine too. The place is clean and neat.

I have loved everything in this location

the family is super nice and friendly, they have advised me good places for diving, restaurants and transport. I loved hearing birds also in the night and I felt save on the raining days hearing the rain

We really really loved the hospitality of Bird House Mirissa. We felt wonderfully welcomed from the moment we arrived here, Ishan welcomed us the most refreshing tea and home made biscuits. The room was comfortable and clean, 100% value for money. Ishan helped us with all the necessary information, he even recommended us a secret spot from where we enjoyed the best sunset in Mirissa. He also helped us with hiring taxis for intercity traveling with a cheapest price range. And one thing I must recommend is to try their food. Ishan's mother is such a lovely lady and an excellent cook! In our 6 days travel of SriLanka, this homestay's meal was our most favorite.

Only thing I didnt like is that I couldn't stay here for a few more days as I had to go back elsewhere 🖤

After being in sri lanka for 7 weeks I can say this is one of the best places I've stayed. The location is amazing, not too far to walk too the beaches or the centre of mirissa for some shopping or to visit restaurants for some food. As soon as I booked a I received a message from Ishan with tips on where to go and what to do in mirissa as well as a menu for the food they serve. I tried the chicken curry and fish curry for lunch and dinner, breakfast i tried the pani pol and the coconut rotti with Dahl. The food was amazing 👏 Ishan mom is the person who cooks the food which is really nice. As Ishan wasn't there all the time he would message throughout the day to make sure everything is going okay and there are no issues. I didnt have any issues whilst being here but if there was a message to Ishan would have sorted it straight away.

An amazing house in nature, entirely built by the host and his father. The host and his family are incredible people who treat you like a brother and provide you with lots of information throughout your stay in Mirissa.

in the night there were a few insects, but that’s part of the treehouse;)

It was such a sweet little treehouse, with a little bathroom and a balcony in front! It got a bit hot in the night, but with the fan it was totally fine, around the bed there is a mosquito net which is really nice! All in all it provided a very comfortable experience in the trees! If you want you can even order dinner or breakfast from the family who runs this. And Ishan, the owner, helped us with everything we would’ve needed and always made sure we are happy.

We stayed with Ishan for 2 nights and we couldn't be happier! The tree house is very nice and clean. It has a ventilator for the heat, incense for mosquitoes and repellent. Ishan helped us with everything we needed from minute 1 when we made the reservation. Excellent attention on his part both by Whatsapp and in person :) he received us with a very tasty welcome tea and we tried the fish curry made by his mother. Very very delicious and filling! Also the breakfast pani pol, we loved it!! We are very happy to have stayed at Bird House and I recommend it without hesitation! Ishan helped us with all our doubts and recommended places to eat that were perfect :)

The location was great. Besides, you can enjoy watching a beautiful male peacock who comes near the house every couple of hours. I recommend the place to people who want a calm place to rest in Mirissa.

Stayed here 1 night and i had a very positive experience. Great communication and such a lovely space. Ishan gave lots of recommendations of things to do in mirissa and was very helpful. His mum is an amazing cook. I really recommend eating in for a traditional local experience of the cuisine. Hope to come back to this cozy spot!

Surrounding streets don’t have many streetlights, it’s dark to walk around in the evenings.

Location was walking distance from everything Mirissa has to offer. The host was amazing, always checking in and making sure your needs were met. The food was also great! Restaurant and excursion recommendations were very helpful! The place was super clean as well.
