    Very suiet location, friendly people, good breakfast and beautiful swimming pool. They bring you free if charge by tuktuk to and from the town, after 7 pm you pay a small fee. They organized transport for me to the airport with stop in Galle, very good. I also booked surflesson and canal ride with them. Recommend this place.

    Just be prepared for birds - sometimes they are louder than expected.

    The place is amazing. We had a room with pool and garden view and we wouldn’t change it. Breakfast was tasty with different kind of goods - sweet,savory,fruit etc. The pool is really nice and we stayed there and enjoyed the sun beds and everything. There is a free tuk tuk service from 10am to 7pm and its great,we appreciated it and used it more than once. The staff was really nice and helpful. We really recommend the place.

    The location is beautiful, surrounded by a green oasis, tidy and cosey. There's a great breakfast selection including fruits, local dishes and both sweet and savory options. Staff is very helpful and friendly, they have a drop off and pickup service during the day to take you to Mirissa main road. We also enjoyed the pool.

    We enjoyed the 15 minute walk into town (followed by all the local dogs and saying hi to the locals). The free tuk tuk is available until 7 pm, but it’s really after 7 pm and hat you would use it after having dinner out. We also found the sun lounge area small and on grass with muddy patches. It was a bit crowded and towels got a bit dirty with the mud.

    Lovely boutique hotel backing onto the canal. Authenticity designed with a lovely pool to swim in. The canal cruise was lovely early morning, really peaceful. The staff were fantastic! So helpful and friendly. We loved the local wildlife from water monitors to feeding tortoises, to watching fireflies at night. It was so peaceful and relaxing. Breakfast was always great with homemade jams to boot.

    None - everything exceeded my expectations

    This is one the nicest hotels that I have stayed at. The rooms and the hotel in general is absolutely beautiful but what really sets this place apart is the service. Lahiru, Priya and the rest of the staff are warm, welcoming and make this place a true joy to stay at. Truly sad to be leaving but we will definitely return, overall 10/10 experience and would recommend this place to everybody going to Mirissa!

    Alles hat uns gefallen

    The Canalhaus is a truly special place. It is romantic, lovingly designed, and tastefully integrated into the surrounding jungle. It also has a fantastic pool. The interior of the rooms is beautifully furnished with wooden furniture and cozy corners. The bed was very comfortable, and we especially liked the bathroom. The kitchen, with its colorful glass tiles, was exceptional and well-suited for self-catering. The fact that the entire area is illuminated at night, allowing you to walk through a forest of lights, was truly unique. The breakfast was perfectly fine. The service at this hotel was absolutely wonderful. We were given plenty of excursion recommendations, and every wish was anticipated. If there was a problem, it was addressed immediately. Whether we needed a driver, a taxi, or a tuk-tuk, everything was perfectly organized. Everyone was friendly and always had a smile on their face.

    The location just out of the busy street in Mirissa is beautiful. If you don't want to walk for 10 to 15 minutes to town, there is a free tuktuk they will arrange for you. The manager and staff were super friendly. Amazing pool, beautiful garden! Breakfast is very good, with homemade jams. They have tea and coffee and cold water available all day. The room is also very nice. Would definitely stay here again when coming back to Mirissa! Feels more like a home than a hotel.

    Everything was amazing

    Our stay in D Canal House was amazing. It's the perfect place to stay in Mirissa. Away from the crowds but close enough to the city center. With the free tuk tuk service to the main road, we get there very easily in 5 minutes. The bedroom is super confortable, everything is very clean and the balcony has an amazing view for the pool and the garden. The surroundings of the hotel are very beautiful and well treated. The breakfast is probably the best we had in all Sri Lanka. The pool and the garden are amazing. The staff is incredibly kind and helpful. Always making sure that everything is perfect for us. Special thanks to Lahiru, who took care of everything regarding our stay, gave us a lot of sugestions and helped us a lot with the train to leave. Thank you to Priyankara who received us in the first day and was always so kind for us. It's an amazing place, with amazing staff and if we come back to mirissa that's where we want to stay!

    I had an amazing stay at D Canal House. The staff are exceptional, huge thanks to Milan and the team, and my overall experience was nothing but amazing. Absolutely gorgeous pool and very peaceful. We did a short catamaran ride along the canal which was a highlight of my stay. Highly highly recommend!!

    Honestly, this is the best place I have ever stayed. There is literally nothing to complain about! Every single staff member went above and beyond, were so amazingly friendly and sincere. We stayed in one of the huts, which was enormous. There was even a fully stocked kitchen, which was great for making lunch. The bed was comfy, the bathroom was also spacious and it was so quiet and serene. The pool area was also another amazing aspect of this place. Always clean and calm. We found out that there was actually only 3 huts and 3 rooms above the main building, which meant that at times, you felt like you had the whole place to your self. As others have mentioned, it is a 15 minute walk to the beach - but that is not a problem at all. You can even catch a free tuk tuk to the main road, if you're too lazy to walk ;-) The breakfast was also delicious, and I swear, the man at breakfast makes the absolute best omelette I have ever had! Lahiru, Milan, the kind kind man at breakfast (I am so sorry, I forgot your name) and all the other staff was brilliant - thank you SO much! Please do yourself a favor and book this place - I promise, you will not regret it!
