Ms. Anushka & the staff were very friendly & welcomed us at 4 am, as our flight was delayed. The rooms were comfortable. They were kind to provide us with a lovely fruit salad in the morning. Will recommend this place.

Calm hotel close to the airport. Staff is extremely kind and helpful. The kids l9ved the pool.

The pool wasn't very clean, lots of bugs in it. We travelled with young kids, so wanted to have an early dinner, but unfortunately we could not have dinner at the restaurant, because the owner (who was supposed to cook dinner) wasn't in the hotel yet. There are no restaurants close to the hotel, but luckily we could order some food. The staff was helpful in giving us plates and cutlery.

We only stayed here for our last night before our flight home, and that was fine. The hotel is close to the airport, so that was convenient for us. The staff were very friendly.

I stayed here for one night. My flight didn't leave until 7 p.m., and I was allowed to use the room longer. The pool is great for cooling off. The staff were helpful and very friendly. The Wi-Fi in the room was good, and there was air conditioning. The rooms and bathroom were very clean. I only had cold water, which wasn't a problem. There was a boiler, though, so there was hot water. It just didn't work for me. You have the option of eating in the small restaurant. The hosts cook the food, which is delicious. But it's very expensive by Sri Lankan standards. There aren't really any restaurants in the area, but there is a supermarket. The garden is very beautifully laid out. The free tuk-tuk worked without any problems. Of course, if you're a group of people with luggage, it won't work. I would ask beforehand whether a taxi is also free. A few loungers by the pool would be great so you don't have to sit at the edge.

A truly heartwarming family-run business, just 15 minutes away from the airport. Exceptional value, spotlessly clean, and wonderfully cozy. The place is well-equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Highly recommended!

Our room/ bathroom had a relatively strong smell of damp which was a little unpleasant. The price of our evening meal took us by surprise a little, with it being the most expensive meal we paid for out of our 30 day trip in Sri Lanka. We were more than happy to pay it as the food was delicious, however it would have been nice to have known the price beforehand.

This accommodation is less than 20 minutes from the airport and so is perfect for an overnight stay before catching a flight. The family who run the hotel were very friendly and accommodating, cooking us a lovely Sri Lankan meal which we enjoyed in the evening. We also had a delicious breakfast in the morning, also home cooked. Their dog Shiba is very cute :)

The mattress was a little bit to hard for us

We liked the place a lot. We felt very safe and the staff were really friendly also the food was really good, as if a mother had cooked for her children. It was very familiar. We would come again!

Clean, comfortable, and modern room in a nice resort, 15 minutes from the airport. Really friendly owner who speaks great English and will pick you up / take you to the airport. He’s a guide, so if you’re arriving in Sri Lanka ask for tips!

We stayed 4 nights. We had a very nice welcome from Mahesh, his family and from Rohan who all took good care of us. The location is around 20minutes from the airport. It is situated in a very quiet area, with no car/tuktuk noise, appart from some airplanes passing by quiet low very occasionally. The room is very confortable and clean with a little terrasse, so is the nice swimming pool and dinning area surrounded by a beautiful and well kept garden. Lunch and dinner is also possible and made by Rohan with much dedication.

We had a lovely short stay at this accommodation before our flight. The place was clean, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The pool was lovely and refreshing, perfect for relaxing. The food was good, and we appreciated the free tuk-tuk transfer to the airport. Highly recommend for a convenient and comfortable stopover!
