Super food , clean room, friendly owner

Stayed in March 2025

The room was a little bit small and dark but still really good value for money!

The hosts were so friendly and helpful giving information about what to do in the area. The breakfast was really good and the room was clean and the shower was really good. Location was so close to the beach and also a short walk to the centre of town. A lot of restaurants and cafes close by.

Not very social

The room is big, and I absolutely loved the woman working there. She was the sweetest :)

The hosts of the place, Manu and Shashi, are people of great heart! Very helpful, friendly, and always smiling. The place has all you need. Hot shower, air con, fan, comfortable bed. There is plenty of outdoor space to chill out. You can order there a dinner made from fresh fish and seafood caught by Manu. Very Yummy 😋 Additionally, Menaka is close to the beach, restaurants, and the town centre. But really, you go there to make a great friendship. Manu and Shashi, we miss you ♥️

Clean and comfortable budget accommodation. Great value. The family that run the homestay are very kind and helpful. Decent WiFi, hot water and AC, all at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended.

Hosts are amazing and helpful. We also went fishing with Manu. Breakfast is plentiful and good. The rooms were very clean. The location is excellent since it is close to the centre but in a quiet area. And it is also very close to the beach. I highly recommend the place.

This has been the best Homestay I had in Sri Lanka so far. The level of hospitality, kindness and overall nice atmosphere, is unmatched. The location is perfect - very close to the center and beach, but hidden enough for you to feel comfortable. The rooms are simple but have everything you need. The breakfast with fresh fruit was also really good. The owners however are the main reason this place is so amazing - humble, kind, true and helpful. I only wish I stayed longer. Thank you very much!

EVERYTHING - Manu and his wife Shishi and the house dogs were the best! we felt at home, Manu went fishing and cooked us fresh crabs, shrimps, fish more than we can eat at a very fair price. he also went fishing in the next morning again and cooked us fresh lobsters in the morning free of charge because he didnt have lobsters the night before. he is just too kind and giving. we played card games all night as a family:) rooms are clean and beds are comfy. also hot shower! dont leave this place without eating the seafood!

We had to leave

We have just left after a two night stay, and what can I say? The accommodation was spotlessly clean, and the bed was one of the most comfortable we have slept in during our time in Sri Lanka. The shower had good pressure with plenty of hot water, and the air con worked well. What really set this homestay apart was the wonderful hospitality from the hosts Manu and Sashi. From the moment we walked through the door, we were treated like family rather than tourists. We were welcomed with fresh mango juice, and Sashi kindly gave us a handwritten list of local attractions with distances and travel times. We had a delicious breakfast and, after a busy day sightseeing, were welcomed back with a fresh king coconut juice. Manu and Sashi exceeded our expectations as hosts.

I only regret I could not stay longer. Thanks a million you two amazing humans!

I am a woman traveling alone, so to feel safe and at home is such a gift. These two were so warm and welcoming. It was without a doubt the best experience i had during the past 3 weeks. The room was perfect, as well as the location and the breakfast. I just really wish I could have stayed longer, but no doubt I will be back, even if it is only to see them again❤️

Simple and basic. Walking distance from the bus station. After making our reservation, we received via email a very useful map on how to get to the accommodation. Nice family, friendly and hospitable. Delicious coconut welcome drink. Aircon worked well. Simple and filling breakfast. Mini fridge in the room. The wifi signal was strong but slow on our first day, we were told it would improve the following day because it would be first of the month when the internet package is renewed and it was indeed much better on our second day. We went out on the fishing trip (5am start!) and the crew were lovely people. We caught many fish and it was fun. The fish was later cooked for dinner (included in the price).

Great home stay in Tangalle. The hosts were really friendly genuine people. The room was basic but had everything we needed - AC / wifi / mini fridge. The outdoor area is really nice & there are some little breakout areas with sofas / table & chairs to chill outside of the room. Can hire scooter from here which we’d recommend to get to the beaches as the beach nearby is more of a fisherman’s beach, the other end is best for spending the day

Nothing was perfect.

Fantastic place with hosts that genuinely understand and care about guests and have created a magic place to stay that reflects this. The place to stay in Tangalle. I had to cancel one night in order to get an emergency passport and they didn't charge me cancellation fee. The hosts have thought about and prepared the place with thoughts about guests and not just making money. Would stay again definitely when in Tangalle next. It is a fantastic place to stay with funky colored rooms and little outdoor area and restaurant.

For 1 Night it‘s good, small room, everthing clean. Breakfast was okay, but could be improved.

The room is super equipped and very clean. The special thing about the accommodation for me was the hosts in particular - they are the nicest people ever. They helped me with everything and we had great conversations. The dinner at their place was great, I can highly recommend it. It was the best accommodation in Sri Lanka so far.

We stayed for 6 days and didn’t expect much, cheap accommodation and very close to the beach and city centre. Turned out to be the best decision ever! Never have we met someone so nice, lovely and helpful as the hosts, Manu and Sashi. Words are not enough to describe our time here, if you are in Tangalle, there is only one place you should stay. Also the cooking skills from Manu and Sashi are better than in most of the restaurants. Much love

The lighting in the room could have been improved by a side light to the bed. Everything else was great.

Manu and his wife were some of the best hosts we have had in Sri Lanka. Their hospitality was superb. They cooked a fantastic fish / lobster / prawn dinner for us at a very reasonable cost, sorted some well priced tuk tuk journeys and onward travel arrangements. Really enjoyed going fishing on a fishing boat, organised through Manu, catching many fish. Manu then used that fish to give us another delicious dinner. The room was spacious, air conditioning was effective, plenty of hot water all the time for showers. There were outdoor spaces around the property for relaxing and a lovely covered area where we had breakfast each morning (and dinners when we ate there).

Breakfast was not that amazing, it is a very basic one.

Close to the beach, hosts are very nice. Rooms with good AC.

Nada

The breakfast was basic but satisfying: an egg, toast, fresh fruit (delicious) and plentiful coffee. The WiFi was strong throughout the property, the room was clean and had everything I needed. The staff were sweet and attentive. I would have loved to have stayed longer!
