    I liked the place, but it's important to know that as you are so close to the railway tracks, the trains do go racing past every couple of hours. Some of the early evening ones rattle the windows. You do get used to it.

    Good price. The people who ran it seemed very kind and were very welcoming.. The location is just opposite the beach. Fantastic. Tha place was very clean. The bus and train station are nearby, and buses stop along the main street, heading to Galle.

    Although it's a haven of peace there is the main rail line directly behind the property, but the trains are infrequent and it really isn't a problem.

    Thos beautiful place is run by a beautiful family, and they can't do enough to help! The rooms are a good size and great value. My room had A/C, hot water and a mini fridge which is invaluable! It's one minute's walk to the beach and is really well located for beach bars/restaurants/banks and shops. They offer tours and airport transfers also. I understand that they do amazing food, although I didn't get chance to try.

    A modest small room for two, a tiny window behind bars and strange bed linen were not its strong point. One of the inconveniences may be the railway running under the walls of the hotel, and the walls shake at night and several times a day from passing trains. But for a few days it seemed even romantic to us.

    This was our first hotel on our first trip to Sri Lanka, and it left a very warm impression. We found this place very atmospheric and cozy, with delicious breakfasts and everything we need, close to the beach, but at the same time surrounded by the jungle. On the third floor there is a large veranda and lines for drying clothes, on the first floor there is a shower to rinse off after the sea. The room had a safe, refrigerator, hairdryer and kettle. When it rained, the hosts thoughtfully provided us with umbrellas.

    We had a very large family room on the top floor. It was cool and spacious with very comfy beds, a safe for valuables, kettle cups, glasses and cutlery. Very useful! It had a large and very effective fan as well as excellent aircon. Everything was spotlessly clean. The bathroom was amazing with hot and cold showers, great lighting and beautiful plants! we had a private balcony with a sea view on the oneside and a shared balcony overlooking the railway tracks on the other. There were lots of fireflies! the trains to go right past, and are noisy, briefly, but they were no problem to us! we enjoyed watching them! All the shared areas were covered in plants and beautifully maintained. Our hosts were really friendly and helpful. it's 2 -3 minutes walk to one of the little beaches suitable for swimming!

    Thank you for amazing stay. The house is fantastic, has a very relaxing atmosphere, the room was clean and spacious. The owners are very kind and always ready to help. I would definitely recommend it if you’re planning to stay not far from the beach and need some space for comfortable rest. The area is also good for small shopping or trying some local dishes.

    Would be nice if the mattress cover would have been it but more comfortable. It was just a thin cloth and no quality bed linens so it slipped during the night. This is the only thing that came to my mind.

    The cleanest hostel I have ever been. The terrace is really nice and the service is exceptional. Really want to point out how friendly the staff/owners are.
