“More than just a stay”
+I didn’t just find a place to stay, I found a beautiful family. They were incredibly kind and truly helped me when I needed it most, which meant a lot to me. The location is perfect, close to everything and very convenient. The room was comfortable, and I felt at home right away. A warm and special place that I wholeheartedly recommend.

+Comfortable stay at Yunals place with good communication with staff. Nice spacious room with comfortable bed and mosquito net. Fridge in room was a nice bonus!
−Unfortunately no A/C which would have been nice on the super hot day we arrived (but this was transparent in the ad so this is on us!)

+The location couldn't have been any better, super close to the beach and shops. The hosts were also lovely, greeted us with coconuts on arrival.

“4 minutes from beach”
+A 4 minute walk to the beach, the location is perfect, Lasantha and his family are wonderful people and we enjoyed our stay here.. it was very hot, but we did have 2 fans and a cool shower. Lasantha (ex Sri Lankian Air Force) also has a tuk tuk and mini bus, and unlike the tik tuk mafia on the south coast has the highest interigty, honestly and professionalism also very reasonable in terms of cost and driving us around, for most of the day, taking us to places we wanted to goto and showing us some amazing things.
−I should have booked the AC room, my mistake.

+We stayed in the big family room with two big beds. It was bright, nice and spacious. The terrace spot was perfect in the evening, when the kids were at sleep, overlooking the palm trees. The family are very kind and modest, and were so nice playing with our curious kids.

“Amazing stay near Hiriketiya Beach!!!”
+Amazing home style stay. The most beautiful, hospitable, kind and helpful family. Yunals place is close walking distance (less than 5minutes) to Hiriketiya Beach, which we surfed each morning and afternoon. It’s off a busy little road, and is quite and feels like its own little oasis. The family hired us a scooter and recommended amazing spots nearby to explore. We would love to stay here again next time we are in Sri Lanka.

“Wonderful place with kind host family”
+The room was very comfortable and nicely decorated! Everything was clean and the hosts offered us water and laundry service for very good prices. Overall the hosts were incredibly kind and helped us whenever we asked but also let us do our own thing. As two women we felt very comfortable and safe here.

“HIDDEN GEM! A MUST-COME STAY :)”
+this is a hidden gem! price is 12£ per day, totally worth it. you have a lot of privacy and a private garden too. kitchen is small but works great. We initially came for 3 days and stayed 3 days more - thats how good it is the place. The host is always bringing us some fresh juices - avocado, fresh orange etc. and also is very attentive without being intrusive. the lady cleaned our room every 2 days so thats also nice. And beach is very close! only 4 minutes walk. I love this place! BONUS: Also wifi is better than in a lot of houses here in Sri Lanka.
−nothing - all is perfect here.
