“We loved our stay so much! The hosts were super attentive and even gave us fresh coconuts on arrival and made us fresh w”
+Location was perfect, was a quiet street but surrounded by a lot of restaurants and super market near by. The room was clean, big bed, had filtered water, big clean bathroom, had a washing machine and drying rack. Lovely balcony with table and chairs and full equipped kitchen.

+We stayed at Kian's Place for 4 nights and it honestly made our whole trip so much easier and more relaxing. The location is perfect close enough to Polhena, Weligama, Mirissa that we could base ourselves here the whole time instead of constantly packing up. What really stood out was the welcome; they greeted us with free drinks and snacks, which was such a nice touch after a long journey. The family running the place is wonderful and so genuinely caring, not just polite like hotel staff but actually warm. They really made our vacation feel special.. The Deluxe Double room was clean and comfortable, and it felt like staying with family rather than just a guesthouse. If you want a relaxed south coast base with people who make you feel truly welcome, stay here. We loved it! They also arrange free cycles and rental scooters and cabs for less than the market rate.

“Lovely host, amazing room, great location”
+This place was amazing! The host was absolutely lovely and really helpful with recommendations around the area. The room/building itself was one of the best places we have stayed in Sri Lanka, so modern and clean. Would recommend to anyone. Location is outside of Matara but you can easily get a TukTuk to the centre. Plus there’s a good little beach and a few restaurants within walking distance of the accomodation anyway.

“Exceptional”
+Where can I start! First I want to thank Charitha and his family for everything that made my stay at Kian’s Place an unforgettable one. Honestly 10 stars is not even enough. What I liked the most about Kian’s Place is the Exceptional customer service, Cleanliness of the property and rooms, kitchen furnished with all items needs to cook, close proximity to good restaurants, bars, grocery shops, local beach (Polhena), bikes (provided for the clients) and the kindness of the owner family who really cared for the clients.Further, the neighborhood where the property is located is very safe and quiet with parties (like Mirissa) and I walked several times at night from one of the local favourite “Doctor’s House” on the weekend. Honestly you can’t go wrong staying at Kian’s Place. Again Charita and wife without forgetting lovely Kian and his cousin whose smiling made my day everyday.
−Absolutely NOTHING.

“Beautiful rooms, wonderful hosts, excellent location and tremendous value.”
+Probably the nicest room I have stayed in at this price point in many months throughout Asia. The hosts are very lovely, and extremely helpful and accommodating. Nice neighborhood. The accommodation has everything one needs: balcony, shared kitchen (between just two rooms), washer. The aesthetic is gorgeous, nicer than the pictures.

“The reviews say it all ! Don’t miss this one .”
+This family run homestay has it all. Friendly greetings complete with an ice cold coconut and cake from the family bakery on arrival. The room was excellent. High wooden ceiling, large comfortable bed and spacious bathroom as well as a choice of fan or AC that really worked. The kitchen area on your level has gas to cook , a fridge and washing machine. A balcony overlooks a quiet street and the locals are friendly. Everything is squeaky clean and well presented. The property has complimentary bikes for trips to the beach or nearby cafes and hires scooters for trips further afield. The best part is the true warmth and connections made with the family. Shared conversations and laughter. By far our best stay in Sri Lanka. Do yourself a favour and check it out for yourself.
−This property has everything you will need for a relaxing stay. Safe and secure.

“Our best stay in Sri Lanka by far”
+We’ve been traveling around Sri Lanka for five months, and this is without a doubt the best place we’ve stayed. From the very beginning, we were met with such warmth and generosity. When we wanted to extend our stay by two extra days, they upgraded our room at no additional cost. That really says a lot about how they run this place. During our stay, we were also treated to fresh coconuts, delicious pastries from their own bakery (twice!), and refreshing watermelon juice - all complimentary. It’s the small details that make the biggest difference, and they truly go above and beyond here. The rooms are beautiful, clean, and thoughtfully designed - and having a washing machine in the room felt like such a luxury. The staff are some of the kindest people we’ve met on our entire trip. You genuinely feel seen and taken care of. If we could give more than 5 stars, we would. A truly special place that we would recommend to everyone.
−NOTHING. Everything was great!

“Easily one of the best stays we have ever had!”
+Everything, and we mean everything. The room, the location, the people. This place exceeded every expectation we had. Our room, bathroom, and balcony were spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully equipped. Washing machine, ample plugs, brand new AC, a ventilator, a huge comfortable bed, a proper wardrobe. We had everything we could possibly need. We genuinely could have stayed for a month without missing a thing. The bikes were a lovely touch: well-maintained, always available (and there are many of them), and we used them every single day to ride to the beach, restaurants, and cafes. The location made all of this effortless. Everything we had marked on our travel map was right there. But what made this stay truly special was the people. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with such genuine warmth. They kept checking in on us, brought us snacks, and at one point even helped push our rented tuktuk so we wouldn’t stress about maneuvering it. That kind of thoughtfulness you just don’t forget. 100% recommend Kian’s place. We cannot wait to come back, and next time we are staying much longer.
−Nothing! It was perfect!
