“Unbelievable location and a spacious room that offers everything you need”
+Would’ve stayed here a lot longer if I had the time! 2 minute walk from the beach and just a few minutes in the opposite direction to get in to town. Comfortable beds, very spacious room. Kingsley was a great host and made a beautiful breakfast.

“Perfect for us, thank you 💗”
+The coziness, the simplicity, the little private garden and the quiet caring and loving ( and talented) family.
−Nothing - for me it was a simple, bit of paradise …. The breakfasts were also the best, as was curry and rice from the family restaurant and from their extended family’s restaurant next door.

“Highly recommend, lovely family, great central location, easy walk for a swim, close to shops, restaurants”
+Beautiful clean sheets, towels, hot water, little fridge, access to kettle. Food was very delicious. We stayed 3 nights & every breakfast was a little different, all delicious. I especially loved the hot ginger teas to help our colds.
−Nothing to complain about.

“Superb”
+Best breakfast we have had so far in Sri Lanka. No AC, but most nights the fan was enough. The restaurant of the owner is very good and popular as well. Would recommend this stay to everyone!

“What a great surprise!”
+I stayed at Kingsley only for one night, but honestly, it was such a great experience ! The cleanest guesthouse I stayed at so far! Plus very comfortable bed, clean towels (like clean for real!), spacious room and hot shower! Very yummy breakfast and super kind staff. Also at their restaurant next door everyone is adorable and their food is to die for! I recommend 10/10! Thank you so much. See you next week(yes, I booked again at Kingsley cause I'm currently in Mirissa but don't like it)

“Exceptional”
+What a lovely place to stay very close to Hiriketiya Beach. A very friendly family that goes the extra mile to ensure that your stay is perfect (especially food-wise). The room is spacious for two. Perfect size bathroom with warm water. When arriving, you are welcomed with a free lunch, and also the included breakfast is more than enough. People were even queuing for the restaurant.
−Sharing the room with four people might be a bit tight. There was no AC but two fans do the trick.
