“Nice staff, beautiful beach, zero room comfort. Great if you need a place to stay for just one night or are fine with a”
+Pros: The location right by the beach is beautiful. The hotel provides private sunbeds and serves a nice breakfast right at the beach. You feel like you’re in a secluded place, get to watch surfers all day and are just a short walk away from Polhena beach (the hotel beach is nicer, although quite rough/dangerous for swimming) and an area where you can see and swim with lots of turtles. Plenty of restaurants nearby aswell as scooter rental and place to get your laundry washed. The owner gave us a great tip on where to find turtles (by the doctors house, it’s a restaurant/club. We were originally headed to the tourist hotspot but thanks to him we went to a much better place).
−Negative: We were very disappointed with the room. If all you need is a bed and a functioning warm shower, then it‘s enough. If you‘d like a bit of comfort, don‘t stay here. This is the sole reason we left. Already after the first night we considered cancelling the next two nights that we had booked. Only stayed because the beach and surroundings really are quite nice. The room consists literally of an uncomfortable, hard bed, two bedside tables, a rug, a desk without a chair, one coat hanger and a bathroom which you can see in from the bedroom (door and walls are mostly out of transparent glass, zero privacy when travelling with a partner or friend. Don‘t enjoy being watched while sitting on the toilet). The walls/corners are full of dead insects. Zero kind of decoration or anything to make the room just a little bit nicer. According to the homepage there should have been a safe and wifi, we didn‘t have either. During our whole 3 week stay in Sri Lanka this is also the first room where we didn‘t have at least a fridge or a kettle for coffee/tea. And it’s the least nice room out of all. And we have stayed in plenty same priced and cheaper homestays. (photos were taken just before w

“Beauty and relaxation”
+This was one the most amazing places I have ever stayed. The warmth of the hosts, their laidback but accommodating nature and the sheer beauty of the location made this place superb. I know I'm gushing but seriously if you want to chill and appreciate the beauty of the world this place is perfect

“Helt perfekt”
+Den perfekte lille oase helt nede ved vandet. Fantastisk sødt personale, fine værelser hvor man får præcis hvad man ser på billederne og helt perfekt beliggenhed. Vi nød vores fem nætter her så meget, kan varmt anbefale!

“Widok na ocen kilka kroków do plaży miły personel fajny pokój i śniadania naplazy polecam”
+Czysto wygodne łóżko łazienka mimo że mała to wygodnie się w niej bierze prysznic jest ciepła woda jest klimatyzacja. Lokalizacja super 2 kroki do fajnej plaży leżaki darmowe dobre śniadania na plaży przemiły personel pomocny polecam gorąco! Miałam pokój na 2 piętrze ze świetnym widokiem na ocean!
−Całą dobę słychać fale oceanu jak ktoś jest wrażliwy na dźwięki w trakcie spania polecam pokoje niżej lub zatyczki do uszu. W łazience czasem czuć wodę ale można włączyć wiatrak cały czas
