+Lovely villa, it had just been refurbished so everything was immaculate. Comfortable 4 poster bed, nice outdoor bathroom, a kitchen with all the amenities that I needed. Lovely outdoor seating area where I could do my yoga. Beautiful garden with sunbeds. They have a massage room and I booked a couple, both were excellent. Good wifi connection. The host was very attentive and always available to message if I needed anything. Just a 5min walk to the beach and restaurants. I stayed here for over 2 months whilst doing some volunteer work but this place is also a bit of luxury for a holiday.
−There is currently no option to buy breakfast / dinner but this wasn't an issue as I cooked in the kitchen or ate at one of the nearby restaurants.

“Peaceful & stylish nature stay in Tallala”
+A fantastic stay in peaceful Tallala with our super host Isuru who welcomed us like family and made our stay very comfortable helping with everything from transport to Tuk Tuk rental and restaurant recommendations. A very warm and helpful guy who seems to really care for his guests and who has taken great pride in developing a comfortable and stylish summer house perfect for families or any small group looking for a calm and quiet stay 4mins away from Tallala beach. We particularly enjoyed watching the wildlife in the morning with a coffee, mongoose, monkey's and chipmunks. Would highly recommend and would return again, the nicest calm and empty beach we have enjoyed in SL to date.
−Nothing stood out, can't think of anything.

“Exceptional”
+Isuru is a wonderful host. He made us feel at home in his beautiful property and was extremely attentive. Any requests or questions we had we could just WhatsApp him and he'd reply within minutes. The house is easy walking distance to the beach and set in stunning gardens - perfect for a relaxing stay.

“Charming architecture but not very hospitable”
+The house has a beautiful garden and a lot of character.
−Windows in my room didn’t have mosquito screens, so I had to keep the shutters closed, making it very dark and cave like. I think this is only an issue in the back rooms, so it’s worth choosing carefully. The hosts were not terribly generous - there was no welcome drink, for instance. I had to pay for bottled water (unusual in Sri Lanka), and the fried fish meal I had was overpriced (it didn’t come with rice or accompaniments) and not that nice. Although there was a kitchen, there were no basics such as salt, milk or oil.

“Paradise”
+Rooms huge and spacious, fantastic bathroom, and outside an amazing place to sit and watch the fireflies at night. A relaxing paradise and 5 min walk to the beach The host was so welcoming and helpful, and the breakfast was superb. The best Sri Lankan breakfast we had during our trip. Also so helpful to have beers and water already in the fridge. We will be back. It’s an incredible place to stay.

“One of the best places to stay in Sri Lanka”
+The perfect hosts! Isuru and Mama are the most wonderful hosts, the house is immaculate, the food is amazing and Isuru couldn't be more helpful and friendly. Truly the best place we stayed in Sri Lanka. Isuru organised tuk tuk, massage and scooter hire for us. Nothing was too much trouble. This is a very special place to stay. We were sad to leave.
