"Pros: First of all: The room and facilities are very basic but wholly sufficient and really good value for the money. I've slept in worse places for a way higher cost. The room was spotless clean when I arrived, with a newly washed bed sheet and cleaned pillows. The bed was very comfy and long enough, even for me (1,98m). There was a lockable cabinet for valuables, which was a nice touch. The A/C worked fine and had enough power to make me shiver. The fan above the bed is really nice if you don't want to sleep with the A/C on. There is a mosquito net, but I didn't need it. The location is really good as it is just a very short walk, of 3 minutes, to a really nice beach. There are no beach bars or restaurants at this beach, so grabbing a beer, at the wine shop, and drinking it while gazing at the stars on the the beach was my guilty pleasure in the evening. There are numerous restaurants in a 5 minute walking range. More than I could try out in 5 days. But the best was the hospitality of Suman, Malika and their children. I immediately felt welcome. Malika is a great cook, which leads to a very tasty breakfast on the terrace for a small price (800Lkr) and she even has her own stall near the beach, where she sells snacks like fried dhal, fried prawns and "chili-donuts". All of it was a treat as well. Cons: This is not really criticism, but more of points which could be improved for an even better experience: A cotton towel would have been nice. The towel was sufficient but as it was mostly plastic it wouldn't soak up that much water. A second bedsheet to use as a cover at night would be nice, as I like to sleep with a cover, even in tropical climate. Maybe send that rooster, along with all the others in the village, to therapy, so they won't start crawing in the middle of the night. ;-)" ~Robin

"Pros: Return visit having stayed here 5 years ago. Just as we fondly remembered, though now there is some building development happening onsite. Large, comfortable end room with furnished verandah where we had a generous breakfast each day. Very close to the, lifeguard protected, swimmable beach. A string of restaurants on nearby Beach Road provide convenient eating options" ~Alex

"Pros: Great location, lovely gardens, rooms clean and fresh, close to the beach and nearby restaurants. Suthas and his family were lovely and the breakfast was delicious. Cons: Nothing. It was all great" ~Daniela

"Pros: Lovely setting in a garden. Clean swimming pool and rooms. Cons: None" ~Rakdaow
