Comfortable bed, the hostel is very clean and has a very pleasant social area, the owners are very kind and helpful. The location is good, a little far from the attractions and restaurants, but the owner drive you anywhere in his tuk tuk. Great breakfast.

I really liked how it felt like a home rather than a hotel. Harshani and her family made it feel very comfortable and are very welcoming. I really enjoyed the homemade food; it’s delicious! The room was as described and photographed. I had a good nights sleep. I highly recommend staying here.

We stayed here for 2 nights during our 4 week trip in Sri Lanka. If you want to stay with locals this is the place to go. Harshani and her family were very kind to us and we enjoyed the cooking class we did together. We hope to see them again one day. Thank you for everything.

I loved so many things about my stay here. Firstly both the lady and gentleman who run this property went so out of their way to make my stay unique and so special. they gave me their number when I arrived in colombo and helped me in my journey by speaking to the bus conductor. they were stood waiting at the roadside when I arrived with their little girl which was so lovely. They gave me lots of advice about my days there and I was only going to stay for one night but ended up staying for two. The breakfast each morning was a lovely surprise with fresh fruit and a main dish. thank you to this lovely family who made my first stop in Sri Lanka a truly lovely and memorable one.

Everything. Awesome host amazing helpful. Location excellent. Just beside the main road. They have a garden and dinning place also. Most important they can communicate in english (good speaker in english). Room big. Ac perfectly working. Bathroom clean room also very clean. Even later I decided to stay one more night but room was full. So they arranged another guest house (their relative). Those person was also amazing. So new host help me to reach the location by their scooter. And also drop me in market also pick up from market and drop me in the guest house. They also serve amazing tasty breakfast and also drop me into bust stand. Best experience in srilanka. Host always take care about everything
