UkraineThe owner manager is delight- very helpful and kind Big room
United Kingdomthe breakfast buffet is average. there's a mix of breads and some sri lankan foods too.
JapanAttractive property with a great pool and lovely staff. It’s well located for an early whale watching trip, and a short walk from the beach. The 12 noon checkout time is really helpful to be able to have a swim and shower after a morning out on a boat.
Cayman IslandsGood villa with pool and friendly staff. Enjoyed the stay and location.
United KingdomVery conveniently located just off Mirissa beach, Colonial Villa is a great place to enjoy Mirissa and the surrounding area.
United Arab EmiratesThe hotel was beautiful, we stayed in the double deluxe room which was well worth its money. Comparing to the standard room highly recommended. The pool was great and staff were very supportive and friendly. Location was good, it was quiet at night but within walking distance of the beach and restaurants. Tuktuk to the other end of Marissa was approx 200lkr
NetherlandsLovely place with a great pool. I was in one of the older rooms but it was spotlessly clean and comfortable. The owner chatted to me as I checked out and was really friendly. The location is perfect as it is 5 min walk from both the beach and the harbour for whale watching! Wish I’d stayed here longer!
United KingdomI liked everything! The hotel it’s clean, good location and amazing breakfast! Everybody there was very kind!
BrazilNice pool, good looking appartments, nice location

Our family house which is about 100 years old was renovated and expanded preserving the old charming of the colonial house to make a 20 bed room hotel. All rooms are air conditioned and have hot water. wifi is available in all areas for free. Facilities such as restaurant, swimming pool, recreational area, etc are available on site.
My Wife, Priyanga and I are Engineers in profession and came to hospitality business in 2011 by converting our family house, "Handagedara" (which was affected by Tsunami in 2004) to a guest house.
The hotel is located just 75m radial distance from both the famous mirissa beach and the fishing harbour where whales watching trips are started from. It is only 3-5 min walk to the beach and the harbour.
