    There was a little ant problem because I had food in my bag (after throwing it away they left too).

    Great location, very good price quality and the owners are extremely nice!

    Everything but mostly the family and their pregnant dog.💛🥰

    We have been traveling for almost 2weeks and this was by far the best place we stayed at. The family was so welcoming and sweet, made us feel like at home. Helped us with everything and were so understanding. After our stay we did not even want to leave cause they made us feel so good, such a lovely family. If you can its definitely a place worth a stay, everything is clean, they have AC, private bathroom and just a lot of room to put your things, over all very comfortable and nice. 10/10 experience!❤️💛❤️💛❤️

    I stayed 2 nights at Namalis place and she really made sure that I have the best time possible. She offered to make western or Sri Lankan food which was really delicious. She also organised some tours including transportation which was very helpful. The rooms are big and clean and the balcony is the perfect place to relax. There is also a really sweet dog that enjoys belly rubs :)

    You can hear some ads in the street through megaphones (but it has nothing to do with the guest room). Its just a part of the city (from 8am to 22pm i guess)

    The host was totally charming, she made us very confortable and was available at any time. You should definitely order some food, she is a really good cooker (special mention for the rice and curry).

    No complaints.

    Beatiful home with even more beautiful owners! The accomadation was clean and well looked after with good ac/fan aswell as nice common areas to relax and hang out. The food was simple but very tasty. The thing that makes this accomodation the absolute best is the ownes! Super welcoming, warm and attentive. Providing us with activities in the area, always making sure that you are comfortable and enjoying your stay. We booked only one night but ended up staying for four nights. Namali and her family made our stay the absolute best!

    The family here are amazing and make you feel so welcome! The nicest family we have met on our travels. They make you feel so at home. It was the best breakfast we have had so far in Sri Lanka - included a big meal, juice and tea. Couldn’t recommend this place enough. Little luna, their dog, is so friendly too and loved a belly tickle. The location is great as you can walk 5 minutes and be at the main beach where there are lots of restaurants and bars.

    One of our favourite stays in Sri Lanka. We felt immediately welcomed by the wonderful hosts and were delighted with the room and space. The breakfast was fantastic and very comfy/ clean facilities. Great location too, we even decided to stay a 2nd night.

    I highly recommend staying at the Golden Town Hotel. The owners are incredibly helpful and courteous. They organized transportation for us, both for local sightseeing in a tuk-tuk to admire the turtles and for a trip to Udawalawe Park, as well as providing a guide for the park. They even arranged small details like a power adapter. Every morning, we were treated to a delicious breakfast, which we could schedule at our preferred time. On the day of our park visit, instead of breakfast, they provided a packed meal, and the owners woke up at 4 in the morning to see us off. Additionally, the owners run a convenience store, so if you need water or any other products, they are readily available, and you can trust that you won't be overcharged. They also have a restaurant on-site, offering the convenience of purchasing meals right at the hotel. A valuable note for us was that from the hotel, we went directly to Udawalawe Park, where the owner personally drove us. From the park, we continued our journey to Ella in different transportation. This meant we didn't have to waste time during our stay in Tangalle, allowing us to make the transfer seamlessly. While you can take buses from Tangalle to Ella, be prepared for one or two transfers, with Wellawaya being a definite stop. Additionally, in Sri Lanka, you can use the PickMe app, similar to Uber. To get to Tangalle from Colombo, we opted for private transportation, negotiating a lower price after being approached at the airport. We managed to bring the initial quote down by 70%.
