    Food was very expensive compared to other areas in Sri Lanka, but it seems to be in keeping with prices in SK town.

    - Location is right on the beach - Brilliant kitchen with everything you could need - Super clean, everything is spotless - Family are lovely and give you your space

    Nothing, maybe only we didnt stay longer

    If you are looking for homestay where you'd feel like the member of family, this is the place. Lucky and his lovely family are very nice people. Owner speaks very good english and share many tips for holiday in srilanka (what a pitty we didnt met him at the beginning of our holiday). Lucky's daughter was taken care of our 5y old daughter, she really loves her and miss her from then. I recommend to pay fee for kitchen, it is super equipped with everything you would need. Whole house is super clean, even outside you could literaly eat from the floor :). Location is nice as it is few steps from the beach. Rooms are quiet, no noice from the street.

    GREAT OWNER

    The owner Lucky is probably the most honest person I have met in Sri Lanka. His pure soul is something different. He arranges whatever you need - taxi, safi, trips - just check on board outside the apartment. He has lot of contacts over the whole island, we have been like 3 hours from his appartment and he was able to arrange taxi back to his location in 5 minutes - we had to get back due to floodings and train cancelations in Ella. I had also some infection in ear, so Lucky took me to doctor, we didnt have to wait there hours and this helped me a lot. If I have not met this guy, I dont know what I would do. Biggest props to you Lucky, see you soon!

    I really can't recommend this place highly enough, the host is incredibly friendly and a very genuine man. The room was perfect and so clean, the bed was huge and incredibly comfy. Ac was very good too., the kitchen is great. It really did feel like a homestay. I recommend this place to anyone coming through the area.

    Nothing! Everything was perfect.

    Lucky and his wife are the best hosts you can imagine! They do everything to make your stay as good as possible. Everything is very clean, they have a little kitchen you can use, space for your wet clothes, outdoor shower, etc... really everything you need! The breakfast was incredible good and very much. Also had dinner once, which was also really delicious and more than enough. The beach is only 1 min away by foot. I stayed there twice during my stay in Sri Lanka. It's the best place, when you are in SK Town. I will definitely come back! Thank you Lucky!

    Our stay at Guillet Beach Home was amazing. We loved staying at the family, who took very good care of us. The location is very near the beach, the room was big and comfy, and the breakfast and diner were amazing. Recently, they've improved their wifi, it worked well! Enjoy your stay here, you'll love it.

    Everything was fine

    Lovely place in SK Town We loved Guillet beach home hosted by Lucky, with his lovely wife and daughter. Very welcoming, always there to help if we needed anything. The rooms are very clean and comfortable, bigger than shown on the pictures. A/C, hot water, everything you need. The kitchen facilities were perfect, with a fridge and all cookware we needed. They provided us spices. For this honest price you get quality and a calm environment. Thank you Lucky and thanks to your family. 🙏🏻

    A warm, friendly, ideally-located place brimming with hospitality
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveler
    • Family Room with Bathroom
    • Stayed 4 nights

    I can't think of anything.

    Value: Not “cheap” but far less expensive than the neighboring hotels and guesthouses. If you value cleanliness and warm hospitality you will appreciate how Guillet House excels at these. Location: Half a block from the beach and surf yet removed enough from the road to minimize traffic and people noise. A note for budget travelers: groceries and simple food is available about two blocks walk to the main road. Accommodation: A small house with 3 or 4 very, very clean, simple rooms with all furnishings, appliances and decorations in great shape. The beds are comfortable and not cheap foam. The Fan, AC and hot water worked flawlessly and were probably brand new. A clean, well-stocked kitchen is available but heavy users may need to pay for propane. Staff: This is a family home that guests are welcomed into. Lucky and his wonderfully-welcoming family are always attentive and making efforts to accommodate their guests. There are many repeat visitors here for a reason- Lucky and his family take great care and pride in providing hospitality, food and good cheer. Lucky also provides transport and tours in his spotless tuk tuk or in a car (to or from the airport in Colombo).

    Comfortable but a bit slimy

    There are cameras everywhere, which is a little creepy, to the point where I checked the room for cameras (there were none). There are a bunch of small charges for using gas, or water bottles etc. with signs that "X is very expensive". Maybe but other places don't charge as much so a bit misleading at best. He tried to charge us double the price for a tuktuk ride and seemed 'surprised' when we said we knew that wasn't the real price.

    Location was excellent
