The host (now my friend) with a big heart. Made my stay here very special. Thank you for everything I'd like to highlight the rooftop on an opwn air where I could practise and watch the starts.

The room I stayed in neighbored another and the wall in between our bathrooms didn’t go all the way to the top so you could see the light and also hear everything.

A very nice room (interior design-wise) compared to other homestays. The rooftop was very pretty, and the breakfast was amazing as is the owner. Highly recommended!

Very cool homestay, it's got a relaxing tropical vibe happening, breakfasts are the best local sri lankan food that I've eaten. Priyamtha, your host can help with many activities in the area, ext he is an absolute gem. The beach is a short walk around the corner with a few local juice bars and cafes for those looking for a genuine local experience with a warm and friendly host I recommend this guest house

- for me just that I was the only guest. So if you want your peace go there or bring a friend/partner

Would stay again :) thank you

This stay was very nice. The host was incredible and took wonderful care of us. The room is simple but tastefully decorated, and comfortable. The coconut shower head was a fantastic touch. ;) And when you open up the doors, it has an incredible nature feel. The included Sri Lankan breakfast was amazing, and the dinner he prepared for a very reasonable cost was similarly delicious. Nice variety after eating Indian food for the last few months. Note: it’s more of an open to the outdoors style room. You can close all the doors and windows, and be pretty snug, but don’t expect a hotel room feel. Small creatures can regularly go in and out. There’s a mosquito net over the bed, and we didn’t have any problems at all while we slept. Also, it gets pretty hot, especially if you close everything down to sleep like we did. The fan helps, but expect to be a little warm during the hot months. Worth it for the nature vibes.

Our recent stay at Passionfruit homestay was a really nice experience. From the moment we arrived we were welcomed like family . The room was clean and cozy, a cute balcony with jungle view. One of the highlights was the Sri Lankan dinner and breakfast homemade from our host Bianca who didn’t stop to feed us all the time. Thank you also Yan for your recommendations and your help.

Nice open space, with place to relax. A lot of green and a welcoming vibe. Beaches are close and the supermarket as well.

Very nice host, delicious breakfast

There is a slight partition between one of the bathroom walls and ceiling so you can hear everything that is going on in the communal area of the apartment and vice versa.

The layout of the accommodation was really nice. The host was very attentive and made sure we had a good time there.

Very nice owner and delicious local breakfast. Rooms were basic but comfy.

The only downside is lack of Wi-Fi

I spend at Passionfruit one night only but it was very pleasant! Quiet location with short walk to the beach, beach bars and few shops. Room was clean with simple aesthetic decor and own balcony where you can observe animals (few peacocks may show up if you’re lucky) Hospitality of host and his family is heartwarming ♥️ definitely worth recommending. You can ask host anything and he will help to the best of his ability. Thank you!

Priyanthe is an excellent host. The place on its self is very basic (no AC, no hot water), but it is clean and has everything one needs (a personal bathroom, and a simple room with fan and a comfy bed with mosquito net). He and his family prepared us an amazing breakfast, with fruits, eggs, bread, dhal and coconut rice, with fresh coconut water and tea. He was always very supportive, drove us around with his Tuk Tuk, showed us the plants he grows on his terrace and shared with us some interesting insights on the country and on his personal life and future plans. He is a dog lover and takes care of street dogs.

This place was amazing, I highly recommend staying there. The host is very kind and helpful. He prepares very good breakfast (included in the price) and can also bring you around with the tuk. The place is pretty, comfortable, clean and has a very good location.

Had a good stay 😊

There were quite some ants in the bathroom, but that is Sri Lanka ;)

Priyantha was really going the extra mile to make my stay as comfy as possible. He picked me up on the way to the accommodation, offered me a fresh welcome drink and showed me around the nearby beaches. On the next morning, he even gave me a lift to the bus station to make sure I get the right bus to Tangalla. I also enjoyed the delicious homemade Sri Lankan breakfast and dinner (4USD) with portions that would serve more than one person. The upcycled coconut elements in the bathroom and the rooftop were quite unique. Sleeping with the sounds of the jungle was also a nice experience. I can definitely recommend staying at Passionfruit Homestay!

Prianta is very welcoming. He showed me around the area the day I arrived and it was very helpful. The food is amazing. Some different kind of local curry I had never tried. I got put on the bus I needed when leaving. No stress to find it by myself. I recommend and would go back again ! Thank you so much for everything

A hidden pearl in Madhia. We have so much positive to say about this place. First of all, the host Priyantha and his family took such good care of us, always making sure we were good. Priyantha often said “If you’re happy I’m happy, if you’re not happy I’m not happy”. And we really want to emphasize how amazing the food we got served here was! We’ve been in Sri Lanka for a while now, and no this is by far the best local food we’ve had..!! The rooms are also very nice and fresh, and they also have a great roof top! Thank you for now, we are really looking forward to coming back to this place:)

Very good food, perfect location to go to the surf spots

This was one of our favorite homestays on our trip threw Sri Lanka. The rooms where super nice and clean, the food was the best of the whole trip and the owner Priyantha is the kindest person we have ever met! The Homestay is situated in a super calm area, very close to the beach and has a super cool rooftop chill area! The view is a amazing from up there, plants everywhere even a yoga area!! Super cute place we can highly recommend :)

Breakfast was really really good. The owners of the guesthouse does everything to satisfy their guests. It is a real good alternative to the expensive hostels in the district. I'll come again!

Such a lovely homestay in Madhia, great location not far from the beach! The friendliest host and the best home cooked breakfast!
