- Review: Nice and comfy room. Beautiful garden with many beautiful birds and other wildlife. Close to the beach. Plus is for the distance to Galle Road (which is very noisy). The dinner was good, but far from great. The curry’s are way to salty. Same as for the breakfast (don’t try the chocolate pancakes). Beautiful place and very friendly staff. - Big minus for the hotels own landfill that you see if you take a walk outside the fences. They should really clean that up. Not ok! , by John

- Review: "Stayed for two weeks in September 2023. For starters, the host family at Talalla Freedom are wonderful. Helpful, friendly, adjusted to my food allergies, went over and beyond. Rs 250 for a pot of fresh tea. The pool is lovely and well kept, the view and access to Talalla beach is phenomenal (as long as you don't have any mobility issues. Beds are Sri Lanka firm but comfy. You can sit in a nice recliner with your tea and watch the monkeys walk by. The birds in the area are beautiful. Be aware..., by Jana

There is a fan but not a/c and during the night it is quite hot. Only cold water. There is a mosquito net but it is too short so mosquitoes get in the sleeping area. Basic breakfast with bread, jam, bananas and tea. They could provide sri Lankan breakfast if requested. It is possible to use a sort of sun bed provided at the first..., by Valentina

- Review: The property has been immaculately restored. It is clean, bright, quiet, beautiful and most importantly has a warmth and charm to it that is uniquely Sri Lankan. Damien, the manager, went above and beyond to take care of me and my friend. I very much appreciated his attention to detail and timeliness...a rare commodity on the SL hospitality circuit. The food was fantastic as well! I highly recommend a stay for a few nights and I certainly would love to revisit., by Anonymous traveller, December 19, 2018, rated 10/10 Excellent
Lotus Grand Rest
- Location: Mirissa
- Review: My sister and i had such an amazing time at this homestay. The hosts were so kind, the room was spotless and very big. It didn’t have air conditioning, however we didn’t find it too hot with the fans! The bathroom was great, good shower and the location was quiet and peaceful. It’s a short walk to the Main Street but still close to many restaurants and coconut hill. Thank you again for having us! :), by Kaitlyn, January 12, 2026, rated 10/10 Excellent
Sky Garden Mini Hotel
- Location: Mirissa
- Review: Everything was great! Check in was really, which is a nice bonus. The hotel was close to everything (the beach, the town centre, restaurants) without being on the main busy road. And a great price for what you get. The shower was finicky though - super hot and we couldn't figure out how to change the temp., by Catherine, December 10, 2025, rated 10/10 Excellent

The beach is less than a 5 minute walk in one direction and the main road with everything you could ever want for food is a quick 3 minute walk in the other direction The best part about this hotel is the owner Sajeewani, she is the most kind and sincere person ever. She honestly welcomes you as if you're part of her family. The included breakfast is amazing and you're guaranteed..., by Ronan, September 14, 2026, rated 10/10 Excellent

Sam's Guest House
- Location: Unawatuna
- Review: I had one of my best stays in Sri Lanka at Sam’s! The host was sooo friendly, attentive and helpful. The rooms were clean, bed comfortable, AC and WiFi worked well, bathrooms were big and water was hot! Absolutely amazing stay for the price, I was worried about everyone saying the street was loud but it wasn’t bad at all when we went to bed around 1030-11pm, everything quieted down. Overall my favorite stay in Sri Lanka, highly recommend staying here, by mariah, February 21, 2025, rated 10/10 Excellent
