One of our best stay in Sri Lanka, is like to stay in some family home, the host is absolutely nice, best breakfast so far in Sri Lanka. Maybe is a bit far from the town, but actually you get there super easy. We could enjoy the beach in front because of the season, but sure is a nice stay for the summer.

I recently stayed at the Nirosha Guest House and had a wonderful experience. The hotel offers incredibly affordable rates per night, making it a great choice for budget-conscious travelers. Despite the low cost, the quality of service and amenities exceeded my expectations. One of the highlights of my stay was the clean swimming pool.

This accommodation is unique. The view is breathtaking, the ocean is very close so you can hear the waves all the time and have the feeling that was not enough:)There is a very nice vibe there.

The family was really frendly. The owner took the time to drive is to the town to bye some srilankan spises and gifts. She made us srilankan tea and really tasty meals. We also took cooking class which was very fun for the whole family. The place is really nice decorated and the best bed. The room was climated and we could use the kitchen. We would come again and they have our recommendation.

I really loved the family that did their best for me every morning and made a vegan breakfast specially for me. It was a big room with a fan which was perfect at night. They've been very kind and I've had the feeling of home for the 3 nights I spend here. And the chameleons that I saw during breakfast where a very pleasant surprise. Thank you for everything!

The room was super nice, quiet, and with the air conditioning always comfortably cool. Ravi, the host, takes very good care of his guests and makes you feel very welcome. Breakfast is served on the balcony with a lovely view and includes a wide variety of fresh fruits, tea, toast and so much more. The guest house is perfectly located as it's close to everything you could want and need. All in all we had a wonderful time and can't recommend the guest house enough.

    I had an excellent stay at this guest house. Its proximity to a major highway interchange made travel easy, yet the surrounding greenery provided a peaceful and quiet atmosphere. The place was impeccably clean, and the breakfast was both delicious and affordable. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this guest house for its convenience, cleanliness, tasty breakfast, and warm hospitality. I'll definitely return.

    Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 362 reviews
    Love this place, relaxed vibe, clean, comfortable rooms, lovely friendly, quietly attentive staff, good food in a fantastic roof terrace restaurant, lovely spaces to hang out. Our host could not have been more accommodating or kind. The location is perfect to catch sunsets and sea breeze and an easy walk to sights, shops & cafes. Monkeys, iguanas, kingfishers and the hilarious crows hanging out too (not in the property!) Everything you'd want of a guesthouse. Highly recommend
