It was a very clean and spacious room equipped with a double luxury bed, and the bathroom extensive as well. I love the location, the distance to the Kallady beach from Coastal Villa 300 metres and the colour of seawater is superblue to swim 🏊‍♀️. Coastal Villa provides delicious food that we need with the special menu, and the money is worth it 👌. A kind family looked-after us earnestly we thank for them ❤️ Highly recommended 👍.

Ashok has created these bungalows with thought and care. Providing a proper bed mattress and a fridge (yah), which are hard to find in Sri Lanka guesthouses. Nice and new comfy accommodation with a semi open bathroom, so no issues with humidity, etc. This care extends to Ashoks customer service and cooking. The location is a very short stroll to Passikudah Beach.

The location is very calm and quiet. The apartment is surrounded by a nice garden. The apartment is very clean and modern. The entire staff took extremely good care of me and has assisted me with any kind of request (from booking a Tuk Tuk/bike, to preparing very reach and tasty breakfast/lunches/dinners). They were very nice and gentle.

Neem Forest GH is somewhat outside the city but only a short tuktuk ride away. As a result it is a beautifully peaceful and extremely quiet location. Dawn chorus of birds was amazing. The host was extremely helpful and ready to talk about all matter of subjects. The Sri Lanken breakfast was always too much and the host made sure it was always different. Nearby is the many kilometer long sand beach (no other tourists) where you watch the fishermen pull in their nets of caught fish. Meem Forest is highly recommended.

A superb location right by the sea. The owner is exceptionally friendly and accommodating, making the stay even more enjoyable. The breakfast provided is unparalleled, surpassing any other encountered during the entire journey. Additionally, there is a stunning beach just a stone's throw away, adding to the allure of the accommodation.
