Uthaya, the host, is great. She was kind, and always helped us out. The breakfasts are tasty and generous, and she even sourced fresh mackerel and prawns to make us two delicious and very good value dinners. This is a small guesthouse with 3 rooms and a shared terrace with your own seating area amongst the garden. It is quiet, walkable to Nilaveli beach and lots of food and drink options nearby. We had a large air-conditioned room which was spotless and comfortable, with mosquito nets, though we actually weren't bothered by them. Thank you!

Our family (2+2) recently had the pleasure of staying at a fantastic resort in Sri Lanka, and I can't recommend it highly enough. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the incredibly hospitable family who runs the place. Their kindness and attentiveness made us feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious, offering a variety of local and international dishes that satisfied every palate. Each meal was a delightful experience, showcasing the rich flavors of Sri Lankan cuisine. The resort itself was impeccably clean and well-maintained. Our room was spotless and comfortable, providing a perfect retreat after a day of exploring. The attention to detail in the upkeep of the entire property was evident and greatly appreciated. Overall, our stay was an unforgettable experience, thanks to the wonderful hospitality, amazing food, and pristine conditions of the resort. We can't wait to return and would highly recommend this gem to anyone visiting Sri Lanka

The hotel is stunning, it feels very luxurious for a reasonable price for european standards. The staff is super friendly and helpful, especially the manager Shyakthi. We ended up staying 2 more nights. The biggest highlight was the private beach, we were there alone most of the time and the sea is perfect for swimming. The beach is equipped with sun beds and a shower. The hotel offers 4 course dinner for 7000 rupees per person and ayurvedic massage for 35 dollars. It is the perfect place if you want to relax in a beach resort.

The location in Nilaveli is perfect. The beach is 5 minutes walking. It's a very quiet area, perfect to relax. The home stay has a good vibes atmosphere, with a garden with "hamacas", and full day open kitchen. The staff was nice and friendly. The room was very cheap and it has all the basic things you may need. I arrived very early and they stored my luggage, also in the departure day.

Our hosts Sitthu, Vinoth and Justin took good care of us and we felt at home at Jeys Place ! We had the opportunity to discover some secrets of the Sri Lankan kitchen, the location of the place is nice and close to the beach and the garden is really nice to relax. We highly recommend staying here for having a nice stay in Nilaveli ! :)

We loved our stay here, it is a great hotel in a great location. We had a lovely room with a balcony overlooking the garden. The room had a fridge which kept my beer, and water icy cold. The pool is fab, quite big and really clean. The manager was lovely, he went out of his way to accommodate my husband’s dietary needs and got food in especially for him. The resort is a short walk from the beach and there are lots of great restaurants in the area too. There is also a wine shop just around the corner.

Hostel is run by a very friendly couple. The location is perfect - 2 minutes from the beach. You may select the room in the main house or a hut. Huts are better, but WIFi operates much worse so I decided to stay in the room in the house. Some rooms/ huts have fans, while the others are air- conditioned - more expensive, roughly + 50% of the basic price. The owner prepares good breakfast (Sri-Lanka type) for about 2 USD.

The location of this hotel on Nilaveli beach cannot be beaten. It is 100m down from the louder beach bars area - with all the local fishing boats in between. The pool is clean and large and the shaded palm tree area beside it is a beautiful place to sit in a hammock. The attractive huts on the hotels’ private beach area provide shade for the sun beds - the beach is clean and the sea great for body boarding (July). The staff are all friendly and some of them had a pro-active approach to the guests.
