Private room in Midigama
4.87 out of 5 average rating, 30 reviewsPlantation surf inn - Double Room Seaview balcony
RoxyRating, 5 stars3 months ago
We had a wonderful stay! The accommodation was super comfortable and flexible. For New Year’s, we joined everyone for dinner, which was delicious and such a cozy experience. Later, we walked to a small club called “Lazies,” where a great DJ was playing at the rooftop bar—such a fun vibe! The location is close to the beach with a nice surf atmosphere. The room was clean and tidy. Highly recommend!

Guesthouse in Nuwara Eliya

KomalRating, 5 stars4 months ago
The house was very beautiful, amazing views of the lake Gregory, mountains and perfect spot to view sea plane landing. Our family loved it. Kitchen could be equipped more with spoons, utensils etc. Pradeep and his Mom were very helpful. Bathroom could be more clean and glass doors need to be revamped as the water came out while taking shower. Perfect house for our Christmas gateway. Thanks.

Guesthouse in Hikkaduwa
4.64 out of 5 average rating, 88 reviewsSelf-catering cottage/aircon/WiFi. Close to beach.
VitaliiRating, 5 stars2 months ago
First of all, I liked the location, a very nice beach, close to everything you need, cafes, restaurants, coffee shops, a store, a pharmacy, a hospital and even a police station. Very nice and kind, not intrusive hosts. We were worried that the train and the temple would interfere with our vacation, but we did not hear the temple ever, and the train only during the day, but it drove so quickly that we did not always understand that it was him. Very friendly hosts, treated us to coconuts and bananas, it was a pleasure.

We really enjoyed our stay with Sharmini!! She was a lovely host that made us feel right at home, with recommendations on what to do and where to eat. Highlight was the meal she cooked for us and the tea. She helped us coordinate pick ups/drop offs and guided us to the bus station. Made us feel very safe. Highly recommend

BeatriceRating, 5 stars2 days ago
Nimal’s place is absolutely perfect if you intend on climbing Adam’s Peak. It is literally about a 10 min walk from the entrance. Nimal is very warm and friendly, cooking us a delicious breakfast in the morning once we returned from the peak. The bedrooms are simple but perfectly fine. They are clean and comfortable which is the most important thing! There are loads of restaurants nearby too so great for grabbing a drink or some dinner. Excellent value for money too. Thank you for a great stay!

JohnRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Samantha and Kauchi were the perfect hosts. On arrival were were given welcome drinks and Kauchi informed us of the local attractions, including the Hurulu eco park (where we visited and saw loads of wild elephants extremely close up and virtually deserted apart from 2 jeeps), Polonnaruwa, Sigiriya and pidurangala. The room was lush, the pool cooling in the heat, and the bird life amazing! We ate traditional breakfast in the train hut whilst the train drop off people (it's a delight to watch). We also had some of the best home cooked food we tried in Sri Lanka, fresh as it can be. We felt so well looked after, cared for, and relaxed in this chilled out environment. It's virtually a deluxe homestay, but more! Their ethos of living of their land with minimal waste was inspirational. I will remember the great chats had with Kauchi who's English is excellent. Out of the 8 places we stayed in Sri Lanka over 18 days this place is equal first 🥇 place. Thank you so much everything team 🙏 x

Guesthouse in Wattegama
4.79 out of 5 average rating, 19 reviewsDomaine de Bellevue
SarahRating, 5 stars81 months ago
Although our stay was only two nights (not long enough!) we loved staying here. Being in the jungle hills, at the edge of a nature reserve, the views and scenery was so lovely. Valerian, Laure and their family (including the dogs) were so welcoming from the beginning. We had a fun tour of their spice garden from their youngest son and even had homemade pizza one night. The place is quite tricky to get to in the dark - we reccommend looking for “Domaine De Bellevue” on Google Maps. Would love to stay again!

Guesthouse in Maaliyadda
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 11 reviewsGaia Soul - Surf & Skate
VictoriaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Gaia Soul was actually the reason we wanted to go to Sri Lanka. And — (even though we never travel to the same places again) Gaia Soul will be the reason we have to go back. The pool and the skate ramp were so much fun. There are a lot of different hang out zones, so you will always find a comfortable spot. The place is so tidy and clean at all times. The exterior is really nice with the concrete and the orange and pink flowers. The garden areas are taken care og daily. There is a beautiful beach 5 minute walking distance. You can order food all day from the neighbour restaurant, that serves delicious traditional Sri Lankan food. (You have to try the curry with coconut sambol and the breakfast pancakes) Sanduni and her team will take care of you from you arrive until departure. We had two morning yoga sessions with Sarka. She is a great yoga teacher. It felt so special to just walk to the open jungle yoga studio in the beautiful wild surroundings. Thank you so much Baxter!

We had a fantastic stay at Villa H Wagolla! The place is beautifully scenic and peaceful. The staff were incredibly helpful and attentive, and the food was absolutely delicious — highly recommend dining in. The host was very responsive and made everything smooth. It’s also just a short drive from Sigiriya, which was super convenient. Would definitely recommend!

Guesthouse in Usmudulawa
4 out of 5 average rating, 9 reviewsGarland Guest House
MatheusRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This is by far the best Airbnb experience I had, Shashika made all the difference on my stay, upon arrival I met him and his family organizing the house for our arrival, really kind and sweet people who later received us for an amazing lunch. Anything I would need for my stay Shashika was up to assist, from renting a bike to an additional fan I got within an hour. The house is beachfront and it’s really private and peaceful there, the morning walks were amazing. There’s a beachfront restaurant 5 minutes walking from the beach which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. In adicional shashika’s family offers breakfast which we ordered and it was great. The suits are comfortable with AC and comfortable beds. Nothing to complain but just to thank for the great hospitality trough the week.
