Nest Inn

Babel était un très bon hôte, serviable et consciencieux, m’a servi à dîner et m’a amené à la station de bus

Il faut marcher quand même une dizaine de minutes pour accéder à la plage par une route principale mais cela n’est pas dérangeant

Sehr nettes Personal super freundlich und hilfsbereit haben alles getan damit wir uns wohlfühlen haben sofort den Wasserhahn und die Toilette repariert bekommen wir hatten ausversehen ein Zimmer ohne Klima gebucht haben ein Zimmer mit Klima bekommen mussten auch nicht um 10 Uhr auschevken

Etwas staubig Küche war nicht recht sauber aber man hat sich sofort drum gekümmert

Die Lage der Unterkunft ist perfekt mit einem wunderschönen Strand, einen Supermarkt und leckeren Restaurants in der Nähe. Zudem ist der Host äußerst freundlich, lustig und gibt einem ein familiäres Gefühl.

El personal muy amable desde el primer momento. Tuvimos un problema con un grifo, nos dieron otra habitación e igualmente a los 5 minutos lo estaban cambiando. Tiene algun restaurante cerca a pie de playa y opciones de restaurantes al rededor

La ventana del baño no cerraba y entraban mosquitos, hay que cerrar la puerta del baño todo el rato. La zona no está mal, pero no es tan céntrica como más al norte

1. Location close to the centre and close to the beach

1. In the room it’s impossible to charge the phone or anything else, because the plugs are not compatible with the world wide adapter. There is only one working plug in the kitchen outside the room. 2. Our room was full of mosquitos and without mosquitoes net. 3. It is impossible to adjust the fan’s speed which was too strong, noisy and annoying. We couldn’t sleep. 4. During the night we wrote a message to the owner explaining the issue, but he answered the day after in the evening saying sorry. 5. It was very difficult to communicate whit the owner. 6. For these reasons we left the room the day after, even if we had paid for 2 nights.

The hostel is on one of the main streets, but the rooms are quiet. There is access to a fridge, stove and sink. There is a large table with chairs in the living room. Great internet - which is not common in Sir Lanka. Location close to the beach. The host is open and communicative - he is happy to talk about local customs, people, culture...

There are no mosquito nets (neither on the windows nor over the beds), which is a bit inconvenient. It could be a bit cleaner (in the room, e.g. the sink and in the kitchen). However, the biggest problem turned out to be bedbugs, which bit us severely for two nights (it was not a one-time incident). But we reported it to the host and showed him - he seemed concerned about this fact - we believe that he will take care of eliminating this problem. With great sympathy for this place and the host

When we arrived, we asked about hot water, and the owner explained that due to the local weather and piping, it wasn’t originally provided nor advertised online. However, the same day, he went out, bought, and installed a boiler and the shower we preferred, which exceeded all our expectations!!! The host, Babu, is extremely kind and prepares a solid breakfast to your liking. He also offered us free transport multiple times. They have two friendly dogs and a cat, adding to the charm. The accommodation is simple, like a hostel, but definitely a good option for staying especially for adventurous couples and backpackers. BTW local beach is totally close to the accommodation.

The rooms and toilets are small and very basic, and some extra cleaning would be a plus.
