Samudra Guest House

Property very close to the beach with a view to the small garden. Outside of a room is a table where you can eat and sit at the evening. Very big comfy bed. Kettle with tea available, also b-fast at ones wish. There is an fan at the ceilling which for me was good to cool down the hot nights. Extremely nice and helpful owners but in a very kind and subtle way. Helping when you need help but not pushy in any way. They can organise safari at closest National Park in Udawalawe with secure car and jeep drivers or drive you anywhere closeby with tuk tuk.

This wonderful little gem, run by the sweetest family, was exactly what I was looking for. Warmly recommend!! The family was some of the best people I've met on all my travels, in full honesty. As I was moving out, they were installing brand new AC's in all the rooms btw! Do visit! Victor

Very kind, helpful and respectful family. They tried their best to accommodate our needs.

No comment.

Great location a few minutes walk to the beach. Quiet location. Very friendly, helpful hosts. Large, clean and tidy room with a comfortable big bed.

Simple guest house, close to beach. Good value for money in Mirissa. Lovely family, very helpful, can help organise trips and Mum Cooked a lovely evening meal. AC worked well.

Some noise from bars and street,

Location is super convenient with the beach and restaurants around the corner and shops just up the road. Air con worked well. Ask for the curry with rice and fried onion and chilli breakfast. The best thing I ate in Mirissa.

There are gaps at the edges of the ceiling all around the room. No safety deposit box as listed. Have to pay for all bottled water, although this seems standard in Sri Lanka. Wifi doesn’t work inside the room (fine out on the balcony). Also seems common in Sri Lanka. I can’t really complain about the level of hospitality, but I found it unnecessarily awkward and invasive at times. Although I booked for one adult, it was meant to be a “deluxe double room”, yet only had one pillow. Aldo only had a wafer thin blanket that wasn’t even a double size for linen. Towels are older than the ones my mum has from my childhood in storage. The owners tried a couple of times to upsell me to extend my stay and I was told we could “modify the booking and get some discount.” I didn’t accept as I got the vibe they might be trying to book extra business while trying to avoid paying some Booking fees and I didn’t appreciate them suggesting my plans to see other spots nearby and in Colombo weren’t good, so I should stay longer there (I had already booked for one week). I ended up paying for the full booking, but leaving two nights early and moved to Hikkaduwa.

+ friendly older people and their son + they try best for the older standard

- noisy (dogs), noisy (cars), noisy (party next hotel) - moldy bits and pieces

Very welcoming family. Large spacious room and bed. Hot shower, aircon and fan. Breakfast was brought up to my balcony in the morning which was lovely. Always happy to help with booking trips and arranging transport. Many thanks !
