Happy Man Village

We loved everything about the property, right from the check in, to check out.. the family who is running the property are exceptionally sweet and helpful. Food is so delicious and the rooms and facilities are mind blowing. It was like home away from home. Haven’t been so comfortable on any trip as much as we were at happy man village. Three cheers for Su & his family!! Very well kept property. Highly highly recommended!!

There is nothing to not like about the property.

Room 10/10 (clean/spacious/comfortable bed) Bathroom 9/10 (clean/warm water) Dining area 10/10 (spacious/outdoor open to the garden) Swimming pool 10/10 Location 10/10 (quite place/near to kosgoda beach you can walk or ask them to drop you by tuk tuk) Family owners were very kind and won't let you feel uncomfortable they always approach you before you ask and will start conversations with you and make you feel like you are at home They have a wonderful river safari you can watch the local and the tropical immigrant birds and not to forget the breathtaking sunset (its a must to take the tour you wont regret it)

The room is semi-outdoor, but you get the privacy if you don't mind some birds watching you taking a shower and some mosquitoes joining you 😅

A hidden gem. Great place. Staff very attentive and helpful. Great dinning experience.

The room was big, but dark. You may open window shutters but it will become hot as there are no windowpanes. Breakfast was very good. There is a very big and nice swimming pool. I didn't like the location itself as it seems it doesn't offer basically any good dinner options in the close neighbourhood. The hotel offers a dinner option but in my option it is quite expensive, 10USD per person might be too much if you want to eat there every day. In general, very good but in my opinion too expensive for what it offers.

The swimming pool was clean and big. Staff, especially Baba, was so helpful and attentive. Women of the house were kind and hospitable. We liked the garden too. We rented a scooter from them as the location is a bit tricky.

We were charged 10 dollars each for vegetarian curry. And it was the highest we paid in sri lanka.In the sheraton Hotel opposite the main road you can eat amazing curry for 1300 rupees each. That was really disappointing.

Sulalitha and his entire family are great hosts, very helpful, discreet and authentic. The garden is well maintained and the bungalows are very spacious and clean. What stood out the most was the delicious food, cooked according to my spice tolerance and a highlight of my short stay was the sunset catamaran ride on the river. I was looking for nature, peace and tranquillity and this is exactly the place where to find it. Hope to come back again!

We have returned to this hotel for the second time. Both times we felt as if we had not arrived at a hotel, but as guests. The hosts' hospitality and unobtrusive care made it possible to completely relax. Great attention to detail. The culinary skills of the hostess delighted us at breakfast, lunch and dinner, very tasty food and huge portions. We have never tasted such good food anywhere else in Sri Lanka. A wonderful large area surrounded by nature allowed us to feel the true beauty and authenticity of Sri Lanka. European perception of cleanliness and order. We were very lucky - the hosts invited us to watch a night visit of a turtle on the coast nearby. This hotel is the best choice in Sri Lanka, we hope we will have the opportunity to come back here again.

Everything was wonderful.

Highly recommended. The place is spectacular, the rooms are spacious, very clean and with an open bathroom, surrounded by nature. The garden and pool are very well maintained. The owners are great people, very friendly and nice. They welcomed us with great affection. The food they offered us was delicious. They gave us a tour with their catamaran on the river and accompanied us to visit the temple. We will repeat without a doubt.
