Guest Reviews

• Liudmila (7/5): -
• Adrian (10/5): -
• Rebecca (9/5): Incredible value for money. - The host is very responsive, accommodating and kind. Breakfast was delicious and was made for the time you require. The value for money is insane! Water and other things available to buy at the property. Walk into Mirissa is around 25 minutes, there is a bus stop right next to the stay. WiFi didn’t work. You have to pay extra 500 rupees to use the gas and there was no fridge.
• Erdemli (9/5): -
• Giovanna (9/5): Polite, peaceful, central to everything I wanted, good value for the money - The location ticked all my boxes! Closed enough to both Mirissa and Weligama I was able to experience both in just 3 nights including parrot hill and coconut hill. The host are incredibly polite and suggested us the most amazing buffet restaurant and very cheap. I loved the house and the garden a true Sri Lankan home stay. The breakfast was delicious and differed It was hot in the room because no ac but with a cold shower I cooled myself down
• Melania (9/5): - Struttura nuova, spaziosa e molto pulita, personale molto accogliente e disponibile per ogni richiesta, colazione abbondante e molto buona!
• Weimer (9/5): -
• Faisal (10/5): -
• Giuseppe (10/5): Traumhafter Aufenthalt bei herzlicher Gastgeberin - Wir hatten einen absolut traumhaften Aufenthalt bei Praneeth! 💛 Praneeth ist so ein herzlicher und liebevoller Mensch – wir haben uns von der ersten Minute an willkommen und bestens aufgehoben gefühlt. Uns hat es an nichts gefehlt: Jeden Morgen wurden wir mit einem wunderbaren, frisch zubereiteten Frühstück verwöhnt, das keine Wünsche offenließ. Außerdem konnten wir direkt vor Ort einen Roller mieten, was perfekt war, um die umliegenden Städte und Strände auf eigene Faust zu erkunden. Die Unterkunft ist sauber ideal gelegen – einfach perfekt für einen entspannten Aufenthalt in Mirissa. Wir werden diese Zeit immer in bester Erinnerung behalten und können einen Aufenthalt bei Praneeth von Herzen weiterempfehlen. Vielen Dank für alles!
• Neus (9/5): Excel·lent - La Nishani ens va rebre amb te i galetes només arribar i en tot moment va ser molt atenta i agradable. Allà mateix vam poder llogar una scooter i fins i tot ens van ajudar a trobar un servei de taxi. Molt bona ubicació i habitació, amb un esmorzar boníssim i molt complet.
• Stefanie (9/5): - - Sehr hilfsbereite, offene Familie - häufig Tee, Bananen und Kekse umsonst - leckeres Frühstück - Sonderangebot für Roller, da wir nur eine Tour machen wollten - Arrangierte Schnorcheln mit Schildkröten Etwas eng mit zwei Backpacks im Zimmer
• Sara (7/5): Struttura su strada molto trafficata - La famiglia è accogliente, la stanza è pulita con le lenzuola e gli asciugamani in ordine. La colazione molto buona. La famiglia è stata molto gentile a lasciarci usare il gas, i condimenti e l’olio per cucinare la cena. Acqua calda in bagno La posizione. È veramente scomoda per chi ha intenzione di andare al mare a Mirissa poiché si affaccia sulla strada molto trafficata dove passa ogni tipo di mezzo giorno e notte. Di conseguenza non è una struttura silenziosa. Il tragitto a piedi o in bici non è sicuro poiché le auto corrono molto e ci sono curve pericolose. Nel bagno e nella stanza c’erano molte formiche, il che può dare fastidio. Manca la zanzariera sul letto che in certi casi può salvare il sonno.
• jean-michel (10/5): Inoubliable ! - En séjournant chez Praneeth, Nishani, leurs enfants et Ranjani, vous arrivez chez la plus formidable et adorable famille que vous puissiez rencontrer. Ils sont d'une gentillesse et d'une générosité incroyable. Nous avons vécu de très bons moments en leur compagnie : préparation de repas, visite de sa cocoteraie où nous avons goûté toutes sortes de fruits, visite du temple de Mulkirigala et de Parott Rock avec sa voiture. Que des moments incroyables et inoubliables. La cuisine de Nishani est excellente ! Si vous recherchez la qualité de la relation humaine, vous êtes au bon endroit et pour un prix défiant toute concurrence. Rien.
• Paula (8/5): M’ha agradat molt la gent que porta aquest allotjament. - M’ha agradat molt el personal. Lubicacio.
• Anne Virginia (8/5): - Eine sehr nette Familie, die sich sehr darum bemüht , dass es ein schöner Aufenthalt wird. Wir konnten sofort einchecken. Das Frühstück war sehr vielfältig und lecker!
• Mujtaba (9/5): Superb - Very nice Staff and they are very helpful Good value for the money Not very clean The location is a bit far if you don’t have a bike or tuktuk
• Mehran (10/5): Exceptional - It was a nice, comfortable, quiet, and clean place with a great location. The staff were friendly, kind, and helpful. I had a private room with air conditioning. The breakfast was good. There was an en-suite bathroom with hot water, and they also provided a towel and soap. The bed had clean sheets. I arrived early in the morning and was warmly welcomed. The location of the hostel is very convenient — it's right by the main road and close to the bus station, which is a big plus. The only negative point for me was the lack of a mosquito net for the bed, so travelers should definitely bring insect spray with them.
• Camille (9/5): Excellent value for money. I recommend ! - The house is close to the Polwathumodara Railway station (10min walk), to Mirissa beach and Weligama beach (5min tuktuk ride or bus). It’s situated in a quiet area, so you won't be disturbed by parties like in the city-centers. The room is on the ground floor, clean and spacious, the bed is very large and comfortable, with clean sheets. Plugs by the bed (2 types : round and rectangular). Not USB. There is a hanger for your clothes as well as a small table. Big fan working well. Windows with bars and a thin curtain so you can let them open at night to get some fresh air. The private bathroom is spacious as well, with new equipments and very clean. Water is cold, but after a day of walking around or tanning at the beach and sweating, you'll truly enjoy that cold shower ! Bath towel provided. Access to communal spaces : a large sheltered terrace with two tables where you'll take your breakfast and maybe dinner. Breakfast was delicious and very generous. They adapt if you're a vegetarian. I tried the dinner as well and it was amazing, very tasty, also very generous. Everything is homemade, traditional sri-lankan food, and she truly is a great cook ! The family was adorable, available and always ready to help and provide advices and tips. They can also arrange renting bikes or organizing excursions with discount prices. Thank you so much for the warm welcoming. I wish you the best! The pressure from the shower-head is a bit low, so when you have very thick and long hair like me (dreadlocks), it can be a little complicated and long to wash them. But this is a detail. Aside that, everything was PERFECT. Go for it.
• Johanna (10/5): Perfect Family run room - Lovely sweet family run b&b. We chose to store our bags there. Amazing price for short stay.
• Daniele (10/5): Exceptional - WONDERFUL!!! I’ve been traveling around Asia for 8 months, and this guesthouse is definitely in my top 3. The owners are awesome, super attentive to everything, and they make sure you have everything you need. You can join their tours at local prices and eat fish they cook themselves. It’s a place that really gave me peace and calm. The free breakfast in the morning is special!!! I’ll definitely be back!!! You guys are amazing! Thanks so much!!
• Sarah (10/5): Exceptional -
• Bachrach (10/5): Exceptional -
• Marvyn (9/5): Superb - A perfect stay! The family who welcomed us is absolutely lovely and very caring. We immediately felt at home. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Moreover, the location is ideal for exploring the region. A place we highly recommend and where we would gladly return!
• Joan (10/5): Exceptional - Highly recommended. The family is very attentive and helpful. A good breakfast, even adapted for celiac intolerance. Comfortable room with a large bed. The possibility of renting motorbikes at a very affordable price makes the location even better. Laundry service available.
• Jeppe (10/5): So cheap - Extreme value for money. The family is amazing. Wery friendly and helpfull. Great asian breakfast included in the price. . Good beach within 10min walk. We
• Paul (9/5): Superb - Very nice family, the room was clean and spacious, excellent breakfast. I recommend this place to have a good peaceful moment.
• Sandumini (10/5): Exceptional -
• Dilshan (8/5): Very good - This was a good place for the amount paid. Owners were very good and always ready to help. Better think on cleaness outside property
• Matthew (10/5): Exceptional - Very friendly, excellent breakfast, big smiles!
• Lucile (10/5): Lovely stay and amazing breakfast - Wow such a great stay at Dillenia canopy I have been amazed by the warm welcoming from the host. The facilities were what I needed! Clean and comfortable (the bed was huge) And such an amazing breakfast I had ! Thanks so much for the hospitality, I recommend this place.
• Leonardo (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing place, we felt it like home. The couple that owns it is so lovely and helpful. The breakfast is stunning and they can prepare you also a delicious dinner. We will come back for sure. Thank you!
• Owais (10/5): Value for money! Great host! - Absolutely the kindest, most warm-hearted, and humble host I've ever met! Our stay at Dillenia Canopy was truly wonderful. We were greeted with hot tea and biscuits, which were such a thoughtful touch after a long day of travel. The host even went out of his way to take my friend on his bike to pick up dinner from a nearby local restaurant—such a sweet gesture! The next morning, we were treated to a healthy breakfast with fresh fruit. He even plucked oranges from his backyard for us, since we were so excited to try fruit straight from the tree. Make sure to ask him for lunch for a lovely Sri Lankan home made meal for a very reasonable price. The room was cozy and comfortable, with a clean bathroom, and a private, peaceful sit-out area. It's a bit on the outskirts of Mirissa, so it's quiet and tranquil—perfect for relaxing. Plus, it's only about 90 meters from the Henwala junction bus stop, making it easy to travel to either side of the coast. He was also incredibly accommodating, letting us extend our checkout time until noon, which was much appreciated. All in all, if I ever return to Mirissa, Dillenia Canopy will be my go-to spot, and I’ll happily recommend it to everyone!
• Jeff (10/5): Great hosts, clean room and delicious breakfast! - The hosts were beyond lovely! They greeted us very warmly and were helpful with any and all requests we had. They helped us organize a scooter that we rented for the week. The best part was the breakfast they made for the 2 days we stayed there. The breakfast was on the top of the list of great meals we’ve enjoyed this far along our travels!
• Apoorva (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice room with reasonable price. As I was happy with their service I had booked the hotel again for my next day. Would definitely recommend it
• Apoorva (10/5): Exceptional - Hosts were very caring and served me with tasty homemade foods . And guided me for public transportation Rooms are clean and would definitely recommend for others. It's a good deal for reasonable price.
• Rhiannon (9/5): Superb - Great value accommodation with the sweetest host family! The room was spacious and the fan is powerful so it's cool enough to sleep at night. The included breakfast is very filling and the coconut pancakes were delicious. The WiFi was strong enough to stream videos which was fantastic. The location is just by a bus stop so very easy to get to, but far enough back from the main road that it is quiet. It's about 20-25 minute walk into Mirissa and to the beach that way, or just 10 minutes in the other direction to the end of Weligama beach. There are washing lines outside so best to ask to dry swimming clothes on there (I think the room was a little damp as clothes didn't dry inside) The perfect place to stay if you're wanting some peace away from the busy main strip of Mirissa! The mattress is quite thin so I didn't find the bed super comfortable but if you like a firm bed then it will be perfect for you!
• Maria (10/5): Good value for money! - The traditional Sri-Lanka breakfast is a nice detail from the lovely couple who run the home stay. All good.
• Santosh (5/5): Nice host, but place not ready for commercial use yet. - The family staff were really nice and pleasant. They answered all our questions and helped us with bus information and.local guidance.n The rooms are still under construction and not ready to be called a homestay yet. We were provided with a room that didn't without paint, unfinished walls. The toilet commode was shaking as soon as we sat.on it. The ceilings had holes left open for wiring. It just had basic stuff but totally uncomfortable. We requested for a room next to it which had tiles on the floor and a "better" room. The toilet commode was shaky here as well but that's the only choice we had in that situation. The outside area was full of flies that didn't let us eat out breakfast peacefully. Breakfast was decent. We asked them for eggs and they happily provided that.We changed our reservation from three days to two days. The family (husband and wife) were really nice and polite. In my opinion this place will be a decent place once the construction is completed (both inside and outside facilities) but we really felt at this point, this place is not worthy of staying as a homestay.
• Jonathan (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice host, nearby bus to waligama
• Rahul (8/5): Very good - I like this home stay for their exceptional service, Care, and tasty breakfast. I wouldn't miss an opportunity if I get to stay here again.
• Lotte (10/5): Exceptional - Really nice cozy home stay with family. The family is soo kind! Really good autentic food and they are willing to help you with everything. Hospitality is outstanding good! The rooms are really nice and worth the money. If you want an autentic experience in Marissa please stay here! I would definitely come back! Nothing
• Kordian (10/5): Exceptional - Very
• Laura (10/5): Beautiful home stay, welcoming helpful and accommodating, incredible food. Couldn’t recommend more -
• Simo (10/5): Must place to stay in Mirissa! - Beautiful and peaceful place, not so far from the center of Mirissa and Waligama beach. The family there is really helpful and friendly and the food is amazing!
• Marià (10/5): Exceptional - Simply amazing. Good people, good food, 100% Sri Lanka. If you want to live a real experience, this is your place in Mirissa, believe me. The service is incredible; kind and friendly, and they make you feel at home. My recommendation; if you are here, try it, and if you don't like it you can always change and go to one of these luxurious resorts that are not very personal and out of place. But try it, it's worth it. Thanks for everything!
• Diana (10/5): Exceptional - Staying here is more than just a room, the family is charming, you have the possibility of eating here and the taste of their preparations you have no idea, the location is perfect because it is between the middle of Weligama and Mirissa, it is a real experience with A family from Sri Lanka. I feel it like my second home. that you feel like you don't want to return to your country
• Joana (10/5): Best host and really kind family 🫶🏽 - Everything ! The room was big, new and super clean. The bed was really confortable, i got my own bathroom. The WiFi is good also. I really appreciate my time there. The family is so cute ! Always really helfull, love them ! I can't wait to come back again. The localisation its perfect for visit Mirissa and Weligama ✨️ Nothing ! Everything was so nice 🙏🏽
