Guest Reviews

• Gianluca (4/5): Schön aber aufpassen dass man nicht abgezockt wird - ich bin enttäuscht - Insgesamt schöne Location und freundliches Personal. Frühstück ist lecker und vielseitig. Passt auf euer Geld auf! Beim Check-out wurden uns Leistungen verrechnet, die nie bezogen wurden. Besonders fragwürdig: meiner Partnerin wurden glutenhaltige Lebensmittel belastet, obwohl sie an Zöliakie leidet – faktisch ausgeschlossen. Reklamationen wurden zunächst vertröstet und erhielt keine Rückmeldung mehr auf meine Anfrage. Nach erneuter Nachfrage wurde mir später zwar eine Rückerstattung zugesichert, diese ist bis heute nicht erfolgt. Für mich ein klarer Fall von mangelnder Professionalität und fehlender Transparenz. Angesichts des ohnehin eher hohen Preises sehr enttäuschend.
• Isabell (10/5): - Die Unterkunft war super schön und sehr ruhig. Ein richtig toller Ort zum abschalten, mit leckerem Essen, sehr zuvorkommendem Personal und Yoga. Im Zimmer wären mehr Ablagemöglichkeiten für Kleidung geschickt.
• Azar (9/5): Super ästhetische, nette Unterkunft um Matara zu entdecken - Das generelle Design war sehr ansprechend, alles war extrem sauber, sowohl die Zimmer als auch die tolle Außendusche und der Pool. Das Bett war außerdem super bequem. Die Lage war schön, in einer Wohnsiedlung, weswegen es extrem ruhig war, man war aber trotzdem in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Strand und zu Restaurants. Das Frühstück war super lecker mit frischen Zutaten, vorallem das Obst war toll. Das Staff war sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Ein kleiner Kritikpunkt wäre, dass ein großer Spiegel gefehlt hat wobei es im Zimmer einige freie Wände dafür geben würde. Der Schrank hatte oben zwar eine Ablagemöglichkeit (Neben Hängemöglichkeiten) aber diese war so hoch dass man sie nicht nutzen konnte. Die Zimmer sind sehr klein aber die Sauberkeit und das gemütliche Bett haben das ausgeglichen.
• Talena (9/5): Kommen gerne wieder! - Sehr toll!! Tolle Atmosphäre, Yoga 🧘 und tolle Anlage
• Stuart (10/5): Wonderfully chilled out place to stay near to the beach but just far enough away from the restaurants and bars to keep i - Wonderful tranquil setting 10-15 minute walk to the beaches and plenty of restaurants / bars. Chilled out vibe. Beautifully designed and decorated. Great food. Really friendly hosts and staff. Nothing
• Amy (10/5): -
• Eva (10/5): - Beautiful location with nice interior, great breakfast and really friendly staff! Also they have great yoga classes you can join! Would love to come back.
• Lucas (10/5): Traumhaft stylisches Hotel/Café bietet pure Erholung - Stylisches Hotel und leckeres Café -
• MATS (10/5): -
• Gerardo (10/5): - Sehr ruhige Lange. Ein kleines Stück Paradies.
• Ann-Christin (10/5): Highly recommended! Beautiful area! - Great design, very friendly service, good food, awesome yoga shala! Nothing, everything was great!
• Patrícia (9/5): - A tranquilidade, a arquitetura e bom gosto com que está decorado, piscina muito boa, pequeno almoço excepcional e simpatia de todo o staff. O bar fecha cedo (4.30PM), não tendo acesso a qualquer bebida ou comida e também não tem mini bar no quarto. Também achámos um pouco desagradável cobrarem a substituição por leite vegetal do pequeno almoço, estando este incluido na estadia.
• Guillaume (10/5): Expérience incroyable! - L’emplacement, le lieu, le personnel, le petit déjeuner, parfait! Rien du tout
• Nidhi (10/5): Extremely lovely staff, home feel, luxury - Gorgeous buildings, gorgeous rooms. Extremely well kept. Lovely pool, yoga area. Nothing.
• Maëva (10/5): Sublime hôtel à Polhena, excellent rapport qualité/prix - ABSOLUMENT TOUT ! Cet hôtel est une petite merveille. Il est idéalement situé au calme. Les chambres sont très bien isolées, décorées avec goût et très pratique! La douche et baignoire sont à l'extérieur mais la double vasque et les toilettes en intérieur, ce qui est fort appréciable avec les grosses chaleurs et pour éviter au maximum les moustiques. Tout était parfait, la nourriture et les boissons du café de l'hôtel sont très bons (je vous conseille leur Cinnamon Roll et leur chaï latte), le personnel était sympa, la piscine est super propre et les sacs de sable pour se prélasser super confortables. Les chambres sont faites par le personnel tous les jours, les serviettes (bain et piscine) changées si besoin Le petit déjeuner est super bon et la carte top. Rien du tout, tout était parfait. A la fin du séjour, je ne voulais plus partir !!
• Filippa (9/5): -
• Florian (10/5): Liebevoll, ruhig, exklusiv, strandnah, herzlich - Ein wunderschönes kleines Hotel mit unglaublich viel Liebe zum Detail. Die Zimmer sind extrem sauber, sehr gepflegt und duften angenehm. Durch die nur acht Wohneinheiten ist es herrlich ruhig und fast schon exklusiv. Das Frühstück und die Snacks im hauseigenen Café waren ein absolutes Highlight – der Kaffee ist ehrlich eine 12/10. Der Strand ist nur einen Katzensprung entfernt und perfekt zum Schnorcheln, inklusive Schildkröten. Abgerundet wird alles durch die super lieben Besitzer und ihre tolle Familie – man fühlt sich sofort willkommen. NICHTS!
• Lily (10/5): Beautiful, peaceful stay - Amazing property, we could’ve stayed forever. Breakfast thats included is amazing and great choices Staff are all lovely and we did a yoga class which was great Beautiful pool Nothing! Gorgeous It is slightly away from Mirissa but only 15 min tuktuks
• Claudia (10/5): Absoluter Wohlfühlort - Sehr stilvoll eingerichtete Unterkunft. Gemütliche Betten und Außendusche am Zimmer. Total sauber und ruhig gelegen, mit tollem Blick von der Yoga-Dachterrasse. Wunderschöner Pool mit gemütlichen Sitz- und Liegemöglichkeiten. Sehr nette Gastgeber und Staff. Leckeres Frühstück. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohlgefühlt und würden jederzeit gerne wiederkommen! 😊 Alles top
• Michael (10/5): Meraki was amazing. What a wonderful place to stay. - Such a beautiful place. Great design, beautiful details, and well-maintained (only two years old!). Not a thing.
• Holly (10/5): Great location, lovely and clean, great coffee and breakfast - Stunning hotel, great breakfast, lovely vibe and great hosts. The gym classes are not included in the stay which was surprising. Did a stretch class - not cheap and it was not worth it.
• Yoana (9/5): Piece of heaven - Beautiful space, delicious food, great yoga & amazing staff
• Jule Antea (10/5): - Beautiful space and yoga shala. Everyone was very friendly! Very much recommended!
• Harin (8/5): -
• Philipp (9/5): - Nice hotel with everything you need. From café, Yoga to an excellent pool.
• Luca (10/5): Meraki is a beautifully designed oasis of calm where Iona and Kavishka, together with an incredibly warm team, deliver e - We spent four wonderful nights at Meraki, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip. Iona and Kavishka have created a beautiful oasis of calm and relaxation. The design is stunning — visually refined, authentic, and thoughtfully integrated into the surroundings. We stayed in a deluxe room, which featured a gorgeous outdoor shower and bathtub and felt incredibly private and serene. The staff were exceptional: genuinely warm, attentive, and always happy to help. The food was outstanding throughout our stay, and without exaggeration, it was the best coffee we had anywhere in Sri Lanka. Two yoga sessions are offered daily with changing programs, which added a wonderful rhythm to our days and made it easy to fully unwind. Overall, Meraki offers an unparalleled value for money — a place where every detail feels intentional and made with care. We would return without hesitation. -
• Millie (10/5): - Beautiful room, amazing bathroom and great food from the cafe Just wish the restaurant was open later! An evening drink would have been so gorgeous. But honestly nothing to complain about it was so amazing
• Rakshith (10/5): It is one of the best places in srilanka - Neat and very good host Nothing
• ILIA (8/5): -
• Oliwia (10/5): Serdecznie polecam - relaks - Przede wszystkim czystość, jedzenie. Hotel jest na prawdę na najwyższym standardzie, jest skromny tzn nie będzie tam wielu turystów jest umiejscowiony w dobrej lokalizacji, blisko przystanków autobusowych oraz wody. Okolica spokojna bo zmroku trochę strach chodzić ponieważ nie ma tam latarni. Jedzenie przepyszne śniadania na prawdę jedne z lepszych jakie jedliśmy dodatkowo obiady które są dodatków płatne również zdecydowanie spełniają oczekiwania brak
• Eliott (10/5): - Hôtel juste incroyable. Le staff est super gentil, les chambres sont ouf, la piscine excellente. Pour le petit dej vous avez une carte avec le choix entre plusieurs options sucrées/salées. Session de yoga optionnelle le matin, très relaxante. On devait être à l’aéroport vers minuit le jour de notre checkout et ils nous ont laissés la chambre jusqu’à ce qu’on parte alors que c’était normalement 11h ! Rien à dire.
• Klára (10/5): -
• Céline (10/5): Perfect stay in THE perfect hotel - THE best hotel we stayed at in Sri Lanka. Everything was perfect: the hotel is super well maintained, nicely decorated with taste, staff is adorable and breakfast is phenomenal! There is also a nice pool, a small shop and voilà! It is truly a gem! Nothing at all
• Marie (10/5): Sehr zu empfehlen - Wunderschönes Hotel mit dem besten Frühstück was wir in Sri Lanka hatten! Super schöner Pool zum Entspannen und abkühlen. Das gesamte Hotel ist sehr esthetisch eingerichtet, alles sehr schön anzusehen. Das Personal ist super freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Bett und die Bettwäsche war die gemütlichste, die wir bisher hatten. Fußläufig sind Strände und Restaurants zu erreichen. Alles wunderbar.
• Samuel (10/5): Inbegriff von peace an quiet - Das Personal ist extrem zuvorkommend und versucht mit allen Mitteln ein unvergesslichen Aufenthalt zu gestalten. Die Zimmer werden mit einem Auge fürs Detail gereinigt wie ich es sonst nicht kenne. Es ist extrem sauber und sowohl die Seifen, Schampo und Badetücher riechen sehr gut. Besonders das Frühstück ist aussergewöhnlich. Es gibt leckeren Kaffee und vielr Optionen zum essen. Von Avo Toast, Eiern, Frühstücksbowl usw. Wir konnten ohne Problem 11:00 mit dem Frühstück anfangen (als Langschläfer immer willkommen 😀) Für jeden Extrawunsch den wir hatten wurde eine Lösung gefunden. Absolut nichts. Wir hatten die besten 3 Tage dort
• Giada (9/5): Ci tornerei sicuramente - Le camere erano piccole ma super carine e arredate con gusto. Il bagno bellissimo e la doccia anche. Ci siamo proprio rilassati. Camere pulite e ti rifacevano la stanza (cosa non scontata in sri lanka). il doppio cuscino è stata la volta. Il personale molto gentile. Poca scelta sulla colazione a mio parere (soprattutto quella dolce), non avevano nemmeno un pò di marmellata per esempio. Per carità era stagione bassa ma sarebbe giusto garantire gli stessi servizi visto il prezzo più alto che comunque si paga. La piscina non era molto pulita. Quindi servizi un pò cosi, ma per il resto tutto benissimo.
• Irache (10/5): Tranquilidad - Me gustó todo, limpio, comida exquisita, personal amable.
• Raffaella (10/5): - Everything from: Big comfy rooms Laundry service Staff who always went the extra mile any time To Rooftop for yoga which is so dreamy I wish the caffe would have been open for diner as the food was so delicious but that might have been because we were there in off season
• Debski (9/5): -
• Alexandra (10/5): Excellent! I hope I can come back again soon. - The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The whole hotel was divine! The breakfast and coffee was great. The rooms were beautiful and were kept so clean. Couldn’t rate it highly enough. Favourite place that I stayed during our trip. It was a little tricky getting around, but this may have been due to the national holiday. The staff were helpful at organising us a Tuk Tuk to get around, which was useful but a little more expensive than ones you might find on Uber or in Marissa.
• Sascha (10/5): Exceptional - Wow – what an incredible place! Everything about this accommodation was perfect. The service was exceptional, and everything was spotless. We originally booked for just four days but ended up coming back on our return trip because we enjoyed it so much. A big thank you to the entire Meraki team for such a wonderful stay. Keep up the amazing work!
• Sara (10/5): Exceptional - It’s such a beautiful hotel and the owners are so kind. It felt like being home. The yoga sessions were super nice as well and the breakfast is excellent.
• Ridhima (10/5): Wonderful experience - Beautiful property n wonderful hosts. So happy that we booked this stay
• Aleksandra (10/5): Amazing - thank you very much for a wonderful stay - You can see the place is managed with a lot of love & attention to detail. Very modern, clean, friendly, calm - just what you need for a perfect holiday.
• Yannick (10/5): Exceptional - This place is perfect! I hope we can come back one day.
• Kathryn (10/5): I will be back! Loved everything about Meraki. Daily yoga, incredible menu in the cafe, cute retail and the perfect pool - The property is absolutely gorgeous. Owned and run by a lovely family, the hotel has everything one needs for a great holiday. The rooms are perfectly designed, beds and linen are very comfortable and great quality. Staff are so genuine and do everything to make your stay memorable.
• Максим (10/5): Exceptional -
• Annabel (10/5): Incredible - We loved everything about the property. The owners and staff were very welcoming and accommodating. The facilities all immaculate with impeccable attention to detail. We loved the breakfast, that goes without saying and extras of the shop in the reception area, yoga, massages. It has it all! There’s nothing not to like!
• Gabija (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing! We loved our stay, even came back for a few nights more.. Breakfast was really tasty, I would say it was the best breakfast trough out all of our trip. We felt really chilled staying here and had a really good rest, staff were so friendly, they made us feel really welcome. The location is great - there are beautiful beaches around, but they are not overcrowded with people. Also cafes, restaurants and small boutique shops within the walking distance or a quick tuk-tuk ride. Thank you and hope to see you again 🤍
• Robin (10/5): We thoroughly enjoyed our time -
• Jack (10/5): Meraki made our trip - We felt so welcome at Meraki, the hospitality was outstanding, the food was some of the best we had in Sri Lanka, and we loved the aesthetic.
• Dominika (10/5): Beautiful, Serene Place - 10/10 Highly Recommend - We loved our stay, Meraki has a warm welcoming energy. It’s a family owned business and they look after their guests with a lot of attention and care. The yoga and Pilates sessions were amazing and the food was fantastic as well. We also booked the massage and it was truly one of best massages I’ve ever had. 10/10 stay, highly recommend and wishing Meraki the best in 2025 and the years to come (as they have only just opened). The only piece of feedback would be to make filtered water available to guests 24/7 maybe through a filter water fountain in a common area.
• Faisal (10/5): Exceptional -
