• Eva (10/5): - Great, basic place to stay right on the very remote Talalla beach. The staff is so so nice, you immediately feel like at grandma’s home! We went for a grocery shopping together and we ate all the dinners and breakfasts there, because it is the best food! Very recommended.
• Anne Drivsholm (10/5): Det var et super ophold med skønt personale og en helt fantastisk beliggenhed. - En fantastisk beliggenhed og meget sødt personale.
• Matthias (10/5): - Beautiful location overlooking talalla bay. The staff really made me feel at home, away from home. Also the best food I had in sri lanka!
• Annapuranie (9/5): Tranquil, and beautiful stay with great food and service - Delightful place right on the beach with the most spectacular view . Nilmini the bungalow caretaker is such an amazing holiday mom! She makes delicious meals and takes great care of you . It was April so it was quite hot without AC but should be fine in the other months !
• Thomahawks (8/5): Very good -
• Hannah (9/5): Idyllic beach house with gorgeous views - Talalla Bay Beach House is a gem and I felt really happy to be staying there. Emma was absolutely wonderful in communication even before my stay had started which gave me such a great peace of mind before travelling. The location is idyllic, set in the trees overlooking the beautiful beach and sea. You go to sleep and wake up to the sound of the waves crashing which is so relaxing. To get to the property you walk across the beach and the hosts helped me with my bags which was great and super helpful. Also, as a solo female traveller, I really appreciated the guard keeping a look out when I came back later in the evening when it was dark along the beach. Nilmini's food was absolutely wonderful, home cooked style vegetable curries and rice. Some of the best food I ate in Sri Lanka. Overall, it felt like a (beautiful) home away from home during my travels. There was nothing I didn't like. I would only say an improvement would be a little TLC in the bathroom perhaps but everything really was gorgeous.
• Mark (9/5): Perfect place to stay to relax on the beach - Location, location, location. It was literally three paces, then 10 steps and you’re on the beach/in the sea. The beach is outstanding, very clean and quiet. Highly recommend eating at the house as all the food is cooked fresh, takes them about three hours, and is absolutely delicious. The only thing to bear in mind is because you are right by the sea, everything is very slightly damp all the time. Not a complaint just to make you aware.
• Simon (10/5): Paradise - Location, location, location. All staff from manager/cook through to night security men super nice, friendly and above all helpful.
• Sharon (9/5): An amazing place to stay - Excellent location couldn’t get any nearer the beach, lovely team of people looking after you, food was excellent and authentic Sri Lanka especially dinner, peaceful and quiet, breakfast was in a beautiful setting , just an awesome atmosphere all the time and smiles all the time from the team. Not dislike but an observation , the rooms are small and basic and do need some TLC especially the bathroom and balconies but this doesn’t detract from the real beauty and we can always want better. Maybe some hanging space, and louvres on all bedrooms
• Jiri (10/5): Exceptional - Incredible location, just a few steps down to the beach. The staff was super attentive and friendly. Nilmini’s food was the best we had in Sri Lanka. She deserves a Michelin star. :) the whole stay was perfect. Thank you.
• Nikolaj (10/5): We will be back - We had a wonderful stay at the Beach House. The location was amazing and our hostes was extremely nice and made such great food.
• Louisa (8/5): Very good -
• Emily (9/5): Superb - Beautiful location, on the beach. Nilmini, the house manager is wonderful. A great cook and friendly host, as were the other staff. Bathroom could do with a bit of an upgrade.
• Juliane (9/5): Superb -
• Carp (9/5): We had the best three nights at Talalla Bay Beach House. Right on the beach and the staff look after you so well. The ho -
• Laura (9/5): Beautiful location on the beach with welcoming staff - Talalla Bay Beach House is in a stunning location, right beside the sea, only steps from the beach. There is a lovely peaceful ambience with the sound of the waves and there are comfortable areas to relax around the property. Nilmini and Francis are wonderful hosts, so welcoming and kind. I felt very looked after during my stay. Nilmini’s cooking was delicious and varied - thank you!
• Christoph (6/5): Nice small house - Nice, small house with a fewnice but small rooms. Good food, nice people, nice beach, but overall the house and rooms need some maintenance. Given this, we had a lovely stay
• Frederick (9/5): Superb - We felt very lucky to be staying in such an idyllic place: the best view, incredibly delicious food and lovely ladies looking after us. We loved waking up at sunrise and going for walks along the beach and having many heavenly swims in the sea.
• Luisa (8/5): Very good - Amazing location (i think the best on Talalla beach), hosts are amazing and breakfast is very good. We highly recommend this accomodation and if one day we are back to Talalla, we will be there again. Our room was a bit tiny for two people and no space for a minium of storage.
• Holger (10/5): Wonderful beach paradise! - Best location in the bay, wonderful stuff, loved the food cooked for us only! Not a minus, it’s „just“ a homestay though. We had some moskito problems in addition.
• Jan (10/5): - Sehr charmant eingerichtetes Gästehaus mit vielen Aufenthaltszonen direkt an einem traumhaften Strand! Super nettes Personal und hervorragendes Abendessen und Frühstück. Wir bedauern, dass wir nur zwei Nächte gebucht hatten. Sehr gute Kommunikation und Infos. Auch bei der Orga unserer Weiterreise waren sie sehr hilfreich.
• Eleanor (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sarah (10/5): Exceptional - It was a special and beautiful place. Nilmini and her crew are amazing people. The food was delicious. Actually I thought it's more like a German-called Ferienhaus. But it isn't. But for me it doesn't matter. I ve really enjoyed it there. Talalla and the beach house is a peacefully and quite place.
• Christian (10/5): Exceptional - Such a wonderful place, at the seaside, cozy rooms with fan, different nice seating places for reading a book. The beach is great to have a morning walk and a swim later. Not crowded, mix tourists and locals, fishing boats… we extended our stay with 2 days. And then we have Milnini and her staff, what a lady and excellent cook, and taking care of everything you need. Nothing. Airco could be nice but then again the house would loose some of its old seaside charm.
• Kristina (9/5): Relaxed, homely and welcoming. Perfect hosts and perfect way to start our trip in Sri Lanka - Nilmini and the team were so friendly and welcoming - truly looked after us and excellent at their jobs Could have used more space/surfaces to put stuff
• David (10/5): Exceptional - beautiful property with warm welcoming convivial atmosphere, right on the beach
• Sharon (9/5): A beautiful spot for some rest and relaxation and nature at its best. - The property is in a stunning location with beautiful views across Talalla Bay, particularly from the upper room we were in. The staff were also very friendly and helpful, the welcome drink was much appreciated and the evening curry we opted for was nice and tasty. The room also had filtered water provided which was great and very environmentally friendly gesture. All in all, an excellent choice and we would definitely recommend and look forward to returning in the future. There wasn’t anything we didn’t like about the property but a suggested improvement would be providing a kettle and mugs in the room, and maybe a small bar fridge. The staff were able to provide hot water when we asked which was welcomed. We were a little underwhelmed in the breakfast on our first day as it was just fruit and toast, but subsequent days also had an added local Sri Lankan dish which was appreciated by everyone so we certainly recommend that.
• Rory (8/5): Very good -
• Aristea (10/5): Best place I have been in a long time - Everything was great that we ended up extending our stay. There was nothing i didn’t like
• Sonia (10/5): Perfect retreat away from tourists - Talalla Bay Beach house was home away from home. The remote and quiet location was perfect. The service was outstanding. Nilmini’s cooking was superb. The staff went above and beyond to help.
• Amy (9/5): Superb - Beautiful location right by the sea. Nilmini, Francis and Manuel were amazing, so helpful and friendly and Nilmini is an amazing cook! Try her mango and aubergine curries. Slightly pricier than some other guest houses we've stayed in but the location can't be beaten! Was well worth it!
• Antonia (10/5): Heaven on earth - We recently had the pleasure of staying at Talalla Bay Beach House that we would highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable beach vacation. From the moment we arrived, we're impressed by the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the place, as well as the attentive and friendly hosts. One of the highlights of our stay was undoubtedly the gorgeous beach, which was just steps away from the guest house. The sand was soft and clean, and the water was crystal clear and perfect for swimming. Whether we wanted to simply relax on the beach with a good book or take a refreshing swim, we always felt comfortable and at ease in this beautiful setting. The guest house also had excellent food that surpassed our expectations. Every meal was delicious and prepared with care, featuring a variety of fresh and local ingredients. Whether we were in the mood for seafood, vegetables, or something sweet, our hosts Nilmini and Manel always delivered an amazing culinary experience. Finally, we cannot say enough about the helpful and friendly hosts who made our stay so memorable. Thank you Nilmini, Manel, Francis, Vimale and Emma! We can't wait to visit you again! The rooms and bathrooms could be updated a little bit.
• Zoe (9/5): Beautiful hidden gem in a lovely location with even better staff ❤️ - beautiful rooms steps away from the beach. absolutely amazing staff. Nilmini was the sweetest lady ever. also the best cook in Sri Lanka. the food is delicious so make sure you have dinner here when you stay. especially the mango curry!! the only down thing I’d say is the water for the shower is cold ( didn’t matter too much as it was very hot!) they do provide fans but even two weren’t enough during the night.
• Dominika (10/5): Perfect location, the beach is straight downstairs and the view is very beautiful. The room is quite simple but clean wi - staff members, location and view, beach, clean rooms
• Verified traveler (10/5): - We had a fantastic stay here. Very relaxing. Beautiful laid back beach house. Best location. Niwinni’s cooking is the best we had in SriLanka.
