The facilities, the room, the bathroom… everything is new and fantastic. Very comfortable place. The food (dinner and breakfast) is really good. Staff is extremely friendly. And it is located in a fantastic area near a lot of sightseeing places.

I spent three wonderful nights here and decided to extend my stay by two more nights because this place is simply perfect. The family who owns the property is extremely friendly and always willing to assist with anything you need. The location is ideal, as it is right on the beach, which is probably the best one I visited during my month in Sri Lanka. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, and everyone around is friendly, making my stay even better. I hope to return in the future because it was a truly wonderful experience!

Mr Janaka and the staff were very attentive and kind. I was travelling with my mother and aunt and they were given the 2 downstairs rooms, whilst I had one of the three rooms on the first floor. Every thing about the accommodation was clean and well maintained. The welcome drink on arrival, breakfasts were hearty and the dinner we had was fabulous. Nothing was too much trouble, some refreshing afternoon tea after our touring was just what we needed.

This place has an amazing location, perfect for relaxing. The beach is quiet and peaceful, making it a great spot to unwind. The outdoor space is fantastic—you can spend hours just enjoying the atmosphere. A lovely family runs this place, and they offer delicious homemade food in their restaurant. They also provide snorkeling masks, so you can spend hours in the water watching the beautiful fish. It’s a perfect spot to enjoy the sea and the beauty of southern Sri Lanka!

It's a great place where you want to disconnect a bit, relax and enjoy your rest. The location was great, very close to the beach, you can walk in 7 min. The property is a villa and you have a home stay there. The man who manages everything is a really nice person, We had great time with him, had lots of talks, it was very lovely. They staff was great and they were also giving some tea, fruit sometimes for free as a treat, which was very lovely. The property was clean and the kitchen has everything we needed to cook. The pool was nice and clean, we had some relaxing time there as well. I will go back again for sure once I am in Matara.

    We loved our stay at Bienvenido. The owners and staff were so friendly and helpful... even cheerfully making up our room every day, as requested (I am on holiday, so it's nice to have someone else make my bed) I understand it's not normal practice on SL. My husband loved the Sri Lanka breakfast. And I loved their swimming pool.

    I really enjoyed my time at Beach Inns Holiday Resort. The guesthouse is located beside a beautiful beach in a peaceful area away from the busy main road. The large seaside terrace is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the scenery, with the palm trees offering welcome shade during the heat of the day. My room was clean and spacious and the management and staff were very helpful and friendly. I would definitely stay here again.

    Madu and her family are some of the nicest people you will meet in Sri Lanka. They want you to have the best days of your holiday and will help you with everything you ask. It is really close to the surfspot, and there are nice restaurants around. We stayed here twice and would love to come back!

    Emanuela and Tharin is just amazing hosts that really make you feel like home in their beautiful accommodation. We stayed for 4 nights and this was one of our favorite spots during our Sri Lanka journey, a lot thanks to our stay at Casa Tharin. Besides from their hospitality they offer a fantastic breakfast (and coffee!!), a lovely terrace and comfortable rooms. We would definitely come back here and recommend everyone to stay here.

    I stayed one night in a private room which was very clean and nice. Also the bathroom and the whole accommodation was very clean and good. It’s right in front of the railway station which is perfect if you need to take a train. The hosts are very friendly and polite. If I had any questions I could contact them at any time.
