Guesthouse holiday rentals in Sri Lanka

We had a wonderful stay! The accommodation was super comfortable and flexible. For New Year’s, we joined everyone for dinner, which was delicious and such a cozy experience. Later, we walked to a small club called “Lazies,” where a great DJ was playing at the rooftop bar—such a fun vibe! The location is close to the beach with a nice surf atmosphere. The room was clean and tidy. Highly recommend!

The house was very beautiful, amazing views of the lake Gregory, mountains and perfect spot to view sea plane landing. Our family loved it. Kitchen could be equipped more with spoons, utensils etc. Pradeep and his Mom were very helpful. Bathroom could be more clean and glass doors need to be revamped as the water came out while taking shower. Perfect house for our Christmas gateway. Thanks.

Unfassbar schöner Ort! Wir haben uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt und wurden von Lakshan und seiner Familie sehr herzlich aufgenommen. Das Häuschen hat eine wunderschöne, überdachte Terrasse umgeben von vielen Pflanzen. Alles war sehr sauber und ordentlich. Das Bett war bequem und wir hatten alles, was wir brauchten. Der Strand ist zu Fuß nur wenige Minuten entfernt und man findet auch leckere Restaurants und Cafés in fußläufiger Entfernung. Wir würden definitiv wieder hier buchen und dann gerne länger bleiben.

We really enjoyed our stay with Sharmini!! She was a lovely host that made us feel right at home, with recommendations on what to do and where to eat. Highlight was the meal she cooked for us and the tea. She helped us coordinate pick ups/drop offs and guided us to the bus station. Made us feel very safe. Highly recommend

It was a really nice stay. Bandula was a friendly host and gave tipps for sigiriya. The breakfast was a a really nice top on. We would recommend it and its a good location to slow down a little bit and reach everything good in sigiriya.

Nimal’s place is absolutely perfect if you intend on climbing Adam’s Peak. It is literally about a 10 min walk from the entrance. Nimal is very warm and friendly, cooking us a delicious breakfast in the morning once we returned from the peak. The bedrooms are simple but perfectly fine. They are clean and comfortable which is the most important thing! There are loads of restaurants nearby too so great for grabbing a drink or some dinner. Excellent value for money too. Thank you for a great stay!

Although our stay was only two nights (not long enough!) we loved staying here. Being in the jungle hills, at the edge of a nature reserve, the views and scenery was so lovely. Valerian, Laure and their family (including the dogs) were so welcoming from the beginning. We had a fun tour of their spice garden from their youngest son and even had homemade pizza one night. The place is quite tricky to get to in the dark - we reccommend looking for “Domaine De Bellevue” on Google Maps. Would love to stay again!

Thank you so much for having us :-) it was our first night in Sri Lanka and Christima residence was the perfect place to start. The rooms are exactly as described. There are restaurants and the beach nearby. The next morning we were a little bit late to get to our bus, so our host arranged us two seats in the express bus. We was a huge help. We are so happy about our choice :-)

Only stayed 2 nights and I absolutely loved it! Such a beautiful place!! It’s a short walk into town. Host was super helpful. I would 100% stay here next time I visit.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour ici. Les hôtes ont été d'une gentillesse incroyable avec nous. Nous avons très bien mangé et dormi dans ce logement. Si vous souhaitez un endroit paisible avec une superbe vue, proche des départs de rando pour le Ella Rock ou d'une cascade alors c'est le bon endroit 👍🏻 Vous avez également la possibilité d'effectuer une lessive sur demande. Par ailleurs si vous allez à Ella depuis Kandy, n'hésitez pas à vous arrêter à l'arrêt Kitha Ella juste avant Ella pour arriver au pied du logement 😉

We stayed here for 12 nights and it was absolutely lovely. The listing doesn’t tell you but there are hosts on the property who take excellent care of you as well! Lakmal and his family cooked all our meals, did our washing and kept the place very clean. They even sorted a car for us during our time there. They were so lovely and amazing with our 2 year old who absolutely loved them! The property is in a brilliant location, close by to Weligama (15 minute walk to the beach). It is just like the photos and extremely clean, Lakmal and his family also cleaned it regularly whilst we were there and provided us with anything we requested. I would definitely recommend this to anyone seeking a quieter property outside of the busy Weligama but close enough to enjoy it during the daytime.

Gaia Soul was actually the reason we wanted to go to Sri Lanka. And — (even though we never travel to the same places again) Gaia Soul will be the reason we have to go back. The pool and the skate ramp were so much fun. There are a lot of different hang out zones, so you will always find a comfortable spot. The place is so tidy and clean at all times. The exterior is really nice with the concrete and the orange and pink flowers. The garden areas are taken care og daily. There is a beautiful beach 5 minute walking distance. 
You can order food all day from the neighbour restaurant, that serves delicious traditional Sri Lankan food. (You have to try the curry with coconut sambol and the breakfast pancakes) Sanduni and her team will take care of you from you arrive until departure. We had two morning yoga sessions with Sarka. She is a great yoga teacher. It felt so special to just walk to the open jungle yoga studio in the beautiful wild surroundings. Thank you so much Baxter!

This family are so friendly ,helpful and completely reliable , Clean house , quick respond for your needs , I was lucky got upgraded by them , lot of space for solo traveler . you can totally trust them for many other aspects, highly recommended to stay .

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful villa as a group of 4 adults and 4 kids. Nestled among coconut trees and lush nature, we even saw peacocks roaming around - a magical sight for the kids! I wish I could add pictures to the review - the place is absolutely stunning. The staff were kind, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. Huge thanks to Nalin for helping organise a memorable 5th birthday for my daughter with decorations and a lovely cake. The in-house chef was fantastic - every meal was fresh, delicious, and enjoyed by all. The villa is clean, spacious, and perfect for families, with 3 bedrooms each having its own en-suite bathroom. The last 1.5 km requires an SUV, especially after rain, but it's worth it for such a peaceful retreat. Nalin was always responsive and helpful. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to unwind in nature with great hospitality. Only minor feedback: clearer menu/pricing for meals and a few extra towels/toiletries would make it truly 5-star.

This is by far the best Airbnb experience I had, Shashika made all the difference on my stay, upon arrival I met him and his family organizing the house for our arrival, really kind and sweet people who later received us for an amazing lunch. Anything I would need for my stay Shashika was up to assist, from renting a bike to an additional fan I got within an hour. The house is beachfront and it’s really private and peaceful there, the morning walks were amazing. There’s a beachfront restaurant 5 minutes walking from the beach which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. In adicional shashika’s family offers breakfast which we ordered and it was great. The suits are comfortable with AC and comfortable beds. Nothing to complain but just to thank for the great hospitality trough the week.

Отличные апартаменты! Раздельные гостиная, спальня, кухня. Все новое. Есть абсолютно все необходимое. Прекрасный хозяин! Единственный минус - нет кондиционера, но уже на второй день привык))

Wir können Thathsara nur weiterempfehlen. Die Besitzer sind einfach herzlich und unglaublich freundlich- man fühlt sich wie daheim. Wir haben Obst aus dem eigenen Garten bekommen. Der Garten ist generell ein Ruheort, obwohl man direkt in Midigama und nur 2 min vom Strand entfernt ist. Wir waren drei Wochen hier und können es für Langzeitaufenthalte empfehlen.

A beautiful spot on the beach , easy access to tuk tuks, and nice to have meals made on site if needed. We enjoyed our stay and my kids loved the pool and beach.

Can't praise Aether Villas, David and his team enough! We had an absolutely magical stay. The location is incredibly peaceful & relaxing, bordered by jungle with views down to the ocean but close to everything in Hiriketiya/Dickwella. All the small details have been thought about in the villas from the design/aspect all the way down to yoga mats and hand sanitiser, you can tell David really understands hospitality! Super responsive before our stay and accommodating of an early check in. Only regret is we didn't have a longer stay, 6*s 🙌🙌

Friendly staff, easy check in, big beds with mosquito nets and an electric mosquito swat in the room - very handy! Nice little plunge pool, close enough to beach/Main Street to walk - within 10 mins or so. Very affordable. More like a guest studio, not a stand alone apartment Only small niggle was shower pressure/temperature was temperamental
