The room was absolutely immaculate when we arrived, and our lovely host was there to greet us with open arms. As we have been travelling for about 1.5 months we have stayed in many different types of accomodation but this room was the best. We felt as is we were in luxury in this more modern feeling home. It was great - as we arrived late there is a little restaurant right next door that do great roti and curry’s!

Amazing very kindly people that run this place, greeted with fruits & drinks + genuine conversation. Was also just given dinner (Rice + chicken) for nothing, very tasty & felt nice to not get ripped off in these places. For what I paid, a double bed room + AC & balcony view is definitely worth it. Location very close to train station also which helped me out. The man also owns a tuktuk:)

Sri Lanka
I stayed one night with my family during a two-day trip to southern Sri Lanka, and the experience was delightful. The villa is located just a few kilometers from Matara town, in a peaceful neighborhood, and is very well maintained. It can comfortably accommodate up to 12 guests, making it ideal for families or groups. I had the pleasure of meeting both the manager and the property owner, who were exceptionally courteous and professional. At my request, they prepared a traditional Sri Lankan breakfast of string hoppers, chicken curry, dhal curry, and pol sambol, which was outstanding. I would gladly return for another stay.

Extremely Pleasant Stay! I received a warm welcome with flowers, and the welcome drink made from the garden was fabulous. I stayed two nights at Sheru Guest in Matara, and it truly felt like home. The owner and their family were very friendly and helpful. The Wi-Fi was excellent, and the place was calm and quiet — perfect for relaxing. The guesthouse has everything you need, including a kitchen and washing machine. It's also conveniently located near the Nilwala River and its mouth, and just a short distance to Polhena and Madiha beaches. Highly recommended for a peaceful and comfortable stay!

Stay in Hey Lala was incredible time. The whole family of host were incredible and so nice. They make our stay at place special. Especially Lala is outstanding woman always smileing, happy and ready to help when it's needed. Also son Dulaj and Lala husband were great too. About accommodation, building is new and fresh and keeping on great condition. Rooms are very clean and spacious. Mosqito net is avaiable when you ask. Standard was great and if you add price ratio event more better. There is common space with living rooms, kitchen with all needed equipment, balcony and so good garden to spend evening there. Really recommend this place. And greetings from our family.

I recently stayed at Shady Homestay Hiriketiya and had a wonderful experience. The homestay offers a cosy and comfortable atmosphere with all the essential amenities, making it a perfect choice for a relaxing getaway. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, providing a homely feel. The owner was friendly and accommodating, always ready to assist with any needs. The location is convenient, close to local attractions and transportation. While the facilities are not highly luxurious, they are more than sufficient for a pleasant stay, offering good value for the price. Overall, I highly recommend Shady Homestay Hiriketiya to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay.

    The villa and pool is gorgeous, with stunning views of the ocean. The beds, rooms and kitchen were well stocked with good bedding and kitchen supplies. The caretaker was very helpful with meeting us and showing us where everything was and how to use all the facilities. The restaurants are not close by, but it is a very quick drive or a 15min walk away and not as busy as the surfer town of Hiriketiya.
