"We had a wonderful, peaceful stay at Shore Beach Villa. It’s important to note that this is a private villa rather than a hotel, making it perfect for those looking for a self-catering experience. The views are incredible and it’s very close to Jungle Beach. ​The owner was exceptionally responsive and went above and beyond to make our stay special. The only minor downside is the spotty WiFi. To be fair, the owners have tried their best by installing two different providers, but the signal...

"The gentleman was very kind and flexible. We had to catch a train early in the morning and he served great breakfast for us at 6am although it was supposed to be between 7-9am. We appreciate his hospitality! "

"The pictures are not a true reflection of this property. It has the potential to be a very lovely hotel but it is run down and falling apart. The rooms were dirty especially the bathroom. There wasn't a mosquito net for the bed. Service for breakfast was very slow. The pool looks like it needs a good clean. I couldn't even get into it. "

" Das Zimmer hatte einen wunderschönen Blick auf den Strand und das Meer, die Sauberkeit Zimmer war okay. Beachten sollte man, das Zimmer erst nach dem dritten Tag gereinigt und auch die Handtücher gewechselt werden. Besonders bezüglich der Handtücher war das eher nicht optimal für uns, diese hatten auch einen etwas unangenehmen Geruch"

We were privileged to be the very first guests and stayed in the Terrace Suite, which offered exclusive access to a private terrace with dual views—one overlooking a serene garden and the other opening toward the...

"Eerst zat ik in kamer zonder Airconditioning (ze hebben er maar 1) die was enorm vochtig en de badkamer stonk gigantisch. Dag erop naar kamer met AC gegaan en die was veel beter, maar ook duurder. Personeel heel behulpzaam en vriendelijk"

"This hotel has an amazing spot on the beach. The only drawback was the lack of a view from our room. The room was large and comfortable and the staff were delightful. Despite the lack of light/view in the room it does offer a number of beach facing seating areas and a fantastic breakfast "

"What a truly exceptional hotel. From the moment we arrived the staff were truly fantastic with our 3yr old daughter. In particular Udaya went above and beyond and nothing was too much trouble at all. Our only negative was that we didn’t stay here longer! If we return to Sri Lanka this will be hotel booking number1 for me and my family! "
