    Unterkunft in ruhiger Lage ist sehr sauber und gepflegt. Habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt. Ausreichen Platz zum Essen und auch zum Onlinearbeiten. Die ganze Familie ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Der Herr des Hauses ist Koch und bereitet auf Wunsch gerne gutes Essen zu. Alles in einem sehr zu empfehlen. Vor allem Preis und Leistung sind total okay.

    What an amazing start to discover Sri-Lanka! Diloshi and her family made us feel at home. They picked us up at the airport, answered every questions we asked and even booked our train tickets in advance. We share their new year. Room was beautiful, really clean and comfy and we got the all first floor for us. We miss them already. Come to their place and you will see a piece of Sighalese hospitality!!

    This was the best homestay I ever had. They were kind and treated me like part of the family. They would ask what I liked and always accommodate. They showed me how to cook traditional Sri Lankan foods. They would take me where ever I wanted to go. The house is clean and comfortable. They are only 5 minutes from the beach. Every friday there is a local market only 2 minute walk. It is a peaceful location yet close to everything. I would highly recommend it. If I return I would certainly stay here.

How do I book?

Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.

When do I pay?

Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.

When can I share my contact details?

Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
