Wat an absolute delight it is to stay in this little piece of paradise! Gorgeous decor, delicious food and drinks, kind and superb service. A place you will definitely feel at home. Madiha itself is also a good choice as a location, since you will find tranquility and beauty, but there are some really nice restaurants and chill places in the neighbourhood. And of course Mirissa, which is a lot busier, is 15 min away. We stayed here with our family of 4 and absolutely loved it!

You have to stay here! Thilan and his family made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived — greeted with flowers, garlands, and fresh watermelon juice. Our room was spacious, spotless, and beautifully decorated, with a comfy bed, great shower, and lovely balcony. The bed was huge, the bathroom lovely, and there was plenty of space (plus a drying rack for swimwear!). The shower takes a minute to heat up, but with the warm weather, it’s hardly needed. Rooms aren’t serviced daily unless requested, but Thilan is very responsive on WhatsApp for anything you need. Both breakfast and dinner were the best we had in Sri Lanka — fresh fruit, smoothies, and amazing Sri Lankan dishes made with spices and coconuts from their garden. Absolutely delicious! Thilan helped organise all our transfers, and the rooftop views and peaceful atmosphere made our stay perfect. It’s a short walk to the beach and felt very safe. Thilan also helped organise a mobile massage therapist so I was able yo have a massage on the rooftop, which was amazing with the sea breeze. We left feeling so cared for — this stay will always be a special memory. Thilan and his family went above and beyond to make our trip unforgettable. We left feeling like part of the family. Thank you for making our stay so memorable. Stay here, eat here, and you’ll see why everyone loves it!

Extremely welcoming and helpful family. Lovely property with nice new fresh rooms. I was stuck with nowhere to stay due to a misunderstanding. They took me in late at night, I had no bags with me, they gave me PJ's which was honestly such a lovely lovely thing to do. The breakfast the next-day was gorgeous. Dhal, sambol, potato curry, hoppers, the lot!! 2 types of desert. Genuinely lovely people. AND THEIR DOG!!! omg, the cutest fluff Ball I've ever seen.

We were really lucky to find this place and spent 11 nights here! If we come back to Sri Lanka, we will definitely stay in Sandbank again. New, clean, comfortable room with cozy terrace. Super-friendly, caring staff - they were always ready to help with ALL our requests. We felt ourselves very welcomed guests - not just regular clients. The place is located in quiet part of Madiha which was important for us - no loud music and parties around. There is no usual beach nearby but for us it was advantage as we don’t like crowds and swimming - just be in the ocean and jump with waves) Just several moments were specific and could be important to know in advance: there is no hot water (it’s not cold of course, just fresh), WiFi didn’t work in our room (n3), just on terrace - but this points just details, not problems and it couldn’t mess up our stay in such a great place.

Sayuri Beach Hotel is a terrific option for travelers looking for an affordable beach stay at Polhena, Matara because it offers a great blend of comfort, affordability, great locations, and exceptional service. The host was amiable and made sure his visitors had a good time.

We had a surprising very good stay with Dayana and Neil and their children, the hosts of the guest house. Very quiet area for a good sleep, the jungle sounds wake you up in the morning. Nice beds with mosquito nets, a own kitchen to use if you want to, and otherwise some local and also fancy places around to find food and drinks. Would come definitely back to the house. Thank you
