The garden is crazy beautiful and peaceful, I could work outside with the sound or the birds or just chill in the hammock. The kitchen amenities are very superior to anywhere I've stayed in Sri Lanka. Oven is something very rare to find but here they have a good one! Also toaster, stove, kettle, mixer and even coffee grinder... Also, there's a clothing washing machine and washing powder , so I could wash my clothes by myself. 1min walk from a little perfect beach for a quick swim or watch the sunset. Loved it! Everything was clean and the owner and worker are super nice and helpful!

We had a really great time at Madiha Venus! The breakfast was pretty good. The location is close the beachfront and restaurants. The room was amazing: very clean, spacious, cozy and stylish with interesting details like carved doors and shutters. We really appreciate hospitality and desire to make our stay excellent. The owner and his wife were very friendly, helpful and attentive. Wish you to maintain the high level of service you have! I can definitely recommend this accommodation!

Dinu and her parents are the sweetest hosts! The property is cleaner than my house :P, there is a small kitchen set up with almost everything for random hour hunger pangs, the bed and furniture is charming! It is a little walk from the main road (2 mins) but all the great restaurants are within 200m. Really loved my stay and highly recommend it ! Very reasonable also. Not to forget the big big breakfast spread they put out on my checkout day!

Really lovely new guesthouse, ran by a very helpful friendly family. Only a few minutes walk from nice resturants, bars and the ocean and the room was very clean. Really appreciated the strong air con and hot powerful shower! Comfy bed, modern facilities and set back from the road a little so it was nice and quiet at night.We could easily walk to the popular surf point nearby too. One of the nicest places I've stayed in sri lanka!

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.
