Fantastic place with hosts that genuinely understand and care about guests and have created a magic place to stay that reflects this. The place to stay in Tangalle. I had to cancel one night in order to get an emergency passport and they didn't charge me cancellation fee. The hosts have thought about and prepared the place with thoughts about guests and not just making money. Would stay again definitely when in Tangalle next. It is a fantastic place to stay with funky colored rooms and little outdoor area and restaurant.

The room (with AC) and its bathroom was very clean and comfortable. We had a balcony on the river too. The family offers the possibility to have luch/dinner at their place for convenient prices. Sunethra, the woman who keeps the house is very friendly and she takes care of everything you need! Through the homestay we had the opportunity to book the Safari at Yala, they offer an half or full day experience and in the price are included the entrance ticket, the jeep and a lunch box. You don’t have to stress about anything. We highly recommend this accommodation.

Free trinking water from big multiuse bottles. We enjoyed this environmental offer. Large clean room. Nice large balcony with view to a beautiful garden.

Absolutely amazing place, great service, and a beautiful garden. Place to sit outside and just chill. I was in the ground floor room, and it was great. Bathroom was very clean and nice. Bed comfy, there was a little table for work. I was happy. Upper floor room is even better, with extra small balcony and a huge terrace. But what is the best about is the owner and his family. His service and all the help was astonishing.

Everything was fantastic! Spotlessly clean room, extremely comfortable bed and beautiful terrace. Effective but quiet AC and ceiling fan. Brilliant location near all the best beaches as well as lesser known beach on doorstep which is beautiful. Brilliant hosts who made us feel welcome and at home. They also organised scooter and helped with all aspects of organisation for our trip. Reasonably priced laundry service. Fantastic varied breakfast. One of the best places we have stayed in Sri Lanka, don't hesitate to book!

Our stay at this guesthouse was fantastic! The room was the best we had during our entire trip—super comfortable bed, hot water in the shower, and reliable WiFi. The owners were incredibly kind, friendly, and welcoming. They prepared a delicious breakfast and snacks for our early morning safari, which was really thoughtful. We also had an amazing tuk-tuk tour around the lake, where we saw crocodiles, water buffalos, various birds, and thousands of fruit bats—such an incredible experience! On top of that, they added a special touch by decorating our bed beautifully for our honeymoon, which made our stay even more memorable. Highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Tissamaharama!

Dilushika and Gayan were exceptional hosts, making us feel right at home. The breakfast was delightful, and we also enjoyed dinner there—Dilushika's egg kottu is the best! The garden is stunning! I could have easily stayed longer. The beds were comfortable, complete with mosquito nets for a peaceful night's sleep. I loved sleeping by the soothing sounds of birds. The view is absolutely breathtaking! They also organize safari at the best price with excellent guides. Additionally, they arranged a taxi to Ella for us at a rate even better than Uber.

Very lovely bungalows with their own terraces in a beautiful garden. The hosts are very discrete, so the whole place feels very quiet and serene. The place is right next to the beach. No AC in the rooms but I found that the fan was enough. Also possibility to have hot water showers which is a plus as not everywhere in Sri Lanka offers it. I highly recommend having dinner there, it was one of the best curries I had in home stays in Sri Lanka!

While very little English is spoken by Hilda and her husband, they were great hosts and very friendly and helpful. The room (one of only two) was spacious and clean. Nice hot shower and a big balcony to watch the waves rolling in and the world go by. Sri Lankan breakfast was HUGE, albeit marginally more expensive than we expected.

Indi was a really great host, who always ensured we were satisfied and taken care of. He arrived each morning with fresh mangos and bananas. The food was absolutely delicious and we really enjoyed eating dinner at the home stay. Indi also let us borrow his bike for a small extra cost when we needed to go out. Overall, Three Little Birds was a lovely home stay.

Without doubt one of the favorite homestays I stayed during my time in Sri Lanka! Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by the family. We had three great days here, which obviously also added up to the experience. I truly enjoyed walking through the village. The scenery was beautiful and it was a relieve to walk in such a quiet and peaceful environment.

Great home stay in Tangalle. The hosts were really friendly genuine people. The room was basic but had everything we needed - AC / wifi / mini fridge. The outdoor area is really nice & there are some little breakout areas with sofas / table & chairs to chill outside of the room. Can hire scooter from here which we’d recommend to get to the beaches as the beach nearby is more of a fisherman’s beach, the other end is best for spending the day
