Very comfortable and modern room - with both AC and fan, also some insect repellent devices in place and a fridge. Super nice and big bed. Semi outdoor bathroom with a lot of privacy - a great shower experience. Good breakfast as well, and very nice staff. The place is located between two great beaches - Pasikuda and Kalkudah.

Juda was very welcoming, showed us all there is to do around the area, breakfast was delicious, omelette with fresh fruit juice, toast and tea. The villa is just a short walk to the beach, you can rent bikes from there to see the town. Beds were good and toilet clean and tidy.

We liked this homestay. You probably need access to transport to get here but it is close to the beach. The upstairs has a couple of en-suite bedrooms, a lounge and dining area and a kitchen with a fridge freezer. Each room has a kettle and tea and coffee. Air conditioning and fan in each room too. Breakfast was $5 per person and included a fried egg, 4 slices of lightly toasted bread, butter and jam, 4 different fruits, water , tea and coffee. Enough for us. The owner was lovely. Great value to stay here

This place has a spectacular garden, terrace and very comfortable room with A/C. Arul received us even before the offical arrival time, let us park our tuktuk inside and gave us tips for local food & drink. They allow us to use the kitchen and the terrace with the garden view. It's not in the centre of the town, which means a quiet location, but if you want to go to the town you will need a tuktuk (taxi or your own transport). Very good value for the money. The pictures I took are from their beautiful garden.

Very beautiful place with thought through amenities like a bottle of water, plug-in insect repellent in the rooms. It’s perfectly located between the two beaches and next to a small store and atm. Breakfast was also very nice and filling.

Wow. This was hospitality plus. Simple, clean rooms in a lovely quiet setting. Our hosts Jude and Amutha were exceptional- full of helpful information and they went the extra mile to accommodate our need for a super early breakfast before we set off on our bicycles.

We were welcomed by Nava on arrival. Prior to this he had sent details of WiFi code and where to get off the bus. The room was very clean, bed very comfortable, and shower good. Although close to the main road, it was quiet. Nava gave good suggestions about places to visit when we hired a scooter including beautiful Passikuda beach. I recommend eating at Sri Krishna, 15 minutes walk from RoaBaa guesthouse - a vegetarian restaurant with tasty dosas!

Amazing host, very kind and helpful. We got to choose our room between the two available. Great location near the beach, but if you go early morning there are fishermen and you can't swim. Good value for money.

An exceptional accommodation, Nava our host was very attentive and nothing was a hassle. He's maintaining a high standard and does it easily.,which for the guest helps you relax straight away.Close to all things you need and 5 minutes from bus or railway station. Great couple of food hotels on the main trinco Rd.Very cheap and great sri lankan food. We would have liked another night or two. Thankyou Nava . Ps had english sri lankan paper as well.

Neem Forest GH is somewhat outside the city but only a short tuktuk ride away. As a result it is a beautifully peaceful and extremely quiet location. Dawn chorus of birds was amazing. The host was extremely helpful and ready to talk about all matter of subjects. The Sri Lanken breakfast was always too much and the host made sure it was always different. Nearby is the many kilometer long sand beach (no other tourists) where you watch the fishermen pull in their nets of caught fish. Meem Forest is highly recommended.

Perfect place to stay in my favourite town. 4km bike ride from shops, cafe, beer shop, and restaurants - and 2 minutes walk from the sea. The guesthouse is quiet and well maintained, and the host, Suresh, goes out of his way to help you. And it is inexpensive too 👍
