Supportive owners and staff, always happy to help, friendly vibes and great restaurant food!

I think having a pool in the property would have been great but it was alright since the beach was right infront of us@

It is directly at the beach and that was such a benefit for us. Whenever we went for a surf or swimming we didnt need to take anything with us and even could leave the key at the reception so we never had to be concerned about leaving our stuff unattended. They also have sunbeds which are in the shade and can be used when ordering at the restaurant. The location is great for all surfers. We had a room with air condition and I can really recommend that. Sri Lanka has a high humidity and is very warm and the air condition helps enormous. It is quiet which is great and can be an issue compared to other accomodations with windows to the main street. There were great food options close by (our favourite: No Name - roti restaurant).

The wifi was not good. But we had the issue in almost all our accommodations so that should not stop you from staying at this place. An easy solution is to get a local sim or eSIM (FYI at colombo airprot when you arrive you will automatically pass a stand with local SIMs and they were really cheap and quick for my friend)

The staff were amazing, like all Sri Lankans just so amazingly nice and helpful. The location right on the beach is perfect, sun beds and parasols free of charge and comfy.

The menu is more international than Sri Lankan but the food they did serve was excellent. The basic double was smaller than expected but it had everything. If you are on ground floor its more motel than hotel but it doesn't detract from the stay.

Good food, beach side, best for surfing or if you are an experienced swimmer, there are high waves, one quick stroll on the beach and you can find calmer ocean water, almost like natural pools. 15 min away from Turtle Beach. Owner tried to be as helpful as he could to accommodate our needs including to upgrade one of our rooms to fit more people

Restaurant staff not very friendly, possibly because he doesn’t understand English very well. We managed to get along in the end though. The AC had some issues and the fan didn’t work at all

Kumari and her team were amazing : ) So kind, especially as my husband was sick. They provided herbal teas and advised on a hospital. I honestly can't say enough about the team, they really made our stay great despite how sick my husband was. The location is perfect, right on the beach! The food in the Drunken Monkey was great, with an extensive menu. Such a great price for a stay over NYE as well, great value for money.

The room was small with no balcony, but we expected that for the price.

Breakfast was good although my son was hoping for waffles but the machine was broken. We had dinner here one night and it was very good. The location is perfect, right on the beach and away from the crowds but the main town is just a short walk away. The hotel was really accommodating and arranged for a car to pick us up from the airport and then arranged a car for our onward journey which was great.

Everything was good.

Not my first time here, neither my last! I am absolutely in love with this place, which literally makes me feel like I’m “at home”. Over the past 10 years, I have been all over Srilanka and I absolutely love IBH and always can’t wait to come back! Rooms super clean and cozy, Drunken Monkey, an amazing bar with a lovely staff which became friends over the years… Golden sand beach, perfect waves to surf, chill during the day, party during the night, a prime location, and not to forget the delicious food. Big thanks for the owners Kumari and Shanna (sorry malli if I mispronounced your name 🤣). See you soon guys!

Its a lovely hotel on one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever been to. I could have spent weeks on this spot. The owner of the hotel is kind, helpful, friendly and her hotel team is also great. The rooms are nice, clean and the restaurant serves delicious food.

Cleanliness was at 100%. Staff was good. Food tasted good.

Quantity of food Served for the value of money can improve. Card Payments does not work, although when you enter the hotel they said, you can pay from card. Washroom needs to have a head shower. They only had a body shower.

Beautiful beach views, welcoming staff. The season was closing so we had breakfast (, included) at Neelas next door, which was delicious. Great spot for surf and bars.

No kettle, we didn't ask for one but a kettle in the room would have topped it off 👍
