We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Somerset Mirissa Eco! The location is perfect if you’re looking for a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature. Waking up to a symphony of birds and enjoying the view of the rainforest, with monkeys and squirrels nearby, was simply magical. The rooms are modern and well-equipped. The water pressure and hot water were exceptional – something you don’t often find in Sri Lanka. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. They assisted us with arranging a tuk-tuk and a scooter and went above and beyond to accommodate all our requests. Breakfast was outstanding, featuring a generous fruit buffet along with a choice of English breakfast or traditional Sri Lankan dishes, which were absolutely delicious. We would love to come back and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a unique and relaxing stay! 🌿😊

Surrounded by beautiful trees and nature, the location is truly serene and relaxing. The pool could have been a bit cleaner, which might be due to the natural setting. The rooms are cozy, though a bit on the noisy side with sounds carrying through. Overall, it’s a lovely place to unwind.

It delivers what it promises. Very clean room with good AC and the staff is very friendly. Even thought it’s a hidden gem with a view to the tree tops it’s still very close to the ocean, about 5m walk. It’s located at the beach with the most beautiful sunset I’ve ever seen. There are many restaurants around that accept card payment, tuck tucks available all the time near the location and it’s from a walking distance from the main beach and also some convenience store. The breakfast is very simple and decent, it offers the essentials. Fruit platter, delicious omelet, toast, sweets platter and beverages. I would definitely stay again at this place.

There is 3 different locations for Somerset and we ended up at the wrong one at first because the local ride app doesn’t match the booking address with the hotel name. Even when you put the hotel name on google it gets confusing because the pictures and names of the hotels don’t match their location. So arriving there we thought it was a scam. Better to fix that bc it’s not a good first impression. Other than that the kettle was very old but the staff gave us hot water whenever requested.

The hotel is located on a hill, a few minutes from the main road and the beach. Within walking distance of Coconut Tree Hill. Nearby there is a cool Petti Petti restaurant and several coffee shops. I liked MACO, the coffee there is great. The hotel staff is unobtrusive and friendly, they helped us if we needed anything. A delicious omelette, fresh fruits, sausages, toast and some pastries were served for breakfast. We lived in a large room with a spacious bathroom with panoramic windows. Minimalistic design, pleasant stone floor. The balcony overlooking the jungle, where we had coffee in the morning. There were no problems with hot water, electricity, or air conditioning. WiFi was fast enough. In the pool, we took a lot of cool pictures with a view of the jungle.

Minor flaws did’t spoil the overall impression and atmosphere. Some things could look a little outdated than at the photo’s. It should be understood that the hotel is located next to the sea, so the materials are subject to erosion very quickly. There was no fresh coffee at breakfast, but there are a lot of places nearby, so was not a problem for us. The only thing that marred our stay here was renting a scooter through the contact we received from the personal. Himasha rented us a small, very old and rusty scooter. And the taxi driver, who was ordered for us by this guy, asked for a higher price than agreed right in the middle of the trip.

Amazing experience from start to finish. We started off with a different Accomodation that was inadequate and Somerset Mirissa took us in straight away. They were so helpful throughout our 3 nights there and had everything we needed when asked for it. It was amazing to see the monkeys there daily and the views were fabulous! I cannot thank the staff enough for everything they did for us, including transport back to the airport. If I were to come back to Mirissa I will be staying here!

We had a problem because I booked this hotel thinking it was on the beach as there are 2somerset hotels .I had booked the one up the hill just off the beach with the infinity pool.I wanted beach as we had travelled for over a week and wanted to rest a while. I looked at the room it was beautiful but had a mountain view .we swapped our booking to the beach. This wasn't as immaculate as the other hotel but on the beach.the staff were lovely. The breakfast was not too good. Not what I would expect for the money. They did have an egg person to do omelette. The food on the beach was a separate business as well so no guarantee of a sun bed and you had to say you would buy food . The food was excellent but the service was so slow. Omg 😱 Worth the wait as we were on holiday. Lots of places to eat locally.

Fly's and mosquitos in the hotel.the cleaner only did what I asked her to do. We had to keep asking for water and coffee. The place needed a good tidy up outside.

I have travelled to more than 50 countries and being to many hotels, so without fear I highly recommend Somerset Mirissa, it was very clean, the room was decent with a beautiful view over the pool and nature. The staff was very welcoming with a fresh local juice. I felt very safe and very comfortable. I personally don't even understand the bad reviews because honestly nothing was to complaint about. P.s: there is a short 5min hill walk from the main street but nothing exhausting and totally doable even with kids.

We had an amazing stay at this accommodation! The place was exactly as described. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, always willing to help. Their hospitality really made the experience even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a great place to stay!

Tucked away just barely out of reach of the "hustle and bustle" of the main strip at Mirrissa, Sommerset Mirissa is a real gem. Very easy to get to via tuk-tuk or by walking but when you arrive you feel that you're in the middle of the jungle. The infinity pool overlooks the treetops teeming with birds and at least two species of frequent primate visitors. The entire hotel was recently constructed, very well-kept, and clean. I would highly recommend a stay at Sommerset Mirissa whether for families, couples, or solo-travelers with a moderate budget and a desire for a more comfortable stay than what's available in other locations.

Close to Mirissa town and the beach, only a 3 minute walk. The hotel is modern, smart, very clean and run by lovely people. It overlooks the jungle at the back and you can see parrots, peacocks and monkeys from your balcony and the pool.

Nothing

The infinity pool was nice, very shallow, so more of a lounging pool, rather than one to do laps in. The twin room was spacious and clean and modern decor. Hotel itself was very nice and blends with the scenery. The breakfast was buffet style, a mixture of western and Sri Lankan style deserts - decent food. The AC was very good.

The hotel is situated up a short hill, steep but walkable. The neighbours do not necessarily give off the best vibes, but we didn't face any problems with them. The WiFi was quite poor, it only worked when we were sat on the balcony, which was a problem as I was planning to work whilst staying there. The hotel listed as having cooking classes available, one of the reasons for booking this hotel, which was not the case when we enquired in person at the front desk.
