the host was amazing and super helpful lovely family! very caring peaceful and adorable place to stay!

Naprosto výjimečná lokalita, velmi vstřícná a ochotná rodina. Pán na vzal zdarma na výlet za želvám, nabídnul kajak, půjčil kolo. Výborné domácí jídlo

La guest house se trouve en pleine nature mais à 10 mn à pied de la mer...Elle est tenue par une famille Sri Lankaise qui réserve un très bon accueil à ses clients ..Et la maman cuisine des petits déjeuners et des dîners savoureux et copieux La chambre très spacieuse était très confortable. avec sa petite terrasse devant. Grande salle de bain. Et le fils de la maison qui parle anglais m'a procuré un tuktuk à un très bon prix pour aller à Mirissa Il y a un très bon rapport qualité/prix Je suis vraiment enchantée de mon séjour au Star Sun homestay

Beautiful homestay, beautiful family!

The rain!

We absolutely loved our stay at Star Sun Guest House and extended it for another 12 nights! It was easily the best place, and the best food, we experienced during our entire one-month trip around Sri Lanka. The location is perfect: right opposite a lagoon and just a short walk to the beach, surrounded by nature in peace and quiet. Breakfasts and dinners were delicious and plentiful - everything was excellent value for money. Chami and his family were fantastic hosts and always available whenever we needed anything. We also rented kayaks from them at a great price and had a lovely paddle on the lagoon. We would highly recommend this guest house!

It was like a little retreat in the jungle

A bit far from everything, which may be what some are looking for!

Lovely place, the owners are amazing. The house is in the nature and this is fabulous

All good

I loved my stay here. It's for those who prefer more natural, simple and tranquil places made with care. Chamith and his family are excellent hosts. The homemade Sri Lankan breakfast was trully one of the best in my life! Thank you. I will be back 😊

Very nice price to quality rate. Great location on a nice walk from the beach. The people are very welcoming and the room was clean and cozy. Best bed we had in a month!

Very quick and relaxing Nice family taking care of us, even help us to catch the right bus to live

really lovely and peaceful place next to the lagoon and a 10 minute walk away from the beach. the host and his family were welcoming and kind - we went turtle watching to the beach at night together and it was an amazing experience :) also had really good srilankean breakfast and dinner there

This was a beautiful homestay I’m a quiet and beautiful location a short walk from the beach. The family I stayed with was so kind and welcoming and it was wonderful to meet them. It was one of my favorite places I’ve stayed in Sri Lanka because it is tucked back on a small dirt road and far from the town, it has a beautiful and quiet atmosphere.

Very nice people and they serve the best food I've tried in Sri Lanka.

This is such a lovely place. Surrounded by nature (lagoons) and close to an amazing beach (in fact one of the nicest and emptiest ones I visited in the south), really chilled and quiet and an absolutely lovely family. Food is cheap and delicious, room is basic but clean and at a very good rate. The owner even took me to see the turtles at night, so kind. One of my favourite places I stayed at! Highly recommend!

Star Sun Homestay is the best Home Stay that I had the privilege to stay at in Sri Lanka. The Hosts are extremely friendly , and the family are so kind and humble. I really wish I could have stayed longer after meeting a certain family member - Sunethra Nandani , whom was so sweet and invited me for dinner one night whilst I was wondering around aimlessly exploring. After being charmed and having dinner with them , I shuffled my bookings around so I could stay with them for the night . They are a very traditional family who are very happy to help you improve your singhala or discuss the latest social economic issues or anything else you fancy. The head host also acts as a night guide to guide you down to the beach at night and see the Turtles! The food here is also great , far better than the larger hotel I stayed in Tangalle , The mama cooked very tasty real traditional Sri Lankan food! The location is also very good at around a 1km scenic walk down a small track to the beach , The home is in the middle of a naturally peaceful , quiet jungle environment, but also close enough to the main road if you are doing any day trips. If you want to experience real Sri Lankan hospitality and it's culture at its finest, then please stay here!

Leaving so early.

Lovely family. Good food. Great location. Would stay again.

I recommend this place to every budget traveler. You get a great value for what you pay, the location is perfect, sorrounded by nature, really peaceful, 5min walk from the beach and a street with a lot of restaurants an cafes. The family that run the place are very welcoming, and the rice and curries that the mother makes is delicious for only 800rupees per person! We loved to stay here :)

Bungalows are very nice and the price is unbeatable! The owner is so amazingly kind and always available for any request. Beach, restaurants and temples are nearby. Excellent experience, strongly recommended

We loved staying in this quiet and lovely place surrounded by nature and friendly people. We had a scooter so getting to town was easy. The host welcomed us really nicely, took to the beach to look for turtles, and prepared delicious fish upon our request:) the beautiful Tangalle beach is within walking distance and if you fancy a proper coffee there is a little pumpkin cafe nearby with best coffee we had in Sri Lanka! The place is rural so expect all kinds of insects:)

A quiete and cheap place. Its run by a family. They are cery nice. You can also have breakfast and lunch there for only 800 Rupees. I highly recommend eating there.

The rooms are basic. Nothing special, but they are clean. For that price defenitely fine.

A very welcoming, kind and friendly host. I had minimal contact with the rest of the family but lots of friendly smiles exchanged. The location is back from the street of restaurants and near a lagoon (10 minutes walk) so with this you get to see so many animals and creatures which for me was fantastic. The host kindly took me on a beach walk at night to try and see the turtles laying their eggs as the season had begun. We spent 2 hours on the beach, unfortunately no sightings but this is nature and there were tracks from days before. Think the next few weeks the sighting will be more certain- enjoyed and appreciated the gesture regardless. I rented a bike for very cheap for the whole day and went on a trip to silent beach with this. There are plenty of beaches to stop at on the way also. Rooms are basic and clean. In comparison to property around it's a brilliant homestay :)

N/A

A sweet family run place in nature at the Tangalle lagoon, literally feels as if living in a jungle. They greeted me with a tasty papaya juice! Beach is only 10 min walk away, there is a shallow swimming place away from the waves. Rooms are simple and have basic amenities. Beds have mosquito nets. Great local breakfast but it is spicy even when you ask for non-spicy. Fan's cooling effects don't reach the bed well through the mosquito net so it can get a bit hot. But it's a beautiful place and I extended my stay, the lagoon is a sight to see. There are many peacocks peacefully walking around. From the main road there are a lot of buses to Tangalle and other places, it only takes about 20 min so it's a great place to stay if you want to visit the town but prefer a more quiet stay in nature. Hiriketiya is also close for a day trip and beach visit.

Red chilli in my food even after asking for not spicy repeatedly... (I still ate the breakfast because it was tasty otherwise). It can get a little hot in the room if you're not used to heat.

Familly was helpful amd welcoming, stay was peacefull, surrounded by nature and rally close to the beach, just 5min walk. A little bit further from the town. Food was good and portions big! For this price i think that stay was perfect.

A great choice for travellers who love peace and quiet and nature. The accommodation is located on the lagoon, close to the beach. The family is very nice, they showed you all the interesting places in the area. The food is great, super home cooking. The room is also comfortable.

The only shortcoming is that there is no wardrobe or shelf to put things on. If there was there would be comfort

The family has been super welcoming and adorable . We spent the New Year with them and they offered some delicious food for dinner every day ! The room is super comfortable and the ensuite bathroom was clean enough. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone coming to Tangalle

Nothing, it was great !

Nice host and while family. He went with us to see big turtles! That was amazing experience. He give us a lot of advices what to see around. Amazing breakfast and dinner.!

Everything is really nice here. Only one thing to change in future: We paid for room on upper balcony but we didn't received it, as other tourists extended their holiday. In that case I'd advice reallocate tourists which extend room, instead of new ones.

Very warm and welcoming people. They try to help you with everything you need. We felt at home! Location just a little walk from the beach. Very basic room and no warm water but we would recommend staying here!

We had an amazing experience at Star Sun Homestay in Sri Lanka. Chamith was an incredible host, welcoming us with open arms and providing us with valuable tips on where to see turtles and which temples to visit. His knowledge and guidance made our trip unforgettable. While it's important to note that Star Sun Homestay is not a luxury hotel, it offers a unique experience that allows you to immerse yourself in nature and enjoy delicious food and exceptional hospitality. The accommodations may not be top-of-the-line, but the warmth and friendliness of the staff more than make up for it. If you're looking for a genuine Sri Lankan experience, away from the typical tourist hotspots, then Star Sun Homestay is the perfect place for you. I can't recommend it enough and can't wait to go back. Thank you, Chamith, for making our stay so memorable.

Spiders

Nice place and location! It's perfect if you want some peace. I could see many animals around and wake up every morning with the sounds of the peacock. The family is kind and the food is delicious.

Our little hut at Star Sun Homestay was great. We had our own balcony, and the homestay is just a five to ten minute walk away from the ocean. You can see a lot of fireflies in the evening and everything is very quiet. It's just a shirt walk up the road to catch a bus. The owner is very friendly. He told us where the best beaches were and went with us at night to watch a turtle lay eggs. The whole stay was a great experience amidst nature.

The only thing I found a bit uncomfortable is that the owner wouldn't look at me while talking to us. Only at my partner. I guess that's part of the culture, but it still felt weird.

Amazing stay, will be back

Wonderful People
