Our world marissa was close to the beach and very central to everything. The Family made me feel very welcome, and helped with all my needs. The room is simple, but perfect if you're out most of the day... And the garden terrace was very relaxing, great place to read a book.
Mossies all over Marissa as the sun goes down, but spray puts an end to them
Расположение близко к океану, магазинам и ресторанам. Большая комната. Кухня. Хорошая хозяйка. Красивый сад
Location and the staff were excellent.
Nette Besitzerin. Ich konnte schon früh einchecken. Preis/Leistung sensationell. Separate Küche für Gäste.. Haben such restaurant am Stranf. Dort konnte ich Strandliege kostenlos nutzen.
Ei kleines Licht sm Bett wäre toll
Lovely place, attended by a nice local family. Very close to the beach, bus station, and restaurants. Rooms come with their own little patio overlooking the garden. One of my favorite places so far, would def recommend.
The host was very friendly snd sweet with a good room, table outside snd communal area.
Die Gastgeberin ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Das Zimmer und Bad sind sehr sauber. Vor der Tür ist eone Terrasse mit Tisch und Stühlen,, mit Blick in den Garten. Es gibt sogar eine sehr saubere Selbstversorgetkuche. Ausserdem ist Our World in gehweite vom Strand entfernt. Und hat der Aufenthalt hier sehr gut gefallen und das Preis Leistungsverhältnis stimmt auf alle Fälle.
The location is perfect. The price is good for what you get and it is clean, however if you’re an animal lover like me do not book this place… the owner has three dogs tied up 24/7. She said they are let loose at night but this is a lie as I saw them day and night tied on very short ropes.. I went to stroke them and was absolutely disgusted that one of them had a very deep cut all round its neck and no hair in this area and old scars so it had obviously been tied like this a long time… the owner lied saying a guest didn’t like dogs, then she changed her mind and said the dog wasn’t safe and bit her and her son… I stroked the dog every day .. this dog was not aggressive at all and was so sweet and friendly… it really upset me to see it like this with the rope so tight almost strangling it…. the whole situation was distressing so I left. If your not an animal lover you will be fine, but if you are do not stay here as the cruelty is very distressing
Animal cruelty
The location of the place is excellent - a few minutes walk, cross a busy road and you are at the beach. It is a quite place with loads of trees and a garden. I really liked a small shared kitchen with a fridge. The caretakers are really nice.
The place is next to a huge open drain.. which does bring in a lot of mosquitoes, specially if you want to sit outdoors in the evening.
It was ok as per price. Beach, market , hotel and bus stop was near.
There was not towel , and pilo I felt smell. It should be better with this price.
Close to the main beach and all the stores, restaurants and bar Comfy bed, Neat and tidy Spacious room Warm welcome host Easy check in Value for money Definitely recommend
Nothing at all second time here and happy stay
this place is located near Mirissa beach.
There are so many mesquites.
I love this place so much !!!!! I have booked for 3 night but extended to 7 because everything was so awsome !!!!!i like the room with tarace or balcony very quiet ocean is just when you cross the road and you can still here the waves :) The owners have beautiful energy close everyvere as is city center but still quiet because is not on the main road I hardly recomend this place 💙💙💙💙
Excellent location, close to beach. Owner was kind and accommodating. Room was quite clean and comfortable.
Not the fault of the property, but FYI you do have to walk next to a stinky river to get there. But there are much more costly properties with the same problem. This place was excellent value for money. We would stay again despite this one negative thing
Inorka was so kind and welcoming, helped me so much. Supportive loving place. great for a solo traveller female. location was walking distance from beach and cafes.
no Ac
everything you need and more. Lovely staff, perfect location just seconds from the beach, you can walk there bare foot pretty much! Moments from great restaurants and 5mins from the gym. Basic but nice kitchen for everyone to use. Facilities were great, hot water, towels, and everything you may need. Would stay again and highly recommend!
Wi-FI was good but better outside of the rooms, if you are working it's best to bring your mobile data or work outside of the room. Not a big deal though, I worked online outside in nature :D
Loved everything about this stay! Short walk to the beach! Huge private room, with a fan and en-suite. Lovely balcony area to sit and a washing line to dry clothes after the beach! Down a very safe lane
Nothing, love this accomadation
I had upper corner room, was great privacy, very comfortable, they cleaned the room, wifi was great, and even small kitchen available, highly recommended. It is very close to the beach and all stores in the town. Family is very nice and helpful.
all great
The land lady was lovely, so thoughtful and kind. When it began to rain, I went out to get our washing in however she was already getting it in. She also showed us an undercover area to use. We wanted to dry out a wet phone and asked for some rice to help and she kindly gave us some without allowing us to give her money for it. The room was clean and the hot water shower was nice.
It was a comfortable little room with a nice covered patio. There are screens on the windows, rather rare in Sri Lanka.
To get to and from the property you must pass a nasty, foul-smelling sewage pit of a creek that is just outside the gate. Fortunately the smell doesn’t get into the compound. The mosquitoes are on that nice patio all day, not just in the evening, so we hung out in the room with the fan on.
My recent stay at Our World was an incredibly comfortable experience, especially for the price. The cozy atmosphere of the property truly makes it feel like a home away from home. This homestay is also literally at a 2 mins walk to the Mirissa Beach. Inoka, the owner, is absolutely wonderful—very sweet and welcoming. Her warm hospitality added a personal touch to the stay. The homestay has a small kitchen that guests can use to prepare small meals or enjoy a cup of tea or coffee, which is very convenient. The property also features a lovely garden that enhances the charm of the place, and the ample sunlight streaming in makes it feel vibrant and refreshing. Overall, it’s an excellent choice for a peaceful and budget-friendly stay in Mirissa. Highly recommended!
There was nothing to not like about this property.
The host family is very kind and hospitable. The room was enough spacious and very quiet which is ideal for a sound sleep. The beach is very close, just less than a 2-minute walk away. They also have a cafe on the beach where you can enjoy delicious food with stunning beach views.
Nothing
Very good location in center of everything and also very close to the beach. Nice, green place, room was with hot water. Special thanks to the owners, they supported me in everything I needed. Also possible to rent bike here at very good price. Would consider to come here again
The location is great! Close to the Main Street but “hidden” enough to don’t have the noise of people and cars at night. If you just need a place to sleep in Mirissa, this is the one. Good facilities for the price
This is my second time staying with Inoka. Everyone always comes back. She is very kind and attentive. You can stay upstairs with a balcony or downstairs with a patio. The downstairs rooms have hot water heaters. There are two routers so WiFi is good. If you have an issue just ask Inoka! Everyone has access to a small kitchen with the essentials, including fridge, kettle and two burners. You can’t be better positioned in Mirissa — right across from Parrot Rock, a bus stop, atm, roti shop, walking distance to Turtle Bay, and lots of cafes and restaurants. But you’re tucked away on a quiet side street where it’s peaceful. The bedding and towels smell super good from the softener! If you need laundry done as well, they have a lady who does it! I personally recommend omitting your white clothing from the load to avoid the risk of color bleeding in the load. They also run a veg curry buffet across the street right on the beach under the same name for 1000k ¨̮
Happy I found this place, steps from the beach, green surrounding,all you need in one place. The room is spacious , bathroom too, big front terrace , kitchen and a tranquil atmosphere. The room has big bed , good window for airing and free towel and toilet paper. I like the fact that there is a kitchen with stove, fridge , kettle and plenty dishes to use. Just steps from the beach, I can even see from terrace the sunset lights and hear the waves, that close. The garden is well kept, green and clean. They also have a coffee right in the beach with buffet and fresh coconut from where I watched the sunset . I will be back for sure !
Really well located, close to Mirissa beach with lots of shops and restaurants close by. Lovely family run homestay, the family take care to make it as pleasant as possible for you. Great lower cost option for backpackers and those on a budget. Hot shower!!
Through no fault of the family, close to a swamp, however you don’t notice it so much once through the homestay gates
Central location, the beach is just across the street. Rooms are very clean, and the bedsheets smell of a very good softener. The house is great, we extended the stay for longer. It's perfect for long stays as well. There was electric gezer. The lady was every day firing those anti mosquito spirals on the balcony for us! There is a small shared kitchen which was in good condition and well equipped. Close to many restaurants, supermarkets and everything we needed. So far the best stay in Sri Lanka
Location is very good and family who runs the place are super helpful. I needed helmet for motorbike trip and they borrowed me one.
Our World Mirissa is the best place where you can stay in Mirissa. The lady for the house was so nice with us. She give us a motorbike for 1 week! You have here a nice terrase, a good place where you can coock. Amazing place! We come back next year! 🙏
- good value for the money - the family was super nice and kind - we had a separate cabana with an outdoor area - space to hang our wet clothes - every evening there was a mosquito repellent smoking outside our door - there was kitchen available with kettle and fridge - the water was not super cold nor super hot. I’d say I washed my long hair not as uncomfortably as in the other places but it was still not comfortable (if you know you know😅)
- every morning there was a looooot of noise from the birds around. And I mean a lot, it was difficult to get some sleep past 4am - the room wasn’t super clean, there was sand on the floor and on the little carpets from the beggining - I wasn’t sure about the cleaning of the bathroom so I wiped everything with antibacterial wipes before we used it. - the mosquito nets were not long enough to cover the bed till the floor, we had to work around it, but anyways we were both bitten quite a lot It is a budget stay and really if not the noise I would recommend it more. But again… super cheap. 🤷🏼♀️
The garden and the quietness even though it‘s so central.
The rooms were standard but good value for the money.
I really enjoyed the location! Just 5 minutes to the ocean and restaurants where you can pay by card:)The owner was superb cute woman
The hosts were very helpful, they provide me with all the Information and even I had a trouble to find the place since it was dark, they picked me up. The whole house is a traditional homestay with a number of dogs, which were barking at some point, I don't know why, so be prepared that you will not find something luxurious or western style accommodation.
Unfortunately, no hot water was available. No AC, only fans, and I didn't find it very clean, especially the sheets. My biggest issue was, however, that there was only one plug far away from the bed, and it wasn't convenient to charge my camera, my phone, and all my equipment. The water was cut one day after 12 o'clock in the night. I saw a dead scorpion in the outdoor area downstairs and a snake outside of the accommodation close to the river since the road leading to the hotel is a gravel road. I have to say that when I came to the place I was already suffering stomach sickness and pain and for me it wasn't the ideal place to stay, I needed hot water, very clean sheets and a more western type of a accommodation.
The host was very nice, she gave us an umbrella as it was rainkng heavily and after check out she stores our bags for us for a few hours
The property is very close to the beach and easily accessible to the other main attractions. The room is very spacious and the kitchen is well stocked. The staff were incredibly helpful!!! We had issues with our Tuktuk when checking out as it wouldn’t start and the host called us a repair man to fix it. We were also allowed to stay in our room past check out whilst we waited for it to be fixed! Couldn’t recommend a more lovely property!
Great host, very nice cozy yard and a comfortable room with a good fan that keeps you cool. The beach is very close, and the hotel is in a quiet place. Perfect for a good rest. The kitchen was a gem - the whole time in Mirissa we have been buying a bunch of sea food in Cargill’s for cheap and cooking awesome dinners
Near to Mirrisa main beach
location is awesome, just across the beautiful beach, lots of restaurants around, close to everything, bus station, supermarkets. the room is great, spacious, bathroom also. we had a big shared balcony and also a shared kitchen available. house owners and nice and friendly.
- so close to the ocean! - clean - nice own space in front of the room with table and chair! - no traffic noises; almost as if you are in nature - no smell caused by the river - cute owner trying to help as much as possible - the room feels like an own little cottage - in a few minutes at the beach and the parrot rock - in a few minutes at most various food places! No scooter/tuktuk necessary
- first impression isn’t that cool, because it is on a really small bumpy road located - BUT it’s great!
Best place near Mirissa Beach!
It is a beautiful, nice and calm place. It's off the Main Road and you hear the waves all the time. Fitting for everyone who wants privat space. The bathroom was very comfortable and Clean. Fan ist working and you have an Adapter for charger. WiFi ist ok and free. The exotic birds singing in the morning and you sometimes get wild visitors. Monkeys, but they are peaceful and Just curious, Not aggressiv. I Had a huge balcony to sit outside and enjoy the exotic Garden around. The owners are really nice people and you have a small kitchen. You get towels and something to cover at night and there is a moskitonet. Restaurant, ATM, and beach is 2 MINUTES away. I will Sure come back . What do you want more?
So, What do I hate? I hate, that I did Not come earlier. And that I can't stay longer.
Wifi was great, we got an own router for our room. Host is super friendly. Beach is just one min away.
You could sometimes smell the river in front if the guesthouse
The accommodation was basic but clean and with a really nice terrace. The was also access to good quality wifi. The garden around is well maintained and the location is great. I recommend!
You can hear everything from your neighbors' bathroom which might be pretty intimidating.
We booked the room just for two nights because we didn’t have a plan where to go exactly ,but we liked the accommodation so much that we decided to stay for 10 more nights. Location is amazing,it is literally two minutes from the beach as they say.Lots of restaurants and shops close by,but it is still situated in the area which is calm and quiet. Beautiful and clean rooms,fast wifi conection,mosquito net,comfy bed,lovely terrace and well equipped kitchen for guests to use. And I must mention the beautiful and kind lady who runs the place,she always welcomes u with a smile!
Everything was perfect,there is nothing we didn’t like.
great location, near the beach, there is a small kitchen with refrigerator, lovely good room compared the price and muscitonet included, 300 m from the beach, lovely green garden, the lady of the house has a beautiful smile and is always friendly and helpful
The property was very close to the beach only a couple of minutes walk. Nice clean and bright room. Lots of space to hang swimming clothes. Comfy bed. Towels provided. Good price and value for money.
The smell of sewage coming from the canal next to the property was horrible and hard to avoid when sitting outside. The dog that lived at the property would be constantly howling and making a lot of noise.
Great Location Very nice host
Could have been a little bit cleaner There is only cold water (which is ok for the temperatures and the price of the room) It was a bit noisy
Perfect stay. Very friendly and nice family. A blessing to be around. Close to beach, but not as crowded and noisy. An extra bonus is now a little outdoor kitchen.
It is an amazing place in nature and only 50m from the beach.The family is super sweet and friendly, always there for yoiu when you need help, but always respect your privacy. They also run a small restaurant at the beach with an fantast, vegetarian All you can eat buffet for a very good price. Everythingis very clean, you can use the small kitchen too. There is laundry service available and you can watch birds, monkeys, warans and squirrels.The whole place has such a good relaxed Energy, that you really don't want to leave, cause you feel at home, and of cause the price is wonderful too❤️❤️❤️
Nothing not to like
Very friendly people. Close to the beach Nice kitchen with a big new fridge
Ubication is very good Woman help us with tips about transportation, prices
I didnt expect a lot but it was really nice stay in this accommodation. It is budget option in Mirissa but for that price it was perfect. The property is only 2 minutes from the main entrance to the beach. There is nice garden full of flowers and I had my own big terrace. The room is basic but clean - there is hanger for clothes, table, big mirror and mosquito net. During a night you can open the window for fresh air. I could even hear sounds of waves during the night. Family that runs this guest house is super friendly. I like our conversations with the host. I think we became quite good friends with her (: She speaks very good English. And as a bonus they have adorable small puppy named Brown and you can play with him.
Maybe hot water but for that price is was ok.
It was comfortable and clean
The location was exelect,the host was friendly and very helpful!
Friendly staff, great location a short walk from the beach. Chilled and relaxed vibe. Cheap!
Close to the beach. A quiet corner. Value for money.
Nothing much.
Nice place, great location, and very friendly host!
The location is good.. Value of money Good host
Maintenance is needed for the bathroom You get what you pay for ;)
very convenient location and friendly hosts
nothing, it was very good value for money
Fairly close to the Beach and not to close to busy main road. Nice big terasse on the upper floor.
Great location to Mirissa Beach and strong wifi most of the time. Nice outside seating possibility. The cheap price is the main reason to book this place
Room and bathroom smelled moldy, so did the blankets and towels. Overall cleanliness should be improved in the rooms. The whole place felt a bit unwelcoming, unlike many other Homestay/Guesthouse in a similar price range in Sri Lanka.
Nice little Hostel, with small Kitchen (very basic). Every little apartment has a Terrance and the beach is less the 2 min walking away. The owners a very polite and quiet but super nice. We loved this place and felt very comfortable
Mosquitoes. Like very where in Sri Lanka, bring bug spray or insence
The family is amazing! Inoka helped me anytime I needed and she's so kind and always ready to assist you in any way she can! The location is perfect, just accross the street there is Mirissa Beach and it's very close to restaurants and bus stop! I would definitely come back!
Wonderful quiet location yet still centrally located close to the beach and restaurants. The hostess is very kind and helpful, beds are comfy, the rooms are a good size, all overlooking a pretty private garden with jackfruit and papaya trees... we even had the best jackfruit curry homemade by the hostess with jackfruits and coconuts from the garden! It was yummy!
The host is so lovely and friendly! We could not believe how incredibly close we were to the beach, less than a minutes walk. Absolute paradise, we loved our stay at Our World and hope to return
Price was good and host was lovely
Received lots of insect bites. Had to move out to stop being bitten. Poor mosquito net setup and property is right next to a mini swamp, so stagnant water
it is a lovely property - the hosts are so kind and welcoming. we spent 4 nights here and we felt comfortable straight away. great location too.
