Reviewed Aug 4, 2025Wir sind direkt vom Flughafen ins Hamlet gefahren, um erstmal ein paar Tage runterzukommen, bevor die eigentliche Reise startet. Man kann kaum einen besseren Ort dafür finden als das Hamlet, dass von einem herzlichen und liebenswerten Ehepaar geführt wird. Es gibt nur einen Bungalow - ihr seid also allein auf dem gesamten Grundstück. Das Ehepaar verbreitet eine wunderbare Atmosphäre und hilft bei allen Fragen und Problemen.
Wenn ihr das "echte" Sri Lanka erleben wollt, geht ihr einfach mal vor die Tür - hier gibt es keine weiteren Touristen. Unbedingt empfehlenswert ist ein Ausflug nach Chilaw (Bootfahrt in die Mangroven, Fischmarkt, Tempel, sehr gutes Masala Dosa) mit dem Tuktuk.
Vielen Dank nochmals für eure Gastfreundschaft!

Reviewed Jul 17, 2025The comfort of the house, the friendliness of the family and the wonderful home-cooked food.
This is truly a gem. The 'homestay' is in reality a lovely house with all the comfort you can think of, including a small private pool. The house is built in the - huge - yard of the family, but everything is geared towards your privacy. The host Sherry is a wonderful cook, and can teach you everything on Sri Lankan food. Her husband can arrange for trips and further transport.
Definitely the best place we've stayed in in Sri Lanka.

Reviewed Jul 11, 2025This accommodation is very special and we felt like we were in an oasis of calm. The pool was perfect, the house is in a beautiful garden among coconut palms. The mini house is very well equipped for European style (we very much appreciated the separate shower). We really haven't found a single mistake. Too bad we only stayed one night, it was probably the best accommodation we had in Sri Lanka for a month.
Lots of chlorine in the pool, but we understand that maintenance is challenging in Sri Lankan conditions.

Reviewed May 23, 2025We LOVED our stay at Elegant Hamlets. Don't be fooled by the name.... it is one hamlet that is totally for you and your guests to enjoy. You are positioned away from the hosts and it feels like you are in your own private oasis. Our hosts were extraordinary, going out of their way to make sure absolutely everything was perfect. Breakfast was lovely and served in the gorgeous outdoor kitchen area. We made good use of the plunge pool..... just right for those humid Sri Lankan days. Our stay was far enough away from the busy areas but close enough that we were able to go out exploring in the area and return home easily. If you are looking for amazing hosts, a quiet haven away from everyone and for a gorgeous hamlet to relax in, then this is the place for you. You will not be disappointed.

Reviewed Apr 29, 2025We had an extraordinary stay at Elegant Hamlets Home Stay. The accommodation is one large A framed villa that is set in a beautiful and peaceful garden. Privacy is key!!!! Even though you are right beside the owners in their own house, your villa faces away from the owners' property and is in its own yard. Step out into your private garden and enjoy your very own small plunge pool... perfect for those hot and humid Sri Lankan days and nights. The pool area also has numerous options for seating and enjoying the pool area. Inside, the villa certainly exudes its own charm, with an upstairs mezzanine containing 2 single beds. We were met with a cool, refreshing juice and indulged in breakfast each morning which was very tasty. Our tuk tuk was happily parked under the covered carport and the detached kitchen area, containing everything you need to do your own cooking OR a great place to indulge in breakfast, was an added bonus. Overall, the facilities offered were outstanding, as were our hosts. This was our favourite stay in Sri Lanka!!
