Three Little Birds

La gentillesse d'Indika et son enthousiasme communicatif. Une belle rencontre ! Admirer les nombreux oiseaux au petit matin depuis la terrasse et plus tard les buffles qui se prélassent dans le marais... Un endroit très paisible !

Everything 🤩 Amazing host and awesome views 😃

Muy agradable y las instalaciones a un precio inmejorable!

Je crois que ce n’est pas possible d’avoir meilleur logement avec une gentillesse ainsi

My favorite guesthouse in Sri Lanka! At first I booked only for one night but ended up staying four nights. Peaceful and beautiful place in Tangalle. Bit far from city center but close to nature that you can relax with no car sound. I saw waterbuffalos, birds, peacocks, lizards roaming around a wide field just from my window. Sitting in the balcony and watching them was my favorite thing. It's so amazing that Indika built this whole place on his own. Such a unique and wonderful place with lovely details he put his effort in. Wide and comfy bed and clean bathroom. I also enjoyed kayaking that Indika suggested. Kayaking in lagoon and mangrove forest, we spotted lots of different birds and beautiful sunset. You can walk to Tangalle beach or take a bus to Goyamboka beach, Hiriketiya, and Dikwella. I went there as a day trip while staying here. Dinner was provided in additional cost, which was delicious. He offered laundry service with very affordable cost and it was way better than other laundry places. It felt like home during my stay. Indika truely cares his guests. He is such a nice and kind person. I enjoyed chatting with him. I'm definitely coming back here when I visit Sri Lanka again. I highly recommend here. Thank you so much Indika:)

Tout étais parfait, nous sommes au calme de la ville mais pas très loin en vélo (je le prenais tous les jours pour visiter les plages) les repas sont délicieux et varié (Hindiky est meilleure cuisinier qu’il le fait croire). Le cadre est reposant, Hidiky est au petit soins et c’est très intéressant de discuter avec lui, des animaux vous rende visite (écureuil, singe, tortue et Varan) je recommande vivement cette auberge.

Amazing host, great area and a nice room. Really good food. We’d definetely come back!

I've been in srilanka for almost 6 months and this is by far the best budget accommodation I've stayed in. Walking distance to the beach, a short bus ride to Tangalle . The atmosphere is very relaxed and Indika the owner , like many other good Srilankan host will do whatever he can to make your stay as comfortable and stress free as he can . I could go on , but suffice to say , this is a brilliant place to get away from it all and just relax and chill . I booked for 2 nights but stayed over a week. You can't get better for the price.

Everything was good 👍

Indhika was such an amazing host.

We really enjoyed observing dozens of bird species right from our accommodation! Painted storks, kingfishers... From the balcony, we spotted langurs (black monkeys), monitor lizards, buffalo, and chipmunks 🐿. We went kayaking with Indika, who showed us a channel through the mangroves and the birds. We saw buffalo crossing the ford with herons on their backs. Nice cotton bed linens. A large balcony with pleasant, interesting reviews from previous guests. Even though we don't usually order breakfast, they treated us to Sri Lankan delicacies they prepared for us. They even presented us beautiful souvenirs! They gave us lots of helpful recommendations and were very attentive to our questions. Indika and Majit, our hosts, are open, positive, and welcoming. We were so lucky to meet and become friends with them! We would be very happy to stay here again☀️❤️🙏

Ich habe ein weiteres mal in der Unterkunft eingecheckt, um die Ruhe zu genießen. Die Cabañas sind wirklich toll, vor allem für den Preis! Absolut empfehlenswert für traveller die mal eine Auszeit benötigen!

Wer abseits des touristischen Trubels Ruhe sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Das Highlight ist der direkte Blick auf das angrenzende Naturgebiet – Vögel und Wasserbüffel inklusive. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber, der Balkon bietet zusätzlich Raum zum Verweilen. Besitzer Indika macht den Aufenthalt besonders: Er spricht gut Englisch, ist zuvorkommend, begegnet einem auf Augenhöhe und lässt einen, wenn man will, an seinem Leben teilhaben. Man spürt, dass es ihm nicht primär ums Geld geht. Ich würde jederzeit wiederkommen

Indika est un hôte incroyable ! Tellement gentil, toujours aux petits soins, heureux de discuter avec ses clients ! La chambre est nickel, très propre, il y a tout ce dont on a besoin. Le lit est confortable. Un espace hamac / tables et chaises devant notre chambre nous a permis de profiter de l'extérieur, de tous les petits oiseaux et autres animaux qu'on voit depuis le homestay. Le dîner et petit-déjeuner proposer sont délicieux et à un prix raisonnable. Notre meilleur homestay au Sri Lanka, merci Indika pour votre accueil !

Thank you for your kindness and warm hospitality during my stay—I really appreciated how much care you put into making guests feel welcome!!!!! 🐢 The guest house is comfortable, well maintained, and surrounded by beautiful nature. The host is very attentive and hands-on that many guests will appreciate.

Superbe emplacement, personnel adorable ! L’endroit est super beau !

Wir konnten eine Scooter ausborgen und es hat alles gepasst. Es gibt viel zu sehen in der näheren Umgebung. Vielen Dank!

Indika est super sympa et fera tout pour que votre séjour soit réussi ! Je voulais aller pêcher et il m’a emmené 😊 Repas super bons! Possibilité d’observer les oiseaux en kayak (tôt le matin ou le soir) pour 2500 rp Lessive sur place Chambre très propre Eau chaude !!!!!

Überaus zuvorkommender Gastgeber! Super Balkon zum Vögel und Wasserbüffel beobachten. Kajak Tour ist auch sehr zu empfehlen!

The host Indikha is a kindhearted man who went above and beyond to make sure you have the best time here. On top of this you can wake up and enjoy a relaxing cup of tea on the patio that overlooks a lake with a lot of wildlife. If you need some transportation Indikha will gladly rent you his motorcycle. I highly recommend staying here if you want to experience the Sri Lankan hospitality.

Liegt sehr ruhig am Rand des Naturschutzgebietes. Der Besitzer ist sehr bemüht. Er besitzt ein Tuktuk und organisiert Ausflüge. Auch kocht er vegetarisches Dinner und macht ein ortsübliches Frühstück gegen Aufpreis. Toll für Naturliebhaber, die Ruhe suchen und nichts gegen kleine Frösche und Geckos im Zimmer haben.

Liegt sehr weit ausserhalb. Keine Einkaufsmöglichkeit und keine Restaurants in der Nähe.

Wer Ruhe in der Natur sucht und es Budget mag, ist hier genau richtig. Inmitten von Natur und dem Sound der Vögel aufwachen. Frühstück war ganz gut, Abendessen konnte gebucht werden, war einfach aber ausreichend. Getränke außer Wasser mussten bestellt oder selber besorgt werden. Tuk tuk service wird angeboten, da es fern von Restaurant und Shops liegt Es ist nur ein ganz kleiner Mini Markt fußläufig. Indra hat sich alle mühe gegeben die Gäste Happy zu machen. Toller Ort zum Entspannen

Ziemlich weit ab

El que més m'ha agadat ha estat lo agradable que fa l'estada l'hoste, la pau que hi ha i les bones energies

Удобный свободный и чистый номер. Большая ванная комната. В целом свободно, уютно и удобно ). Прекрасный балкон , пение птиц весь день 🤩. Также можно наблюдать варанов, павлинов, буйволов , диких ШриЛанкийских петухов. Хороший Wi-Fi. Отличные сытные 🙃 завтраки !!

Great value for money! Very basic rooms, but everything you need. The vibe at the place and the location, overlooking a field with many birds makes the place so great. Indika is very helpful and enthusiastic about his job. And the breakfast was great too, he made sure there were plenty of gluten freE options for me too. The bathroom looks very basic too, but it had the best shower I've had in a while here in Sri Lanka.

Indhika was so welcoming and friendly. He made sure we had everything we needed was great to chat to. He took us to the nearby safe place to swim and also took us kayaking which was really lovely. The breakfast was great and the location was very peaceful. I had a cold so Indhika was very kind and got me some medicine to help with my cough. He also offers laundry service which was very helpful, and a good price. Was our favourite place to stay so far, would definitely recommend!

The host Indhika was the best. He was so happy to help and answer any questions. It was great to have a hot shower and the room was very comfortable. Breakfast was also delicious!

Quelle belle rencontre... Indhika est une personne tellement sincère et bienveillante. Il fera tout pour que votre séjour reste mémorable. Cet endroit est un vrai havre de paix. La chambre est propre et confortable, c'est un très bon rapport qualité-prix. Il nous a expliqué plein de choses sur la vie au Sri Lanka. Nous avons fait une excursion en kayak avec lui (que l'on recommande fortement), nous avons découvert plein d'oiseaux grâce à lui. Nous gardons de bons souvenirs avec lui à tout jamais... Thank u very much 🥰🌞🌻

Very nice accommodation in the nature. Indika, the owner, is super friendly and makes EVERYTHING he can to assure you have a pleasant stay. Super recommended.

After a month in Sri Lanka, I can tell this was our best stay. Room was clean, terrace comfortable, surrounding nature beatiful and the owner Indhika has open mind and heart, knows english very well. We had great chats with him. And overall felt super welcomed.

Die Unterkunft ist an einem sehr ruhigen Ort gelegen, gut zum entspannen. Das Zimmer ist gross mit viel Platz, um seine Sachen zu verstauen. Zimmer und Badezimmer waren sauber. Die Gastgeber sind äusserst freundlich und sehr hilfsbereit, erzählen viel und lassen einen an ihrem Leben teilhaben. Man bekommt das beste Essen hier!! Würde jederzeit wiederkommen.

Three Little Birds was one of the first places we stayed in Sri Lanka and so far it's one of our favourites overall. We extended our 6-day stay by another 5 (we were lucky as we were off-season). Indhika is incredibly hospitable, a man with a big heart for whom running this place is much more than a business. Therefore, almost immediately we felt at home and finally truly relaxed. In beautiful natural surroundings and with good people around. We are really thankful for having a memory of staying at Indhika's place.

It s a beatifull place. Good for natur and bird lovers. The owner is such a warm hearted an helpfull person. Also the food was always realy tasty. .

I don’t even know where to begin. We read al the reviews and everything was so positive. We told ourself: “we will see.” The reviews did not lie. Indika is an amazing person, who services you to every demand. He always makes sure you have everything you need. You can see he really loves meeting new people. Breakfast and dinner was good. The location was nice. Not in a busy area and surounded with birds and a nice view over the wetlands. The room is basic, but it fits the price. Indika built everything himself, which we found very impressie. What you see on the pictures is what you get + an amazing host. We were sad to leave. This was one of the best homestays we stayed at.

I have nothing to complain about.

The homestay was absolutely beautiful with an amazing view of fields and nature with tons of animals and birds. The room was very nice with mosquito nets and air conditioning available. Honestly one of the prettiest places we’ve stayed. But that wasn’t the best part. The best thing about Three Little Birds was its owner Indhika. He was absolutely wonderful and went above and beyond to make our stay special and show us around. He took us out kayaking, he took us to a local beautiful temple, he gave us loads of incredible meals. The best host we’ve ever had!

A calm and peaceful place with the kindest owner. I loved the food. Will hopefully come back one day.

indika (the host) and the beautiful garden, especially in the evenings with some really good homemade food that they make :)

We had a wonderful stay in 3 little birds guest house. Everything was really nice. The place is so peaceful, surrounded by nature with a lot of animals (buffalos, many birds...) Indika, the owner is super friendly and helped us with everything we needed. + The food was super tasty and cheap :)

Clean accommodation, quiet area, helpful host. The owner, Indika, is very kind and helpful. He will go out of his way to organise things for you and make you feel relaxed. He is a very honest and kind man who tries to run his business with the guests as his top priority. I went for a kayak trip in the lagoon with him and that was really beautiful and peaceful, I definitely recommend it! There is a beautiful beach 20min walk from his place.

A little bit remote, if you don't hire a scooter. If you want to go to the shops or restaurants, you need to rely on the local bus or a tuk tuk.

The location surrounded by Nature and so peaceful. But the best part was Indi who couldn't do enough for me and made me very welcome along with his wife who cooked me some lovely food for breakfast lunch and dinner I will be back.

Nothing

I was really happy to stay in the 3 little birds Indka is a amazing guy and he is gonna do everything for you to feel like home 🏡! Thanks for the amazing food and time .

Nothing

Amazing stay near Tangalle, the host Indhika is one of the friendliest, most helpful and hard-working people we have met and definitely our highlight in Sri Lanka. We recommend this place to everyone, the property is in the middle of nature, with spacious rooms, nice facilities and beautiful views of fields and a little delta. At sunrise and sunset you can admire the birds and buffaloes from the hammocks or the comfy chairs. When you check in, you'll be welcomed with delicious black tea. Breakfast and dinner can be served for a small extra fee, they are incredibly delicious, so we recommend you eat there. If you're looking for a peaceful place in a serene location and an authentic Sri Lankan experience, make sure you check this place!!!

Everything was amazing!!!

The host Indigo is such a lovely and helpful guy. He was always smiley and made our stay much more heartwarming. He even helped us with renting a motorcycle and gave us many helpful tips. We felt very welcomed and can recommend everyone to go to this little paradise!

Wonderfull host, wonderfull view, activities with host, so quiet. I don't have a single negative thing about our 3 night stay. Just amazing!! Hope to come back one day.

Nothing to report.

The owner of this house is a wonderful man with a big heart. Being here you don't feel like you're in another ordinary hotel. You feel like you're at home. Indhika takes care of you, is friendly and always willing to help. This place is his dream come true and for us it has become part of a wonderful story that we will never forget and the realization of our dream of Sri Lanka. If you are looking for a place that you will be able to remember after years with a smile on your face, this is the place. As for the food, it is delicious and the rooms are very cozy and clean. You can watch wild birds all day and in the evenings listen to the soothing sounds of cicadas swinging in a hammock. We will definitely come back here someday.

The host will make it all worth it! The room is very spacious and comfortable. Indihka thought in every detail when he build the place. If you’re looking for an authentic home stay with an incredible host while in Tangalle, this is the place. The food (dinner and breakfast) was amazing, we did a nice walk through the swamp in front of the house and was an unique experience

Cozy room with private bathroom, hammock, veranda with lovely jungle view. Great place for silence, meditation and relaxation. Hospitable and friendly host Indhika helps with everything you need. Treated us with coffee and mango tea for breakfast and dinner. You can ask him for tuk-tuk ride or kayak swim. A lot of birds and animals nearby. Food shop and bus stop is in 10-15 min walk. In some time the new private cottage will be ready. Hope to return as soon as possible and stay in it.

I was planning to discover Tangalle for 2 days and ended up staying a whole week, mostly because of this place. Indhika is such a nice man, genuinely welcoming and interesting, the food was delicious all the way and the whole place is just super peaceful! I felt like home here, thank you again 🙂

A nice cheap peaceful place, surrounded by nature, good room with a lovely balcony. Food was good I had dinner every night there. If you want peace and quiet, then this is the place, 20min walk to a stunning beach

Nothing

Indhika did everything to make us feel so comfortable at his place in Tangalle. I loved being located in nature (almost better than any safari), having our own little house with hammock. We had many great conversations, heaps of black tea and got to know a lot about Sri Lankan life. Resuming I can't list all the pros of Three Little Birds. You won't regret coming here. ☺️

Lovely place and amazing staff. Felt welcome since the first minute. Perfect stay at a cheap price.

Many things to remember from this place. First of all is the owner who made my stay memorable. A very nice person with whom I much enjoyed having conversations. The location is perfect: nature all around, a river and a little jungle to enjoy the nature and calmness; only 5 minutes away from the city center. The room was nice and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious. This place deserves a gold medal.

Indhikasp thank you very much for everything, It has been an unforgettable experience! During my stay he drove me with his tuktuk and did a lot of activities. We went to the beach, saw turtles and did kayaking in the lake. The house has amazing views to the lake, you can see many types of birds and water buffaloes. The room is big and clean and has also a big private bathroom. I had breakfast and dinner and it was sooo delicious! Thank you again for everything, you are the best host!

Nothing, everything was perfect!

the environment

Indi was a really great host, who always ensured we were satisfied and taken care of. He arrived each morning with fresh mangos and bananas. The food was absolutely delicious and we really enjoyed eating dinner at the home stay. Indi also let us borrow his bike for a small extra cost when we needed to go out. Overall, Three Little Birds was a lovely home stay.

Such a peaceful location with a very nice view overlooking a field with many animals chilling here and there. Super friendly host who cooked breakfast for us and drove us around in his tuktuk. Definitely a hidden gem!

There were a few frogs/spiders in our bathroom, but I got used to them pretty quickly. The ceiling fan in my friends room apparently didn't work so well during the night.

The best Guesthouse in Tangalle! Surrounded by nature. Very quiet location perfect for relaxation. You can spot plenty of animals around. They serve very tasty meals if you wish for an extra fee but it's definitely worth the money! I can really recommend this place 10/10 !

I really loved 3littlebirds! Indhika and his family are amazing hosts! Food is delicious.. i ate every meal there during my stay and always great!! The location is very beautiful and peaceful.. loved enjoying the amazing views and observing the wildlife there.. indhika is special! Man full of dreams and a bic heart that will make you feel home! Thank you!!!! Will sure be back again

Nothing.. all great

It's beautiful room with a view on wetlands where many different kind of birds gather in the morning! All is super clean and comfy! Indika is funny, friendly and very helpful man! Thank you for everything!

Indhika is an amazing host, so kind and interesting and told us about all the wildlife at the property and showed up how to make coconut milk. His wife cooks amazing food. The property is in a lovely peaceful setting and he can give you lifts to the beach etc in his tuk tuk. Would highly recommend. Felt so at home and peaceful here.

The pillows were a bit too hard but that’s all

A quiet nest where to relax and recharge . five minutes by motorbike from Tangalle beach ! Hindika built everything by himself and he’s very proud of it . amazing bed, clean room and good shower. a nice view on a lagoon with many birds and buffalos! They can provide a good breakfast and Hindika even showed me how to get milk from coconut 😊 if you are planning to stop in Tangalle that’s a good and at a very reasonable price accommodation .

Where I should start? Thank you very much Indika for the amazing experience, you're the best host! The room was very spacious, clean and the view is amazing, just surrounded by the nature and the noise of the birds. I loved the food cooked by heart and there is also refill fresh water so no bottles of plastic needed. I highly recommend this place if you want a quite space and staying with an amazing local family. Thank you so much for showing me how to make coconut milk and oil, was very interesting! Three little birds was one of the best place I've stayed in all Asia. Stuti!! I will come again for sure when in SriLanka

Very beautiful place and wonderful view. We had a great experience in this place. Indika, the owner here is a very kind man. He helped us a lot and his wife is a skilled chef. When you come here, you must try their food. Our room was very clean. The place is very friendly and full of love. It is still one of the best accommodation in Sri Lanka. We will definitely come back here again.💚🥰

It's a great place, there's a guy who takes care of the property and he's really nice and helpful.

Everything about Three little birds was perfect, The location, room, food and most of all the service and hospitality from the amazing host and his family. We would like to say a massive thank you and recommend anyone staying in the Tangalle area to stay. You won’t regret it! Thanks again :)

Nothing - it was perfect

THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. All I can say is that I’m sad being able to stay only one day at this place. I loved everything, the room is just perfect, the view is amazing, and the owner?? He is an exceptional person, that makes your stay perfect. If you want, he can explain and show you a lot, in the sweetest way. The meals were also DELICIOUS, as well as the breakfast. I think booking should think about giving 11/10 to this place.

I sincerely recommend this amazing and unique place! Indika and his family are the kindest, most caring, and lovely people! Everything here is handmade and done with love. The rooms are clean and cozy. The food (and we've been to many places) - was ooooh so delicious!! It's so peaceful around, no car noises, only birds singing. It felt like we were in a bird sanctuary! And there were buffaloes around, very funny ones :) I highly recommend it to everyone, you won't regret it, it's a unique place

Indhika made us feel so welcome and went above and beyond to make our trip unforgettable. We will miss our daily breakfast on the balcony while watching the water buffaloes. The place is clean and a 5 minute scoot to the beach or town. It really is amazing value for the money as well.

the best thing about this place is the owner! he has built everything himself, he gives you his undivided attention and is the most wonderful host! We arrived after a long drive and straight away we were having coffee, dinner and great chats. He is very invested in making your stay memorable. This is not a 5 star resort but a wonderful place to experience the real Sri Lanka, overlooking the swamps and buffalo. In the morning we were greeted by coffee, fruit and cake, we even had a hand in getting our tuk tuk running again! Truly a special place and we will be visiting again.

There is nothing we didn’t like.

3 little birds was an amazing experience the views were incredible and the staff were so kind and cooked the most interesting and tasty food, most of all our host Indhika was the most helpful and kind man we have ever met you will love his conversation and he will do anything to make your stay welcoming and rememberable. what a fantastic place 3 little birds is. highly recommend x

the birds and wildlife was unbeatable

my partner and I absolutely loved our stay with Indika and his wife. We were supposed to stay one night but ended up staying 5. The place has a view over a wet area with many birds and buffalos, it is a very special place! Indika will with joy take you for tours and kayak around. The food is also so good, every day a little different. We were lucky to attend a birthday party of their grandchild and meet the whole family! Do yourself a favor and go here, you will not regret it

y first night I stayed somewhere they had a DJ until 5am. I vowed to leave the next morning, but I soon found Indikha and Three Little Birds on booking.com. As I was walking to his place from town, he drove by in his tuk tuk and beeped me giving me a huge smile. He was so happy to see me and told me to jump in for the lift home. When I arrived, I felt so welcome and like an extremely special guest in this family’s home. It was his wife’s birthday and the whole family came around, they cooked a delicious big meal for us all which was one of the best meals I had. I soon decided that this was my favourite spot in Sri Lanka, I watched the sunset and the birds flying over the viewing platform and had several rides in Indikhas tuk tuk. We shared many lovely conversations and I felt like I had found my family away from home. This homestay is the reason I love to travel, to meet amazing people and I want to thank Indikha, his family and the Three Little Birds for making me feel so welcome. The food was delicious, the room was spectacular with a four poster bed and beautiful views and the company just topped it all off. I will be back 💕

nothing

Indika (host) received us just like we were in our home :) The room was very good, clean, with a good toilette, with fan and a balcony. The space is very quiet and it is surrounded by nature. We also had breakfast which was amazing! And if needed indika can also give you rides in his tuk tuk. The location is good since it is very close to the beach. Thank you so much for the staying, was very nice!

Three little birds is a terrific place. For just a few dollars, you can stay in a stunning location where you'll enjoy the jungle as well as the beach. The beach is about 15 mins away (by bicycle, you can rent a really nice one at the property) and during my stay, the nearby beach was super empty and serene (so if you're looking for tranquillity, this could be your place). Also, at nights, you fall asleep to the sounds of waves crashing at the shore (the sea is quite rough here and you can hear it from afar). The owner was super helpful and took care of all my needs. The meals I had at the property were delicious. The room itself surprised me pleasantly. It didn't feel too hot, it was nicely designed, it had a chic and modern bathroom and there was no mould anywhere. The mattress and the bed were meticulously clean and super comfortable. And if you get a room with a terrace, you'll enjoy a dazzling view. You may even see fireflies at night. The Wifi was great and I was able to work from there as well.

Nothing.

We really appreciate the effort Indikha put into our stay. We had a good breakfast a clean room and a nice talk. He made everything possible and didn't even expect any guests. We would recommend it and come back.
