Sethun House

Sehr familiäres Homestay, wunderbar herzliche Familie, die einem bei allen Fragen hilft, sehr leckeres Frühstück

This had more of a home stay feel, with the guest house run by a really delightful family, who were always so obliging. It was clean, tidy and my room had a fridge and aircon. There’s also a shared balcony for breakfast overlooking some trees with lots of birds around. It’s only 5 mins walk from the west end of Marissa beach, if you cut through the restaurants that line the beach, and a 15-20 mins walk to the not so secret Secret beach. Also catch the local bus all the way along the coast to Galle and beyond, just at the end of the street.

Can’t think of a single thing.

Det var et skønt sted. Familien der ejede Sethun House var meget serviceminded. Morgenmaden var god og varierende. Kan anbefale stedet.

We liked it because it's away from the noisy roads with unbalanced tu-tacks and crazy-bus. There are no noisy parties or loud music nearby. Quiet, peaceful, close to the beach. There is a road leading to the beach, it is quite quiet. We were glad a thousand times that we took this particular option, and not those options that are closer to the beach, but through this terrible noisy Main Street. Delicious and varied breakfasts on the balcony, the kindest hosts. The rooms are clean, cleaning every three days, change of bed linen. Air conditioning, ceiling fan, refrigerator, water heater, kettle are working, the bathroom is clean and in good condition. There is free wi-fi. Это хорошее сочетание цена/качество. Нам понравилось это место, потому что оно находится вдали от шумных дорог с разбалансированными маршрутками и сумасшедшими автобусами. Поблизости нет шумных вечеринок или громкой музыки. Тихо, умиротворенно, рядом с пляжем. К пляжу ведет дорога, там довольно тихо. Мы были тысячу раз рады, что выбрали именно этот вариант, а не те варианты, которые находятся ближе к пляжу, но через эту ужасную шумную главную улицу. Вкусные и разнообразные завтраки на балконе, добрейшие хозяева. В номерах чисто, уборка каждые три дня, смена постельного белья. Кондиционер, потолочный вентилятор, холодильник, водонагреватель, чайник работают, ванная комната чистая и в хорошем состоянии. Есть бесплатный Wi-Fi.

Пару раз рано утром нас будили звуки стройки из соседнего дома.

Sehr feines Frühstück😊

Hostitelia boli veľmi milì a nápomocnì. Raňajky boli chutnè a sýte. Všetko bolo v poriadku.

A 6 minutes à pied de la plage de Mirissa. Petit hôtel familial parfaitement gérer. Très bon petit-déjeuner. Assez calme, loin des bars/restaurants.

We loved our stay at Sethun House! Everything was perfect, the room was exceptionally clean, our hosts were extremely nice and helpful, the breakfast each morning changed and it became an exciting part of our day to see what delicious food options we would be surprised with, our room was cleaned every 2-3 days, they offer a laundry service, and on one occasion i was even able to get an item of clothing mended which was greatly appreciated. The property is also in a convenient location, tucked away down a driveway which means you don't hear the noise from the main street, but you are an easy 2-3 min stroll to the main street and also a quick 2-3 minute stroll to the beach/surf break. Our hosts also helped us book a taxi to our next destination and our driver was extremely nice too (we understand he can also assist with day trips to Galle and other local spots). We could not recommend this property more! Thank you so much for such an enjoyable stay :)

nothing - everything was perfect

Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit in dieser Unterkunft, die Familie ist super nett und hilfsbereit, das Frühstück war richtig lecker (besten Coconut Rotti unserer ganzen Reise) und abwechslungsreich. Außerdem ist die Lage zwischen Hauptstraße und Strand optimal für alles, was man machen möchte (surfen, schwimmen, Café / Restaurants...). Wir würden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen.

Very friendly people in a great location away from the road - plenty of birds and wildlife to watch from the balcony. The best breakfast we were served in Sri Lanka.

As with so many places, the dog next door barking through the night.

Very close to the beach. Friendly owner. Delicious breakfast.

厕所出了问题当天早上才booking上告知，这样紧急的情况也不是给我打个电话（我明明有手机联系方式），让我退订而不是直接给我换一间房间，我一天都在赶路根本没时间看消息，大半夜到了打电话才得知消息。

Wir waren 3 Nächte dort. Der Aufenthalt war rund um super. Die Betten sind bequem, es ist sauber und das Frühstück ist sehr sehr lecker. Wir hatten ein eigenes Bad. Eine Klimaanlage und einen Ventilator. Und es gab einen Gemeinschaftskühlschrank in einem Vorraum. Die Gastgeber sind sehr herzliche und freundliche Menschen. Die Klimaanlage fiel kurzzeitig aus, darum wurde sich aber umgehend gekümmert und schnell wieder zum laufen gebracht. Auch die Lage ist super. Ruhig gelegen und dennoch ist man schnell am Strand oder der Hauptstraße. Wir würden definitiv wiederkommen.

La ubicación, el personal, el desayuno, la comodidad de las camas.

Poca luz en la habitación. Solo un enchufe válido con adaptadores universales

Die Lage ist perfekt-sehr nah am Strand und trotzdem wunderbar ruhig. das Frühstück war sehr lecker und vielfältig. Die Gastgeberin sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Absolut empfehlenswert !

I liked the location, the hosts were very helpful and I liked the fact the place was seay from the busy main road.

I didn’t have the biggest room.

Fijne kamer en zeer gastvrije host/familie. Wij konden de kamer langer aanhouden tegen een zeer redelijk bedrag vanwege de nachtvlucht. Op loopafstand van het strand en hoofdstraat.

It was exceptionally clean, in a great location, with delicious breakfast everyday. The family who run it are so kind, warm and welcoming and accommodating. The New Year’s tea & treats was a wonderful surprise. Highly recommend this accommodation to others.

Good location, nice owners, the room was very humid, the smell did no go away even with open door.

Really good location, in a quiet street, 5minutes to beach, 10minutes to harbor for whales watching trips. The owner was so kind to us, she prepared us late breakfast, let us keep in our backpacks until late afternoon and arranged a tuk tuk for a good price. Thanks so much! I would be happy to stay again.

Nothing.

Lovely host, clean, good breakfast and in ideal location

Great location near to everything but lovely and quite too. Watching the wildlife from the balcony in the morning while having a fabulous home cooked Sri Lankan breakfast was a treat too

Nothing

A wonderful family who welcomed us as if we were at home. Breakfast is traditional, varied and very tasty. The air conditioning works and the rooms are very clean. The location is great, near the beach and a few minutes' walk from the main street.

Very good family , thank you 🙏🏼

Really good value for money. The air con worked very well and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast was very tasty (eggs, muffin, fruit). The location was great- really close to all of the nice beach bars and restaurants but far enough away that we got sleep. The balcony overlooking the jungle was a bonus. The host was very pleasant. We would have gladly stayed longer.

We only stayed a night so it didn't bother us but simple instructions on how to use the shower would be helpful as there were two showers in the bathroom and we didn't know how to work the good one. The bed is central in the room so you don't have a bedside table but again, for one night this wasn't a big issue. Of note we had to pay cash which we were not expecting as we have paid card in most other places.

We had an amazing holiday thanks to Liddica and Sumith. We were made very welcome, accommodation was very nice and clean. Air conditioning and mosquito net fabulous. Wifi was excellent. Balcony with lovely views, breakfast was delicious and plentiful.

The place is managed by a very nice family . The house was central and close to the beach but still a little retracted in some green garden properties. The breakfirst was very nice.

The rooms are quite narrow for the double beds.

Very Nice host/family, good location, clean / Nice rooms

Good and healthy breakfast. Beach was nearby, Supermarket in 5 mins. Room was clean and good.

Room and bathroom quite big, good shower with hot water. A/C and fan working. Wi-Fi perfectly fine. Breakfast good and abundance. Location very good, 8 min walking to the beach. Host very friendly and helpful.

Nothing

Very friendly hostfamily, good and clean rooms,with a nice little balcony with view on the jungle surroundings, enjoying beautiful birds and squirrels. Great breakfast.Only 15 min walk along quiet road to the beach.

The location was great. Close walk to the secret beach, whale watching, turtle bay and great restaurants. The host was amazing, couldn’t be more flexible with check in check out. Breakfast was exceptional with a lovely view into the Forrest, we sat and enjoyed watching squirrels, peacocks and parrots in the trees each morning. Price was extremely reasonable for such a clean and comfortable room with AC. Couldn’t recommend it enough!

Sethun house is a gem of a guesthouse. It's situated in a peaceful setting and the rooms are immaculate. Breakfast was delicious and eating it on the little balcony each morning was a lovely start to the day.

Everything about the property and owners was great. Only thing to note is if you are coming back at night, it is located down an unlit driveway surrounded by trees so bring a torch!

Great value room within walking distance to gorgeous beach

Air con issue sorted out by owner to our full satisfaction

Perfect, friendly and responsive host and family. Delicious breakfast on the balcony, different each day. Great location, a few minutes walk from the beach and the town. Air conditioning worked well and cupboard lockable for valuables. Mosquito net worked well. Cold shower with additional shower for hot water.

The only suggestion would be extra pillows or cushions on the bed to make it more comfortable.

Perfectly located within walking distance of everything yet on a quiet side street. Owner is super friendly and very helpful. It gets very humid but room has a functional AC even though it's a bit old.

Not much, nothing I didn't expect with this very fair price!

It is close to the ocean.

This was our third stay at Sethun house. It is situated on a quiet road within a few mins walk to the beach or town centre. Great location.This is run by a lovely, very welcoming family. Comfortable bed; hot shower; fridge outside the room and 2 balconies to use in the room we stayed in. Very nice breakfasts too..excellent value for money. We would recommend it and will hopefully stay again.

Nothing

The woman running this property and her children were super sweet and made us feel welcome. Great location on quiet side street, but only short walks to main commerce area and beaches of Mirissa. Breakfast included was delicious.

Nothing negative comes to mind.

We stayed 3 nigthts and loved it! Really comfy family room, spotlessly clean, plenty of space. There was good aircon, mosquito nets, and fan and a well functioning fridge too. All the facilities were brilliant. breakfast overlooking the green trees, on the balcony was delicious. The family were all very warm and welcoming and helped us with everything. It's also very close to the local Dagoba. Also should say it's 5 minutes walk from the beach! we would highly recommend Sethun House!

Breakfast was delicious. Hosts very nice people, felt welcome there. Room with balcony, in dark we could see glowworms dancing in the trees.

Nothing bad to say.

Great location in proximity to the beach. Very good price. A/C worked well, nice clean bathroom.

Local family run, like a homestay Whilst the balcony is small, you have access to a communal area & balcony for breakfast amd also fridge, kettle The family look after you and you only need to ask if you need their help with things like laundry, trips etc Located close to the main road and beach, may need your phone/torch for the little alley to their place. You'll likely hear and see the frogs at night and if you're lucky the big monitor lizards in the day

This is more just info: Rooms are not huge but it's due to the big 4 poster beds with great net coverage, which are super comfy...luggage can fit under the big bed

A quiet spot, 5 minutes walk to one end of the beach. Big, comfortable bed.

It was percent place, worth its' price

-

The hosts were incredibly friendly and accommodating. The room has a lovely terrace with lots of green and amazing view into the valley. Also very fun is to watch the trains passing by! I very much enjoyed my stay and would come again any time. The location is also very convenient. It's only 10 minutes to the city center by foot

Quiet place! but still a walking distance to the beach and to the harbor from where whale watching tours start in the morning. Clean room and bathroom, AC and a fan, mosquito net. Nice breakfast. All you need for a good night sleep.

Hot water in shower could have better pressure.

Perfect location, central but quiet, very big & comfy bed, cute balcony, very clean, best breakfast ever, lovely owner

very comfortable bad, fridge to use, very kind family, best shower of our homestay holidays in Sri Lanka

Felt out of the way even though fairly central and close to the beach. Animals in the garden area add to the atmosphere as you eat breakfast on the balcony

All good

Very nice family and it was like in a zoo in the garden 👍

could be more toilet paper but generally is ok

The best accommodation we had in Sri Lanka. Everything sparkling clean, nice bathroom, big comfortable bed like from a fairy tale and nice owner.

The accommodation is next to a temple, so you can be woken up by morning prayers. The water pressure in the bathroom was weak so it took a bit longer to wash, but this is common in Sri Lanka.

Near the beach. Room was clean, spacious. Very good breakfast. I really enjoyed staying there

Near Mirissa beach, friendly cost
