Gypsea' Madiha

Hele schone en leuke kamers. Alles in de omgeving is op loopafstand, dus dat is ook super fijn. Verder heerlijk ontbeten en lief personeel.

Beautiful room, exceptionally friendly staff.

Nothing.

Užasné ubytovanie blízko pláže. Izby boli čisté a svetle s pohodlnými madracmi. Podávali vynikajuce raňajky a domáci sú neskutočne dobrí ľudia s dobrými srdciami.

Placing, friendliness

Beautiful room and the staff is very welcoming and kind! We would love to come back:)

Proximity to the beach

Missed some amenities

Kamer was goed genoeg en de locatie was prima met strand, winkels en restaurants op loopafstand.

De eigenares alleen gezien bij het afrekenen. Op wifi na geen faciliteiten. Dus geen warm water, geen tv, geen waterkoker, geen kopjes of bestek, geen matrasovertrek, etcetera.

Excellent accueil ; le gérant est très sympa, ainsi que la serveuse. Très beau magasin de bijoux. Proximité des plages à pieds.

Pas d'eau chaude dans la douche, car pas d'arrivée tuyauterie.

Excellent stay. Lovely welcome and smart room. The string hoppers breakfast was one of the best things I ate in Sri Lanka. Would stay again.

Uns hat alles gefallen. Die Zimmer sind sauber und gemütlich und das Personal extrem freundlich und hilfsbereit. Sie haben auch Scooter organisiert.

Cute little hotel! Greeat staff, lovely rooms, perfect stay!

Hébergement exceptionnel tenu par une famille formidable. Simple et efficace. Décoration élégante, digne d’un magazine boho, emplacement idéal à deux pas de la plage. Accueil chaleureux, grande gentillesse, professionnalisme et disponibilité. Véritable coup de cœur pour notre séjour en famille. Nous recommandons à 300 % ! Mention spéciale pour le petit déjeuner, absolument incroyable.

Je n’ai pas aimé partir

One of my favourite stays. The room was bright, beautifully designed and very comfortable. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the manager was fantastic – attentive, warm and easy to talk to. I loved the relaxed vibe of the place, especially with the dogs and cats wandering around, which made it feel like home. A really wonderful experience. I’d absolutely recommend it.

The family running this guesthouse are just the sweetest. They are super helpful, makes you feel right at home. The rooms are spacious, clean ans beatifully decorated. Amazing breakfast, especially eggs and sausages.

The property's dogs are super cute, but I will have to mention that they woke us up around 6pm several times because they bark a lot and the walls/doors are very thin.

Confortable, clean and nice room Great location

Klimatyzacja w obiekcie, miłe powitanie king coconutem. Pyszne i obfite śniadanie. Lokalizacja niedaleko morza, do głównej drogi też niedaleko około 5 minut pieszo.

Hałasy w nocy.

Gute Lage in Strandnähe. Nette Begrüßung des Personals mit Drink. Was uns wichtig war, war ein Parkplatz für unser Auto direkt an der Unterkunft. Dieser war vorhanden. Schönes Zimmer mit sauberem Bad. Der Aufenthalt hat uns sehr gut gefallen.

Perfecto, pequeño hotel con todo lo necesario tranquilo y muy bien ubicado. El personal muy amable y atento, el.desyuno incluido genial opción inglés o de sri lanka.

La decoration et la proximité de la mer.

Petit-déjeuner moins copieux et complet que dans les autres hébergements au Sri Lanka.

Très bon accueil Chambre jolie et propre Suite à un problème, nous avons pu rester un peu plus longtemps dans la chambre

Nice and comfortable rooms. Really good local breakfast. Great staff. Top service and convenient location!

Veramente nulla da dire… ineccepibile… tutto molto meglio di quanto si potesse immaginare. Camera pulitissima, colazione abbondante e buonissima, attenti e disponibili ad ogni nostra richiesta. La cosa che davvero abbiamo amato è stato essere circondati da tanti amici animali presenti nella proprietà… gattini, cani e tre cucciolini nella strada davanti che speriamo vengano adottati dal proprietario gentilissimo e dalla signora che ci ha accolto. Grazie davvero per averci fatto sentire a casa.

Friendly family and staff, very comfortable and nicely decorated rooms, well located and AMAZING breakfast! Would recommend

Gypsea is a great place! The staff are super friendly and helpful. Wi-Fi was fast and stable - we worked remotely the whole time without any issues. Breakfasts were really tasty - both the English and Sri Lankan options. I’m vegetarian, and they prepared vegetarian options for me. They helped us organize tours to Arugam Bay and Yala at great prices (also provided with breakfast at 3 a.m. before our Yala trip). The room was clean, well-designed, with both air conditioning and a fan. We got an extra table for remote work, and laundry service was available too. The owners have three lovely dogs who greeted us every morning. There’s parking on-site, and the beach is just a 6-minute walk away. Highly recommended!

nothing

The breakfast was excellent, a good quantity was provided and plating was done well. Also when we arrived at the property we were given coconut water, which was nice. Overall it was a cute and cozy place.

This room is so lovely with great decor. The owners are so accommodating and cooked the best breakfast that was included with our stay.

Nothing - I wish I could stay longer!

Sri Lankan breakfast are soo good, Ashoka cooks so good omnomnom :D Location is super close to the beach, I really recommend it. Staff is very helpful if you need any information ask Krish or Disna <3 If you need to wash clothes. they have this service in the location

Everything was great, room was super comfy and clean. Breakfast was amazing! The staff were so sweet and helpful ! (Cute dogs)

The dogs, atmosphere and how cozy the place was. The food was amazing and well prepared

No hot water

Genuinely the nicest people running the hotel. The breakfast is HUGE and you won’t need to eat for hours but it’s the hosts that make you feel at home. It’s a great location for things in Madiha and it’s very reasonable with price and clean. I’ve stayed in a variety of places in Sri Lanka but this was my favourite.

Amazing place, very new, clean and huge yummy breakfast.

Fresh accommodation. Beautiful , comfortable to stay in. Just bathroom can do something about the smell, but it’s kind of common in Sri Lanka. There are dogs in territory, yes. But there was no dogs barking in the night at all. Very nice garden. And also we had good fresh made breakfast. Cool

Very nice place. Comfortable bed and so soft sheets. In the morning we got delicious breakfast and the personal is friendly and helpful. I felt like at home. Thank you.

I had a wonderful time at Gypsea’. The staff were lovely and the breakfast was so good, perfect way to start the day. The location was close to the beach and walking distance to many other cafes and restaurants. It was the perfect place to relax for a week. I will definitely be back.

Place was clean and staff were lovely and helpful. Location was also clear retry good.

Room and bathroom especially was quite small. Things to note that there is no tea or coffee making facilities in the room and also no hot water ( we didn’t really need but if it was cooler it would be an issue ). These were two things we weren’t aware of and made it not great value for money.

The property is clean with nice decor. Large bathroom and an ok size living space. The breakfast was very nice, the Sri Lankan breakfast is the best I’ve had since being in the country. Very tasty and a little but spicy. The host were very welcoming and helpful.

Amazing host, breakfast, location and dogs :) thank you so much!

Very very friendly host!!

The room is a bit small

Great location, nice, comfortable room, amazing breakfast and great hosts!

Nothing!

The staff was very nice and helpful .

I spent 5 nights at Gypsea Madiha in February 2025. I thoroughly recommend this place to anyone looking for quiet, comfortable, and central accommodation. The location is incredibly close to the beach, where turtles frequent. There's also nearby local grocery stores, good cafe/restaurant options, and boutiques, all within easy walking distance. The rooms are super clean and tastefully decorated with a good private bathroom. Some of the reviews reference the lack of hot water - maybe it was the time of year I visited, but the water temperature was fine for me without a heating system. Wifi is fast, and the outside area is a cool place to take your meals. You can also get a nice view of Madiha from the upstairs section. The best part of Gypsea Madiha are the staff - everyone is incredibly warm and eager to assist you in any way so that you enjoy your stay as much as possible. Second best part are the Sri Lankan breakfasts - some of my favourite meals from 1 month in Sri Lanka! Thanks so much to the Gypsea Madiha crew for creating such a cosy environment and also for the efforts you make for the street animals of Sri Lanka. I'll be recommending you guys to friends and family. Hopefully I'll be back to see your other location one day too!

It was the best accommodation I have experienced in my last 6 months of travel in Asia. Shannon, his partner and the rest of the staff provider the best service I have ever experienced. They really took care of me and of the other guests. I felt like I was at home from the first moment I arrived. Incredible food experience with Sri Lankan traditional food at the breakfast and there is possible to order something special for breakfast if you wish or have need. clean and beautiful rooms. I liked it so much that the towels and bed linen smelled so good. The rooms are simple and beautifully designed with bright colors. Quiet and peaceful location. Close to local shops, coffee, restaurants and just a few minutes walk from the ocean. I have changed my plans and extended my stay at this amazing place Yes I can 100% recommend this place!

Very cosy and clean room, with comfortable bed, AC and a good shower. All rooms are located around a nice green courtyard and a little kitchen where breakfast and lunch is prepared. All people that work there are so lovely and kind. They also really care about the street animals and adopted some cute dogs and cats. The food is a real pleasure and one of the best I had in Sri Lanka so far, with vegetarian options that were just so yummy. THANK YOU so much for this lovely experience!

Really nothing

The most amazing stay in Sri Lanka. Rooms are clean, bright and modern with a neat design. Location is a bit further from city centre so you can enjoy calm and relaxing evenings , but close by are all the restaurants,shops and beaches you need. Breakfast is super good- fresh and filling. Hosts are the best people you will meet in Sri Lanka. They’re gonna be there for everything you need, at any time. (Even at night time getting my wife flowers, for Valentines day) Best stay in Sri Lanka by far. 10/10

for me everything was perfect. Nice, new & clean accommodation with very friendly and helpfull staff especially Krish. Very close to beach, bars (The Doctor's House), restaurants, café (swell) and also to supermarket. Delicous breakfast

From the very beginning, Krish made our stay so comfortable that we felt very comfortable. He is very warm and took great care of us. The location is very close to the beach, just a few meters down the road. You can rent sunbeds on the beach, so it's definitely not a disadvantage. It's very close to various great restaurants. The room itself is very large, bright, well furnished with a closet etc. and a comfortable bed. The bathroom was also large. The room and the entire complex are lovingly designed and well looked after. An absolute hit in terms of price/performance. We would come back here in a heartbeat.

Extremely clean, lovely people working at the property, nice modern room! We were greeted with a coconut which was a very nice touch. Great location close to beaches. Had breakfast also which was delicious! Even got our Landry done which was ready in couple of hours.

Nothing everything was great!

Room was lovely and comfortable with a nice en suite bathroom. Service and breakfast were excellent. Krish is a great host and it was in a nice quiet spot very close to the beach and restaurants.

No hot water, but to be honest you didn’t really need it as the shower was almost warm.

The property was well situated between the ocean/ main road and all the cute cafes and restaurants. The host were lovely and welcomed us with a coconut and even let us check in early.

The Staff, Krish was very friendly and organised a very sumptious breakfast. Room size was good. Its a small but very cosy property. Location also is very good close to the beach.

The following need to be taken care of - 1. Geyser to be provided in bathroom. 2. Side tables by the side of the beds. The family room we took had just one table so keeping small stuff like watches, wallets, specs, mobiles, etc. was an issue. 3. provide geyser in bathroom. 4. Mosquito repellent in the room. We had mosquitoes buzzing around during the night. 5. the ceiling fans need to be cleaned. They were dusty so we could not start them.

Such a nice place! The location is perfect and the staff were really sweet and very attentive to us. The rooms are really nice, clean and comfortable. The breakfast was great. I highly recommend this place and won’t hesitate to come back. The dogs that they take care of are adorable.

The only thing I would point out is that some nights were a bit noisy with dogs barking. But some nights were super quiet.

Calm and quite location, perfectly Located within a 5 minute walk distance to popular bars and restaurants or just a 3 minute walk to the beach

Nothing everything was perfect
