Salty Fish Mirissa

We left the property after an hour because it was dirty, the toilet was leaking, the bedding and towels were stained, the room door and toilet door didn’t close, there was electrical wires hanging from holes in the ceiling and more. We were told on the phone we could cancel without a fee but now they are ignoring my messages.

The room was very nice, with a big and comfortable bed. The owner is a really nice person and he always helped us with everything we needed, and gave us tips about our trip in Mirissa :) We really liked the rooftop, it was so nice to relax and see the ocean from there.

No hot water in the shower About 15 minutes walking distance to the main beach

L’emplacement.

Il n’y avait pas d’eau chaude. La chambre était un peu bruyante.

Great little guest house, lovely staff, nice room, the light on our balcony was broken and they fixed it straight away which was much appreciated. Great location aswell and lovely dogs

Amazing and very sweet and lovely service! Would recommend

It was cheap and cozy. The staff was very kind and helpful. We had a good expirience.

nice room, nice people

wifi and internet connection (even with sim card) is not working in the room,

The room was amazing, very clean and the host was super nice. Everything in Mirissa was in walking distance, which was very convenient.

kind host, nice style rooms

no hot water, really loud, its like there is no walls between the rooms. There is no drying machine so it can take up to several days until you get the dry chlothes.

Staff were so lovely and friendly - welcomed us with drinks and were always on hand if we needed anything. The two dogs Milo and Bingo were super cute and loved cuddles!

Our room was basically a shed… The walls are made of wooden panels and the roof is a tin. The pictures are a little bit deceiving tbh. We kept getting ants and spiders in the room which wasn’t nice. We could hear everything all night - people in the room next door, people in the houses around, dogs barking all night. For the price we paid, could’ve been in a different home stay which included breakfast too. It got very hot in the room even with the ceiling fan. It’s a shame because the family are so nice and lovely but this was not worth the price.

We loved it there! We spended 9 nights there and going to be spend 4 more and the and of our travel. Nilanthi (the mom of the owner) was there and super nice and helpful. Awesome breakfast! And easy with the laundry service and scooter renting... We will come back! Thank you for everything!

I mainly stayed in the area for the whale watching tour so this hotel is perfectly located for this due to the early start of the tours. The room was so cute and felt I keeping with the vibe of Mirissa. The lady behind the check in desk was oh so friendly, the welcoming smile and just genuine kindness makes such a difference when staying in a foreign country! I am so happy I picked salty fish

Beautiful location, lovely owner, beautiful puppies to greet you. Perfect for a few days! Our key broke, and the owner was really responsive and organised to get it fixed quickly.

Our stay at salty fish was really good considering how affordable this place is. The location is good, only a 10-15 minute walk from Mirissa beach, 10 minute from secret beach and 10 minute from a big supermarket. The ladies at salty fish were really friendly and helpful and we also loved the 2 dogs that live there, real cuties :) thanks for having us!

The bathroom could be improved (looks and smell), but as I mentioned before, for this price I was not expecting much

Loved this stay! Lovely owner, super sweet and helpful. Able to walk to the beach from it.

Nothing

I really enjoyed staying in the Salty Fish. The rooms are super nicely decorated with a couple of plants to make you feel at home. The staff helps you with anything and Mylo and Sally, the Salty Dogs, provide affection if needed. Highly recommended.

Be carful for the cockroaches

The hosts were exceptional- so friendly and accommodating. Air con was great and nice shower. close to whale watching Harbour- which was ideal for an early start!

nothing - its a little basic but clean

Amazing place to stay, cutest family that hosts the place with the most lovely dogs that are super friendly, clean and cozy rooms, Sweet Café in Front, good located, they managed a scooter very fast for us to use and we also used the laundry service. They helped us out where they could! Thank you very much 💖🐈‍⬛ would always come back. See you!

The interior is super cute and the owner is super friendly and gave me loads of tips!

Staff were friendly

It's very basic and not comfortable

The room with the balcony was beautiful! Such a fun beach vibe type place, and really nice views. There is a cafe attached to the hotel, and the staff there (who also help with the rooms) were incredibly friendly. Maybe the nicest people I've met in Sri Lanka! They were quick to solve any issues and give suggestions on what to do and where to go. Could not have been nicer.

Can't fault the hotel for this as I knowingly booked a non AC room, but the heat was brutal. The fan was good but it was not enough. I was starting to suffer from heat exhaustion on my third day here. The location is perfect for Whale Watching (right next to the harbour), but it's a 5-10 minute walk away from the main street where most things are. Doesn't seem far, but in the heat, it is. There was a bit of an ant problem in my room.

very close to Secret Beach, lovely staff, comfy bed, good value for money and they also offer laundry service

It was just a very Nice place og the staff was fantastic❤️.

Nothing

I picked this place because it was near my pick-up point for whale watching. Amazing and super friendly hosts, the room is good as well, the fan works great

The place does not provide hot water .

Lovely place to stay behind a really cool cafe with great coffee. People running it are really nice and helpful. Location is fairly good on a quieter street in Mirissa.

Quite hot without air con but fan worked really well

Super nice hosts! They organized a really good and affordable whale watching tour as well as a scooter and offered to help with everything we needed. Nice room, Harbour view, air circulation with comfortable temperature. We enjoyed the time a lot!

I absolutely loved my stay here. The room is simple, but with attention to detail. The staff is very kind. In front of the hotel is koral café which not only provides amazing coffee (hard to find in Sri Lanka) and smoothie bowls, but also a social space to interact with other travelers.

it was really close to all the best beaches and the actual room and downstairs coffeplace was super cute.

it was extremely hot and with many mosquitos. In the morning is also very noisy

Super Kind and warm hosts. Really enjoyed our stay at the cute guesthouse. There is also a cafe downstairs, where you can have really good breakfast and coffee. We received helpful tips about beaches and yoga.

Very good location, nice atmosphere & helpful, kind hosts! :)

The property offered a serene and inviting atmosphere, with its clean and airy rooms providing a comfortable retreat. I loved the tasteful decor and the natural light that filled the space. The proximity to local attractions was a huge plus, allowing for spontaneous explorations. Above all, the peaceful environment made for a truly relaxing stay.

Overall, my experience was so positive that there was little to dislike. If I had to pick something, I would say that my stay was simply too short to fully enjoy everything the property had to offer.
