Sheru Guest

It was a very pleasant stay at Sheru Guest. We received a warm welcome with beautiful flowers and a refreshing fruit drink made from fruits from the Sheru Guest garden. The owners were very friendly and welcoming. The room was very clean, comfortable, and well maintained. I highly recommend Sheru Guest to anyone looking for a calm and quiet place to stay, whether for a short or long stay.

You know a place is truly special when you find yourself checking in for the third time! Tucked away in the peaceful village of Totamuna, Sheru Guest has officially become my absolute favorite getaway in Matara. What keeps drawing me back is the beautiful energy of the family who runs it. They have this effortless way of making you feel completely cared for, turning a simple stay into a heartwarming experience. The rooms are always immaculately clean and incredibly restful, offering a quiet escape that is still just a short hop away from great local spots to eat. If you're a new guest looking for a peaceful, authentic, and genuinely welcoming place to stay, do yourself a favor and book this hidden gem. I’m already dreaming of my fourth visit!

This was my second stay at Sheru Guest, and once again it was an amazing experience. I received such a warm welcome, just like last time, with a beautiful bunch of flowers and a refreshing welcome drink from their own garden. The place is very clean, peaceful, and calm — perfect for relaxing. The hospitality of the hosts made me feel at home throughout my stay. Everything was well maintained, and the atmosphere was quiet and comfortable. I highly recommend Sheru Guest to anyone looking for a relaxing and welcoming place to stay. I will definitely come back again!

非常乾淨、整齊，老闆娘很熱情好客，公共廚房也提供完整的器具，以這個價位來說遠超出預期的水準，距離鬧區也不遠，很推薦來到Matara的人來住。

房間微微的悶熱，但吹電扇睡起來還是不錯，夏天可能就真的會小熱了。

Clean Rooms and really comfortable. The owners Are really nice and helpful as well.

Nothing

Home owners are so kind and helpful people. They welcomed me so warmly like I never experienced before 🤗 And the room is clean and well organized - obviously they put an effort to make it nice place to stay paying attention to all the details. 10 / 10 place.

Hiç....

Просто потрясающий номер: чисто, комфортно, отлично работающий душ, вентилятор, очень удобный матрас (в меру жесткий), отдельное спасибо за то, что в номере стоит фумигатор и никто не жужжит и не кусает тебя ночью😍 ! Есть собственная кухня, стиралка. Невероятно приветливые хозяева. Однозначно рекомендую!

Best homestay in whole Sri Lanka. Very welcomed host here. Helpful with everything and lot of local vibes. Recommended. 11/10 next time I'll be in Matara, my only choice. ❤️🇱🇰

Extremely Pleasant Stay! I received a warm welcome with flowers, and the welcome drink made from the garden was fabulous. I stayed two nights at Sheru Guest in Matara, and it truly felt like home. The owner and their family were very friendly and helpful. The Wi-Fi was excellent, and the place was calm and quiet — perfect for relaxing. The guesthouse has everything you need, including a kitchen and washing machine. It's also conveniently located near the Nilwala River and its mouth, and just a short distance to Polhena and Madiha beaches. Highly recommended for a peaceful and comfortable stay!

Welcome, staff, wi-fi, Garden, special the room.

This was my second time staying at Sheru Guest, and once again, it truly felt like coming home. Nestled in the peaceful fishing village of Totamuna in Matara, Sheru Guest offers the perfect blend of comfort, culture, and community. I first stayed here some time ago and was so impressed by the experience that I knew I had to return — and I’m so glad I did. The guesthouse is run by a warm and welcoming Catholic family who treat you more like a friend than a guest. Their genuine hospitality and care make a lasting impression. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and ideal for a relaxing stay, and although they don’t provide meals, there are plenty of great local restaurants just a short walk or tuk-tuk ride away. One of the reasons I chose to return to Sheru Guest is because of the beautiful purpose behind it. A portion of what you pay goes toward helping underprivileged families in the village — supporting their education, medical needs, and daily essentials. It’s not just a stay; it’s an opportunity to be part of something meaningful. If you're looking for a place that offers more than just a bed — a place filled with kindness, purpose, and a true local touch — Sheru Guest is it. Returning here felt like visiting old friends. I already know this won’t be my last time.

Very nice .Food was excelent.Very friendly owners from the gust house.

Very clean, lovely family & accommendating

Nothing.

This loving family easily created the place I've stayed in my 1 year of traveling. If you're the type of traveler who appreciates major attention to detail, the warmest of welcomes (fresh glass of passion fruit juice from their garden !!), high-quality facilities, and mind-blowing dollar value, then you found your home away from home. Honestly, I wish I had a home back home as nice as this home.

Extremely pleasant stay. Having travelled from Australia to Matara to complete some family genealogy local research; Sheru Guest Apartment was an ideal quiet private location for my writing tasks; with great Wi-Fi; while still immersed in normal neighbourhood experiences of a typical Sri Lankan town. My favourite relaxing past time here was sitting on the front porch, overlooking lush gardens, watching & photographing many visiting birds & playful squirrels. I purposely chose this guesthouse to be both a distance away from busy noisy main roads & tourist hotels, but close enough for when I needed to go into Matara Town or swim at Polhena Beach. Sheru Guest Apartment was spacious & clean. I can foresee it will consistently get better, as the owner/managers have natural attention to detail. They were very respectful & looked after me extremely well. Even sourced the freshest quality Buffalo Curd that is renowned in this area. My favourite. For all these reasons combined, & many more; I will definitely return here again next time.

Fantastic Stay with Great Convenience! I had a wonderful experience at Sheru Guest! The place exceeded my expectations, especially with the thoughtful amenities provided. The free internet was fast and reliable, which made it easy to stay connected and get work done. One of the highlights was the free use of the washing machine—such a convenient option that made my stay even more comfortable. The ironing facility was also a big plus, helping me keep my clothes neat and ready for outings. The guesthouse was clean and well-maintained, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. I’d highly recommend Sheru Guest to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient stay with excellent amenities. Thank you for the great experience!

An Authentic Stay with a Heartfelt Purpose I recently stayed at Sheru Guest in Matara, and it was truly a memorable experience. This charming guesthouse offers more than just a cozy place to stay – it comes with a beautiful mission. Owned by a warm, welcoming Catholic family, Sheru Guest supports the local community by contributing a portion of its earnings to aid underprivileged families in the area. It was wonderful to know that my stay was part of something meaningful, helping fund education, healthcare, and essentials for those in need. The location is ideal for exploring southern Sri Lanka, with Polhena Beach just a short distance away, perfect for snorkeling and enjoying the calm waters. Mirissa is also close by, offering exciting whale-watching tours. The guesthouse itself is peaceful, clean, and thoughtfully maintained. While they don’t serve meals, great local dining options are just a short walk away, making it easy to explore Sri Lankan cuisine. Overall, Sheru Guest provided me with a genuine cultural experience and a sense of home. It’s perfect for travelers who want an affordable, impactful, and authentic stay in Sri Lanka. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Matara.
