Samuu Homestay Mirissa

An extraordinary family. During the time I stayed there, it felt just like being with my own family. The location is excellent, too—right next to the Mirissa bus station. The beach and various tourist attractions are within walking distance. Delicious food is also available. If I visit again, I would definitely want to stay here.

Nothing special. There are plenty of other good places to stay in Mirissa.

The drainage is very poor, and when it rains, the water rises right up to the entrance of the room, so you should keep your shoes somewhere high. If you need to use the restroom, you may have to wade through the water. Although we never ordered bottled water, an elderly woman handed us one with a smile. We assumed it was complimentary, thanked her, and accepted it, but we were later charged for it at checkout. In addition, we were charged more than the price shown on Booking.com. The staff explained that it was for taxes, even though the Booking.com price already included taxes and fees. A younger staff member told us that everyone pays it. The amount itself was small, but the experience felt dishonest and uncomfortable. I have stayed in more than 30 accommodations around the world, and this was the first time I felt deceived.

I like the environment of the homestay; the host family was welcoming, as it was easy to keep up a conversation with them. I felt welcomed and felt as if I was part of their family too. They are attentive and well-mannered, they give excellent advice on the area, giving suggestions on things to do, and answer all my enquiries. It is well worth the price for the homestay as I enjoyed the company and kindness of the hosts.

The rooms were nice, but I would like more ventilation in the room. If I could fully open the window without it being affected by winds at night would be nice. But the fan did enough to keep me cool.

The family were super friendly and went above to make our stay so nice! The house was located in a really good spot and you could enjoy the big tasty breakfast in their lovely garden. There was also a kitchen if you wanted to make food or keep things in the fridge which was an added bonus. We ended up extending an extra day as we loved it!

Kely and Nirmala were so kind and generous. They have a lovely garden where you can relax, and they cooked us the tastiest breakfast we’ve had in Sri Lanka! Very close to Mirissa beach and secret beach. Thank you!

Little warm in the room at night.

The ladies were both so nice ;) Nice garden…Close to the beach a literally just minute from the bus stand. Close to everything; Thanks for the stay!

Sehr sehr nette zuvorkommende Gastgeberin, sehr herzlich. Unterkunft super, mit Garten und eigene Küche, inklusive Kühlschrank. Das beste Frühstück in SriLanka, viel, lecker und mit sehr viel Liebe zubereitet. Auch noch im 11uhr. Mit selbstgemachte Fruchtsäfte. Super lecker und abwechslungsreich.

Keine negativen Punkte, war alles super. Nur zur Info, Gemeinschaftsbad.

le personnel est gentil et le petit déjeuner est excellent. Super localisation

il y a énormément de moustiques dans la chambre et il fait très chaud la nuit (il n’y a que un ventilateur)

Wonderful family. Very helpful and friendly. You feel welcome and warm with them. Good location and good rooms. Also a beautiful garden and nice dogs 🙂

Pobyt v Samuu Homestay byl skvělý. Rodina je velmi srdečná a přátelská a hned od začátku jsme se cítili jako doma. Snídaně byly bohaté a výborné, typicky srílanské. Útulná zahrada i pokoj vytváří velmi příjemnou a klidnou atmosféru. Ubytování má skvělou polohu – blízko do města i na pláž. Milým bonusem jsou také dva hodní hlídací pejskové, kteří jsou velmi přátelští a dodávají místu ještě příjemnější atmosféru. Pobyt jsme si moc užili a rádi se sem někdy vrátíme. The stay at Samuu Homestay was wonderful. The family is incredibly kind and welcoming and made us feel at home from the first moment. The Sri Lankan breakfasts were absolutely delicious and very generous. The small garden and the cozy room created a very relaxing atmosphere. The location is great – close to the town as well as the beach. A lovely bonus were the two friendly guard dogs who are very sweet and make the place feel safe and special. We truly enjoyed our stay and would happily come back again.

Warm and kind family hosting here. They are willing to help

Beautiful garden, the room was very comfortable, with a dan and air conditioner. There was also a table (and a chair) in the room, it was very convenient. Super friendly hosts

Kely and her mom are so lovely. Every morning we had great breakfast, we had a room with everything we needed and a clean bathroom and kitchen access! The location was amazing as well, super close to town and the beach. Thank you for everything, we would definitely book it again!

Very friendly mother and daughter welcoming us into their own home. We enjoyed cups of tea and watching birds in their beautiful garden which is a real haven in the centre of Marissa- only 5 mins walk from the beach. Lesley the daughter was extremely helpful and gave us lots of tips. We enjoyed a sumptuous Sri Lankan breakfast cooked by mum. The room itself is simple but clean with a comfortable bed, fan and mosquito net, and the bathroom is just opposite

Nothing

Nous avons été accueillis merveilleusement bien. Les repas sont délicieux. La maman nous a emmené au marché local situé pas loin de la guesthouse. La rue est calme, le jardin est reposant et la proximité de la plage font de cet endroit une étape incontournable.

Rien

El hostel está muy bien ubicado, a poca distancia de la playa y a solo unos metros de la estación de autobuses. La habitación es amplia y cuenta con todo lo necesario para una estancia cómoda. Las dueñas son unas excelentes cocineras, y durante los días que estuve allí pude disfrutar de una comida local deliciosa y abundante. Sin embargo, lo mejor de todo es el trato del personal: se desviven por hacer que tu estancia sea lo mejor posible. Además, si necesitas información sobre la ciudad u otros destinos, te la proporcionan de forma clara y eficaz. Sin duda, si vuelvo a Mirissa me alojaré de nuevo con ellos.

É stata una vacanza fantastica, qui ci siamo sentiti accolti e coccolati. La struttura é bellissima, immersa nel verde, pulita, vicina a tutti i servizi e al mare. Le host sono super accoglienti e presenti, cucinano molto bene. Noi abbiamo usufruito anche del loro servizio di lavanderia, tutto perfetto. Qui inoltre ci sono due cagnolini da poter coccolare

Nulla

The warm welcome from the lady (owner) was truly unforgettable—her kindness made me feel instantly at home. Though the place has only two rooms with limited facilities, it offered something far more valuable: a sense of peace and belonging. The little garden in front of the home was a charming surprise, filled with greenery and quiet beauty. Sitting there with a cup of tea while the rain gently fell around me was simply magical. It wasn’t just a stay—it was a heartfelt experience that gave me a little home away from home

Very nice ambience. Neat and clean rooms and bathroom Very friendly and professional house owners Homely feel . Budget friendly. Calm and quiet area Family atmosphere Recommended for families and solo travells Very big and neat and clean room

A beautiful garden, a nice chill place in mirissa to relax. V close the beach. The mother amd daughter who run it are gorgeous people. At night with fan and window open is cool enough n quiet enough.nice freezy corridor n garden to sit in during day

Cozy room, comfy bed and amazingly kind people. Good facilities everything works really well. The location was perfect too

The gate was a bit hard to get the bike in and out of

Green garden. Strange,but good lunch. Spicy. Good mattress. 100m from main road. Can park tuktuk. -good things. Shared kitchen was big fridge.. some drinks just need to be cold

Amazing dinner and breakfast! Clean rooms and bathrooms. Short walk to beach and main strip! Lovely hosts . Also made me tea and cake when I arrived! Thankyou

Very grateful to this lovely family for accepting my late booking for NYE after other places kept cancelling my reservations for more money. Fantastic value. Only a few minutes walk from the beach. Room was comfortable and they provided everything I needed for my stay. They kindly lent me a hairdryer when I forgot mine. Cute and very friendly dogs.

Very close for bus station. Options to cook separate kitchen. I like, their home food. Little spicy, but it's experience 😉. Bed was extra big.

We recently stayed in this cozy 2-bedroom apartment, and it exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I walked in, I felt right at home. The beds were cozy, ensuring a good night's sleep, and there was enough storage space to keep things tidy and organized throughout my stay. The bathroom was clean and well-maintained, with all the essentials provided. The shower had good water pressure, making for a refreshing start to the day. The kitchen was a highlight for me. It was small but had everything we needed to prepare meals during us stay. The appliances were in excellent condition and It made cooking feel effortless, and we appreciated being able to save money by dining in. The location of the apartment was also fantastic. It was conveniently situated near beach, shops, restaurants, and public transportation, making it easy to explore the city without having to travel far. Overall, We had a wonderful experience staying in this apartment. It's perfect for anyone looking for a comfortable and affordable price to stay while visiting the area. I would highly recommend this place.

Staying here is to stay in a real local Srilankan house :D The family is living here with 3 adorable dogs in the garden. The house is modest but very cute, clean, tidy and well-located. It is next to the bus stand and main road but also an 8 min walk from the beach. The room is not too big but ok for a couple. It is clean and with a mosquito net. The WC is outside of the house but neat and smells good.

Overall stay was a good experience, just two aspects to let other travelers know: 1) We could not use the kitchen though the description says so (apparently there was no gas) 2) I haven't felt we have had a lot of privacy. The woman owning the house is always around. Still, she is suuuper cute and lovely so this is not really a drawback. Just be aware in case you are looking for a place with a lot of privacy.

The family was very friendly and the room was clean
