We were beyond happy that we got to stay in Madiha Surf Lodge. This place was beautiful and with such a friendly owners & staff! Our room was so beautiful and clean. The brakfast/seating area was so cosy and beautiful and the accommodation was located only few steps from the most amazing beach with breathtaking sunset spot(short private road to the beach). We are vegan & they met our needs and prepared us tastiest breakfast (It was even better than food from restourants haha) So couldn't be more happy! Thank you so much and we will for sure return! It was hard to leave :)

I spent three wonderful nights here and decided to extend my stay by two more nights because this place is simply perfect. The family who owns the property is extremely friendly and always willing to assist with anything you need. The location is ideal, as it is right on the beach, which is probably the best one I visited during my month in Sri Lanka. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, and everyone around is friendly, making my stay even better. I hope to return in the future because it was a truly wonderful experience!

We had a great stay at the Ocean breeze hotel! everything was very authentic, clean and the staff is very friendly. It’s possible to have breakfast and dine here and everything is freshly made by the Amma of the house and tastes wonderful. They were very kind to our little daughter and the owner gave us a lift to our next destination. We can only recommend this place :-)

A very nice small and personal hotel right by the sea. The rooms were modern, clean and had a nice balcony facing the ocean. Even the beds were comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay there again.

    Amazing location, right on the beach. Fantastic surf all day long! Staff is super super friendly and they serve an excellent dinner and breakfast at the beach. Also the room was very clean and comfortable. Don’t look any further, this was our favorite guesthouse in Sri Lanka.

    Our room was clean and very comfortable. The view from our balcony was amazing of the beach and ocean. The breakfast was really good and even better from from the restaurant area. The staff were all lovely and helpful. There is a bar and sunbeds on the beach right in front of hotel, beach is nice and quiet and good place to try surfing.

    Perfect beach hotel! A little off the main road as the name suggests and 24 steps down to the beach from the grounds. All the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Room and bathroom were clean and had a fridge, safe and mosquito nets. Breakfast was simple but yummy overlooking the Ocean and beach. Surf boards for hire and a pretty private beach to enjoy!

    We loved staying right on the beach and being able to watch the turtles from our balcony. The restaurant was great, there was loads of choice and for a good price. The staff, especially the owner were extremely friendly and helpful. The location was good, walking distance to Madiha surf break (10 minutes) and Polhena beach and lots of restaurants.
