I made a last-minute booking to stay at loSu Polhena. They were extremely accommodating and responsive, which made my arrival very easy and pleasant. The hotel was spacious, quiet, new and very comfortable and I immediately felt at home. Lolo and Su are really friendly and nothing is too much trouble. They have amazing local knowledge and gave great tips and advice on where to eat and sights to see. And the hotel itself is in an excellent location as it’s just a couple of minutes walk to the beach and to local restaurants. Breakfast was included and it was huge and and really tasty. I absolutely loved the big pool, perfect for both swimming or just chilling out after a long day. I like the way they had designed around the pool with lots of greenery so I felt like I was in nature. They also have a rooftop you can sit on and watch the sunset. Overall I would definitely recommend!

Do not hesitate to book this accomodation! Rooms are to a very very high standard - spacious room, plenty of space to store luggage, solid desk/chair, beautiful balcony with comfortable chairs and stunning sea & sunset views, large four poster bed with clean linen and comfortable, good AC. Overall the room is just high spec with high quality materials and furniture used. Bathroom too was to the same high standard - stone floor, large sink and mirror, good shower with hot water if desired. Cannot fault the room at all. Staff all super friendly and smiling all the time. Breakfast, Sri lankan or western, was very good too. I had sri lankan each day which was always delicious. Free purified water on tap in the communal area. You can walk into Mirissa around 15 mins along a busy ish road, or grab a tuk, there's plenty of them. Best stay I had in 3 weeks, and very reasonable price. I would definitely stay here again travelling solo or with a partner.

The accommodation is very clean, comfortable and has air conditioning, fridge, mosquito net, hair dryer and shampoo. It's about a 7 minute walk to the beach, same to the city on the main street. It's about half an hour to coconut tree hill. The host communicated with us via Booking and responded quickly, when we needed a ride in heavy rain to the center of the main street (around the corner basically), he took us by tuktuk free of charge. Our host recommended a company for a whale watching trip. The host lent us a spoon when we bought yoghurt at the accommodation and didn't realise we didn't have cutlery. Breakfast was big and tasty. Great value for the price, helpful host, very nice and clean accomodation. Good wifi.

Fantastic value for money - what's described by Lighthouse Beach Home as the "budget room" could be "deluxe" elsewhere. Rooms are well maintained and nicely equipped, even if small - still comfortable, and you can shower while looking at the lighthouse through the bathroom window. The family running the place is very friendly and speak good English. Next to the guesthouse they have a nice, quirky restaurant on the waterfront. You can park a tuk tuk or a bike in the garden - sun beds then get moved to the rooftop terrace, which has views to the ocean and the bay.

Room was clean and comfortable....only 10 min walk to the beach. Room owner, Heshan was one of the most wonderful people we met in SriLanka. He arranged for whale watching at a very competitive price almost 20-30% lower than the price quoted by other boatsmen and he himself dropped us to the boat on his tuktuk. The room also comes with a shared kitchen with a refrigerator, cooking stove etc.,

Ishan was superfriendly and welcoming. You´re staying with his parents which makes it a great homestay experience, she made us a delicious rice and curry with fish the father had caught that day. The hut is simple, but really nice, we didn´t need anything else. It´s 10 minutes from the beach so you don´t hear the pounding beats that much, although on Saturday night we did hear them (but I guess that´s everywhere in Mirissa). I would highly recommend!
