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!

This place has everything you could wish for, the views are amazing, the breakfast was delicious everyday and it's just walking distance from coconut hill. We loved this stay more than any other we've visited in sri lanka and we really hope to come back. Both scooter rental and laundry service is just in the area. Thank you so much for the stay!

Our stay here was one of the most memorable parts of our time in Sri Lanka. Right in front of the beach, this beautiful lodge was more than just a place to stay—it was a home, filled with warmth, good energy, and unforgettable people. From day one, Che Che and his amazing team made us feel like family. Always smiling, always ready with the best local recommendations, and so genuinely passionate about sharing the story of how he created the lodge—it was inspiring to hear and made our experience even more meaningful. Every detail, from the welcoming atmosphere to the peaceful beachside setting, was just perfect. We left with full hearts and can’t wait to return. Thank you, Che Che and all your team, for everything. We already miss it! From Marta & Sam

The locality is pure perfection! One minute to the beach and you can see the Coconut hill from the room. Nearby (minute by walk) is a spa centrum where you can be treated by massage. The owners were nice :) we did a yoga session with a Slovak lady who blessed our day and we are co grateful we met her, See you soon!

Excellent location close to the city and beach, but also very quiet. We arrived just when the poya cellebration took place and we almost hear a sound from the city. The house is in the beautiful garden with many trees and flowers. Owners are so nice and helpful! They arrange a scooter for us for fair price and breakfast was always really tasty and various. We appreciated A/C in the room and possibility of hot shower (but we didnt use it, it was sooo hot weather 😁). They also borrowed us a playing cards, that was awesome, because we forget them at home. Thank you so much for a nice stay, if we come back, we will stay in this homestay again, felt like home!

Absolutely everything. The room was big, comfy and with very few mosquitoes (and there’s a mosquito net). The fan is working perfectly and there’s hot water in the shower. The wifi is fast and ideal to do a bit of work. There’s a kitchen which is cleaned every morning (and it’s good cause some guests have 0 clue how to live in a community..) It’s away from the main road so super quiet at night, and the host is very nice and accommodating. It’s very close to some restaurants and shops and 8 min from the main road.

What a lovely place! Bird House is located close to the beach, yet in a very quiet area surrounded by nature. The decoration is a huge plus. Ishan, our host, is the embodiment of Sri Lankan hospitality. He was attentive, helpful and very kind. I am so glad we could extend our stay! I would definitely recommend Bird House:)
