Jungle Soul, hotel in Matara

Set in Mirissa, 500 metres from Mirissa Beach, Jungle Soul offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant.

This place is run by the sweetest people! We had such a great stay here, everyone was very lovely and helpful. We really liked the location, it feels like you're in the middle of the jungle, you can watch monkeys from the balcony or the café upstairs. It's in walking distance to the beach, Parrot Rock and Coconut Tree Hill.

Ruwan Villa Ahangama, hotel in Matara

Situated in Ahangama, 2.2 km from Kabalana Beach, Ruwan Villa Ahangama features accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a shared lounge.

The house looks really good from the outside. Our room was basic, but considering the price-quality it was good. One really nice thing is that my girlfriend got scratched by a dog, and when contacting the hosts, they sent someone to help diagnose and clean the scratch!

    We had an amazing stay in this beautiful apartment! The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook dinner. The location is great and close to everything. The hosts were amazing and even kindly dropped us at the bus stop and helped us with our onward journey. We would definitely stay again!

    I love tthis place. You can see the sea from the front room and the location is convenient for the buses. The staff is attentive and I usually enjoy the seafood noodles for dinner. Other eating recommendations in the area: 1) The Dutchman's Street 2) Healthy Generations

    The owner was more than welcoming, making tea for us, giving us tips for dinner places, etc, and the room was big. It’s also located close to the beach, Doctors house for party and walkable to town. Was perfect for a night.

    The owners Lila and Piyaratna were so kind and helpful. Great ambassadors for Sri Lanka. We originally booked 5 nights but stayed a extra night it was so relaxing with a nice surf beach only metres from the front gate. Perfect for beginners. They cooked us a delicious SriLankan Curry on last night 🙏

    I enjoyed my stay so much! The apartment is very spacious, it also has a private balcony with a nice view to the jungle full of monkeys, squirrels and birds. Vinu's Place is little bit remote from the busiest part of the town - I was surprised at the beginning, but then it made our stay even better. The hosting family is extremely hospitable and caring. Highly recommended!

    This was the best guest house we have stayed in after 7 years of living in Sri Lanka. The owner had thought of every little detail! He gave us welcome snacks and tea on arrival, the room was super clean with everything from beach mats, to a hairdryer to double sheets and the room even had an outside areas to relax and dry clothes. We were advised check out time was anytime we wanted and the breakfast was enormous. We were even given doggy bags to take away any food we couldn’t eat. Highly recommended 🫶🏼

    Never go in this place. The owner is Mad and crazy. Because we had a dog and it's says pet friendly. When we arrived it was ok. But we turned back after dinner around 10 pm he get crazy of dog and he put us out from the guest house with his drunk friends. Never ever go there. We slept in our car with our dog.
