Positives: Loved the large room, and the comfortable king size bed. The bathroom was also really large and one of the few places in Sri Lanka with a proper enclosed shower! Tea and coffee facilities were provided and there was a mini fridge in the room too.

The ladies preparing and serving breakfast each morning were wonderful and the breakfast super tasty.

Negatives: The a/c unit was so old and barely effective. Even after we'd reported the issue with it within the first 2 hours of arriving (temp had dropped from 31°c to 28°c in 2 hours and no lower), nothing was looked at until we returned at 10pm, by which stage it was far too late for anything to be done and we had sleep in another room for the night (with a really loud a/c but at least it worked). The manager was very apologetic about the situation but even after the a/c unit in our room was supposedly "fixed" it was still pretty ineffective unless left on for a great length of time. But wait hang on! They don't want you to do that either, and attach the power card for all the electrics to your room key so when you go out the a/c can't run!! I'm quite happy to adhere to these sorts of requests, if when I then return I have a decent quality a/c until that  starts to cool the room within a matter of minutes rather than hours... 

No housekeeping was offered during our 4 night stay either which when you're at a beach location a traipsing sand in everyday is not ideal.

The light over the sink which I also reported as not working on the first day was never fixed during our stay, making the bathroom very dark and gloomy.

Overall there just seemed to be a general lack of attention to detail and maintenance in what could otherwise be a great hotel.



Could be amazing but lacks attention to details & maintenance

A more beautiful place is hard to find! Especially at night time when the fireflies are twinkling al around and you can hear the oceanwaves in the background.
The thing that made our trip to Sri Lanka unforgetful was the amazing staff and manager that always went the extra mile making this place feel like a home away from home.

I really recommend this place that truly touched our hearts.

Best place in Sri lanka

Stayed for 2 nights in this lovely guest house.
Quiet location with fab views.
Not a nice walk along the busy roads but only 200 lkr in TUK TUK to main area.
Sanda is lovely & happy to help with anything.

Totally Recommend 


Lovely place 

We had an excellent stay at Maison D'Hotes Sanda Beach. The location is perfect and the view from our room was amazing. The owners are perfect hosts and they went our of there way to help us. The room was very clean bright and airy. The bathroom was fabulous and the air conditioning and fan both worked really well. The bed was really comfortable with great linen and pillows. There is a small fridge and a kettle with tea and coffee provided. Thank you so much for all your help and a wonderful stay.

Room with a view of Coconut tree hill

The owners of the property are lovely, friendly and helpful. There is working WiFi, hot water and good air conditioning in the rooms. It is a 2 minute walk to Coconut Hill in a great location.
The Breakfast is nice, small in comparison to some other places we have stayed but cooked fresh and different every day. 
Unfortunately there were a lot of ants in our bathroom, we told the host every day but unfortunately anything that was done didn't help. The door into the bathroom didn't close properly as the handle has been put on backwards so the ants were also getting into the bedroom.
The rooms that say they have a sea view and balcony, unfortunately don't have a window. There is a shared balcony with a sea view, which is lovely. Just felt this was a bit misleading as you pay extra for the 'sea view'. The rooms on the 3rd floor are newly built so if booking try to get one of those rooms.
People in the other reviews seem to have had much better experiences so maybe we were just unlucky. 

Small Friendly Stay with ants 

A beautiful little place to stay with very clean rooms and a great breakfast,the team that run the hotel are fantastic and very very helpful,the people that put a wrong word about them must be lying,the rooms are spacious,air con plus fans,fridge,large showers, comfortable beds,fluffy towel's,location is a 10 min walk up to the main beach,30second walk to coconut tree hill,nice little spot......would I go back....100% yes.........njoy your stay people....once again I can not be more complementary favour the staff..😘😘😘

Great place to stay

Great place to stay. Ideally located next to a small beach and in a quiet area of Mirissa (which is not that easy to find as the city center is IMO quite hectic). The coconut tree hill (2 minutes walking distance from the hotel) is simply magic (amazing sunsets).

Beyond the location, you feel very welcomed by the owners. We did not see the time passing by. The rooms are simple but clean and quite comfortable. Breakfasts are also amazing (by far the best we had in Sri Lanka).

Very nice room with sea view, very friendly staff created welcoming atmosphere. Coconut hill is 2 min walk and Mirissa beach is also very close (nice walk on the beach to get there). I would highly recommend this place!

Very nice place and good atmosphere!

This small hotel/guesthouse has a welcoming atmosphere, crisp and clean rooms, fantastic views, and helpful, friendly hosts. We enjoyed our recent two-night stay here very much. The location is perfect for sunset views and is just a short walk to dining and the main beach in Mirissa. A surprise treat was the small beach close to the guesthouse, as it was a great entry point to snorkeling with sea turtles! Highly recommend this lovely spot.

Lovely spot!

This small hotel with 8 bedrooms is run by a very friendly helpful couple. It is at the eastern side of Mirissa very close to a lovely small beach ideal for swimming. The staff at the hotel kindly organised a taxi to take us back to Colombo airport. They can organise trips including whale watching and a spa.

It is possible to walk for 15 minutes along the beach to get to the main large beach in Mirissa. There are plenty of tuk tuks available which is useful to travel to restaurants for evening meals
