Reviewed By dineshih

We stayed for two nights last month as our honeymoon stay and it was such a wonderful experience. The buttler system they use helps to keep things familier. Our buttler Mr. Malith was very informative and helpful in every aspect. The food was fantastic and fresh everytime and we recommend that you opt for a full board stay if you're not planning to go out. Overall the stay was perfect in all aspects. Will definitely re-visit when we get the chance.

The Spice House, Mirissa

The Spice House, Mirissa is a beautiful Colonial style guesthouse with its own private swimming pool set in a peaceful, landscaped garden full of tropical flowers, fruits, spices, ponds & hammocks. It is ideally situated only one minute from a beautiful, reef protected bay & 1km from the main bustle of Mirissa beach. The guesthouse is English owned by an experienced traveller and his Sri Lankan Wife which allows us to offer our guests the perfect mix of Western comfort & luxury alongside Sri Lankan charm & service - we like our guests to feel like part of the family. The house is shaded by coconut palms & cinnamon trees to the front while the back is terraced which allows wonderful views over the surrounding jungle. Local wildlife is often seen in our garden with daily visits from monkeys, kingfishers, peacocks, woodpeckers & squirrels. We can also help with Airport transfers & booking whale watching trips during the season (November - April).

Beautiful Stay in Great Location

Reviewed By HarrySimpson97

Overall we had a nice stay at the Spice House. On arrival our bags were taken to our rooms for us. The house is set in a beautiful jungle area with amazing pools just off the main road of Marissa - the main beach is roughly a 10 minute or less walk. One thing that I would make people aware of is that the Spice House is made up of multiple properties spanning across a few areas of land. This wasn’t a major issue but I thought worth mentioning that you might not be staying at the main house if you book here. We stayed in the ginger room which was lovely and one of the more recent builds on the property. The house was accessible via a back road which was helpful (however coming back in the evening at night there were a number of stray dogs which were fine but a little unnerving for my girlfriend - these dogs are also found across most of Sri Lanka and are almost all of the time calm). The room was great, location was excellent (not to close / not too far) and the breakfasts and hospitality were also really positive.

A relaxing oasis in the middle of Galle Fort

Reviewed By Madeleine I

This hotel is a wonderful calm and tranquil place in the centre of Galle Fort. The hotel is situated in a quiet street with a lovely garden at the front and courtyards at the back filled with tropical plants. The hotel is relatively small and very attractively designed. It is incredibly quiet and peaceful Our room was situated on the ground floor with patio doors to an attractive courtyard. The room was very comfortable with very efficient air-conditioning. The attached bathroom was very clean and everything functioned perfectly. The breakfast was served by the garden and was very good. The staff were extremely helpful and welcoming. They helped us with printing visas for our next destination. I would absolutely recommend this hotel to others and would definitely stay here again if in Galle.

Reviewed By coxdavid1991

We were moved to this hotel from our booking at Handagedara resort, which was suffering from maintenance problems . (We wondered if if were moved to one of the more delapitaded rooms becaisw of this) I will start by saying that the location is superb and if this is important to you, then the rest shouldn't affect you as much, but if you want a 3/4* hotel standard then there is vast areas for improvement necessary. I must also thank the female member of staff for being very kind, and for us allowing us to shelter a puppy that we rescued from the beach. However... Breakfast was very average. Our bathroom had watermarks all over the taps and surfaces. The walls in the room were either damp or were fading and peeling in almost every corner. The main shower was cold and the secondary shower (was hot in fairness) had a mind of its own, meaning it would flick up and cover the room (towels, clothes, toiletries) in water. I don't think this is a bad hotel but it could and should be better in a few too many areas.

Green Turtle

Charming hotel in Tangalle!

Reviewed By adaOMurchu

We were offered a refreshing welcome drink by courteous hosts once we had arrived. This family owned hotel holds the key to Sri Lankan hospitality. Breakfast, lunch and dinner was amazing. Curry with chicken, shrimp, calamari, traditionally cooked curry with potatoes, breakfast with rotti and excellent fresh tropical fruits. Rooms are new and clean with a nice balcony, AC, little fridge and free wifi. Better to bring some cash with you because there’s no ATM near to the hotel. Although they’ll give you a ride to go to the ATM which is nice of them. A few mins walk to the beach. And it's located right next to the Turtle Watch Rekawa. Great experience to see these huge sea turtles laying their eggs on the beach then return into the ocean. Although it's not a suitable beach for swimming with the big waves but perfect for a silent few days with nice food/drinks and lying on the beach especially on a magical starry nights when nature is speaking!

Reviewed By AncaCristina2

The hotel is located one minute walk to the sea, in a very good position. It is a very large building with generous space close to everything. What I liked was the cleanliness and hospitality. The rooms are large, very clean and nothing is missing. They have a refrigerator, a kettle and even a safe. Bath towels are provided, as well as beach towels. in the bathroom there is a hair dryer, liquid soap and shampoo at your discretion. The water is hot. The air conditioning works well. For the price paid, I was expecting something of poor quality, but I was pleasantly surprised. I stayed in more expensive hotels and did not have this comfort. Congratulations to the owners. I gladly recommend and will be back for sure

We got robbed

Reviewed By dil0shik

Really poor security! They broke into my cousin’s room through the balcony while they were sleeping and stole a professional camera, lenses, his passport along with cash they had inside the room. They also placed us in an area they knew had broken cameras. Makes me wonder if this was an inside job. The “IT guy” who arrived to “help” us with the security cameras was also obviously drunk and getting all his information from his child who was about 13/14 years old. We were on the second floor 605, 606, 607. This obviously could have been a way more traumatic situations as no one was attacked but I came with my 1 year old and I will never feel safe or feel comfortable allowing anyone else to stay here.

THE ABSOLUTE BEST PLACE TO STAY IN HIKKADUWA

Reviewed By L6688CIstephaniej

We stayed at Dreamtime for 10 nights in April 2022, and cannot recommend this place enough. Mel & Supan, along with their fantastic team are the most welcoming and helpful hosts I have ever experienced. The breakfast they serve every morning is absolutely beautiful, and a real taste of Sri Lanka, and they make the best pina coladas!!! They are on hand to arrange reliable Tuk Tuks, and recommend the best places for food and drink. Our stay wouldn’t have been the same anywhere else, so we were lucky to have found this slice of paradise. On top of the fantastic service, the rooms are clean, and have everything you need. The pool and gardens are beautiful and I will certainly miss a jungle shower every day. The location is ideal for some peace and relaxation, whilst being a couple minutes walk from the beach and all the shops/restaurants/bars. Thank you so much for having us, Dreamtime!
