The private room I stayed in here was absolutely exceptional. It had beautiful sunlight all day, a desk to work at and was super comfortable. Everything you need is a short walk away, and it was out of the hustle and bustle. The breakfast every morning were sensational. Saroj and his wife are beautiful, kind people. As a solo traveler I can't recommend this enough.

Wat an absolute delight it is to stay in this little piece of paradise! Gorgeous decor, delicious food and drinks, kind and superb service. A place you will definitely feel at home. Madiha itself is also a good choice as a location, since you will find tranquility and beauty, but there are some really nice restaurants and chill places in the neighbourhood. And of course Mirissa, which is a lot busier, is 15 min away. We stayed here with our family of 4 and absolutely loved it!

Such a lovely stay. It felt like home! I had a stay for 3 nights and then took another 4 nights, because I really loved it. Located at a deadend up on the hill, so there is no one passing by. Perfect when you want to stay away from turbulent Hiriketiya beach A few minutes walk to the beach.

We had a great stay at the ED Corner. We were given a delicious welcome drink on arrival. The room was lovely with a comfortable bed that had a mosquito net. The bathroom was very cool with an open roof and palm tree in the middle. The wifi and air conditioning worked well. The location was close to restaurants, walking distance to Hiriketiya beach and Dickwella beach and ATMs. Also the bus stop was close by too. The man who runs this hotel was super helpful. We enjoyed our stay so much here we decided to extend for an extra night.

That was the best home stay experience in Sri Lanka. It is located a few minutes away from the beach. Place is exceptionally cosy, clean and comfortable. Room was just beautiful with nice bed, private bathroom with hot shower and all facilities you can imagine. We used the kitchen for cooking our food which was great after long weeks of traveling. Big thank you for the host family - you made our stay here simply wonderful. We recommend this place if you plan to stay in Dikwella.

They didn't offer us a room. Said that they are not willing to offer to locals. And also it is not cleaned, not suitable for anyone.

Big room and bathroom. Comfortable bed with mosquito net. Only a few minutes walk to the beach. Very friendly host family. Good breakfast with a big fruit salad. We also had a balcony/teresse. And there is also the possibility to use the laundry service from the family. They can also organize many tours like snorkeling or something for you.

best place to be! great location for those who want quiet, highly maintained accommodation at reasonable prices. the breakfast was amazing every day, was diverse and I think it was the best dishes and local food i have eaten in sri Lanka. the host family was super nice and even taught me how to make Sri Lankan food. the view is so beautiful and there is a beautiful garden where they bring the mangoes for breakfast. thank you so much

Atmosphere, Vibe 👌 Its right next to the Forest Entrance. TikiriBanda is the man! He helped us in many ways to make our stay a comfortable one as well as the other staff members. Food is average can give 7/10, and bit expensive for locals. So its better to book it full or half board. Overall 7/10 for everything.

Silva was such a great host, he made sure we had everything we needed during the entire stay and even recommended a place to rent a bike nearby. The breakfast was great, and he would even wake us up in the morning when it was ready! He also let us have late check out at no extra charge. The AC was great, and had a nice warm shower. We shared a small kitchen area with another room so had fridge access which was very helpful.
