The view from the room is the best, the room itself is spacious and very clean and well maintained. Comfortable bed and pillows, combined with a sound of the waves good sleep is guaranteed. :) There is also good and comfortable bathroom. Breakfast is plenty and different every day. Fast Wi-Fi and a lovely working area on the last floor overlooking the seaside. In the hotel there is their own beach part and for those who surf a nice spot right there. The board rental is also next door. In the evening you can see sea creatures like big crabs and sometimes turtles coming to the beach! The family who runs this place is extremely nice and made our stay there amazing.

Everything was lovely and just as described! The owners are very friendly and helpful and the rooms are clean. The location is very good, just a few minutes from the beach and some lovely restaurants, and being just outside of Matara itself is perfect as Polhena is beautiful! Highly recommend Blooming Polhena!

Light house beach home

Matara

Fantastic value for money - what's described by Lighthouse Beach Home as the "budget room" could be "deluxe" elsewhere. Rooms are well maintained and nicely equipped, even if small - still comfortable, and you can shower while looking at the lighthouse through the bathroom window. The family running the place is very friendly and speak good English. Next to the guesthouse they have a nice, quirky restaurant on the waterfront. You can park a tuk tuk or a bike in the garden - sun beds then get moved to the rooftop terrace, which has views to the ocean and the bay.

We had a lovely room overlooking the small garden and long beach. A great position. The beach was ideal for walking and the surf perfect for beginners upwards. The breakfast was terrific , the staff super friendly and facilities on point.

I stayed here for two nights and had a truly pleasant and peaceful experience 😊. The property is clean 🧼, and the room was spacious and comfortable 🛏️. I was especially impressed by the beautifully designed bathroom 🚿✨. The location is also very convenient—just a short walk from Matara Railway Station 🚉. What truly made the stay exceptional was the hospitality of the hosts 🤗. The aunty and uncle who live next door are incredibly kind and always ready to help with a warm smile 🧓👵❤️. Their genuine care made me feel right at home 🏠. If you're visiting Sri Lanka 🇱🇰, especially the Matara area, I highly recommend staying here 🌟. Thank you for a wonderful experience! 🙏 धन्यवाद
