Guest Houses in Balapitiya

Felt like at home. Staff very helpful and kind. We can use the kitchen as at home.

This family-run compound, set off the main road and nestled in the forest, is an absolute delight. The staff, including all family members, are friendly, warm, and happy to help with whatever you need. The food is fantastic; it is all homecooked, and they will facilitate whatever you want. We are both vegetarian and the food that was provided was the best we had eaten in Sri Lanka. The nearby beach, accessible by free tuk-tuk ride, is simply the most magnificent, untrammelled beach I have ever seen. Spotless, golden sands, warm blue water and stunning scenery. The rooms are enormous with comfortable beds, clean (outdoor!) bathroom and a lovely porch. The entire resort was spotless. We spent 11 days in Sri Lanka in total, across a range of different style accommodations, 5* to 2* hotels and this was easily the best place we stayed.

A beautiful paradise very close to the sea. Very friendly owners. Very good explanation of the area. Very good architecture. Very beautifully decorated. Very comfortable. The most beautiful place we stayed in Sri Lanka. Will definitely come back.

Clean, modern, beach access, views, walking distance to good coffee (Latte Korea) and pizza. Happy for the glass bottled water in the rooms. ☆ Let's all help STOP the use of single-use plastic. ■ and also no barking dogs, bread trucks or temple broadcasting. ■ just the breathing of the sea. ♡

Right on the beach You can watch the fishermen at work every morning The staff are absolutely amazing and the villa clean and modern really couldn’t ask for or more

Clean and spacious rooms which are great for families The staff are amazingly helpful The beach cafe (owned by the same family) is amazing, right on the beach and the food is delicious Very good value for money Tuk tuk attached to the hotel so transport is very easy.

We didn’t received any breakfast.

We stayed at the Neem Tree for the first half of the February '25. And I want to say that it was probably most charming experience of the rest abroad. First of all because of the family who manages the guest house. They are lovely! I have so many thanks to them for their care and responsiveness! But okay, maybe it was something personal, so I say only facts about the guest house: our apartment was clean, toilet and shower was clean too, water heater worked well. Furniture and appliances were not brand new, but in a good condition, everything worked well. Conditioner worked well, too. Bed was big (200*210cm or something) any sturdy, mattress was exactly what I love: flat and even, medium-soft, it was obviously near to a brand new condition or of a really good quality, I slept very well. Pillows were good, too: no lumps or clots, or something, were felt like brand new or close to that. Bed lining and towels was in a good condition and clean. Location of the guest house is very convenient: - 1 minute walk to a beach, beach itself is really good - 1 minute walk to the beach restaurants (there are 2 of them, and they are pretty decent, bit pricey by standards of Lanka, but cousin is good, everything we ate were yummy, and I'm sure they work hard to cook the way non-lankians used to: it's not spicy at all, so the cuisine is great for those who can't eat spicy hot dishes) - 5-7 minutes walk to a local supermarket, were you can buy all basic goods you need: bottled water, vegs, meat, chicken, groceries, semi-finished food, freshly backed pizza, sandwiches and so on - 15 minutes walk to a bus and train station Conclusion: I don't want to say that it's absolutely perfect place, but we don't have absolute perfection in the world))) I want to say that I absolutely do recommend the guest house to stay. The comfort, the location, the way they treat you, the soul of the place - I loved it! As for me it's 10 out of 10. ❤️

La Kurumba Oceanfront Villa is one of my favourite places in Sri Lanka, home like. I arrived in the late evening around 23:00. Host Thilaka, a very beautiful woman and Sampath welcomed me with big smiles. Sampath opened all the lights in the beach area and at this late hour he offered to make me a fresh meal in his bar which is right on the beach, so he did. He is a great chef and always makes delicious meals. I was very lucky straight after my arrival to see a turtle which came to lay eggs while I was having my meal. Next mornings Sampath brought me murunga and other special local green leaves, I was having green herbal juice every morning. Everyone was very helpful here. Manager Shiwantha helped me with other things I needed in town and around, he explained how locals live. I was so happy to experience local life. The local people in Ambalangoda town very friendly. The other person from La Kurumba organised me a massage and aloe vera drink. And Thilaka was very helpful as well. The vibe here in villa La Kurumba is amazing: palm trees, ocean, beautiful sea side, amazing and very comfortable room with big, wall windows and sea view, few steps from room to the sea, garden with lots of comfortable spots to relax or work on a laptop..., food is amazing, everyday fresh seafood and other things, coconut water, tuk tuk, scooter taxi's drop off to the center of town if needed. This villa is great for small group of people or family. To hear the ocean sound while sleeping and waking up with it was my favorite part. I didn't want to leave. I felt at home. Very grateful.

Beautiful surroundings..breakfast was delicious and good size. Close to beaches and lagoons.
