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.

It was amazing. We were staying at the villa for about 16 days, the room was very clean and comfortable, there was everything for convenience and the view from the room to the ocean was breathtaking. clean pool, kitchen, terraces, everything is done with love and very beautiful. we never regretted choosing this villa and are grateful to the owners that they were always on hand. will recommend to all friends.

Great Location, just at the beach!

Everything was excellent! The place was neat and tidy, with a friendly owner and staff. They were flexible and really understood our needs. We’ll definitely be coming back!

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.

How can I even start… all the members of this family are literal angels. They’ll take care of you, show you around, make sure you’re never hungry, and give you the best possible experience. I was so lucky to meet them at the beginning of my trip; I ended up staying way longer than planned and even spent my birthday with them and we organised a trip together some time later. At this point, they’ve become family to me. Their property is located in a beautiful and tranquil area; if you like being close to nature and want an authentic Sri Lankan experience, this is the place. The rooms are well-kept and tidy, spacious, and cosy. There’s an adorable dog and lots of visiting animals, even parrots, who feed near the property’s gate every morning. Shamaylie, with the help of her daughters, cooks home made, healthy and very tasty meals, made from the local ingredients. The family will make sure that they offer you the food you like. I recommend to visit the Guesthouse regardless if you’re travelling solo or in a couple. You will always be treated with love, warmth, and generosity. Wik xx
