    It is very difficult to rate this homestay because I arrived in late evening and left about 4am. My room was clean, impersonal, bathroom very "european" however it would be better to slope the floor toward the shower drain or another drain. As it was the bathroom was flooded with water after shower.

    A little bit of paradise by the sea! Deep Blue is beautiful and the rooms are wonderfully designed. Ruziak is a great host and an excellent communicator. He organised an excellent bbq'd supper of freshly caught fish which was served on our patio and a 5am tuk tuk to the railway station in Matara.The swimming pool and gardens are fabulous with plenty of places to relax. I highly recommend
