Perfect location right on the beach, quiet place, big room with really lagre bed, very comfortable. We were able to catch Wi-Fi signal on terrace outside of our room right above restaurant. After all guests finish their dinners (usualy between 9-10 p.m.) restaurant closes, which is good because it is quiet, but it is pity they turn Wi-Fi off too.... More

We were meant to stay two or three nights, but ended up staying for eight nights. Friendly owners. Very good food. Yes there are room for improvments eg deckchairs and matresses for sunbeds, but why focus on the little things that are wrong, when so much is right with this place. Service with a smile from early morning to late... More

The Ibis was a great place to relax after a hectic ten days in Sri Lanka. Overlooking a sandy beach and crashing surf the front of the property is dotted with sunbeds, umbrellas and hammocks The verandah contained a number of tables and most were occupied at various points during the day. Pleasantly busy, but not crowded with a mix... More

We quickly felt at home at this nice guesthouse. The service was very friendly and efficient. The room we had in a bungalow was spacious and clean except for a dead gecko and ants, though I did not imagine a bungalow being a two-story concrete building. The location directly on the beach is very nice, though it is dangerous to... More

This agreeable mid-price guesthouse is situated in a quiet location about 30 minutes walk from Tangalle, beyond the strip of budget accommodations along Medaketiya beach and close to where the long, beautiful and less developed Marakolliya beach begins. A variety of rooms, with and without AC, are available in villas and bungalows, set in a shady garden. There is wi-fi... More

We only had one night booked at Ibis, but were so impressed by this relaxed place next to a beautiful uncrowded beach that we asked to stay longer. Unsurprisingly they were fully booked (this was around new year so high season), but luckily someone cancelled so we ended up staying a week. The food was great and cooked in an... More

The meal was excellent and the welcome we received from the owners and staff very warm.We wished that we had stayed here rather than at the Guyana. It has an excellent location right on the beach and appeared perfect... More

The low point of my trip to Sri Lanka was having to climb in and out of the greasy mosquito nets at Ibis that looked as if they had never been washed and had the god knows what of many a traveller on them. The bed sheets, towels and pillows smelt musty and damp. The rooms were dark and dingy.... More

Dear Guests, I think there was a misunderstanding in the price for the taxi. The Ibis Guesthouse is not cheating their guests. The bedsheets and the towels are washed after every check out of guests – don´t worry! Also the mosquito-nets are washed regularly. More

I went to this place based and good reviews I had in guide books. I had a room for 4500Rps without breakfast. Room was ideal with a great view.
