Three things I want to highlight: a fantastic view, great hospitality, and a delicious breakfast. You can step right out of your room and enjoy stunning sunrises and sunsets by the sea, or take a swim whenever you like. The room was clean, the bathroom was good, and the bed was spacious and comfortable. We loved everything about Saman Beach Guest House!

Great location close to the railway station and fort. Amazing host who helped us with lots of information and provided impeccable service. He helped us to rent a scooter and arranged tuktuk for us early morning to go to the station. He made us feel like family with all the care and guidance. And the breakfast was mouth watering plus they arranged it as per our convenience. Thank you, we had a lovely stay.

The overall experience was quite amazing. First time I visited the property and they were extremely accommodating throughout the stay. We arrived quite late and when we called to check whether this was okay, Lahiru volunteered to stay late to make sure we got in okay. Rooms were quite spacious and the property is clean and beautifully maintained. All amenities provided were working and as it was a working-holiday for me, there were plenty of nooks and crannies around the place I could sit and work from. Would definitely be going back.

Love this place, relaxed vibe, clean, comfortable rooms, lovely friendly, quietly attentive staff, good food in a fantastic roof terrace restaurant, lovely spaces to hang out. Our host could not have been more accommodating or kind. The location is perfect to catch sunsets and sea breeze and an easy walk to sights, shops & cafes. Monkeys, iguanas, kingfishers and the hilarious crows hanging out too (not in the property!) Everything you'd want of a guesthouse. Highly recommend

The room was super nice, quiet, and with the air conditioning always comfortably cool. Ravi, the host, takes very good care of his guests and makes you feel very welcome. Breakfast is served on the balcony with a lovely view and includes a wide variety of fresh fruits, tea, toast and so much more. The guest house is perfectly located as it's close to everything you could want and need. All in all we had a wonderful time and can't recommend the guest house enough.
