Positive: The hosts are very caring and pleasant people; they helped me with everything. They even gave me an Ayurvedic inhalation when they learned that my ear hurt! There are birds living in their yard and a very sociable Golden Retriever named Buddy. The house is very spacious and modern. The room is clean.
Negative: There was no hot water in my room; the host said it was mentioned in the room description, but I couldn't find that information. Since I was only staying for 2 nights, it wasn't a big issue, though taking a hot shower after the trip would have been nice. The hosts said hot water would be available by my next visit. There was someone else's used loofah and remnants of shower gel in the bathroom.

Positive: This was my second time staying with Mervin & Indus, and once again it felt like coming home. We celebrated Christmas Eve and Christmas together, and the warmth they shared made this trip incredibly special. They went above and beyond to ensure I was always comfortable and well taken care of. I was fed non-stop with so much love, and Indus bakes the most wonderful cakes. Their kindness, generosity, and genuine care made my stay truly memorable. This wasn’t just accommodation; it was family. I will always be grateful for the love and memories shared here, and I already look forward to coming back.
Negative: Waiting for the hot water to be installed 🫶 But they will boil the water if you need hot water
Summary: Best host

Positive: More than a stay — it felt like coming home. From the moment I arrived (very late at night), Mr. Mervin and Indu made me feel completely at ease. They waited up for me and welcomed me with such warmth and genuine care. Throughout my stay, Mr. Mervin went above and beyond to ensure my safety and comfort, always checking in and offering help whenever needed. The home itself is spotless, calm, and well kept, but what truly makes this place special is the heart behind it. They treated me like their own daughter — making sure I was well fed, rested, and looked after. Even my late evening check-out was handled with kindness and flexibility. This was not just accommodation; it was a meaningful local experience filled with warmth, generosity, and sincerity. I’m deeply grateful for their hospitality and would stay here again without hesitation.
Negative: Nothing
Summary: More than a stay 🫶

Positive: The homestay was very nice, I had a lot of space in the room and a private terrace that I could use. The Homestay is in a quiet and lovely area not far with the tuk tuk from mainstreet. I chose the Homestay while I was having an Ayurvedic course in nugegoda and for me was the best place to stay . Really felt like family. The food that Indu prepares is incredibly delicious and made with a lot of dedication and passion. For that I thank you from the bottom of my heart that I always had good food. As a suggestion for improvement, I would be happy about a mosquito net :)
