I wholeheartedly recommend this amazing place. I am truly happy that it became our first home in Sri Lanka. I came with my children and initially booked the apartment for 5 days, but we ended up extending our stay for another 4 days simply because we didn’t want to leave. Dakshitha was in touch with me on WhatsApp even before our arrival — he answered all my questions and asked what we might need. Every day of our stay was exceptionally comfortable. His family lives on the property, and they are wonderful, kind people who surrounded us with genuine care. This is not just a room — it’s a full townhouse with a private entrance and two large, beautiful bedrooms. Each has everything you need: very comfortable beds, a desk, a mirror, a wardrobe, towels, and a private bathroom. The balcony deserves special mention — it has a beautiful view of the palm trees, and I loved meeting the sunrise and ending the day there, listening to the birds. You also get a fully equipped kitchen with all essentials: dishes, a fridge, a water dispenser — we cooked every day using the air fryer. And the rooftop… it became my favorite place. It’s completely private, spacious, and perfect for yoga at sunrise or under the stars. There is a drying rack upstairs, and the washing machine is on the lower level. An iron and ironing board are also provided. There are air conditioners in each bedroom. Cleaning was done regularly. Honestly, the comfort felt like a 5-star hotel. But the most important part is the host — his excellent English, kindness, and big heart truly make this place special. We are staying in Sri Lanka for a long time, but from now on, I will confidently recommend this place to everyone visiting. Let your love for Sri Lanka begin here :)

We had a really great time at Madiha Venus! The breakfast was pretty good. The location is close the beachfront and restaurants. The room was amazing: very clean, spacious, cozy and stylish with interesting details like carved doors and shutters. We really appreciate hospitality and desire to make our stay excellent. The owner and his wife were very friendly, helpful and attentive. Wish you to maintain the high level of service you have! I can definitely recommend this accommodation!

Amazing very kindly people that run this place, greeted with fruits & drinks + genuine conversation. Was also just given dinner (Rice + chicken) for nothing, very tasty & felt nice to not get ripped off in these places. For what I paid, a double bed room + AC & balcony view is definitely worth it. Location very close to train station also which helped me out. The man also owns a tuktuk:)
