Our stay here was one of the most memorable parts of our time in Sri Lanka. Right in front of the beach, this beautiful lodge was more than just a place to stay—it was a home, filled with warmth, good energy, and unforgettable people. From day one, Che Che and his amazing team made us feel like family. Always smiling, always ready with the best local recommendations, and so genuinely passionate about sharing the story of how he created the lodge—it was inspiring to hear and made our experience even more meaningful. Every detail, from the welcoming atmosphere to the peaceful beachside setting, was just perfect. We left with full hearts and can’t wait to return. Thank you, Che Che and all your team, for everything. We already miss it! From Marta & Sam

Very spacious rooms and very clean spaces in and outside the premises. Comfortable beds and outstanding AC that will cool the room in seconds as well as a fan. Our room had a great little seating space that overlooked the green. The host was very lovely and always attentive. Will definitely recommend it for long and short stays. Very close to the beach and other restaurants, bars, and cafes.

A fantastic place to stay in the heart of Madiha! The hotel is new, and the rooms are fresh and beautifully designed. It’s run by a wonderful family who are incredibly hospitable and make you feel right at home. The location is perfect—close to the beach with great surf, yet in a peaceful area. Madiha itself is a charming and relaxed surf town. Highly recommended!

Dinu and her parents are the sweetest hosts! The property is cleaner than my house :P, there is a small kitchen set up with almost everything for random hour hunger pangs, the bed and furniture is charming! It is a little walk from the main road (2 mins) but all the great restaurants are within 200m. Really loved my stay and highly recommend it ! Very reasonable also. Not to forget the big big breakfast spread they put out on my checkout day!

Extremely welcoming and helpful family. Lovely property with nice new fresh rooms. I was stuck with nowhere to stay due to a misunderstanding. They took me in late at night, I had no bags with me, they gave me PJ's which was honestly such a lovely lovely thing to do. The breakfast the next-day was gorgeous. Dhal, sambol, potato curry, hoppers, the lot!! 2 types of desert. Genuinely lovely people. AND THEIR DOG!!! omg, the cutest fluff Ball I've ever seen.

An Authentic Stay with a Heartfelt Purpose I recently stayed at Sheru Guest in Matara, and it was truly a memorable experience. This charming guesthouse offers more than just a cozy place to stay – it comes with a beautiful mission. Owned by a warm, welcoming Catholic family, Sheru Guest supports the local community by contributing a portion of its earnings to aid underprivileged families in the area. It was wonderful to know that my stay was part of something meaningful, helping fund education, healthcare, and essentials for those in need. The location is ideal for exploring southern Sri Lanka, with Polhena Beach just a short distance away, perfect for snorkeling and enjoying the calm waters. Mirissa is also close by, offering exciting whale-watching tours. The guesthouse itself is peaceful, clean, and thoughtfully maintained. While they don’t serve meals, great local dining options are just a short walk away, making it easy to explore Sri Lankan cuisine. Overall, Sheru Guest provided me with a genuine cultural experience and a sense of home. It’s perfect for travelers who want an affordable, impactful, and authentic stay in Sri Lanka. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Matara.
