Portobello Guest House

The room and facilities were very nice, and the staff were very kind and attentive.

“Wir wurden leider enttäuscht.”

The location was good, and with a scooter everything was quickly reachable. The operator answered our messages fast and arranged a scooter through a neighbor. We booked the Portobello Guest House because of many positive reviews—especially the pleasant vibe, the yoga offer, the breakfast, and the reliable Wi‑Fi. Unfortunately none of that materialised during our stay. At arrival we were only briefly shown the room, and overall we didn’t feel that extra care was taken for us as guests. Only after asking did we learn that due to a low number of guests, breakfast and yoga are currently not offered. That would have been fine—if we’d been informed beforehand. In that case we would have chosen another place. The Wi‑Fi was also very bad. Despite multiple hints we were only told it was normal—yet it didn’t work on either private or work devices. The worst part was the bathroom: the toilet drain was broken, so water leaked when flushing, producing a strong and disgusting smell that made the bathroom almost unbearable. We raised the issue, but no alternative room was offered. We hesitated whether to leave a review. After three weeks of traveling in Sri Lanka and many much better accommodations—some even cheaper—we decided to do so. Overall we are very disappointed.

The location of this guesthouse in Mirissa is superb, letting you reach all nearby beaches in no time, making it an ideal launchpad for exploring the area. The property was recently renovated and is exceptionally clean and well maintained. Two Spanish hosts run it, adding a warm and personal touch, especially with a simple yet delicious Spanish‑style breakfast. The tomato toast was particularly memorable and tasty. The hosts are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making you feel right at home immediately. A sweet bonus: their pup Lima is always eager to greet guests with enthusiasm. All in all, it was a wonderful stay and I highly recommend this place.

“Lugar y anfitriones maravillosos 😍”

The hosts are wonderful—super attentive, ready to help, and eager to give recommendations. The room was very good and the common areas are super pleasant. The place is very quiet yet still close to everything. 100% recommendable.

Amazing stay! If you’re after a spot with a beautiful yoga shala and a tasty breakfast, go there! It’s very close to Mirissa beach, which for us is one of the best beaches in the area. Victor and Paula are very friendly and let us use the yoga mats and the shala. For us this stay was 10/10. Thank you very much guys, we’ll come back again!
