    Title: A Fantastic Stay

    Oh, I really struggled with the overwhelming stress of having free private parking. So inconvenient!

    we had a fantastic time at a beautiful place, with a spacious room, comfy bed, and amazing garden full of wildlife. The location near the beach was perfect, and the breakfast was delicious. Akila and Lucky made us feel so welcome, it's hard to leave! Highly recommended.

    Service could have been better.

    Babbylon Mirissa took sustainability to the next level. Super helpful host, vibrant atmosphere, and just a hop, skip, and a jump away from the beach and restaurants!

    Mosquitoes were the perfect companions in my room, but hey, who needs sleep anyway with all the buzzing?

    We had an amazing stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the AC worked perfectly. The hotel had great facilities, including a lovely garden with wildlife like monkeys and birds. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, always ready to assist us. The location was ideal, close to the beach and in a peaceful area. Breakfast was delicious and served like in a high-end hotel. We highly recommend staying here!

    Everything great.

    The double room at Babylon Mirissa was amazing! It had a private entrance and a terrace with beautiful garden views. The room was spacious, clean, and had a private bathroom with a refreshing shower. As a business guest, I felt comfortable and relaxed during my stay.

    Personally, I didn't find the bidet in the private bathroom necessary, but others might appreciate it.

    The double room at Babylon Mirissa was a dream come true for a light sleeper like me! The private entrance and terrace with garden views created a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The air conditioning allowed me to stay cool and comfortable throughout the night. The room was perfectly clean and spacious, making me feel right at home.

    I personally didn't enjoy the bidet in the private bathroom. But hey, that's just my personal preference.

    I stayed at Babylon and it was my favorite place in Mirissa. Spacious, clean dorm with a peaceful atmosphere. Beautiful garden to relax in with visiting monkeys. Close to the main street and beach. Helpful and friendly owner Akila, who provided a delicious dinner. Convenient location, close to cafes. Comfortable beds and clean, new rooms with nice bathrooms.

    Can't recommend this hotel highly enough.

    At Babylon Mirissa, I got amazing value for my money with super clean and spacious rooms, complete with comfy beds and lovely bed linen. The location was perfect, right across the street from the beach and close to everything. The staff, especially Akila and Sandun, were friendly, helpful, and made my stay even more enjoyable.

    Breakfast delights could be improved with a wider variety of options.

    We had an incredible stay in a beautiful guest house with spacious and comfortable rooms. the breakfast was a treat, cooked with attention to detail and served in a lovely garden. the host went above and beyond to make our stay memorable, providing helpful information about the local culture and history. the location was ideal, just a short walk to the beach and close to everything we needed. the overall value for money was exceptional.

    The WiFi signal could be unreliable at times.

    I had an incredible stay at Babylon Mirissa. The dorm room was spacious and spotlessly clean, with a modern and stylish design. The bathroom was also spacious and kept very clean. I loved the fact that the hostel was located so close to the main street and the beach, yet it felt like a peaceful oasis away from the noise. The beautiful garden added to the overall relaxing vibe of the place. The breakfast served was absolutely delicious and gave me enough energy to skip lunch. The highlight of my stay, however, was the wonderful host, Akila. He was extremely friendly, fun, and knowledgeable about Sri Lankan history and culture. He went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable and helped me with anything I needed. His adorable dog, Lucky, was a bonus treat. I cannot express enough how much I enjoyed my time at Babylon Mirissa and how much value for money it offered. I highly recommend this hostel for a superb stay.

    I must admit, it was really hard to leave this place. The only drawback of my stay was the fact that my holiday had to come to an end and I couldn't stay longer.
