Reviews of Coconut Leaf Shadow Guest

we had a lovely stay

Nice place and very friendly people!

We spent 5 days at Coconut Leaf Shadow Guest and were very happy with the location. It is about a 10 minute walk from the beautiful beach. There are lots of restaurants around so every night you can try out a different restaurant! Our room was very clean and to a high standard! We enjoyed our breakfasts at the restaurant too! The man serving at the restaurant helped us with transport and gave recommendations for snorkling! (I snorkled with DivingGuru- i’d totally recommend!) If you are wanting to save a bit of money, this place is a great value for what you get

The restaurant is quite short staffed, so waiting times for food can take a very long time. We didnt mind waiting over an hour, but this is helpful to prepare for if you have evening plans. Our room had a glass door which meant the room was very bright by 5:30am. I am a light sleeper so the light shining in was a problem. A curtain is needed for the door (ive attached a photo). My partner wasnt bothered by it much because he is a deep sleeper. There arnt many shops nearby either. We thankfully managed just at restaurants, but there is no grocery store if needed.

Clean and tidy. Great restaurant attached to the guesthouse.

The staff at the restaurant and at the hotel were all very nice. They helped us arrange the transfer to our next destination. The room was in good conditions but, at least for me, the pillow was not that comfortable. Also, the bathroom was not that good, here in Sri Lanka is normal to have the shower with no separation to the rest of the bathroom and, on top of that, in the case of this hotel the toilet would get floded after each shower. But apart from those 2 little details everything else was good, reasonable price-quiality

Friendly place with a good restaurant nearby. Close to the beach and easily reachable. They offer a lot of activities around.

The bathroom was super small. The door was traslucent in our apartment and the light could get through, however the rest of apartments were not like that.

Basic accommodation, therefore low price, but with all the things you need. Friendly hosts that you can ask for anything. Very stable internet to get some remote work done. Enough restaurants in the direct neighbourhood. The walk to the beach is very doable. The dogs leave you alone if you want to, but come for cuddles if you want them to.

Good place. But must learn to booking com system.

It's nice and clean. The rooms are small but worth the cost. The staff is friendly. You can walk to Nilaweli Beach within 10 minutes.

A lovely peaceful place just a 10 minute walk from the beach! The owner and staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful, everything was very clean and the room was just as described! Lots of restaurants are very close by, and if you let them know beforehand the owner can provide food at the property. We chose a room with a fan which is of course warmer than AC, however the fan is very effective and kept us cool all night. Highly recommend a stay here if you are travelling to Nilaveli!

Everything was perfect!

A very decent room considering the price with a big enough bed and air conditioning. The owners are very welcoming and we decided to rent a scooter from them for our 2 days in Nilaveli and also use the laundry service which was very good! All in all a good place to stay in the area considering the budget.

The guest house is very close to a local temple and a mosque which both start their calls to prayer very early at dawn, so I wouldn’t necessarily recommend the place to light sleepers.

We felt like at home, warm welcomed and the family helped us with everything we need. Very clean rooms, delicious food and warm atmosphere. We spent 9 nights and really enjoyed our relaxing time in Nilaveli thanks to them.

Nothing to mention.

Everything was perfect

Super clean with beautiful linen, lovely verandah, AC and fan.. and 5 mins from a stunning beach. Gede is a wonderful host with lots of great tips and advice. We booked for 3 nights and stayed for 4 ... such a relaxing place. We hired a scooter opposite in the lane beside the property. Fabulous restaurant a 15 min scooter ride away Daily Delight in Vallipuram.
