    Nothing.

    EVERYTHING! The best breakfast-included of my entire life and i've travelled almost continuously for the past 6 years. It's a homely feeling with the luxuries of a cute AirBnB. The room, especially the bathrooms, are just so beautiful and photogenic. The breakfast is YUMMY and photogenic. I love the staff, their courtesy, and the service. We ordered some bar snacks so they sent trail mix which was fish-spiced - IT WAS SO GOOOOD

    We had a wonderful stay at Jini House. The owners gave us a very warm welcome. The room was comfortable and conveniently located close to the beach. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast twice during our stay. On the day of our departure, the owner helped us with the return of the Tuk Tuk and arranged transportation to the airport. We would definitely recommend staying here to anyone!

    Beds are too short for western people.

    Great stay. Good breakfast. Lovely staff. The younger brother who is working there is very nice and friendly and makes your stay very pleasant. Good location for Kabalana beach, but long walking distance to the main area (which we did not mind).

    My partner and I spent one night at the Jini House and we were amazed by the service, the staff and the breakfast! The room was very naturalistic: with stones, ropes, a lot of light and plants. The breakfast was delicious and included a lot of food (eggs of your choice, sourdough bread, muesli, cake, pancakes etc.). It also has a swimming pool and it is positioned in a nice quiet area near the beach. Ideal place if you want to visit Ahanghama, Mirissa, and everything in between. We will definitely be back!

    Amazing home stay with kind family, best breakfast on our trip, beautiful room & bathroom and a nice pool to cool down. They also rent bikes and scooters, organise rooftop yoga, do laundry... So you have everything you need in one spot in a nice and quiet location near Kabalana beach.

    We loved it here - the location of Kabalana beach is great and much better and less crowded than Ahangama itself, it's a short walk to a great beach as well as excellent food options. The breakfasts and food at Jini House was also great, and we got use out of the pool and loved watching the monkeys play from our balcony. The location is lovely and quiet, perfect for sleeping but a walk or tutkuk will get you anywhere quickly too. The hosts and staff were fantastic, we will be coming back!

    What a great place to stay ! Super clean and comfortable. I got in super early and they let me store my luggage and got the room ready for ahead of time which was really appreciated. They continuously went above and beyond to ensure I was having a good stay. The beds are super comfy and the free breakfast is one of the biggest I’ve ever seen! Highly recommend!

    Our stay at the Jini House was truly incredible. The room was spacious, clean, nicely decorated and in a great location, a walking distance from Kabalana beach, the best beach of Ahangama in my opinion. What made our stay memorable however, is the staff! They were so friendly, helpful and provided the best breakfast we had so far in Sri lanka! Would really recommend this place to anyone! We had the best time
