Mirissa Golden Resort

Had a very bad experience here and didn't end up staying because of how rude the owner was.

Me and partner went to go have a look at one of his rooms and he showed one to us. We were happy with the room and asked how much it is and if we should book on Booking.com. This is when he refused to tell us and went quiet so the other guests couldn't hear, he asked how much we wanted to pay and not knowing the price anyways we said we'll just check what it is online for. Reference seen as he wouldn't tell us a price. He then said no no, how much you want to pay. So I said a price and he asked how many nights and I said I'm not sure yet as we'd just arrived in the area. He then mumbled, closed the door and said "you don't work so you have time to go to to hotels and ask see rooms. Don't waste my time. " I hasn't wafted his time because Iall I wanted to know was a price. We were happy to stay there but obviously needed a price for the room? He was very rude and obnoxious. Be warned about staying here. If anything he wasted his own time and lost out on money because of his behaviour.

I intended to stay one night, but instead stayed 6! This is the best value for the location (3 minute walk from beach) and amenities in Mirissa! For only $10 per night, my own room, comfortable bed, mosquito net in perfect condition, HOT shower with great pressure, and free breakfast made to order every morning. There was no moldy smell, and the furniture/decor in the room was aesthetically pleasing. In addition, Justin, the owner, is the sweetest elderly man.he speaks great English and is always somewhere nearby, keeping an eye on his guests to ensure they are happy.several times I intended to leave, and he would sweetly say, with a look of confusion, "no, you stay. " I didn't need much more convincing, as Mirissa is lovely and I was very comfortable. Several days after I had already checked out of the Resort, I crashed my motorbike just down the street. I was injured and covered in mud. I hobbled over to Justin and asked if I could shower. He was more than accommodating, bringing me into his personal home and attending to my needs. I cannot recommend Mirissa Golden Resort enough! I've been in Sri Lanka for one month and this has been my favorite accommodation so far.
