Guest reviews for Dolphinchilling
"This was the absolute perfect place to end our 4 weeks travel through Sri Lanka. Beautiful property, clean beach good for swimming, very relaxed vibe. Wonderful family host and the best rice and curry dinner! We had planned to stay only 1 night but extended to stay for the remainder of our trip instead of heading to Negombo. If you want to relax and enjoy life, highly recommend staying here!"

"Great little place right on the beach. The meals are outstanding and served in the beach hut. I was only here one night, but this is the perfect place to relax for a few days and explore the area. The owner is also very friendly."
"The rooms are small and basic, but they are clean and comfortable."
"Clean, quiet and beautiful atmosphere. View on the sea when you open the door of the room. The familly was very kind, helpful and flexible. They found a bicycle so that I could go to the city center on my own."
"The food they prepare was delicious but the price are not the ones that we see on the pictures of the menu. It was a bit too pricy."

"We had a lovely stay here, right on the beach and very peaceful. Wtahcing the fiahermen bring in their catch and reading. The room was clean and had a fan. Lots of bird life. Far better than staying in Kalpitya town. Rexy was a wonderful host and made us a fantastic and flavoursome fish dinner. The village is small and quiet but with a few little shops and other food places, rural seaside piece of Sri Lanka"

"A place with a soul. Everything here is thought out, refined and aesthetic. Starting from fresh, clean and fragrant cotton bedlinen and towels, through the arrangement of the rooms to the development of the area around. The entire area is very well-kept. The host is warm-hearted, communicative, hospitable and helpfull, and at the same time leaves you space. After two months of traveling around Sri Lanka, we came here for the last 5 days and it was the best place to say goodbye to this country. I recommend this place with pleasure."
"The ocean in this place can be stormy due to strong winds. Especially during the approaching monsoon. Unfortunately, this causes the waves to throw a lot of garbage on the beach. This is the only thing that bothered us, but it is difficult to do anything about it."
"This is the place where you can find the peace in your mind. The guest house is very clean because the staff work very hard. The staff 's mother is a great cooker.l'm missing the curry now."
"No"

"My wife and I stayed here for two nights. The location is great, right next to Yala National Park. The huts are hand-built, made of clay, living in them is a unique experience. The host is very kind and friendly, helps in any way he can, we are very grateful to him for that and are glad that we met! 😊 The host also prepared some delicious traditional food for us. He will also help with organizing a safari, and can take you around the area himself and tell you interesting stories!"

"I can’t put into words just how beautiful and spectacular this place is. Honestly WOW! My rooms that had over 15 foot ceilings, everything made of stone, fans and air conditioning, the nature surrounding us, the Pool and the hotel grounds, the warm and amazing staff! My stay was short and I regret not staying longer. Just AMAZING and also the owner was there to answer all my questions and last minute demands. Don’t forget to tip the staff because they go over and beyond for you."

"What an unforgettable stay! The location of this camp is beautiful and perfectly located for the safari tour. You have direct access to the dune area during sun set hours. Just be aware that you will have to walk quite a bit through deep sand and there are a lot of nature sounds during the night."
"Lovely design of property, good homemade food and attentive staff. Moonlight safari was well worth it."
