Reviews of Schatzi's Hideaway 2 stars

A lovely place to stay in Tangalle. Peace Calm and serenity down here, full of wild life everywhere and well located next to the beach. The owner of the place was very helpful and has a very good English. Very nice staying in here and price really affordable. I warmly recommend this place if you are visiting Tangalle, I wish I could come back here in the future !

Janith was a perfect host. He was there 24/7 to help us with everything. Also the location was perfect, you feel like you are in the middle of the jungle. But when you walk 5 minutes you come to the most perfect beach.

Had a great time. It's super chilled and Lucky is a very attentive and always looking to help in any way. He also cooks some great food!

Amazing quiet location, walking distance to the nearby beach by a lovely junglely footpath where I saw monkeys, loads of crabs, many birds, varano lizards and even two small snakes (inoffensive). Easy to get bus to nearby surfing beaches like Kudawella and Hirikrtyia or to Tangalle. Amazing kind and helpful staff and delicious food.

The room I stayed in has a window facing a brick wall which is a bit sad with such a lovely environment and garden around the house... But to be fair I didn't spend that much time in the room anyway.

Super tranquil spot

N:A

It was perfect. The property is relaxed, quiet and surrounded by a beautiful garden and nature. Even though it feels like it, it is not far off the nearby cities (10 min by scooter) and small shops and restaurants can be found all around. You can easily go to Mawella beach by foot (3-5 minutes). We recommend renting a scooter to make full use of other nearby beaches. However, there are lots of buses for that as well. Everything is clean. The hosts are extremely welcoming, friendly, helpful, and easy to talk to. They make you feel home.

Great location near to a very quiet and beautiful beach. The property is great, and the hammock and seating in the garden area are a great touch! We really enjoyed the food and would recommend trying the optional dinner at least once: it was one of the best rice and curries we had in Sri Lanka. The hosts are really helpful and offer assistance with organising lots of local activities, including kayaking on the lagoon close by.

The nicest people you will ever meet. Highly recommended.

Beautiful homestay near a calm beach. It has a nice garden and hammocks to chill in during the day. The best part about the stay were the hosts and the food!

The beds were quite old and made noise by every movement.

The room was very simple but clean. But for that price we didn't expect anything else. The owner was very friendly and helpful.

Breakfast. It's ridiculous to ask $4 USD for one(!) egg and tiny bit of pineapple in Sri Lanka (whole pineapple costs Rs. 15 Sri Lanka rupees and 10 eggs about Rs. 50... what's like $0.2 USD)

We have very nice room 🥰 Owners were really nice and helpful 🤩 They had really good food in good price 🙃

Food was too good and we ate too much 🤣

The staff are very friendly and helpful, . It has a very good location. The room is very clean and comfortable and the bathroom is very nice. I have dinner there and it is the best meal I have had in Sri Lanka, very delicious.

One of my best stays in Sri Lanka yet ! Ishara and his wife have a beautiful home surrounded by nature, which is only a five minute walk from a beautiful and secluded beach! The room was very big and clean, as well as the bathroom. They went above and beyond to help with everything and made an amazing dinner for me, including teaching me how to make it. In the end they even drove me to my next destination. If you are in tangalle, you have to stay here, 10/10 recommend. Will definitely be back !!

Very very nice people, would always come again. Bed was a bit uncomfortable, but for this price definitely still super good! The hosts were so nice, the breakfast was delicious and they even showed us how to cook traditional Sri Lankian Hoppers! 😍

Very nice hosts, and fair price and quality. We could rent a scooter with them for a fair price little bit more expensive then we rented before but still good! He also arranged a jeep safari in yala with his brother en also brought us to Ella. Very nice people and would really recommend it! Also de serve dinner wich is very tasty and fair price.

Location was little further away from beaches and town, you need a tuck tuck or scooter to move around. A tip: a floor scrapper in the shower to get rid of the water

The hosts are super friendly and try their best to make the stay most comfortable!

Personnel is great

the house itself is beautiful and built firmly and looks simple white modern style. Owner is experienced person, fluent English speaker so you can discuss many interesting things about Sri Lanka with him. He also being distributor of the Tea and you can buy nice local tea by very good price. provided kayaks even though felt boring for me, but the option to have kayaks itself is very good to have.

you need to plan what will you do, cause location is quite far from the Tangalle beach, but in other hand place is quite and good for taking breath if you tired from active actions. but again, my personal understanding is that place itself doesnt offer much options how to spend your time, you need to carry of that yourself. and again - totally personal issue - is to find a place to eat nearby.
