The making of this place is the owner. He was incredibly friendly, helped us with directions and organised tuktuks, and offered a basic dinner of a whole fish with chips and salad, which was incredible! We stayed for 1000rs each as a group of 6. The rooms are certainly tatty, and as the reviewer below mentioned there dead bugs in... More

We stayed here for 1 night, as that's all we had planned to spend in Tangalle, however if we had intended on staying longer we would definitely have moved somewhere else after the first night. The Bad: The place is run down and the rooms are old and dirty. I don't mind basic - in fact sometimes this spells character... More

Me and my husband stayed in next door guest house, but we stopped at Kingfisher for lunch and my prawn cream soup was really good! We also enjoyed late afternoon banana shake on beach chair the other day and this place is really great atmosphere, relaxing, easy lazy. It is simple, cheap backpackers place, but for me Kingfishers offers everything... More

We stayed here for 2 nights on the beggining of our trip and 2 nights when we need some rest after our tour of Sri Lanka ... the best place for relax, really nice service and the best food ever on Sri Lanka ... Devilled fish and prawns with garlic rice and salad ... I miss this place :)) H.

It was a great accomodation directly on the beach, the food was tasty and for a good price and the stuff was really friendly - young guys, really helpfull. It was fun talking to them in the evening. Great choice!

We stayed here for 3 nights in the cheapest room available - R800 (separate bathroom). The accommodation is really basic, but you can't beat that price. Cons: -The room is right next to the restaurant so can sometimes be noisy -The fan on the roof was so loud! - The shower didn't have a light Pros - Literally on the... More

We didnt stay in the guest house so are unable to comment on this as accomodation. However we decided to go for a meal one night during our stay. I can honestly say it was the worst meal we ate in Sri Lanka and the worst meal I have ever eaten. When the food arrived it had a really strong... More

Great beachside option in Tangalle. The boys here were friendly and helpful, setting up a couple of deckchairs on the beach with a beer for us on arrival - very welcome after a 6 hour bus ride from Nuwara Eliya. For us it was the main guy who runs Kingfisher - I think his name is Rajitha - who made... More

Ahhh Kingfisher, i m in love with this place and the people that worked there!! i ended up there by luck, found the manager Rohitha so friendly that i ended up staying 6 days in the long chair facing the sea, looking the cows passing by, listening the waves crushing on the shore and i gave english lesson to Rohitha...
