    We had a fantastic stay at Kismet Rest Mirissa for two days! The location is absolutely perfect—right in the centre of all the main attractions, making it easy to explore Mirissa. The host was incredibly friendly and helpful, always making sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and we felt right at home. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient stay in Mirissa!

    The air conditioning unit was very noisy.

    The apartment we had was large and comfortable. Kismet is centrally located near to the beach and many restaurants, cafes and shops. The staff and owners are very friendly and helpful. There is a large fridge and kettle and the shower was good.

    I would appreciate an offer for breakfast or so but the kitchen is not open during a low season.

    Staff was very nice and booked a whale-watching tour for me for wit fair price (tuk-tuk to/from the port included. Location is within a short walking distance to "city" beaches-5min or "secret beach"-20min. My stay was during a low season so I was almost the only quest and the place was very quiet.

    It was still off season - I can not rate the property as it is in full season.

    No mosquito net. No hot water (but I did not ask for it). The cleanliness (seams I had this problem at almost all properties). Would of been nice to have a kettle and glasses/cups, and some dishes in the room, to be able to prepare a snack and a tea.

    Location is good, beach is close by, so are shops and restaurants, and public transportation. Not on the main road, so quiet. It was still off season (this is not the owners fold - just for info!) so the restaurant was not open yet, but I got a tea for breakfast, on the house. Good AC. God WIFI.

    Rooms could be renovated a bit. But still good price for what you get it you don't expect something super fancy.

    Very friendly hosts. We also booked the whale shipping by them for a good price. Great location, only 3-5mins from the beach. Room has everything that you need.

    The staff were extremely helpful and were reachable at any given point of time during our stay . The room was so clean and spacious . The most wonderful thing about Kismet is that it's very close to the beaches (including secret beach) . The breakfast was nice as well.

    Nothing really.

    This was one of the nicest hotels we stayed in during our three weeks in Sri Lanka. The thing we enjoyed most was the garden. There are several seats where you can relax under the trees. The room is simple but good: comfortable bed, nice shower, spacious. The staff is very kind and always available for recommendations of things to do in the area. The location is perfect, in a street with nice bars and restaurants, close to everything.

    The bathroom was smelling badly but that was only due to very heavy rainfall everywhere and got cleaned up very quickly by one of the staff.

    It is a very nice and quiet place and very close to the beach. Johann and his mother are very friendly people and helped me out when my card didn't work.
