This was HEAVEN on earth made even better by the fantastically attentive and helpful staff. We stayed at D Canal House for 3 nights in one of the bungalows and can easily say they were the nicest 3 nights of our trip around Sri Lanka. Slightly away from the hustle and bustle of Mirissa main road, D Canal House epitomises tranquility. As you enter the gates you are greeted by a perfectly maintained garden (beautifully lit up at night) leading you past the amazingly presented bungalows towards the main house and the lovely outdoor pool. The staff were brilliantly helpful in organising daily tuktuk’s for us into town, day trip to Galle and offering wider recommendations of restaurants and activities around the area. The breakfast is amazing with tea’s, coffees and water offered throughout the day. The property cleanliness stood out with our room cleaned daily, the garden maintained and the pool area flawlessly kept. We cannot thank the staff at D Canal House more and would recommend this place to anyone thinking of coming to Mirissa for either a short or long stay. Thank you.

6/10 Good

This property is a bit tucked away and not the easiest to access, but once you arrive, it’s well worth the journey. The staff are exceptionally helpful and friendly, and the complimentary tuk-tuk shuttle service to and from the main road is a thoughtful touch that makes getting around much easier. Breakfast is simple but satisfying, providing a good start to the day.

The property was gorgeous and tucked away in a quiet area away from the Main Street yet still conveniently located. The staff were very kind and helpful. The breakfast was fantastic. We were sad to leave this place and would come back in a heartbeat.

Fantastic stay! The staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming. The breakfast was excellent, and my room was already cool and comfortable when I arrived. Even though I arrived later than expected, it was no problem at all, the team was very accommodating and kind. I had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay here again!

The hotel is beautiful. The staff are so friendly and could not be more helpful if they tried. For a calm and peaceful stay, I’d strongly recommend this place.

Everything about this little boutique hotel was perfect. Only a small number of rooms, but with plenty of friendly staff for everything you need. Quiet & serene, a home away from home - but only 5 mins a (free) tuktuk to get to the town & beach.

Great place

The staff is Super nice, very helpful and quick to respond (usually could contact them over WhatsApp and got answers within minutes). The tuktuk service to the main road is a very nice thing to have, tho' we usually walked, wich wasn't that bad either. The rooms were big and nice, the pool area was also very nice. Would stay again if I were in Mirissa.

Beautiful property, very well decorated and surrounded by nature. It is a little far from main road in Mirissa but honestly that was a plus, they offer a free tuk tuk to/from main road and I much prefer the quietness and secluded area where the DCanal is located. Very good breakfast, super friendly staff and a very authentic experience. Loved everything about it!

Absolutely stunning boutique hotel, we stayed in hibiscus room and the sunrise room both were exceptional. The staff the location and the pool were perfect and the breakfast was very good. They lay on a free Tuk Tuk to get you to from hotel to beach takes less than 5 mins but is easily walkable. We visited slightly out of season so Mirissa was quiet and not every restaurant and bar was open but D Canal was still fully booked so advice is book early as this hotel is a real gem in every way. We stayed here for our 25th wedding anniversary and could not have chosen a better hotel

Everything! The hotel is set back from the main hustle and bustle of Mirissa beach road which was ideal. Tuk tuks provided daily to a central location to access all the restaurants and the main beach. The manager when we arrived explained everything to us in such detail including recommendations and all the excursions we could do. Laundry service was an added touch & the rooms were huge, beautifully decadent, spacious with all the amenities you could need, a lovely family style buffet breakfast is provided for a very small charge. The whole team were lovely and helpful, answering any questions- would return in a heartbeat, also a great pool area to relax if the beach is too hectic

10/10 Exceptional

As an accommodation, it is honestly difficult to give any negative feedback. Everything has clearly been well thought through. The staff are exceptionally helpful, friendly, and truly create a personal experience for each guest. Small details such as the pool area being open until 10 PM, hand sanitizers and even earplugs in the rooms (as the birds can be quite lively), the complimentary tuk-tuk service, and the homemade jams at breakfast all made the stay feel very unique and special. There are also plenty of restaurants nearby, even though the hotel itself only serves an evening meal. Refreshments like water, beer, and soft drinks are always available, which is a nice touch. If I could suggest one small addition, it would be offering cocktails during the daytime (for example between 11 AM and 3 PM), as currently the only alcohol options are beer or wine brought by guests. Overall, a wonderful and memorable experience.

D Canal was the highlight of our hotel stays in Sri Lanka. The decoration at the hotel was beautiful and unique. The chef made his own Mango, papaya and lime jam which was to die for. It was definitely the tastiest breakfast we had during our trip. The pool was very relaxing and the staff couldn’t do enough to make your stay enjoyable. There is a free tuk, tuk to and from the property from 10am to 7pm which was very generous. I wish we had stayed longer and will definitely be returning.

Beautiful haven surrounded by wildlife

Really beautiful haven in Mirissa, sitting right on the river and with a lovely pool. Sitting on the balcony, we saw monkeys, lizards, bats and a woodpecker. The furniture was all beautiful and they'd thought of everything, it was very comfortable and the AC was very powerful. The manager couldn't do enough to help, giving fantastic food recommendations, arranging free tuk tuks to get to town and welcoming us to use the pool after we'd checked out

Great value for money. Great location. Amazing! 5*

This was one of our best stays in Sri Lanka. Not only the property was immaculate, but also secluded meaning it was peaceful and private. The books we had was very nice and incredible value for money! Service was well beyond expectations. We were really blown away by the friendliness everyone showed us. I would go back in an eyeblink! Thank you so much to everyone. Ps. The homemade mango marmalade is delicious!

Excellent hotel with extremely friendly and helpful staff. I spent two nights here and everything about the hotel was great. The room was clean and spacious with a large balcony. The breakfast was excellent and the swimming pool is lovely. The hotel is set in a mini oasis with plants and trees everywhere which are lit up a night. It’s about a 15 minute walk from the main road however the hotel provide a free Tuk tuk service to the main road until 7pm. I never felt unsafe walking back to the hotel at night and all the locals are very friendly. I would highly recommend this hotel and would like to say a big thank you to Pria and the rest of the staff who made me feel very welcome during my stay and also organised an early morning canal tour along the canal which backs onto the hotel where I saw a variety of birds as well as water monitors.
