We were guests of Emanuela for breakfast. The coffee won everyone over: high quality and locally sourced. The banana and peanut butter smoothie was delicious as well. We truly appreciated everything that was homemade, from the cakes to the bread, and we could really feel the passion behind this peaceful corner of Madiha. Thank you guys, keep up the great work!

Emanuela, Tharin, and the staff were wonderful. They were incredibly warm, caring, and attentive. Our room was designed with great care, and it was clear that a lot of thought went into what would be practical and comfortable. Everything was spotlessly clean. The food and drinks at the cafe were extremely delicious.

Emanuela ist eine wunderbare und sehr herzliche Gastgeberin. Die Casa Tharín liegt traumhaft schön, nur etwa drei Minuten zu Fuß vom Strand mit Korallenriffen entfernt. Wir hatten das King-Zimmer im oberen Stockwerk und haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt. Das Zimmer verfügt zwar über keine Klimaanlage, was sich jedoch überhaupt nicht als Nachteil erwiesen hat – im Gegenteil. Durch die gut zu öffnenden Fenster und den Ventilator lässt sich das Zimmer auch nachts hervorragend lüften. Es ist sehr geräumig, blitzsauber und mit einem Mückennetz ausgestattet. Ein absolutes Highlight der Unterkunft ist die wunderschöne Terrasse ganz oben. Dort kann man hervorragend entspannen und gemütlich sitzen. Außerdem gehört zur Casa Tharín ein Café, in dem man frühstücken und wirklich ausgezeichneten Kaffee genießen kann. Besonders positiv hervorzuheben ist auch, dass Strandlaken zur Verfügung gestellt werden – ein großer Pluspunkt bei der Nähe zum Strand. Ein kleiner Tipp für zukünftige Gäste: Direkt vor dem Hotel stehen oft Tuk-Tuk-Fahrer, die sehr überhöhte Preise verlangen. Das hat natürlich nichts mit der Unterkunft zu tun. Es lohnt sich, ein paar Schritte bis zur Hauptstraße zu gehen und dort ein Tuk-Tuk zu nehmen. Die Fahrt nach Mirissa ist dann deutlich günstiger. In der unmittelbaren Umgebung der Casa Tarín gibt es zudem sehr gute Restaurants. Abends kann man auch wunderbar spazieren gehen, zum Beispiel bis nach Polhena. Alles in allem hatten wir eine wunderschöne Zeit und einen rundum gelungenen Aufenthalt bei einer sehr liebevollen Gastgeberin. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen!

I had a great two-week stay at Casa Tharin in Madiha and would absolutely come back. The surf spot is just a very short walk away, with a couple of different breaks, so it’s perfect whether you want an easy break or a little faster wave. The owners make you feel welcome immediately — warm, relaxed, and genuinely caring without being overbearing. Their café is a real highlight: excellent breakfast, brunch, and lunch, and honestly one of the best coffee in town. The freshly baked cinnamon rolls are next level and the perfect afternoon snack after a surf. The vibe at Casa Tharin is also great — lots of friendly, international guests, easy to meet people, and a nice balance between social and calm. If you’re coming to Madiha for surfing, good food, and a welcoming atmosphere, this place is a solid choice.

Nous avons passé 4 nuits à Casa Tharin, et tout a été absolument parfait ! L’emplacement, le cadre, les chambres ainsi que le personnel. On se sent comme à la maison et pourrions rester ici des semaines entières. Par ailleurs le restaurant est excellent, mention spéciale pour leurs smoothies bowls

We really enjoyed our time at casa Tharin! The room was nice, simple, clean and had everything you need. The food and coffee were great, and Emanuela and Tharin made us feel at home all the time. Would love to come back.

Agradable ☺ 入住的时候房间很干净,房间用的设备和洗漱物品质量都很好 ☹ 房间隔音比较差,比较吵 我们一共住了3天晚上,每天的room service只是来铺床,并没有更换毛巾或者其他物品 另外房间没有提供瓶装水。这个价格在周边是偏贵的,但是服务完全不值这个价格

Établissement coup de cœur à Madiha ☺ Nous avons tout aimé ! L’emplacement est idéal, au calme mais proche de tout. Les spots de surfs, les resto/bar et les plages pour Le snorkeling à 10/15 min max à pied. L’établissement est magnifique, il y a de la nature, du confort, les chambres sont pensées avec goût, mention spécial pour le toit terrasse avec une vue 360 incroyable ! Les responsables sont présents, extrêmement gentils et aux petits soins, ainsi que tout le reste du personnel, tout aussi adorable. Enfin mention spéciale pour le restaurant, où nous avons très bien déjeuné et petit dejeuné ☹ Rien ! Nous reviendrons avec plaisir, merci beaucoup 🥰

Aceptable ☺ Our stay at casa Tharin was a mixed experience. First the positive- the rooms were spacious, clean and very comfortable also the balcony was nice. The local staff was friendly and cleaning of the room worked well. ☹ What was rather unusual was the way of Emanuela hosting her guests. We had a problem with the battery of the car which was standing in front of the guesthouse just for check in. We of course wanted to move the car right after check in but we did not know the batterie would not work and we would not be able to move it because of this ;) so we told emanuela the host about this problem and she did not even think about helping us - so this means not once asking if we need help while we were outside of her gate. In fact she was in her cafe while we were trying to get a mechanic or find ANY solution 😅 - her most important priority was that we pay right away.. and park our car somewhere else. You can guess who ended up helping us - of course the local neighbours as usual in Sri Lanka. After 6:30/7 pm nobody was there or found in the cafe. We got the Information we needed from another guest. She ended up responding that the cafe opens the next day per whats app but over text eventhough i called her 2 times. If you want to stay there and have quick access to Center its totally fine but dont expect much guest orientated service.
