Boutique hotel vacation rentals in South Asia

We had a lovely stay here! Super quiet, slightly away from the Main Street but still very walkable to the beach. The complimentary breakfast was some of the best food we had on our trip - we loved it! AC didn’t get very cool but the temperature was fine wirh the fan for us. Would definitely recommend a stay here!

A good experience.

Even though the duration of our stay was brief, we were welcomed with warm smiles from the very start by our host Suryan (who gave me tips on how to cycle !!) and Ayappan, the really helpful man at the reception. A setting with calmness in tow, there were butterflies and cats circling the block all over. The room we were given was really well looked after and there was no inadequacy that came up during our stay. Besides that, there are some really awesome local cafes and stores that are at a walkable distance (although having a vehicle would be the way to go.) All in all, a stay worth the price and we will definitely visit again someday 🫶🏽

It was first solo trip for my life, I picked Goa and wanted to just have a peaceful one, didn’t want to party crazy, got a recommendation from a friend about Sea Creeks (Ashevm) Trust me such a beautiful place it is, the view you get out of your room is amazing, very few on the beach (feels like a private beach) The staff at Sea Creek is amazing and really really helpful and friendly … Thank You Sea Creeks For Making My First Solo Wonderful P.S : It is a silent place, you are not allowed to play loud music so yea if you wanna party it’s not the place, but if you want “Sukoon” (peace) it is the place for you ❤️❤️ Thank You Patrick 😊

Truly a gem but no good for day trippers because one needs to give oneself time to appreciate the beautifully restored house with its swimming pool and enjoy the warm hospitality of the hosts, the staff and resident pets. That apart, appreciation is also required for the neighbourhood - the quiet Majorda beach is within a reasonable walking distance, Utorda beach is a bit further away, the fields are picturesque and one can enjoy tramping along the paths intersecting them and the village. There are also some good restaurants close by when one needs a change from the otherwise excellent a la carte fare that can be whipped up to order. Charlotte, Simon and Priti steer the ship with a light hand but an ever attentive eye to detail and the well being of their guests.

Dia Homestay is by far my most favorite places at an AirBnB. Everything was perfect, the place is filled with positivity, warmth and good vibes. The rooms were neat and clean, smelled fresh and the rooftop is just an amazing place to chill with your family or friends and spend some quality time. I am so happy I stayed here with my family. Both Mahendra and Ravi were welcoming and helpful.

If you are looking of an oasis and an awesome hideout away from the busy streets of Hikkaduwa you found your place. Traveling can get exhausting, chanakas place is perfect if you feel like staying at home, reading and enjoying some private life in your cabanas. The design is quite unique and one gets the feeling of being at home, as soon as Faust welcomes you.

Very good, friendly and helpful communication. The people around are very very polite and nice. The location is great, the service was great as well. Thank you so much!

Wonderful view, English-looking house and cozy room. If you have your own transportation (scooter is great ) it is a great base for exploring and absolutely ideal just because it is isolated with a breathtaking view which is why we chose it.

We had a very pleasant stay at Bhairaj beautiful Arthouse. He is very easy to talk to and very helpfull! Its possible to have breakfast at his place and you are close by the important sightseeingspots. We recommend Bhairaj and his nice House full or art! Thanks for having us!!!

I spent a week at Meraki and loved it! Every detail—like a flower on the toilet paper, comfy pool cushions, pristine garden, and fluffy towels—added a personal touch. As a small, family-run hotel, Meraki stands out from large chains with genuine care from the owners and staff. On my first solo trip as a woman, I felt completely safe and welcome. The hotel’s design perfectly suits my taste, and I only wished my stay was longer (special thanks to Iona for accommodating a special wish of me!). The pool area is relaxing, and the yoga sessions were very nice (also for a beginner)! With an ideal location near the sea and attractions, plus an excellent breakfast featuring fresh fruits + a la carte options, and fantastic coffee, Meraki truly impressed me. Huge thanks to the entire team! Every single team member was treating me with kindness and I really appreciate this a lot 💚 in my opinion this is the perfect place to be in Sri Lanka’s south coast!

I had a great experience staying at one of the best hotels in Manali. The service was excellent, the staff was friendly and attentive, and the facilities were top-notch. The room was spacious and well-maintained. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Manali!

We absolutely loved our stay here, the location is absolutely perfect, very close to Hiriketiya Beach and the apartment itself is stunning! The staff on reception were brilliant, so kind and helpful. I’d recommend Patrycja’s place to anyone staying in Hiriketiya!

Shashi has one of the best Airbnb's I have stayed in. 1) The room is spacious with a living room .There is also a small nook in the living room, with mattress and cushions on the floor. 2) The ambience of the entire place is truly a standout feature. Balcony is a great place to relax with amazing lightning, clean air and flower plants. 3) Food: You can order food using a menu which will be in the living room. Shashi is a great cook, so you can enjoy good home made food. You don't feel the need to go out for dining.. There is also a kitchen with induction and basic utensils for cooking. 4) The room ensures your privacy as it is situated on the 1st floor with a separate staircase. Lastly, Shashi is a great host. She is very warm, friendly and pro-active. Also enjoyed our time with cloud(dog). Would definitely recommend this place to others.

Such a gorgeous resort and hidden gem! Our room was clean and very comfortable, with a huge bed and large open shower. We stayed in many places in Sri Lanka but this was definitely one of our tops - wish we could’ve stayed longer! Food was also really nice, and very easy check in and check out process.

We stayed a week at Slow Life boutique hotel. It felt very safe and contained . Our room was lovely upstairs with a little balcony ,air conditioning and our own bathroom. Everything was very clean our sheets and towels were changed . The common area was available but when in the hotel we spent more time in our lovely cool bedroom. Marissa was interesting to explore . The southern end of the beach was a lot calmer to swim in. It was great watching the surfers at the northern end of the beach . The only thing that wasn’t available was facilities to cook our own food . But that was fine as there were so many lovely places to eat in Marissa. Our hosts organised a scooter for us to use . Thanks very much for everything.

We loved staying here and would recommend it to anyone! Everyone was very friendly and helpful! The food at the restaurant was very tasty and we liked the area! The room was also nice and clean! Thank you again!

It's quite a good place to stay if you're traveling on a budget. The staff is friendly and responsive.

We had a wonderful stay of 04 Nights & 05 Days. Sahil & Shikha were excellent hosts and fully backed by his team. A special shout out to Vikram (Chef) for churning out some delicious meals and Vishu for his amazing service, polite behaviour (with a smile always). The property is a 5 STAR in every way . Looking forward to visit during the winters.

It was great living in a room (which has a portion of hill), the interior is well designed, and the area is peaceful, away from the main city. The library is also decorated beautifully. In addition to that you will have amazing company of several friendly dogs, Just one thing to highlight is : in winter evenings it gets dark quite early and there is no lighting from the main road to stay entrance (2-5 min walk only though)

Check-in was easy, staff is very kind, always around and happy to help. Stayed for a few days but already feel like home! It has everything I needed, common area kitchen, rooftop area. Thank you for the stay!

This was my first solo trip, and like any other female I too was bit nervous. But the moment I entered the place, it just felt like home. The Hosts Reema and Simon took care of me like their own, and also took me for tour. They asked me what kind of places Id like to explore, and basis on my description they took me to the best places. I was looking for anything away from chaos to connect with myself, and that's what the hosts made possible. During the tour, it did not feel like roaming with any stranger, it simply felt like hanging with family that's how much warm and welcoming both of them were. The stay place is really very peaceful, the rooms are very cozy. It felt so much like my own room, that as I entered the room I would make sure that everything is placed at the right place, and it is clean and tidy. I would never do that In a hotel room. The hosts were always approachable and just one call away for any kind of help. Loved being around them in their property and Goa too.

Had a lovely stay at Manalsu in Gangtok! The highlight was definitely the hospitality .. Chef Roshan prepared delicious, homely meals with a touch of local Sikkimese flavor that made us feel right at home. Abhimanyu was an exceptional host, checking in on us daily and suggesting great local spots to explore. The overall vibe of the place is warm and welcoming – a great base to enjoy Gangtok. Do keep in mind that occasional power cuts can happen, but that’s a general issue in Sikkim, not just here. All in all, highly recommended for anyone looking for comfort, great food, and genuine hospitality!

we had a great time! The room was nice, A/C was working and the Pool was great too. The Location stated on Airbnb was far from the actual Location but we figured it out by searching for Resorts nearby on Google maps
