Hikkaduwa hotellia

Plussat: Good location just off the busy main road. Nice clean pool and gardens Great breakfast Really good value for money

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very clean and tidy. Good location, shops and restaurants walking distance.

Plussat: Everything was perfect. Villa is on silent place but is near the centre and beach. Room was big and very clean. Garden and swimming pool was very clean too. The stuff was frinedly and they help us with everything. Breakfast was good. This accomodation was one of the best in Sri lanka

Plussat: We found The Oasis Villa to be a pleasant place to spend our time in Hikkaduwa. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The property including pool was kept very clean. Room sizes were large and the bathrooms were also of a generous size. Breakfasts were tasty and plentiful. It exceeded our expectations given the reasonable room rate.

Miinukset: I can't think of anything I didn't like about Oasis.

Plussat: Great location, good size room and bathroom, big balcony. Very clean. A very, very good breakfast. Lovely pool and super friendly staff. We had a late check out and, without asking, gave us a room, with bathroom, to use for the day. No charge. Would highly recommend.

Miinukset: There was nothing they could improve on.

Plussat: Pidin aamiaisesta, oli kiva saada tuoreita hedelmiä heti aamulla ja sen jälkeen suolaista, oli kananmunaa ja leipää

Miinukset: Ei tule mieleen

Plussat: Fantastic stay. Breakfast was exceptional, the staff were very helpful & friendly and the pool was great. The room was very clean and the attached kitchenette was useful. A 30 second walk to the beach and the shops start a 100 metres up the road.

Plussat: Perfect location on the opposite side of the street from the beach. Directly across the street from an access pathway to the beach. Lovely pool. Huge villa style room with kitchen. Delicious and large breakfast.

Miinukset: The power went out and there was no generator (wasn’t too bad because at least there was a full moon that night) lots of mosquitos on the main level in the lobby.

Plussat: The facilities were wonderful, the design and size of the rooms just perfect. Everything was pristine clean. It is a 3 minuten walk from the beach. The staff were super helpful and kind. The owner Kingsy was also extremely helpful and welcoming. A top notch accommodation for more than reasonable price.

Miinukset: Everything was wonderful.

Plussat: Hyvä aamiainen, millä pärjäsi pitkälle päivään. Hotellin sijainti hyvä lähellä merta. Uima-allas riittävän iso ja mukava alue muutenkin. Ystävällinen henkilökunta ja tilavat huoneeet.

Miinukset: Junaliikenteen melu oli toisinaan aika kova, mutta siihen tottui kyllä aika pian, vaikka raiteet olivatkin aivan vieressä.

Plussat: I really recommend this place for staying. - clean and refreshing pool - good breakfast - kitchen in the room to cook - enough place for parking - close to the beach and supermarket - you may pay be card w/o any comission

Miinukset: - a little bit dirty kitchen - we asked one more bed sheet and a blanket, and they were pretty smelly

Plussat: The staff were brilliant always smiling and happy to help with advice booking us taxis. The breakfast was excellent and again always served with a smile. our room was large and spotless.The outside gardens and pool area again were kept immaculately it was a pleasure to sit in them.

Miinukset: we loved everything

Plussat: The most perfect location, right on the beach. The room was clean and comfy- plus delicious breakfast. The owner was so friendly and welcoming - would definitely return!!!!

Plussat: The room offers a fantastic beachy vibe that goes well with the whole environment.

Plussat: Friendly host always ready to assist you with accurate info and proper guidance Top floor room gives the impression of a penthouse

Miinukset: Nothing really

Plussat: Our room was huge and and airy with large 4-poster bed with mosquito nets. The air conditioning was super-efficient. The bathroom was a large wet room with powerful shower. The balcony was a large wrap-around giving us views to all sides including unobstructed views of the huge waves crashing onto the shore. The breakfast was delicious. Eggs any way you choose with delicious crusty toasted bread. A pot of Sri Lankan tea or coffee and a plate of delicious fruits. If you want a traditional Sri Lankan breakfast it is possible to pre-order it the day before. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The public areas were spotlessly clean and tidy.

Miinukset: There was nothing we didn't like.

Plussat: Hotelli erittäin siisti, kodikas, lämminhenkinen, luotettava ja sijainti parhaalla paikalla Hikkaduwassa Narigama beachilla. Ranta leveä ja puhdas. Henkilökunta erittäin ystävällistä ja avuliasta. Hotellin kautta sovittu lentokenttäkuljetus toimi erinomaisesti, vaikka lentomme oli useita tunteja myöhässä. Aamupala riittävä ja hotellin ravintolan ruoka hyvää. Lämmin suositus paikalle!

Plussat: The place is lovely and the staffs are very helpful.

Plussat: all the facilities and the room arrangements were vry clean and the staff were very good at their service..... had a great time there....thank you Neela Rest

Miinukset: no food shops nearby

Plussat: Fantastic.. A beautiful hotel in a great location. Enjoyed stay.. Recommend place to stay in hikkaduwa.. Special thank for Mr. Chamara Prasad(manager) and rest of the staff for their superb hospitality.

Plussat: Lämminhenkinen paikka, jonne haluaa palata uudelleen. Olimme nyt toista kertaa viikon. Äärimmäisen siistiä ja palvelu miellyttävää. Tilava huone ja hyvä sänky. Bonuksena parveke osittaisella merinäköalalla. Parvekkeelta mukava kuunnella meren kohinaa. Ihana ranta ja rantaravintola, josta saa erinomaista ruokaa. Vilkkaan kauppakadun varrella, mutta liikenteen äänet eivät häirinneet - mukavaa kun on palvelut lähellä. Iso kiitos Neela's!

Miinukset: Nettiyhteys toimi välillä hitaanlaisesti.

Plussat: By far the cutest place I’ve ever stayed in. The guest house owned by an amazing family whom love the place and take a great care of it as well as of their guests. It was very nice of them to upgrade me to the AC room which is wonderfully decorated and facing the beach. Absolutely beautiful place overall, was very impressed. Location is great too, close to the train station and located on main street with the beautiful beaches right at the doorstep. Hands down would recommend to everyone.

Plussat: Extremely friendly staff! Right on the beach. Can’t go wrong. I highly Recommend staying here! Can’t wait to come back

Plussat: They have an amazing place here! We were very happy that we were upgraded to the room with sea views. The room was spacious and had a beautiful view. The staff is so kind and can help you with anything.

Miinukset: Because there were not so many tourists around, a lot of the beach restaurants were either deserted or closed. Therefore we walked to Hikkaduwa (20 min.) if we wanted to chill on the beach. Still a great location though!

Plussat: Nice place,big room, very clean, very friendly stuff ( Hi, Ranga)

Plussat: Quite area. Supermarket & wine store are 5 min walk. Beautiful terrace. Stylish design of inn.

Miinukset: At night there is some rather sharp noise becuse of animals.

Plussat: Best staff ever and the rooms ware super clean!

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Breakfast should have more options

Plussat: Ranga and the rest of the staff are the best people. Nice, clean rooms in a quiet part of Hikkaduwa. Great breakfast as well. We loved staying here.

Plussat: Staff was amazing, location was perfect and foe breakfast you could choose between several delicious variations. Mit

Miinukset: We had a Kingroom which was directly next to the reception and breakfast place which is why we always had to close the curtains complety.

Plussat: Beautiful spacious room with a nice view from the private balcony. Charming and calm location at 4 min walking distance to the Hikkaduwa main street and beach. Very nice staff. Sri Lankan breakfast was delicious

Miinukset: The only thing I disliked was the bedsheets. Of course they were washed but they still had some visible stains from previous guests on it.

Plussat: It was the best hotel we stayed at during 4 weeks in Sri Lanka. Beautiful and spacious rooms, very modern bathrooms, super friendly staff and comfy beds. It was absolutely perfect!

Miinukset: Wish we stayed longer.

Plussat: Top Spot, directly at the Beach, super cute House and couple who hosts you so nice!!

Miinukset: Nothing to complain about, only a little too high priced

Plussat: The whole experience was great. The couple who own the oriental rest and their chef were always helpful and polite. The breakfast and meals provided for us in the evenings were both excellent and good value. The sun loungers and umbrellas on a well designed terrace raised above the edge of the beach were of good quality. The Beach here is very quiet and swimming in the sea was great.The covered area was a good spot for meals and again looked out over the ocean. The palm trees in the garden area were lovely and gave extra shade. Our room was clean and tidy and was serviced regularly it had a nice shaded terrace with views to the ocean through the palms. Shower and a/c were both of a good standard (the bathroom having been updated fairly recently). The property is a lovely walk along the beach (about 3.5km) to the center of Hikkaduwa with numerous places to eat and drink on the way. Because all four rooms are facing the beach the sound of the waves overrides most road noise and so we slept really well. This is an older property that has been very tastefully updated with some lovely artistic touches.

Plussat: It is great that the hotel is a bit far from the crazy center of Hikkaduwa with ongoing party, the sound of ocean is clear and you can hear it even in your room. The owner and his wife are keeping the place clean and neat, they have a nice old-man who is a Chef and he knows how to cook tuna in a way that you would be ready to die for another piece of it. Cozy rooms, A/C set perfect and keeps the room cool enough, clean and very good shower room, the chairs right by the room make it more comfortable for you, if you wish to enjoy a glass of wine in the evening.

Plussat: Staff and location

Miinukset: This is not good location during off season

Plussat: Great location on the beach. Wonderful hosts who really went out their way to make our stay comfortable. Upon request They arranged for a airport transfer from Colombo airport and a 2 wheeler to get around town. It’s small property with only 4 rooms with plenty of privacy and personal attention by the hosts. Special mention must be made of the delicious breakfast they serve consisting of an assorted fruit platter, yogurt with honey and eggs and toast. Great value for money!!

Plussat: Villa right at the beach - you feel like in paradise! Located in a quieter area, you are just a one-minute tuk tuk ride away from the main beach. Very clean beach, relaxed atmosphere. The host and his wife and staff are welcoming you like their own family and you do really feel that you arrived in a place with lots of positive energy. There is a security guard making you feel safe all night (and meanwhile being very discrete) and the chef cooks delicious dinner (for example fresh seafood cought by a friend). Extremely clean. You can also book tours, diving and a taxi. The host really goes the extra mile to provide VIP feeling! If you go to Hikkaduwa, you MUST stay here!!!

Miinukset: -

Plussat: Beautiful location, helpful staff and the owner. They still clean up and want to do everything you see in your eyes. Breakfast overlooking the ocean was wonderful. We thank you for everything.

Miinukset: Big waves in the ocean. No bars and restaurants around the Oriental rest. To Hikkaduwa city center by tuk tuk for 200 LKR.

Plussat: We are so happy we choose this place for our stay in Hikkaduwa , the villa was amazing with a stunning sea view , away from the center so the beach was all ours . the place is run by a local family , a very nice couple who made feel like we where home , it was very clean and confortable . we loved the breakfast at the terrasse , food was delicious and the chef was very nice , he made whatever we asked for . we had an amazing stay and will definitely recommande this place to our friends and of course we will go back !

Plussat: Lovely place with an amazing staff and breakfast. Excellent location,clean,quite and calm relaxing place. We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed well. The renovations have only been done recently and the design is amazing. A friendly staff and breakfast was great. I would definitely recommend this place.

Plussat: Great location with direct view with sea, excellent breakfirst. Very nice couple provide heartwarming service.

Miinukset: might be better if every room can receive Wifi.

Plussat: Pool immaculate and clean Breakfast was plentiful fruit juice was lovely and the scrambled eggs were delicious Staff were all friendly and the grounds were pwell maintained Good fridge in room

Miinukset: The Mrs prefers a softer mattress

Plussat: It was very clean and the staff was very friendly. Always pleased to make us feel comfortable.

Miinukset: A bit offside. That’s good for relaxing but you have to walk a bit to get to the beach. Scooter rental from hotel is no Problem (about 1.000 rupees per day). You can also eat at the hotel.

Plussat: Very quiet, very clean.

Miinukset: Nothing, all good.

Plussat: Great little place, immaculately clean and very well run

Plussat: This hotel is a slice of heaven! We stayed for 5 nights at the end of our trip and id love to go back and spend 2 weeks at This hotel. The place is spotless and really well maintained. We stayed in a gorgeous room looking out over the pool which was super clean. The staff are so friendly and helpful and even Kevin(the dog) was our best friend in no time. It's a short tuk tuk ride or 20 min walk to the main town/beach which is full of nice restaurants and shops! I'd highly recommend this hotel and hope to go back and visit soon.

Plussat: The accommodation the facilities the food were wonderful owner and staff very friendly and polite Nothing was to much Will go again

Miinukset: Nothing it was almost perfect.

Plussat: Absolutely amazing paradise in the jungle, yet near the beach and restaurants. Only short tuktuk ride away. Super quiet and comfortable.  The staff is so nice and everywhere is spotless clean. Breakfast was great, and we had also a few good lunches by the pool. The place is so small, that you get to know all the quests and staff, which was great. The staff would do anything for you. I heard the suites are awesome, but our villa was just perfect. Also the place looked better in real life than in the pictures.

Plussat: Everything was perfect, we really enjoyed our stay in this hotel. We had a room on the first floor with the terrace - the room was even better than we expected, comfortable and clean. We had very good breakfasts, and had no doubt that in the restaurant was served only fresh food, that’s why if we had a chance we prefered to have our meal there, prices were acceptable. The staff of the hotel is amazing, very honest, patient, flexible and attentive to every guest, we’ve been really surprised looking how carefully everyone was doing his job. If we had any problem, it was fixed immediately. The manager gave us some good recommendations about places to see, we realized that his options were optimal in terms of quality and price. The location of the hotel is perfect - it is surrounded by nature, very calm and quite atmosphere, however it is close to Hikkaduwa with good infrastructure (you can get to it by Tuk-Tuk), the beach is 15 minutes walk, and the beach is good, long and wide. If we come back to Sri Lanka, we’ll choose this hotel.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: The view from our suite was amazing, wild peacocks, all varieties of birds and monkeys. Lovely modern , clean place with friendly efficient staff. Security was good as the place is quite remote but only a short cheap tuk ride to beach ,shops,, restuarants or railway station. Allowed to stock fridge with your own drinks. Perfect place for us !

Miinukset: Nothing !

Plussat: We had a fantastic stay at Vesma Villas. The hotel and facilities were wonderful and the staff was really the best. -So thoughtful and friendly. We can definitely recommend the property!!

Plussat: The room was beautiful, the tall ceiling made it feel very spacious. Lovely bathroom with bath tub. Great balcony. The swimming pool was excellent, right on the beach :) would highly recommend.

Miinukset: The WiFi was really quite terrible.

Plussat: the room, the pool, fantastic beach. Breakfast was excellent.

Miinukset: Dinner did not meet the standard of breakfast.

Plussat: The pool was beautiful. And so was the beach. Fantastic being beachfront. The room was lovely. Liked having a balcony with a beach view. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Good people.

Miinukset: The food was average. Could probably be a bit cheaper too. The price is. Bit too high for what it is. Needs to be no more than $180 aud for 2 pax.

Plussat: Wonderful hotel on great quiet location. Rooms are spacious en well equiped. Staff is nice and polite. Will absolutely return here.

Miinukset: Breakfast needs an upgrade.

Plussat: The room was very spacious, bathroom was beautiful. The view from the room was amazing and beach was just few meters from the property.

Miinukset: Bathroom could do with more lighting.

Plussat: We can really recommend this hotel, everything was top and beyond expectation. Nice and helpful staff, absolutely fabulous rooms with astonishing views, a breakfast out of the ordinary and the food was awesome. Nice pool area and right on the beach. If you go to Hikkaduwa you just have to stay here!

Plussat: Staff were very good and helpful. Room upgrade was great. Only issue front door was rubbing and handle fell off.

Miinukset: Front door to Room.

Plussat: The pool was lovely and staff super helpful

Miinukset: The WiFi didn’t work or was very very slow

Plussat: I was travelling alone and spent a week at Roman Beach to just chill and relax, and every single staff member went above and beyond to make every part of my stay absolutely perfect! The room was clean and beautiful, and had a patio with an amazing view of the ocean. The pool area was quiet, relaxing, and opens up onto a quiet beach area. I had breakfast, lunch and dinner here, and the food was always fresh, healthy and delicious. Can’t say enough good things!

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: We stayed in an Ac room with hot water. Great water pressure. Clean large room with coffee making facilities and a fridge. The pool is gorgeous and really clean. The breakfast was the best of the trip so far. They served perfectly cooked eggs and bacon(bacon!!! We couldn’t believe it!!)

Miinukset: It’s next to a large pond so it’s very mossie heavy. The cleaner leaves the cleaning stuff (and there’s a lot. Buckets, mops, large hoover etc) strewn outside your balcony or on the lawn from 9am onwards which looks unsightly as you step over it and also when it’s only early it makes you feel pressured for no reason.

Plussat: budget hotel

Miinukset: dirty rooms. not maintained. not well staffed. no toiletries provided.

Miinukset: Aamiaishuone ei ollut viihtyisä, oli epäsiisti

Plussat: The atmosphere was great and the location was excellent. Very homely....

Miinukset: The pool and the area was lovely

Plussat: Very welcoming and friendly staff. Recieved welcome drinks on arrival. Facilities were clean and the staff went out of their way to make our stay very enjoyable.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: I am a backpacker, and I arrived the hotel after food poisoning I had.. I wanted some peace and comfortable private room. This hotel is so cute , and completely worth the price ! The staff helped me with everything I needed- from calling to a doctor till loan me some cash money because I didn’t have (!) till cleaning the room whenever I asked for and so.. the pool is sweet, the location is good ! Eventually I stayed two more nights- enjoyed the hot water shower, AC, super comfortable bed and private terrace..! The only disappointing thing was the breakfast which is standard and nothing more.. everything else was amazing !

Plussat: Great location just off main road and minutes from the beach . Great pool and cleaned our room daily

Plussat: Great breakfast with fresh fruits and fresh juice (really made just few seconds before serving - I could hear the sound of mixer every morning)

Plussat: I liked that it has a pool

Miinukset: Rooms and especially bathroom could have been a bit cleaner

Plussat: Very nice place, big and comfortable room

Plussat: clean.

Miinukset: They were not prepared when i have arrived. No breakfast. Tried to call the property asking for breakfast. No one answered. They took half an hour to find the key for my room.

Miinukset: Wifi ei toiminut

Plussat: Very welcoming staff. Excellent service. The room was spacious and clean. The restaurant is one of the best in the area.

Plussat: Stayed in Jasmine room. Large room with balcony overlooking the lake. Large bathroom with bath and shower plus his and hers sinks. Breakfast very good. Pool clean and good size. Very good meals and snacks. Very enjoyable stay.

Plussat: A cut above the rest, it’s a credit to Dale and his team that they manage to maintain their high standard all year round and have done for as long as I have been visiting Hikkaduwa which is over 9 years

Plussat: The location, the cleanliness, well maintained garden with beautiful Flowers and Trees the Swimming Pool the fresh cooked food, very happy with the service, we will return. An excellent Boutique Hotel, around and about the Asian Jewel, there are many birds to spot, if you are interested in Birds.

Plussat: It was a truly memorable stay at Asian Jewel Boutique Hotel. We went on a family trip and stayed one night there. The staff was so nice and polite. They were always helpful. We stayed in Kingfisher room which was very clean and had a private balcony with a great view of the nearby lake. Room was spacious enough. The neighborhood was calm and quiet. They had a little but clean pool at the front. The food was great and we got to know that their restaurant is much popular for nice food.

Miinukset: It would have been great if there was a shower cubicle in the bath and coupe of arm chairs in the room, but these are just minor points when you consider the great service provided by the hotel and its staff.

Plussat: Location is beautiful and staff excellent, led by English owner, Dale. Tea/coffee making facility and also has a safe, balcony and excellent shower. Restaurant serves the best food we had in Sri Lanka. We ate dinner there twice. Extensive menu with local and western dishes.

Miinukset: No eggs for breakfast one morning as they had run out, even though only 2 rooms occupied. We were not offered a breakfast box on last morning when we had to leave for the airport at 7.30. A lot of noise (3 out of 5 nights) til 1am due to a nearby wedding.

Plussat: We have eaten at the restaurant of the Asian Jewel for some years but this is the first time we have stayed in the hotel. It delivered everything we have come to expect. Probably the best Hotel / Restaurant combo in the Hikkaduwa area. Staff are exceptional as is the overall service.

Miinukset: Nothing, our stay exceeded our expectations in pretty much every department

Plussat: We’ve been to Sri Lanka many times and stayed in many different places but this easily ranks as one of the favourites, so much so we’ve returned 3 times. Beautiful setting, excellent rooms, brilliant staff and very very tasty food.

Plussat: On arrival we received a welcome drink, by the very welcoming staff. We were taken to our room, outside and up a flight of stairs. We stayed in a room called 'Jasmine' which was lovely. Bathroom was huge, shower wonderful and lovely fluffy towels. Bed comfy with matching linens and a mosquito net. Air con good. Gorgeous flowers in the room. Room had patio doors with a balcony and outside furniture to sit and ponder over the wonderful views. We had dinner and breakfast - hot and plentiful. Out of the way location, wonderfully quiet. Wonderfully tended gardens and a lovely pool. My husband left his bumbag with passports and money it at the hotel and the kindly staff phoned our driver and we met half way so they could drop it off to us. Really went the extra mile.

Miinukset: Had to go outside to get to the room. But really that is a minor detail and unless it is pouring down doesn't matter. Liked everything else about this place.

Plussat: Quite simply this was the best hotel we stayed in on our month trip to Sri Lanka. The room was large, clean and well equipped, the bathroom had all the hot water you could wish for. The Hotel pool was perfect for a swim or just to relax around on a "day off". The restaurant served fantastic food, so good in fact we ate ever meal in it during our stay. All in all a wonderful stay, if your reading this review then just book this place, you won't regret it.

Plussat: It is amazing place, very peaceful and calm, with direct access to almost empty beach. It is not another "corporate" hotel. Due to owner and his staff, this place has a soul. If you are looking for family hotel, Pearl Island is definitely for you.

Plussat: Very nice views, staff extremely professional, very helpful, very good fresh food

Miinukset: Room should be cleaned at least at least every second day

Plussat: Location was OK. Breakfast was very good.

Miinukset: Pictures are deceitful. The bathroom didn't have a shower curtain and the sink got clogged. Bed sheets were tiny. We stayed 2 nights and didn't get bed made. Most staff members didn't speak English.

Plussat: Great Location, owner very helpful and friendly, other staff where great

Miinukset: The manager was a very bad communicator, and got us a driver that was just as bad, did not know where he was taking us

Plussat: The staff were very friendly and helpful and the location was great! Close enough to the main strip of restaurants and shops but far away enough to be quiet and the beach in front of the hotel was lovely.

Plussat: The pool was superb and location to beach, town and shops excellent. Beach was the best we’ve seen in Sri Lanka - Hikkaduwa is beautiful Fridge in room was a bonus. Breakfast was lovely - we ordered Sri Lankan breakfast, and note that if you want this you must advise staff the day before. Coffee the best we’ve had. Can recommend the fresh and light noodles and rice for dinner.

Miinukset: A couple of issues in bathroom which I’m sure will be fixed for future guests. Ground floor rooms quite exposed so had to have curtains closed which then made room dark. No kettle in room which for price was disappointing. Overall a good stay but our expectations were higher based on price.

Plussat: On the beach with a very good outdoor pool,staff we’re very helpful and polite, food was very good for the money. If you needed anything you only had to ask and they would help enjoyed our stay very much

Miinukset: Dogs can bit noisy early morning, but that seems to be the normal everywhere

Plussat: Great welcome by Peter and the rest of the staff. Room and bathroom was big and clean. Excellent location if you choose to relax and if you choose to be busy (10min walking towards bars & restaurant)

Plussat: Big clean rooms Fantastisk matras Clean and quiet and very friendly staff excellent value for money Good breakfast Walking distance to many restaurants Great quiet beach

Miinukset: They could do with an investment in some new beach furniture

Plussat: Highly recommended for couple who are looking for some alone time!

Plussat: At the end of our Sri Lanka trip we just wanted to relax some days. Therefore Suite Lanka is just right. Super friendly staff, great room amenities, a very clean and well maintained environment. That was one of the best places during our trip. everything perfect!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Breakfast is wonderful. Staff are fantastic. Location is great.

Plussat: Really nice place right at the beach! Breakfast was delicious and the view was amazing!

Miinukset: Air conditioning was really loud so we needed to turn it off for nights so we could sleep. Otherwise everything else was great!

Plussat: Me and my mom absolutely loved the hotel and it’s location. It is located right on the beach. The food was delicious. The stuff was very friendly and helpful and we got to know a lot about their culture by asking questions and being curious. Very lovely and nice hotel. Extra thank you again for the stuff for all the help! Would come back for sure:)

Plussat: Sanje was a gentleman. Great fun. The manager was welcoming and sought to our needs.

Miinukset: The pool just wasn't appealing. Also a little pricey in all honesty. Probably 25percent too pricey.

Plussat: Staff was very friendly. The hotel is very quite and comfortable in a busy town. You can enjoy a relaxing time there.

Miinukset: Wifi need to be better. Travellers need to connect to the world.

Plussat: We can't speak more highly of our stay at Hotel Suite Lanka! We had three nights here after a few weeks in India, and it was pure refreshment. The hotel is right on the beach, you walk from the restaurant on to the sand - beautiful golden sand. Our room was on the second floor, with a lovely balcony overlooking the lawn, trees slightly obscuring the ocean. Our room was really comfortable, we slept so well, it was really clean and AC worked perfectly. The staff were so helpful and kind, always greeted us and helped us in any way we needed. The food was delicious too - we had pancakes and fresh fruit two mornings, then a Sri Lankan breakfast on the third - all of them superb. Dinner was amazing too, and not too badly priced at 1400 rupees for chicken curry and rice (more than enough for one person). The beach is great, but really rough with strong current when we were there; it's a lot calmer in other times of the year we are told. Really easy to get a bus to and from Galle too, for 40 rupees a person, and the stop is about 50m down the road. About 30-40mins one-way along the coast, great scenery. Would happily return!

Miinukset: The only slight problems were wifi that dropped in and out, and rather weak shower pressure - but hardly an issue!

Plussat: Rooms very spacious clean Excellent service food was excellent

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Sijainnista rannalla.

Miinukset: Mistään, kaikki muu oli huonoa paitsi ranta. Aamupalalta tai ravintolasta tuli ruokamyrkytys. Palvelu erittäin huonoa ja tylyä.

Plussat: The view from room was awesome

Miinukset: Everything was fine

Plussat: The location and staff were great

Miinukset: The room got flooded when it was raining outside. The hotel needs to be refurbished

Plussat: The pool is quite nice. The good thing about the hotel is its location. It's right at hikkaduwa beach and just in front of where the turtles come.

Miinukset: The room was really bad. It had a great view of the pool but it was really smelly. There was water running down the walls and the hotel gives you a humidifier to avoid that happening that you are not supposed to turn off but the noise is a nightmare to sleep with. We also ordered food and it was so bad, like eating plastic.

Plussat: Nice location and clean. Very ‘white label’ though and there are better hotels in the area.

Miinukset: First of all, it isn’t the fault of the hotel but there are people that trap turtles on the beach line so that tourists can feed them, right outside the hotel. I doubt the hotel has much say about this but the could at the minimum tell the tourists not to feed and pay the people who do this. Most of the tourists came from the hotel so this hotel is at least complicit with this cruelty to turtles. Sorry, not acceptable.

Plussat: Staff and beach

Plussat: Very bad

Miinukset: Not clean

Miinukset: Respan henkilökunta joidenkin henkilöiden osalta välinpitämätöntä. Huoneessa haisi home.

Miinukset: Had to wait in the lobby on our only sunny day there to continually dispute their tries at transferring us to another hotel despite our wishes to stay with this hotel, the hotel we booked 11 days prior and called three hours before to confirm that all was ready. We called three hours in advance only because we had read reviews online that the hotel chain called Cinnamon Hotels which Chaaya Tranz Hikkaduwa is a part of, often over books their locations and tries to excitedly "upgrade" guests to a different hotel, despite their wishes. After continual disputes making our long start at the hotel extremely unpleasant, especially after a long day of travelling, we were finally given a room. After that point, we enjoyed our stay, the beautiful views, the pleasant staff, and beachside.

Plussat: Turtles on the public (hikkadiwa) beach was the only reward to stay in this sad hotel. Normal EU continental breakfast.

Miinukset: An example of how quality of service can destroy your comfort. you will not meet here a sincere smile or concern for the quality of your rest. Here in sri lanka you can find everywhere Care and sincere smile. Don't waste your time and money to stay in this hotel.

Plussat: Food n location was awsum even the staffs n rooms are so clean

Miinukset: Just the washroom , as the water comes out !! Plz do fix it

Miinukset: Wasn't happy that the AC was 1500 rupees extra a night.

Plussat: Perfect location. Beach is right near the hotel (literally 10m and absolutely not crowded). Hikkaduwa is 10 minutes walk (or 2 minutes by tuk-tuk) with all variety of restaurants. Fantastic stuff. Ileesha (Super-Ileesha;) and Ilias, thank you very much for making our vacation so memorable. They became real friends for us. I don't want to write all the details about our stay there but imagine the most open-hearted and kind people in the world, it's all about that two guys. Thank you for being our family those 2 weeks!

Miinukset: Everything was perfect.

Plussat: Very good staff, they offer great help to us.

Plussat: The staff was absolutely lovely, the room was confortable, good shower with pressure and hot water, on the quieter side of the beach

Plussat: Good breakfast. In front of the beach. Near the good bars and restaurants.

Miinukset: The room was not prepared at our arrival at 17.30h. We could not pay by card because they had their account closed.

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Right on the beach Very friendly and helpful staff Delicious breakfast, and diversified since we stayed 7 days there, the guys even made us Sri Lankan breakfast a couple of times Very good speed Wi Fi Good water pressure

Miinukset: oldish furniture, could us update

Plussat: Small nice hotel running by two very kind and nice guys who made staying very enjoyable. Breakfast was good and location just on the beach.

Plussat: The staff were so friendly and attentive. Nothing was too much trouble and the chef was fantastic, adapting all dishes to our needs and they were delicious.

Plussat: The villa is very clean, modern and spacious. The outdoor seating area is lovely with a nice private pool and the hammock was really cute. There were some arcade games, DVDs, books which was really cool to enjoy our nights. It is also beachfront, so we had direct access to the beach.

Miinukset: The location wasn't really good as we wanted to have dinner one night and we found the area around very quiet with very few dining options that weren't of high quality at all. We also had an incident with the hosts where we requested a late checkout and they said it was not possible as the villa is booked for that night; when I checked on their website and on booking, the villa was actually available and no other guests were coming. Even though, they still refused to give us a late check out! When I complained to their management I got no answer and no one seemed to care.

Plussat: The breakfast was Awesome with many varieties of delicious food you can order from the menu. (Mr. Wasana) was our Amazing CHEF. He is so creative & charming at a time. The location was extreme :) so relaxing and clean. you can have your breakfast where the pool and sea view is right front of you. Thank you Mr. Anthony (Manager), Mr. Vithana (House Keeper) and Mr. Wasana (Chef) for their Warm Welcoming and all wonderful services they have provide to Us.. me & Family were so satisfied and Happy.

Plussat: The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. They bent over backwards to accommodate our stay. Chef Wasana food was amazing and Anthony and Itana provided an excellent service. The villa itself was immaculate and provided a calm and peaceful retreat for our family. It was also situated in an ideal location with a short walk to the main surfing breaks. :)

Miinukset: There was nothing not to like about this lovely villa.

Plussat: The staff were amazing. The food was delicious ! Location beautiful! All perfect.

Plussat: Beautifully spacious and well decorated villa with lovely private garden leading straight onto a quiet bit of the beach . Very kind and discretely attentive and staff and the best food we ate in Sri Lanka .

Plussat: The location was amazing. The villa was right on the beach. The staff were great, helping out in every way and making sure all our needs were meet. The villa itself was extremely cozy with a great rustic feel. I definitely recommend this villa.

Miinukset: Nothing was wrong. Everything was spot on

Plussat: Perfect location opening to the beach. Spacious and comfortable. Ease of access to city. Food cooked was excellent for all meals. Crab cooked was extra-delicious. There are 3 amazing staffs at your service at all times. Bedrooms, living room and outdoors were kept clean at all times. Loved the overall stay and experience.

Miinukset: Nothing much to mention here. It's an expensive property. There is dim lighting in the dinner area; an optional bright light would have been appreciated. The single couches in the living area have no lean on back rest.

Plussat: View and room.

Miinukset: Great place but absolutely lacked service, we never got any daily service for our room. Had to ask for toilet paper and fresh towels...

Plussat: Just like the bed and room set-up collaboration. Hotel owner was accommodating.

Miinukset: I don’t like the food, it was out beyond my expectations. Had booked this vacation based on all reviews had read from others as great

Plussat: Stunning, clean, large room with great view. Nice kitchenette and great shower!

Plussat: Hotellihuone oli uusi, mutta kaikki vaikutti keskeneräiseltä ja lamput puuttuivat, pistorasia roikkui. Olisi toivonut, kun tulee paikalle, ettei kaikesta tervi heti sanoa.

Miinukset: Olisivat voineet varmistaa, että huone olisi kunnossa.

Plussat: The view from the room is simply stunning..... Rooms are newly built and very clean!! Food was awesome and the staff was so friendly!

Plussat: The room was very spacious and we had the best sleep we have had so far in Sri Lanka (after 22 days) because the AC was so quiet and the beds so incredibly comfy. The bathroom was very clean and the toilet wasn’t under the (warm) shower so that was nice for a change.

Miinukset: There no WiFi in our room, only downstairs.

Plussat: I stayed here in low season August when Hikka was almost empty. Yula was a great place to stay then with comfortable room with balcony overlooking the sea, good shower, friendly staff and a delicious breakfast. Would certainly stay again.

Plussat: One of the best stay at Hikkaduwa. Room was superb and very well furnitured. It was more spacious with all facilities. Ocean view from the room balcony was awesome. it was just 2minute walk to the beach. Hotel staff and the owner was so friendly. Would recommend to anyone visits Hikkaduwa.

Miinukset: Nothing at all...

Plussat: The hotel was very clean and with very comfortable rooms.. owner & the staff also very friendly and kind....they upgraded our garden view room to a sea view one... we booked our room with breakfast, & the breakfast is sooo delicious..

Plussat: The location and access to the beach. Value for money

Miinukset: Room service not available, it’s more like a service apartment than a hotel.

Plussat: Nothing much to be fair. Close proximity to beach

Miinukset: Felt like you where intruding in their private space. As soon as we walked through the gate trying to up sell. We decided to stick with the room we had. And god could you hear the road noise. Th room it’s self was ok. No kettle or toiletries. The bathroom was terrible outdated which is ok if things work and don’t fall off the wall. Breakfast no huge selection just egg and toast. No lunch or tea menu. No chairs put on the beach for you for the day. I know that they are having a huge dip in tourism at the moment and it’s probably not possible to offer. A huge selection on food. But a little effort is better than none. And not having half the family asleep in the lounge or chatting at full volume. This is not a home stay. Smile too wouldn’t go amiss. Terrible experience

Plussat: Views of sea3%

Miinukset: 3% charge for credit card payment

Plussat: The hotel is really nice as well as the pool and the localisation really next to the beach. I just think that the price is slightly too expensive.

Plussat: The pool is perfect.

Miinukset: The beach nearest the hotel isn’t the best in the area for swimming but it is only a short tuk tuk to the more popular beach at Hikkaduwa.

Plussat: We had a very restful time, the staff was always there to help you and always had a wave and a smile always,we would come back again Thank you to all of you

Plussat: The staff are very friendly and accommodating.

Miinukset: There was nothing we didnt like

Plussat: No alcohol is served. It is on the beach and has a pool but quite ugly. Wanted money on arrival. No welcome drink and not friendly as other places on arrival. Our rooms on road side so very noisy. If you walk down beach the bars on beach were great. The water is rough and strong current. If you have kids go closer to centre we’re not as rough. Must visit the tsunami museum

Miinukset: Cold feel of the hotel
