The bed was comfy and they offered us ice cream upon arrival.

“Comfortable, relaxed stay with great breakfast and good hospitality!”

Amazing hospitality with delicious & generous size breakfast each morning, which even varied day by day! The staff were so kind and helpful, offered us free tea/coffee/ice cream throughout the day. The bed was huge, the biggest we’ve come across in Sri Lanka and extremely comfortable. Place was clean and had some nice communal areas to relax as well as a kitchen and a fridge which came in very useful!! Location is good, a 10-15 min walk from the beach with plenty of restaurants and facilities around , just be aware it is up a hill! Thank you :)

I liked that the house was inside the nature, it had a good vibe and was really quite. The pets were really cute, especially the newborn cats. The hosts were really kind and we loved the breakfast.

The garden was very nice and the room clean.

“Great location, but very basic rooms.”

Great people, nice and quiet location, tasty breakfasts.

It was so lovely!

“A cozy little Homestay close to nature!”

Me and my friend stayed at this cozy little homestay for 4 nights and we absolutely adored it. We even extended our stay because we loved it so much. The couple running it are so nice and attentive and they looked after us really well. The place is very secluded from the busy parts of Hiriketiya, located close to the jungle and therefore we got to encounter both different kinds of monkeys, peacocks, eagles, chipmunks and lizards during our stay. A real treat for two girls that really want to experience the nature if Sri Lanka. The breakfast was super delicious and we got to use a really cool scooter that the host provided us for the days we stayed there. One night Ashi (the host) made us some bedtime tea which was a kind little surprise that we enjoyed. The AC was really good and the room was clean and had I nice interior. The bed was big and comfortable. We will definitely stay here again if we come back to Hiriketiya!

This was a nice place to stay for a week in Hiriketiya. I liked that it was out of town just a little bit, only a short 10 minute walk to town or the beach. The free breakfast was a really nice touch, and I enjoyed the sweet animals that were around. The family was always very sweet and accommodating!

“Cool stay, good value for money”

Place has a very tropical jungle vibe if you're into that. You are going to have breakfast surrounded by monkeys. Good communication from the host, flexible breakfast time. Location not too far from the beach. Overall good value for money.

“Perfect”

An incredible place and a truly unforgettable encounter. From the moment we arrived, the welcome was exceptional. The gentleman who runs this place is genuinely kind, always smiling, attentive, and incredibly caring. You immediately feel comfortable and at home. The house is very pleasant, peaceful, and perfectly maintained. You feel good there right away, and the rooms are comfortable, welcoming, and restful, making the stay truly enjoyable. The advice and help provided are always thoughtful, generous, and sincere. This is not just a place to stay, it’s a real human experience. A golden address run by an exceptional person. Highly recommended, without hesitation.

“Great budget stay, if you’re ok to walk a fair climbing distance”

A quaint homestay with wonderful staff. The garden is beautiful, and sitting in it for a brilliant breakfast was lovely.

“Beautiful accom close to the beach”

Had a LOVELY stay at this beautiful and clean accommodation. It had all of the facilities you would need and was kept to a really high standard. The host was also incredibly friendly and helpful and the free breakfast provided was always delicious. It’s also only a 10 minute walk to the beach and close to a huge range of yum dinner spots. Would highly recommend staying here!

“A great value stay with a lovely host”

What a fantastic stay at Art House Hiriketiya. Due to originally stay for 5 nights, extended to 7, extended to 10. We had a lovely time here. The location was great - everything you need in a 10/15 minute walk but it was so peaceful and quiet. The room was super comfortable and had a good mosquito net. The hospitality was second to none. Amazing breakfast everyday that did not get boring: hoppers, dhal, roti, fruits, eggs different ways, you name it. We also got different drinks/snacks on the house: papaya juice, ice cream, tea, coffee etc. We would really recommend Art House for anyone visiting Hiri looking for peace, excellent hospitality and connection with the jungle.

Great location and the family who run it are so lovely :)

“Beautiful local experience, best breakfast”

This is a very nice, natural place. In ten minutes you are at the beach. We stayed in the AC room because we cannot sleep in the heat. The AC room is everything you need. There are a few cats walking around but we dont mind that, they are cute. When your there, please give some love to the orange cat, he loves it. The breakfast is the highlight of this place, everyday something different! People are very kind and you can buy waters and store your food in the fridge.

Nice place to stay! The location is not far from the beach, restaurants etc.. but its uphill. Its runned by a kind and caring family. The room is either basic but i dont think you can ask for much more for the price you pay.

We loved art house, the bed was very comfortable and big, ac worked well and clean bathroom. It's located in quite location amongst the trees. Friendly and helpful hosts. Breakfast was traditional sri lankian and tea. We also were easily able to hire a scooter. Also has his own tuk tuk and can get a ride for good price. It's 10 mins walk from the beach, it is uphill on the way back, but that's why it's quiet here and was no problem for us. Resturants less than 5 mins walk away. Would have stayed longer!

“There is a reason why they won’t let you cancel”

They have a sweet cat that runs around the property
