Atmosphere was very nice and there is a lot of entertainment. Room was nice and clean. Breakfast was good but not very big. We really enjoyed our time in this very beautifull and homelike place.

Worst stay experience in SL

Rephrase Except for its proximity to the beach, everything about the property was disappointing. The so-called family suite was nothing more than a converted dorm room, and they conveniently avoid showing the exterior of the room, which felt quite shady. The washroom and door latches were broken, and there was no water available for bathing. The food was also below average and lacked taste. Whenever I raised these issues with the staff, they would simply apologize without taking any action. Overall, it was the worst stay experience I had in Sri Lanka.

The place to be in Hiriketiya!

There’s nothing bad I can say about this place. It was the best stay experience in Sri Lanka. This is the place to be when you’re in Hiriketiya. It’s right on the beach, it’s got a very cool and charming staff. People here truly care about giving you the best experience. Don’t think twice, book it!

Nice place just not very social. Fine if you want to stay as a couple in a privite room.

I liked you had your only little space and the food. Showers were ok

A relaxing beachfront stay with great food and a calm atmosphere.

The location was amazing right at the beach. I loved that the dorm was set up in cubicles, which gave you your own space and privacy. There were plenty of showers and toilets, so there was never any waiting. The food was amazing, and the waiting staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. The atmosphere in the evenings was also really lovely and relaxing.

Great vibes!

As soon as we walked in I said ‘we should’ve booked more days here’. The vibes are great, location right in front of the beach. Despite targeted maybe to a younger crowd, I saw a few families with kids and loved the mix. Nice staff, very good breakfast and dinner too. Pizzas were awesome. We also loved the co-working room despite not using it - but could imagine coming back to work.
