    The peaceful atmosphere was perfect and we specially enjoyed being so close to the very beautiful beaches in down south ,it really added to the experience in blue beach and Hiriketiya.

    It's a lovely family and a nice home. Everything is clean. The family gave us a warm welcome. We stayed in a small room, but it's absolutely fine. Because you can relaxe in the garden. It's perfect reachable via bike. But we also walked the way from hiriketiya.

    Absolutely loved this place. Very friendly couple and their little puppy Oli. They made us a fresh breakfast each morning - papaya, banana, pancakes, roti, tea, coffee… The homestay was very peaceful and chilled, but other travellers were also very friendly. The walk to Hiriketiya beach was around 15 minutes, so nicely set back in nature (gorg walk to the beach), but also very convenient. You could get to restaurants within 5 mins. There were sunloungers outside which was great to relax. Also lines outside to dry clothes. Would definitely come back if I were in the area, and would recommend.

    One of our favourite stays. This was a last minute booking so booked a room with no ac and with shared toilet which is fine, clean bathroom and it did eventually get cooler in the night. Owned by gorgeous couple and their little puppy we felt really cared for and looked after. Clean comfortable :)

    Everything exceeded our expectations! No negatives!

    One of the most amazing places we have been so far. Location excellent. The couple hosting us were the most hospitable and helpful. Always with a smile and advices for our trip. Big breakfast and amazing coffee made by our lady host. The room clean and big, the garden/sitting area beautiful,bathroom better than any we have seen since today, and a special surprise…they have the cutest puppy of all Sri Lanka. We recommend it highly and would for sure visit again.

    I loved staying here so much that i am extending and staying one month. I went all around hiriketiya looking for places to stay and after being here, nothing compares. The energy in this place is so nice, and the lovely couple who owns it are the nicest people you will ever meet. They are super friendly and are always making sure i am okay and helping me if i need something. Every morning a home cooked breakfast, so delicious! Everything is really clean, bed is very comfortable, water pressure in the shower is good, nice space, many places to sit inside and outside. The location is perfect, walking distance away from most places and also far enough away that you can’t hear the main road traffic. It’s surrounded by beautiful nature, and surprisingly no misquotes! The list goes on to how much I like it here:)

    Really lovely stay! The host was very kind and cooked us a delicious breakfast every morning. She even greeted us with a welcome drink which I thought was a lovely touch. The room and bathroom was very spacious and clean. It’s also in a great location being walking distance to the beach and restaurants. Would highly recommend! 😊

    The window curtains were a little see-through so they didn't offer too much privacy.

    Very comfortable stay and very friendly family. Breakfast was very nice and the room was clean. The location was a bit far from the beach it was very tranquil and we had a great sleep without noise.

    - one minor thing, they have glass door to the rooms so if someone is in the common area and the light is on, it’s not so easy to fall asleep, but that’s easily fixed with dark curtains (they have light curtains in the doors)

    - lovely family, great breakfast (everyday something different), welcome drink - wifi available, not always working but mostly yes - comfortable rooms and toilet, everything super clean - indoor and outdoor chill area

    The house was in a great location, just 8 minutes within a walking distance to the center. It was very clean and big, with comfortable beds and a nice dining room. The bathrooms were also good! The housemates were a lovely couple, that offered us traditional Sri Lankan coffee as a welcoming treat, a wonderful gesture! They also have huge speakers that the guests can use to play some music! The breakfast was really nice, different than expected!

    Nothing we cared about, but the room was on the smaller side and mosquitoes came in though the open bathroom window and therefore sometimes in the room. But there was mosquito nets attached to the beds, so there was no problem. Overall a problem in Sri Lanka & nothing to worry about.

    The beds where very comfortable & the house very cozy, we liked staying a little more outside the lively area. Only 12 minutes walking distance to Hiriketiya beach and 25 to Dickwella beach. Or you can ask the family to fix you a tuktuk for a good price. The family that owned the place was super friendly and we absolutely looooved the local breakfast served every morning. Thank you for that! We were very happy about this accommodation!!
