We enjoyed every bit of our stay in this family-led hotel! It is not far from the beach (5-7 minutes of walking). The room were very clean and there was a common kitchen where we could store some food in the fridge, make our tea or mix some smoothies. Besides this the owner always offered us some freshly mixed smoothies, tea of coffee and also homemade local food. There was also a washing machine available. The little family of this hotel was so kind and we felt so welcomed and supported. Thanks for this nice experience and holidays in Heriketiya!

This was the best place to stay in Hiri. Fantastic house. Super nice rooms. Great hosts. Paradise. Better to hire a scooter as it is a 4 min scooter ride to the centre.

I would write a poem to this place if I could! This hotel, its owners Jeremy and Julia and the team made our holiday. We planned to spend there 4 nights and go further, but everything was so good, and we decided to spend here the rest of our holiday. Everything was spotless: room, team, breakfast, swimming pool, beach, ocean — just everything. Two things that you should know. First: there are many nice restaurants around, though there is nothing on google maps. Second: you definitely have to see the shop on the second floor, because Julia creates amazing clothes. Thank you, Jeremy and Julia! We wish you and your team all the best!

This was the best hotel where we stayed in Sri Lanka. I felt like I was at home there. The owner is a super friendly person and his family as well! It was sad to leave this place. His garden is just like one big zoo! We saw there monkeys, chameleon, turtle and much more animals! We could just sit there and watch what is happening in his garden all day ☺️ The place was super clean and comfortable. The family shared a lot of knowledge about Sri Lanka and animals with us. When we arrived the owner welcomed us with an amazing tea and let us watch him when he prepared us breakfast so now I can try to make roti in Poland! Thank you one more time for you kindness 🤗🤗

This place is run by a family. They were really kind and helpful with everything. We came late for checkout but still they let us use the room and the bathroom. Really kind people. We liked everything. Very close to the sea. Walking distance from coconut hill. One of our best stays.

Very good value - A lovely homestay with a sweet family. We enjoyed playing football with Venuth in the morning :). Delicious breakfast. And a really short walk to Mirissa beach. We hope to come back soon

That was the best home stay experience in Sri Lanka. It is located a few minutes away from the beach. Place is exceptionally cosy, clean and comfortable. Room was just beautiful with nice bed, private bathroom with hot shower and all facilities you can imagine. We used the kitchen for cooking our food which was great after long weeks of traveling. Big thank you for the host family - you made our stay here simply wonderful. We recommend this place if you plan to stay in Dikwella.

They didn't offer us a room. Said that they are not willing to offer to locals. And also it is not cleaned, not suitable for anyone.

Big room and bathroom. Comfortable bed with mosquito net. Only a few minutes walk to the beach. Very friendly host family. Good breakfast with a big fruit salad. We also had a balcony/teresse. And there is also the possibility to use the laundry service from the family. They can also organize many tours like snorkeling or something for you.

Atmosphere, Vibe 👌 Its right next to the Forest Entrance. TikiriBanda is the man! He helped us in many ways to make our stay a comfortable one as well as the other staff members. Food is average can give 7/10, and bit expensive for locals. So its better to book it full or half board. Overall 7/10 for everything.

Silva was such a great host, he made sure we had everything we needed during the entire stay and even recommended a place to rent a bike nearby. The breakfast was great, and he would even wake us up in the morning when it was ready! He also let us have late check out at no extra charge. The AC was great, and had a nice warm shower. We shared a small kitchen area with another room so had fridge access which was very helpful.
