Such a lovely place with such a good vibe !! Everything was perfect, the room, the villa, the lake, boat and bike for free, the breakfast, the staff !!! I have nothing else to say than PERFECT ♥️ I highly recommend The Lake House if you want to escape the crowd of Hikkaduwa, this place is a little paradise in the middle of the jungle 🤍

Our stay at White House was absolutely amazing, the best place we stayed in Sri Lanka by a mile. The room was spotless, incredibly spacious, and comfortable. We spent five days here and genuinely didn’t want to leave. The highlight of our stay was the host, who treated us like a family and made us feel so welcome. His hospitality and a big smile were unmatched, and we are truly grateful for everything. Thank you so much for making our stay so special. We’ll definitely be back soon!

Room was clean and spacious, bed felt nice, and probably the best toilet I've used during my 12-day trip in Sri Lanka! Nice facilities. Welcome drink was tasty. Very close to the both the bus station and railway station. Would love to stay again!

I don’t know where to start. Sanithu Homestay exceeded my expectations by far. For the price I was paying I did not expect to get the room and service they provided. The room is very spacious, extremely clean, especially for Sri Lankan standards, feels cool despite the heat and only having a fan and no AC (maybe cause of the high ceilings), didn’t have any mosquitoes while we were there and unlike a lot of rooms in Sri Lanka has no moldy damp smell. The Homestay is located in a residential area, not far from the bus which takes you directly to Galle for 50LKR. Round the corner there is a beautiful Buddhist Temple and just a 10 minute walk away is the lovely Bara Beach. But what really makes this place stand out is the lovely family that run it (mother Champi, father Ajith, daughter Minu and son Sanithu). First of all their English is quite good, especially compared to most Sri Lankans. But even more so they are extremely kind and friendly. They will go above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of. They have nice suggestions of what to do in the area and help you out to figure out how to get there. On arrival Sanithu and Minu, took my daughter (22 months) and myself to the nearby beach and spent the afternoon with us. During our stay they were constantly looking out for our wellbeing and spent at lot of time entertaining my daughter. And before leaving the kids once again took us on a little outing to the temple and took out their time to give us a proper tour and explain to me more out Buddhism. And Champi will prepare any and everything you want to eat (breakfast, lunch or dinner) at a very reasonable price. We were sad to leave this lovely family. I highly recommend this place to any and everyone. Whether you’re a single traveler, couple, family or even a large group, this is your go to place.

All hostels in Hikkaduwa

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
