Pros:

The room was clean and tidy. The location is perfect. The room is actually better than shown in the pictures. The Owner is helpful. The best part was the ocean view right outside our room. Good value for money.

Pros:

Das Zimmer war sehr sauber und ordentlich. Das Essen war ausgezeichnet. Der Besitzer und seine Sohn , und das Personal waren immer sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Der Service war super. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt dort sogar verlängert weil es uns so gut gefallen hat. Der Besitzer hat uns sogar bei unserer Planung für die Weiterreise auf Sri Lanka geholfen und uns gute Tipps gegeben. Und er hat uns sogar selbst mit seinem TUKTUK zum Busbahnhof gefahren ,dass wir problemlos mit dem Bus weiter reisen konnten. Vielen Dank für diesen wunderschönen Aufenthalt und für diesen super Service. Sehr empfehlenswert. Wir kommen vielleicht sogar Ende September noch einmal um dort ein paar Tage verbringen.

Wonderful stay! Balcony was perfect!
Pros:

Great room facing the ocean, perfect location in town but not in the middle of town so its quiet enough. Lovely walks along the beach.

Cons:

When requesting to pay by card the owner looked very disgruntled to do this, the ATM was quite a walk away at 11pm.

Райское место)
Pros:

Превосходно! Мы взяли с видом на океан, проводили каждую свободную минуту на балконе, невероятная сила и запах океана, (дома сплю в берушах) здесь же с открытым окном. Фотографии не соответствуют, все в разы лучше, до последнего спорили с мужем, в выборе отеля, ориентировалась на отзывы. Как зашла в номер не поверила, «это что, наш номер, да ладно» вышла на балкон и поняла, это 100 %попадание, лучше чем ожидали!
Хозяева, очень внимательные люди все подскажут, здесь же на берегу их кафе, очень вкусно готовят, порции большие, а главное океан в пяти шагах. До пляжа с черепахами 400 метров по берегу. Я даже не буду рассматривать другие варианты, а вернусь именно сюда)

Fantastic place! Highly recommended. Great value, lovely vibe
Pros:

Fantastic. Includes a well priced, popular cafe on the beachfront with great swimming and good vibes. Room had big comfy beds with mosquito nets and a really nice feel. Good location and family run with good attention to detail (though presented as really laid back). One of my favourite places during our 2 month Asia trip.. it’s good!

Cons:

Internet didn’t work in our room but was fine downstairs at the cafe. The rooms toward the beachfront (above the cafe) are probably fine. We were at the other end toward the street.
Note that this hotel is in the “noisy” area of hikkiduwa so you may hear the bar a few doors up throughout the night. We didn’t care - it wasn’t overly intrusive, just background noise :)

Very good
Pros:

The location right next to the beach. In our seaview room we could hear and see the waves from the bed!

The food in the restaurant was also great.

Pleasant stay at beachfront
Pros:

Situated right at the beach. Nice staff and owner. Good food - many westerners came there to eat.

Cons:

Room description at booking.com said balcony w seaview. There was an shared space with some seaview.
(There are 95% russians at Hikkadua beach - has nothing to do with the guest house)

Amazing place
Pros:

The room was fantastic, offering everything we could ask for. It was clean and comfortable, but the highlight was the beautiful sea view right from our window. Waking up to the sound of the waves and seeing the horizon made our stay truly memorable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway!

Cons:

Everything was perfect
