Good location
Pros:

The property was well located near shops, the beach and a short walk to Hiritikeya beach.
It was spacious and had AC, a ceiling fan and a mosquito net.

Cons:

The bathroom could have been cleaner and the mosquito net was quite dusty. Could have better curtains as there’s only a net curtain although this didn’t really bother me.

Amazing stayed
Pros:

Super nice place. The location is perfect, close to the market, the beach and just 20 min walk to Hiriketiya. The room was clean and spacious and also there's a shared kitchen to use upstairs. The host receives us with love and kindness.

Cons:

It is a little bit noisy since it's next to the road but it didn't bother us since we are heavy sleepers

Welcoming Homestay
Pros:

Good location, not far to walk to Dickwella beach, which is way more chilled than the main Hiriketiya beach, but just as nice! Even to walk to Hiriketiya beach isn’t that far. The accommodation itself is Clean, and spacious, with good AC and a fan. Mum and Dad are lovely! Very welcoming and had good sugestions for things to do.

Cons:

A bit of road noise in the morning, but it didn’t bother us so much

No hot shower, in my opinion too pricey
Pros:

Lovely family, very clean rooms, private bathroom.
WiFi worked amazingly.

Cons:

For the price I paid, I would have definitely expected a hot shower. Owner proposed me to upgrade room but only if I would extended my stay (which I wasn't interested).
Also, difficult to sleep for light sleepers, window is very close to the main road and doesn't have glasses.
One room has private bathroom, however access is via common area.

Very poor
Pros:

Location and ....the good (!) reviews

Cons:

Dirty, full of cockroaches, spiders and ants!Dirty sheets, pillows and bathroom!
The owner would lock the door at 10 pm without before informing/asking me about this!
Tricky owner, wanted me to cancel my booking.com reservation and pay him the full price!
I stayed at much better places in that area with better value for money and better hosts
