Perfect for us, thank you 💗
Pros:

The coziness, the simplicity, the little private garden and the quiet caring and loving ( and talented) family.

Cons:

Nothing - for me it was a simple, bit of paradise …. The breakfasts were also the best, as was curry and rice from the family restaurant and from their extended family’s restaurant next door.

Pros:

Nous avons adoré ce logement, idéalement situé à moins de 5 min du spot de surf avec un extérieur très agréable. La nourriture du restaurant est délicieuse.
Et surtout Kingsley et sa famille sont des gens d'une extrême gentillesse, nous ne pourrons jamais assez les remercier pour tout ce qu'ils ont fait pour nous suite à des blessures. Ils ont pris soin de nous comme l'aurait fait notre propre famille et ont fait tout leur possible pour nous faciliter le séjour et la convalescence. Une belle rencontre qui restera dans nos cœurs, merci infiniment ❤️

Beautiful clean sheets, towels, hot water, little fridge, access to kettle. Food was very delicious. We stayed 3 nights & every breakfast was a little different, all delicious. I especially loved the hot ginger teas to help our colds.

Cons:

Nothing to complain about.

Pros:

Stanza semplice in stile locale e accogliente,divisa in due stanzette matrimoniali con giardinetto e doccia esterna. Colazione abbondante e gustosa,il proprietario davvero disponibile. Ci saremmo volute fermare più giorni per godere della tranquillità della baia. Molto vicino alla spiaggia e ai ristorantino che costellano le viette. Consigliato

Superb
Pros:

Best breakfast we have had so far in Sri Lanka. No AC, but most nights the fan was enough. The restaurant of the owner is very good and popular as well. Would recommend this stay to everyone!

What a great surprise!
Pros:

I stayed at Kingsley only for one night, but honestly, it was such a great experience ! The cleanest guesthouse I stayed at so far! Plus very comfortable bed, clean towels (like clean for real!), spacious room and hot shower! Very yummy breakfast and super kind staff. Also at their restaurant next door everyone is adorable and their food is to die for!
I recommend 10/10!
Thank you so much. See you next week(yes, I booked again at Kingsley cause I'm currently in Mirissa but don't like it)

Pros:

What a lovely place to stay very close to Hiriketiya Beach. A very friendly family that goes the extra mile to ensure that your stay is perfect (especially food-wise). The room is spacious for two. Perfect size bathroom with warm water.
When arriving, you are welcomed with a free lunch, and also the included breakfast is more than enough. People were even queuing for the restaurant.

Cons:

Sharing the room with four people might be a bit tight. There was no AC but two fans do the trick.

Fantastic hosts, close to the beach, very clean
Pros:

Fantastic service, delocious breakfast, very clean, 3 min to the beach, all what you need in the room. Nice area outside the apartment.

Cons:

The only improvement could be the area outside the apartment, it could be decorated a bit nicer. A hammock or some nice Colours would make this place 10/10. But its a minor issue, rather recommendation.

A Gem of Hiriketiya
Pros:

We have been travelling for a year now and Kingsleys Place was truly one of our very favourites. The whole family was so kind and welcoming. The breakfast included was INCREDIBLE and truly an experience in itself, we began to wake up each morning giddy for what the breakfast would bring.

The room was large with two separate large bed spaces which was great lounging and creating space for our luggage. Even though there was no AC the fans did the trick and never got too hot in the evenings to notice. The accommodation is also perfectly located just a 2 minute walk from the beach.

Kingsleys place is truly a gem and we wish more stays around the world could be like his.

Cons:

None

Pros:

Staying at Kingsley Place was the best choice we could have made, we have been welcomed and cared for just as family. We genuinely feel like we have a new family here in Sri Lanka even just after such a short period of time, and we will come back again and again, no doubts.
Kingsley and his family are so kind, caring and genuinely want the best for you, accomodating any request even if they have to go out of their own way for it, always with a smile on their face…

The breakfast is just amazing, and all the food from their restaurant as well, cooked with love!

Also the location is ideal, can walk everywhere in Hiriketiya no need bike if you don’t feel like renting one. So cose to the beach where all the shops to rent surf boards are, great variety a few nice shortboards, amazing!

So do not hesitate to book Kingsley Place, you won’t regret it. 🙏

Thank you again for receiving us so well and making us feel like a part of your beautiful family, such a precious feeling when travelling and living far from home. See you next time, all the best!
