A gem in Hiri
Pros:

Fantastic location, right on the beach front with parking in front. The staff were welcoming and friendly. Rooms were spacious, modern and spotless. Upstairs is a balcony area where we enjoyed a drink overlooking a view of the bay lit up at night. Shops, ATM and restaurants of the bay were all within walking distance. This place is an absolute gem, I will be recommending to my friends and family.

Pros:

The accommodation was right on the beach and was in a great location. The staff were also really friendly and responsive, overall a great place to stay!

Cons:

The air conditioner is very loud. I’m not sure whether it was the A/C, or via the penetration in the wall as it sounded like the wind. The door was also hard to open/close when unlocked/locked.

Just okay
Pros:

Great location right on the beach however we learnt that Hiriketiya is very small beach so you can stay anywhere!

Cons:

They called themselves “surf villa” however no spot for your surf boards? Or advice on surfing at all
Staff were okay, however they would leave the door wide open at night felt very unsafe and dogs will wonder in that were dirty
The facilities isn’t great for what they charge per night
Very slack with providing water
Not horrible but I wouldn’t stay here again.

Een 10 met potentie!
Pros:

Een 10 met potentie om het nog beter te doen! De kamers zijn ruim, schoon en van alle gemakken voorzien. Er is een föhn, koelkast, flesjes water, koffie en thee en handdoeken voor zowel de douch als het strand. De badkamers zijn “open” en dit geeft een grappig effect. Uiteraard wel alle privacy!

De airco (met nachtstand) zorgt dat je ‘s nachts goed kunt slapen in de heerlijke bedden. De ligging aan het strand (vanuit de voortuin steek je de weg over van 2 meter breed) is perfect. Of je wilt surfen of wilt liggen op het strand, het an allemaal. De weg is overigens heel rustig. In de omgeving van het hotel zijn leuke restaurantjes, barretjes en als je van yoga houdt kun je om de hoek terecht. Kortom een perfect verblijf (we boekt een nacht extra) in Hiriketiya!

Enige kleine minpuntje ia dat het hotel nog niet helemaal af is. Hier zit dus de potentie. Wij komen graag terug over een jaartje om te zien hoe het is geworden.

Het hotel wordt gerund door een oudere dame.

Good location but not good value for money
Pros:

Amazing location, pretty clean at beginning.

Cons:

It seemed like another place trying to take advantage of tourism as much as possible with lower than expected value for money. Make sure to bring enough rupees to pay whole stay (does not mention this before booking and they do not accept card or USD).

Started construction/hammering on ground floor at 9 am when all guests were still in room. Not sure why this couldn’t have waited til midday or afternoon if guests are checked in. Left feeling exhausted from both outside noise (loud music starting at 7 am from nearby cafes) and inside hammering.

We had leaking water near our shower even before we took a shower. Continued to leak whole time, leaving pool of water in bathroom. They do not clean rooms during stay which can be rough when going to the beach daily.

Did not provide water except at beginning of stay.

Do not have 24/7 support but are nice about answering questions if they’re not otherwise busy.

Nydelig overnattingssted bare to skritt unna stranda og restaurantene. 10/10 kan anbefale
Pros:

Overnattingsstedet ligger kun to skritt unna en helt nydelig strand. Stedet er også nært de fleste restauranter, butikker osv.
Familien som er der er kjempesnille og hjelpsomme, og tilbydde oss klesvask til en kjempebillig pris. I tillegg til at det ble raskt ferdig.
Anbefaler på det sterkeste, du får en kjempebra plass for en kjempebra pris!!

Cons:

Alt var bra!!
Siden de ikke har kjøleskap på rommet så hadde de et stort ute i «gangen» vi kunne ha vann osv i, helt fantastisk🤩
