Pros:

The location of this accommodation is absolutely perfect. Located right in the restaurant area in a quiet side street. Only 3 minutes walking to the beautiful beach. Would always come back. The owner is a very friendly and helpful person too. Don’t hesitate to book this, you won’t regret it. The rooms are modern with a well working AC and modern bathroom. They all have a cute little balcony where you can dry your beach towels. It is definitely one of the best accommodations we’ve had in Sri Lanka.

Pros:

Perfectly in a calm area located and the owner is super friendly. They even helped us with finding a driver for our next destination. The location is very close to the beach and all the good restaurants, shops. It was clean and spacious.

Cons:

The interior is lacking a bit in aesthetics. It could use a nice big mirror or some paintings or some vases. Anything to create a nice atmosphere in the room would make it a top notch stay.

Excellent stay
Pros:

Perfect for what we needed - ended up extending by 3 days. Great location, nice big room with air conditioning, plus our hosts were so welcoming to us (celebrated the big man’s birthday with them). Would recommend anyone staying in hiriketya.

A good base to explore Hiriketiya.
Pros:

Great location, and beautiful gardens out front.

Cons:

It’s pretty basic as furnishings go and could do with some more ambient lighting.

Wonderful to stay here for few days
Pros:

Everything was perfect! The place was very clean and well maintained. The hosts were extremely kind and caring – when a friend of ours was sick, they even checked in to see how she was doing, which we really appreciated. We were also able to extend our stay without any problems. They also offer safari tours, which is a great additional experience. Highly recommended!

Great stay in Hiri!
Pros:

We loved staying at Hiri Fortress! The room was very spacious and clean, with A/C and fan. Bathroom was big and with hot water. The location is perfect, super easy to access everything but also far enough to have a chill vibe. They were super helpful and kind as well!

Cons:

Nothing.

Eine der besten Unterkünfte auf SriLanka!
Pros:

Sehr großes neues Zimmer mit schönem Garten und super Lage zum Strand und zu Restaurants. Der Eigentümer ist sehr zuvorkommend. Uns hat es so gut gefallen, dass wir auf dem Rückweg erneut hier übernachtet haben.

Super und empfehlenswert.
Pros:

Neues Guesthouse mit sehr bequemen Bett. Habe auf Wunsch ein flacheres Kissen bekommen und konnte spontan meinen Aufenthalt verlängern.
Lage ist super. Es ist ruhig und trotzdem ist man schnell zu Fuß am Strand oder an den beliebten Orten.
Man konnte unkompliziert über what’s App kommunizieren oder wenn Surein vor Ort war.
Manchmal hat man Glück, dass im Garten Peacocks oder auch Affen zu sehen sind :)

Cons:

Nur ein Verbesserungsvorschlag… :)
Meinen Müll aus Badezimmer und Küche konnte ich problemlos abgeben auf Nachfrage, wäre aber empfehlenswert, wenn das automatisch täglich passiert :)
