Bästa hotellet på Sri Lanka
Pros:

Allt! Otroligt välskött hotell! Allt är rent och fräscht, rummet, poolen och trädgården. Fantastisk frukost och underbara ägare och personal. En promenad på 10 min så är man på stranden och restauranger.

Cons:

Ingenting

Wish we had stayed longer!
Pros:

The Plantation House and its owners are absolute gems! We felt so welcome from the moment we stepped through the gates. Glenda and Peter create an atmosphere of fun and tranquility.
The pool is the perfect way to start or finish your day, and Peter’s breakfasts are truly second to none!
A great location away from all the hustle and bustle of Hikkaduwa, but just a 10 minute walk or short Tuk Tuk ride to the beach.

Cons:

We thought everything was perfect!
If you are thinking of staying in Hikkaduwa The Plantation House is the place to be!

Hidden Oasis in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
Pros:

This has to be one of the best hotels we have ever stayed at!! Peter and Glenda are the most amazing people we have met and the hospitality is second to none. The hotel staff were all amazing and catered to any of your needs, the breakfast was out of this world! Every morning would be a different menu option from Peter and his fabulous team and every day just got better and better. I would highly, highly recommend staying here if you are in Hikkaduwa or wanting to come to Sri Lanka. Thank you so much Peter and Glenda for an amazing stay and we will be back again for sure 😀

Cons:

Nothing, the stay and owners were amazing!!

A beautiful retreat with breakfast that are restaurant worthy
Pros:

A wonderful little retreat. Normally it’s fully booked but due the ‘well thought plan of The Donald to put the whole world in a new crisis’, there were a lot of cancellations. We ended up staying for four nights and it was wonderful. The breakfast really is as good as every other review is portraying, little work of arts! The pool is actually refreshing and clean. Can’t go wrong going here!

Cons:

The aircons can be a bit loud, but when you have decent earplugs it doesn’t bother

Pros:

One of the absolute highlights of our journey through Sri Lanka was staying at the Plantation House and having the privilege of meeting its remarkable owners, Peter and Glenda. From the moment we arrived, we felt less like guests and more like friends, warmly welcomed by a team whose care, professionalism, and attention to detail were evident in every interaction.

Mornings at the Plantation House were unforgettable. Peter’s breakfasts (and soft jazz) were nothing short of exceptional thoughtfully curated, beautifully presented, and among the finest meals we enjoyed anywhere in the country. They set the tone for each day and quickly became something we genuinely looked forward to.

The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and impeccably maintained, offering a perfect blend of charm and relaxation. The pool provided a tranquil retreat after busy days exploring, and the property itself felt wonderfully secure, with a dedicated guard on site who was always available to assist with anything we needed. Convenient tuk tuk parking made getting around Hikkaduwa effortless, adding another layer of ease to our stay.

The location strikes an ideal balance, close enough to easily access all the amenities and attractions of Hikkaduwa, yet tucked away just far enough to remain peaceful and private. Peter’s decades of experience in the hospitality industry shine through in every detail, making the Plantation House not just a place to stay, but a destination in its own right.

Our family fell in love with the property, the people, and Sri Lanka as a whole. We left with full hearts, lasting memories, and a strong desire to return.

Cons:

We would have liked to stay longer in Hikkaduwa and at the Plantation House.

Genialer Abschluss für einen wunderschönen Urlaub
Pros:

Schon beim Betreten des Plantation House spürt man eine tolle Atmosphäre und eine uneingeschränkte Gastfreundschaft. Peter und seine Frau sind positiv interessiert an den Gästen und das Frühstück ist phänomenal. Peter zelebriert die Speisenfolge. Lasst Euch überraschen! Strand und Restaurants ist fußläufig erreichbar alternativ mietet man ein Tuktuk.

Cons:

Uns war die Klimaanlage zu laut. - Nicht negativ gemeint, weil die Unterkunft ist eine 10 von 10.

Dejligt lille hotel, med gåafstand til Hikkaduwa centrum. Personalet er enormt hjælpsomt med alt fra transport og ture t
Pros:

Hotellet ligger dejligt (ikke inde i centrums larm, men gå afstand dertil). Ejerne (et ældre par fra England) er enormt søde og hjælpsomme.

Cons:

Værelset lugtede meget fugtigt.

Perfect
Pros:

Wow, what a lovely place. As soon as you come through the gates you enter a beautiful, tranquil, calming space, the garden, pool and surrounding area is truely lovely.

The house to is lovely, welcoming, beautifully furnished, open space down stairs.
Our room and ensuite were immaculately clean, bright, spacious, welcoming, nicely furnished. The bed was really comfortable, air conditioning and fan were great. The fridge with fresh milk is a really nice touch. There was always plenty of hot water.

The balcony is a really good size with comfortable seating.

Peter our host was a true gentleman, welcoming, friendly, chatty. He really has a zeal and zest for life and that shows through his interest in his guests and his amazing, delicious breakfasts. Wow what a culinary delight they were.

The house is a little way out of the main town, however it is walkable to the beach, restaurants and shops. And there is always a tuk tuk.

Would definitely recommend this as a place to stay and hope to come back.

Cons:

We only booked one night, wish we could have stayed longer x
