Surfer Dorf mit perfekter Lage
Pros:

Wir hatten das Studio für unseren Aufenthalt in Hiriketiya gebucht und waren insgesamt sehr zufrieden.

Das Studio war schön eingerichtet, sauber und bot alles, was man für einen angenehmen Aufenthalt benötigt. Die Lage ist hervorragend und perfekt, um Hiriketiya und den Strand zu erkunden.

Während unseres Aufenthalts fanden Bauarbeiten statt, über die wir vorab nicht informiert waren.

Trotzdem möchten wir besonders das außergewöhnlich freundliche und herzliche Team hervorheben. Als wir uns aufgrund der Bauarbeiten dazu entschieden haben, eine Nacht früher abzureisen, reagierte der Besitzer unglaublich kulant und verständnisvoll. Er erstattete uns nicht nur die zusätzliche Nacht, sondern lud uns sogar noch zum Essen ein. Eine solche Gastfreundschaft erlebt man wirklich nicht oft.

Genau diese Herzlichkeit und der tolle Service haben unseren Aufenthalt geprägt. Deshalb können wir die Unterkunft trotz der kleinen Einschränkungen guten Gewissens weiterempfehlen und bedanken uns für die schöne Zeit.

Cons:

Ein kleiner Kritikpunkt war das Badezimmer: Nach dem Duschen stand leider regelmäßig Wasser im gesamten Bad, da die Dusche nicht optimal abgetrennt war.

Love the Town, loved the stay, love the location of the property.
Pros:

Amazing staff — super helpful and welcoming! The location is perfect, just a short walk from Hiri Beach and all the best cafes and party spots. They don’t have their own kitchen, but they offered us complimentary breakfast at a lovely nearby café for one day. Great experience overall!

Cons:

For one entire day there was no power in the whole town, which wasn’t the property’s fault. They do have a small generator for backup, but it kept shutting off.

So enjoyed this little oasis. What an amazing find.
Pros:

Had the most fabulous time here. Lovely little hotel right near the beach and unbelievably quiet. Beautiful decor.
Can’t wait to come back. It’s also so nice to have a full kitchen with a coffee machine at your disposal.

Cons:

It was all great except for very hard mattress in one of the rooms. I moved and mattress in new room was perfect.

Restful and calming retreat just a few minutes from the best beach in Sri Lanka.
Pros:

Loved the clean and restful aesthetic. We had a great little kitchen area and small lounge which we did not expect. Beautiful leafy views from the kitchen and monkeys frolicking.
