Surf Nest Hiriketiya

Great location only 5 minutes away from the beach and lots of restaurants and other hotels

Hot and noise. We had to had the windows open and there was a lot of noise

Location is great! Room is spacious The balcony is nice.

It can get really warm without AC at night, But they got us an xtra ventilator, thank you!

Surf Nest is a great hotel if staying by Hiriketiya Bay, it is near to all the local restaurants and cafes as well as the beach. The room was clean although basic

We found the staff to not be particularly welcoming when we arrived, no one said hello to us or acknowledged our arrival. Our room was downstairs and we were kept awake all night by people above as well as the hotel dog. The rooms downstairs also get very hot at night and there is no air con available.

The place has its charm and is super close to my most favourite beach in Sri Lanka - Hiriketiya Beach.

There are massive holes above doors and windows uncovered by any glass, which is a wonderful invittation for any kinds of insects and lizards. Of course it also makes the room noisy.

Hiriketiya was one of our favourite stops in Sri Lanka. It is so relaxing! This homestay is very close to the beautiful beach and very quiet. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. Unfortunately there was no AC so it was very very hot in our room (also because there was an opening above the door and window, so all the hot air was coming in). The staff also didn’t pay much attention to us.

Super clean rooms, very comfortable beds and perfect location. There’s also a nice vegan cafe/juice bar.

It was very little money for what you got. Very helpful staff, we could even leave our big luggage there, while we went for a few days to another location. The best thing for us was the vegan cafe right next our door 😍

There was no one cleaning our room during our stay of 3 days, but in general it was really nice!

It was in a good location close to restaurants and the beach. Not far from the main Road and bus stop so walkable. It had a vegan cafe on site. We stayed in a deluxe double room on the first floor overlooking the front. The room was large with a large comfy bed. The bathroom was ok but little or no hot or warm water and no soap or toiletries. Even for the cost it was basic. It had a strange bit added on with a sink and work surface but nothing else; no fridge or kettle. The main issue was the heat; no air con only a fan which in other places was fine but not here. It was stifling hot, it felt like you could hardly get your breath! Tbh the staff were totally disinterested and not particularly welcoming.

Too hot - needs air con No soap Blind in window needs to work as little daylight. Add at least a kettle General atmosphere

Just upstairs from a vegan café, love it!!!
