Ceylon's House

Beautiful spacious terrace with nature around!

This guesthouse was really lovely to stay at. The design of the buildings are quirky & creative, it’s amazing to have a pool you can mingle with others in. The restaurant where there always seemed to be staff is on the top floor. The rooms & linen were clean, & had big towels. I think each room has a private balcony, it has nice wood furniture on it. I loved having multiple pot plants in the bathroom & balcony, & around the complex. Loved the lush gardens. I had a stomach bug & Kumara the owner let me stay 7 hours after checkout till I had to leave for the airport - very generous. Him & his staff looked after us very well, there was always someone around to help

Some bedrooms are a bit smaller to the pics. It’d be cramped if you chose a triple room & slept 3 people there

Environment

Attitude of stuff

We arrived in the dark straight from the airport and Dilip greeted us and cooked us a nice meal. The accommodation is away from the main area in Hikkaduwa and surrounded by lush paddy fields and forest which look great from the balcony or upper restaurant area. The walk to town is pleasant and takes around 25 minutes (or you can get a tuktuk on pickme app for a few hundred rupees), saw some wildlife including, squirrels, peacocks, bats and a huge monitor lizard, rooms were clean and tidy with good air conditioning. Nice swimming pool and great breakfast. Dilip, Olga and the young lads were all very polite, helpful and great hosts! Thank You.

Tucked away with a local village feel, comfortable bed, hot water, wifi , lovely outlook. Really enjoyed the breakfasts and Olga, Dilip and the boys were great to deal with.

room and little small but perfectly fine

A bit far away from beach / town but very relaxed area.

Beautiful place ! Amazing people ! Dilip is such a good person✨✨❤️ Al the time help us give me lot of information about Beautifull places and life hacks Thank you a lot

Such a wonderful place! That was really great to spend time here. During my trips I changed a lot of hotels and this is one of the best. I like atmosphere the most and wonderful people, they were very inviting, caring and give everything that I need and even more. Like coming to the old friends, even I see those people for the first time. There is possible to ask for fresh fish products to cook for the dinner and they come to the market and cook it personally for you. Also breakfast was delicious. I like how they paying attention to every details and how everything is perfect. Rooms simple but stylish and have their charm. Balcony included. Big windows. My room was on that side where sun is up and walking up with the sunrise that you can see from your bed and not need to go anywhere was absolutely wonderful. Location is not very close to the beach but this make that perfect if you want to stay away from trafic noice. It is in the middle of the jungle and just simple things like sitting near the pool and looking at the sky where bets and birds flying and hear the sound of the nature is amazing experience. I would really recommend to stay here to my friends and everyone who want to experience calm time in the jungles with great carring people arround.

Loved the location. Very wild and out the beaten path, exactly like I wanted. The view from the balcony is great and the balcony itself is really nice. The staff is really friendly and the owner even gave me some nice snacks to go with my tea. Room was comfortable as well with good AC and fan. You can walk into town which is what I did everytime. A good 25/30mn but the path is really nice and not a lot of traffic. The pool area is also nice :)

I will say that the room is a bit naked. Just curtains and a bed. On the pictures from Booking there are a few artifacts/decorations, it would make a big difference ! The bathroom door doesn't close, which wouldn't be an issue for me because I was alone. But the window from the bathroom is fully open to the outside, and not being able to close the door means any bug can get in including mosquitoes. Also would be a quick fix :)
