Ceylon's House

It was great place, loved the location even though it was not seaside. The view it had, made up for it! Friendly staff and great service!

Beautiful views, beautiful rooms, everything you need

Always noise from the construction next to

The room was very cozy, with a veranda. The interior of the room was so thoughtful and soothing to be. The owner and the other employees were well-behaved and helpful.

The breakfast was below average. Only 2 toasts with 2 eggs and some salad. They only serve tea as an included breakfast. The coffee is not included. They said coffee is expensive and that's why we had to buy it separately. That disappointed us. The other places we had been to gave us coffee. Those places were much simpler in infrastructure and far from the city center. Another thing was the water. It was horribly smelly. Maybe because of the water tank or something else.

Quiet location not far from the beach with a pool. Very nice and kind people and good food.

Such a beautiful, peaceful spot away from the buzz of the town. All the staff were so lovely and welcoming and everything was possible! The room was perfect, a very nice natural light and cute balcony. Also, the grilled fish for dinner was delicious. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay in Hikkaduwa

I liked the terrace upstairs, it was a nice place to have breakfast and chill. Dilip was helpful and friendly.

The property is nice, however it is quite a long way off how it is currently marketed on Instagram / booking.com. The photos show beautiful finishing touches to rooms, white cotton sheets, lovely lampshades, beautiful parquet type flooring. In reality my room was what you’d expect from a very basic hostel (see photos) no lamps, a single polyester sheet, bright white light, strange bedding, bare walls and plain stone floor. There were many bugs in the room including ants in the bed & the bed slats broke during my stay so I slept on one half of the bed. The pool area was a little cluttered with the area behind it being mid construction so it didn’t encourage me to use it. Also yes there are surroundings of lovely green vegetation but I don’t think it can be marketed as an oasis with two buildings being constructed on either side of the property.

Very calm hotel, so relaxing and the staff is also great! Loved the breakfast too!

Kumara, the owner and his son were very nice to us. Kumara organised a wonderful lake and mangrove trip on a traditional boat with a visit to a beautiful small temple that fit my budget! His son joined us on the trip and we had a fantastic time. On top of that there were no tourists at all! I can totally recommend that excursion. In the evening we had one of the best fresh fish I ever tasted and definitely the best during our stay in Sri Lanka at their place. Many thanks to the chef!
