Guest Reviews
- Paula (10/5): A fantastic last two nights in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰🌸✨🌸 - A beautiful tropical paradise awaits you, lovely pool and surrounding to relax. A huge beach with giant turtle right down the end. Lots of restaurants nearby, we walked and got a tuk tuk.
- Victoria (10/5): A perfect home away from home! - This has truly been the best place we have ever stayed. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The care and attention to detail went above and beyond, making our stay so special and memorable. The breakfasts were phenomenal and something we’ll be thinking about long after we leave! There is nothing to dislike!
- Sascha (10/5): Perfekte Unterkunft - An diesem Hotel hat wir von A bis Z alles gefallen. Die Unterkunft lässt keine Wünsche offen. Zudem sind die Gastgeber sehr freundliche und aufmerksam. Die Unterkunft kann ich nur wärmstens empfehlen.
- Susanne (10/5): Bästa hotellet på Sri Lanka - 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. Ingenting
- Andrea (10/5): Die schönste Unterkunft meiner ganzen Sri Lanka Reise. - Die ganze Anlage war außergewöhnlich geschmackvoll und Peter und Glenda waren so herzlich. Man fühlte sich als wäre es ein Zuhause. Es gab nichts.
- Jake (10/5): Hidden Oasis in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 - 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 😀 Nothing, the stay and owners were amazing!!
- Wendy (10/5): Wish we had stayed longer! - 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. We thought everything was perfect!
If you are thinking of staying in Hikkaduwa The Plantation House is the place to be!
- Limme (10/5): A beautiful retreat with breakfast that are restaurant worthy - 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! The aircons can be a bit loud, but when you have decent earplugs it doesn’t bother
- Ellie (10/5): -
- Alice (10/5): -
- Flora (10/5): Amazing stay in such a quiet paradise! The best breakfast we ever had! Very close to the beach! Very easy to go around w - Such a beautiful location! Great hosts! Nothing
- Anders (10/5): -
- Robin (9/5): -
- Steven (10/5): - Glenda and Peter were very welcoming and hospitable. The room was very clean and had everything you could need . Breakfast was delicious and location was quiet but convenient. Nothing
- Tanya (10/5): -
- Mark (10/5): - 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. We would have liked to stay longer in Hikkaduwa and at the Plantation House.
- Marco (10/5): Genialer Abschluss für einen wunderschönen Urlaub - 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. Uns war die Klimaanlage zu laut. - Nicht negativ gemeint, weil die Unterkunft ist eine 10 von 10.
- Dylan (10/5): - Everything!! Amazing place to stay. One of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. Nothing at all.
- pleth (9/5): Dejligt lille hotel, med gåafstand til Hikkaduwa centrum. Personalet er enormt hjælpsomt med alt fra transport og ture t - Hotellet ligger dejligt (ikke inde i centrums larm, men gå afstand dertil). Ejerne (et ældre par fra England) er enormt søde og hjælpsomme. Værelset lugtede meget fugtigt.
- donna (10/5): Perfect - 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. We only booked one night, wish we could have stayed longer x
- Wallace (10/5): Plantation House - Peter and Glenda were incredible hosts.
We were really well looked after, local attractions were recommended, booked and transport organised.
The breakfast is amazing.
All in all a fantastic location and a wonderful experience.
- Reitberger (10/5): -
- Magda (9/5): - Delicious breakfast and friendly owners. Nice setting away from the main road but easily walkable.
- Michael (10/5): A peaceful haven. - The breakfasts were fantastic and innovative with egg dish changing daily with a choice.
Swimming pool well designed.
Peter and Glenda very personable, friendly and informative.
- Nadia (10/5): Le Paradis - Un paradis sur terre ! Le temps était suspendu, tout était parfait : chambre confortable, douche chaude et agréable, piscine très propre, endroit tres calme. Le must : un petit déjeuner comme je n'en avais jamais mangé. Merci pour ce petit bijou. N'hésitez pas. Absolument rien !
- Timo (10/5): - WOW!!! It was so freaking beautiful! A large nice garden view from the balcony and a refreshing pool. The room itself was very clean and had everything you need like a hair dryer, hooks in the bathroom, a safe, a small table…. Location was perfect for us because it was so quiet. Notice that it is not directly at the main road and beach though. In the morning we had an exceptional breakfast and even earlier than usual because we had to leave. Thank you!! It is more expensive than other options but with everything we got there it was really worth it!! The owners make you feel very welcome! -
- Schröder (10/5): - Tolle herzliche Begrüssung. Peter ist ein großartiger Gastgeber. Das Frühstück war ein Traum. Jeden Tag zauberte Peter und seine Angestellten wohl das beste Frühstück, was wir bisher in Sri Lanka hatten...5 Sterne Niveau.
Tolle Ausflugtipps. Schöne, saubere Zimmer.
Kurze Tuk Tuk Fahrt vom belebten Hikkaduwa entfernt. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt.
Vielen Dank für diese wunderschönen Tage.
- Kristy (10/5): -
- David (9/5): -
- Alexander (10/5): Perfekter Start unserer Sri Lanka Reise - Hält genau was es verspricht und man fühlt sich sehr gut aufgehoben. Die Gastgeber sind sehr herzlich und sorgen für einen super angenehmen Aufenthalt. Das Frühstück variiert jeden Morgen und schmeckt ausgezeichnet. Es gibt einen TukTuk Service, der jederzeit erreichbar ist.
- Lisa (10/5): - Direkt beim Ankommen wurden wir von Peters Frau sehr herzlich begrüßt. Die Zimmer waren sehr sauber. Beim Frühstück am nächsten Tag wurden wir von Peter empfangen. Beide super herzliche Menschen, die sich bei der Führung der Unterkunft Gedanken machen und mit Gastfreundlichkeit überzeugen! Wir würden die Unterkunft jedem empfehlen und kommen wieder! Nichts, wirklich 10/10!!
- john (9/5): - Peter is an excellent host and he and his staff made us feel immediately welcome. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. The two course breakfast with juice and a choice of coffee's was exceptional, you won't find better! Pool area is beautiful and chilled out.....I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Plantation House. Leaving.
- Paul (10/5): -
- Marcel (10/5): -
- Matthew (10/5): An Absolute Gem Not To Be Missed - This property is an absolute little gem - located just inland from the hustle and bustle of Hikkaduwa but within easy walking distance to all of the restaurants, beach etc. A very relaxed atmosphere, beautifully maintained gardens and a very clean swimming pool. Rooms are spacious with all mod cons, ie fridge, kettle etc and the bed was extremely comfortable. Peter is famous for his breakfasts (choice between Sri Lankan and “western”) and they live up to the hype. We cannot recommend Plantation House highly enough - one of our favourite stays in our two month trip of Sri Lanka. We’ll definitely be back!
- Andrew (10/5): - Breakfast was so good! The whole team are just great and make you feel right at home. Pool is great, they have a tonne of great recommendations. Lovely place!
- Frank (10/5): - Peter der Besitzer lebt für seine Gäste sehr familiär hilfsbereit und herzlich
Ein kleines feines Gästehaus mit fünf Zimmern und morgens ein fantastisches Frühstück für den Start in den Tag und einen kleinen Smalltalk mit den anderen Gästen. ( Um Erfahrung oder Ziele auszutauschen war das richtig gut )
Und immer mittendrin war Peter damit es uns gut geht.
Vielen lieben Dank noch einmal wir kommen wieder 😊🤗
- Neil (10/5): - A wonderful stay at the fantastic Plantation House.
- Thomas (10/5): - Incredible place and really amazing
- Felix (10/5): -
- Peter (10/5): Our perfect stay - We loved absolutely everything about this property! We felt so welcome and safe! Very bright spacious rooms, very clean and very comfortable. Breakfast was super delicious and different every day. Peter is a very very nice person, he was so kind to us.
It is located in a quiet place perfect for relaxing but at the same time it is not far from the beach, supermarkets and restaurants. I loved how in every room there is a brochure with a list of restaurants, supermarkets and things to do. If you need a ride, there is a Tuk Tuk driver that they would call for you and he is also a very nice guy and not overpriced. If we come to Sri Lanka again, we would definitely stay here again ❤️ thank you so much for everything! -
- Елена (10/5): - A wonderful hotel - located a bit outside of Hikkaduwa, but for us that was actually a plus. It was quiet, cozy, and peaceful, almost like spending summer at your grandmother’s countryside house. At the same time, a nice beach (with surfing available) and cafes are within walking distance, and you can easily reach other places by tuk-tuk if needed.
We were allowed to check in a few hours earlier than scheduled, which was very much appreciated.
The breakfasts were fantastic, and the host was incredibly welcoming. The room was comfortable, very clean, and had everything we needed. I would definitely come back. Nothing
- Sophie Claire (10/5): Das beste Hotel auf unserer Reise! - Das war mit Abstand die beste Unterkunft die wir während unserer dreiwöchigen Reise in SriLanka besuchen durften. Peter ist unheimlich freundlich, immer gut zu erreichen und gibt sich allergrößte Mühe einen schönen Aufenthalt zu garantieren. Das Personal ist super zuvorkommend, die Zimmer sind super sauber, das Frühstück ist umwerfend gut und Freizeitangebote wie Yoga (vor Ort) gibt es auch. Wir durften mitten in der Nacht auschecken und haben ein selbstgemachtes Frühstücks-Paket mitbekommen. Nichts
- Oliver (10/5): Peter and his staff made our stay here so enjoyable, the rooms are very spacious with good facilities and an lovely balc - This is a lovely place to stay, the balconies are very spacious and a lovely space to sit outside. The breakfast was second to none. The beach is a short walk away.
- Praveen (10/5): - Breakfast a treat! Healthy, fresh ingredients beautifully combined for a scrumptious meal. Clean, very spacious and comfortable rooms.
- Richard (10/5): Brompton tour - Would give it an. 11 if allowable. The best breakfast ever and such a chilled place 2 stay. Everything was so well maintained. The room was spacious, and the pool was gorgeous. Air conditioning, etc. all worked well. A short walk to the beach and restaurants We had to leave after a single night.
- VALERII (10/5): Это не просто отель, это место восстановления. Рай! - Это одно из наилучших мест, в которых я был. Идеально всё. Хозяин отеля с огромной любовью и трепетом относится к гостям и очень любит свою работу. Все продумано до мелочей. Самые вкусные завтраки! Тишина, уединение и покой. Сказочное место! Всё понравилось. Тут не может быть ни одного замечания.
- Selina (10/5): - We stayed three nights in Peter’s accommodation and felt very comfortable from the start. The property is beautifully located away from the hustle and bustle, surrounded by a lovely garden with a nice pool. Peter and all his staff did everything they could to make sure everyone was happy. The breakfast was also delicious.
- Heleen (10/5): Top verblijf! - Zalig ontbijt, elke ochtend iets anders! Super warm welkom en de kamer had alles wat we nodig hadden. Niets

- Perera (9/5): Superb -
- Lauren (10/5): A lovely relaxing couple of days in a great spot - The owner gave us the warmest friendly welcome despite us turning up later than expected. We loved the chilled atmosphere of the hotel & the delicious breakfasts. Nothing was too much trouble & the recommendations for food, drink & tuk tuk driver were perfect.
- Bethany (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing place! The owner Peter was so kind and helpful, the breakfast was very tasty and the location is quiet yet close to the beach and restaurants.
- Lucy (10/5): A hidden gem - highly recommend, one of the nicest places we have ever stayed. We hope to come back. - Liked: felt relaxed as soon as we walked in. Peter was so welcoming & accommodating(sadly we didn’t meet Glenda). He was the perfect host. Close enough to town but far enough away to feel total peace & quiet. Breakfast was superb.
Special mention to Dinusha Tuk Tuk driver who was never far away when we needed a ride.
Disliked the fact that we couldn’t stay longer.
- Sarka (10/5): I had an amazing stay! The location was perfect—very close to the beach and quiet. Everything was spotless and very clea -
- Marge (10/5): A great tropical oasis, friendly and lovely hosts!! - Beautiful and tasteful property, a wonderful tropical oasis! Amazing breakfasts every morning. Delicious!!! We were feeling very welcome and Glenda and Peter gave us great recommendations on restaurants and other things to do while we were there. Nothing really!
- Sue (10/5): Thank you for a fantastic stay - A beautiful property, and Peter and Glenda made us very welcome. It’s an easy walk into town. The breakfast choices were imaginitive and delicious. The restaurant recommendations were excellent and the early morning canoe trip on the lake they organised was incredibly peaceful with lots of beautiful birds.
- David (10/5): Brilliant - Loved our stay at Plantation house and really hope we can visit again. The couple running the place were absolutely brilliant. Rooms were really comfortable, with everything you need. Special shout out to Petes breakfast creations. Some of the best ive ever had anywhere.

- Jean-pierre (10/5): Perfect place - Everything was perfect and th brealfast is outstanding. Leaving.
- Stephen (10/5): Exceptional -
- Trevor (10/5): Our Favourite Place. - We have just returned from a wonderful month in Sri Lanka, staying in 3 different locations. Our last 2 weeks were spent at Plantation House and this was the highlight of our trip. We were warmly greeted by the lovely Glenda, who owns Plantation House with her charming husband Peter and immediately felt at home in this enchanting oasis of calm. The rooms are bright and stylish, and the sparkling pool and lush grounds form a tropical paradise.
Each day Peter and his staff created a different breakfast, blended fresh fruit juice combinations, followed by an amazing dish of locally sourced fruit, sometimes garnished with fresh grated coconut from the garden trees. The main course was always a different choice of both western or Sri Lankan cooked dish, but every one a delicious masterpiece.
Thank you both for making our holiday so special, and sharing your lovely home. We will certainly be joining you again!
- Elizabeth (10/5): Wow, what a wonderful place to stay - Today I leave this haven, heaven and idyll in tropical paradise, feeling so rested and relaxed. Plantation House has been so lovingly thought out, to provide all of their guests with the most tranquil place to completely wind down. Staying here has been the highlight of my trip. Glenda and Peter are such kind, talented, vibrant, welcoming hosts and the perfect partnership. I felt immediately embraced in to their stunning home and garden, with open arms and the biggest smiles. The rooms are big, bright and airy perfectly designed for relaxation, with every kind detail aimed at your comfort. After waking from a great nights sleep, I opened my door to the call of a peacock, before being serenaded by Peter with fabulous, indulgent, colourful and really tasty fusion breakfasts served on the veranda. Their Sri Lankan staff are warm, with kind smiles and despite the language barrier, a good sense of humour. The pool is a gorgeously refreshing dip, the garden bursting with colour and framed by coconut trees. Hikkaduwa main town is a flat, pleasant stroll away and a good opportunity to stretch the legs, through the heart of Sri Lankan village life. They both have such natural flair. Some of Peter's fantastic own art adorns the walls, his ambrosial food is to die for and he has great taste in music, to suit every mood. Glenda has such natural style and her warmth, humour and kindness checking in on all of us, which when flying solo, was just lovely. Peter and Glenda’s love of life and Sri Lanka, will have you hooked and definitely wanting to return. Thank you both, so much. Sound from the next room can really travel through the interconnecting doors. Guests, whose family are in Europe for example may understandably want to call them, but because of the time difference it ends up being very late Sri Lankan time. And if they are phoning via a mobile phone on speakerphone.....I was there long enough, that there was a rotation of guests next door to me and this happened with both sets of guests. I mentioned it to Glenda on the first occasion and she was really helpful and understanding and on the second occasion, I mentioned it to the guests directly myself, who immediately kindly apologised. Maybe a polite mention to all guests, about courtesy of noise after 11pm :)
- Adam (8/5): Very good - Breakfast,pool,garden,staff Noise fan and air-conditioning, bad smell in bathroom, too firm mattress and pillows. When we arrived the room was 🔥 🥵 hot. Air-conditioning was off.
- Marinus (10/5): Plantation House. Hospitality to the max! - Plantation House is one of these rare guesthouses that appeal in every way: the wonderful villa with its South African porch, the beautiful garden and the refreshing turquoise pool. Plus: the wonderful breakfasts, the one-number cell phone to call a trusted tuktuk driver and much more.
We especially want to mention the unique hospitality of owners Glenda & Peter. They feel as if you have known them for years. They fully deserve their 9.9 Booking Travellers Award!
They send us away early today to the airport with the best packed breakfast ever. Thank you!
Plantation House. One of those places you want to return to. Highly recommended! -
- Severin (10/5): Lovely relaxing stay - Truly a magical place.
It’s located bit off the mainroad, which is nice.
The location is really calm.
Peter & Glenda + the whole staff are so heartwarming.
The rooms are comfortable and very clean.
Every morning there’s different tasty breakfast.
Pool area is absolutely beautiful.
Can only recommend to stay here.
Thank you.
- Steve (10/5): Exceptional - Peter and Glenda were great hosts running a lovely guest house.
Great breakfasts with Western or Sri Lanka options.
10 minute walk to town and beach, making it the perfect location for a peaceful break. Nothing really
- Stephen (10/5): A wonderful place to stay in Hiddakuwa. - A small boutique place in a quite area close to the main beach area. Well proportioned rooms that are cleaned daily. The hotel owners Peter and Glenda are superb hosts. The breakfast is fantastic, better than a 5 star hotel.
- Dana (10/5): Best place we stayed in Sri Lanka! - This was our favorite accommodation in all of Sri Lanka! Sadly, we only stayed one night, our last night in Sri Lanka. We wished we had stayed longer! Our room was very spacious and comfortable. We arrived early in the day and enjoyed using the pool and the poolside loungers while we waited for our room to be ready. Peter and Glenda are such wonderful hosts. So kind and welcoming. And this was, by far, the best included breakfast we had at any of our accommodations. Highly recommend Plantation House.
- Suren (10/5): Exceptional -

- Dor (10/5): The hosts are so kind, will make you feel at home . - Very beautiful garden, located in the heart of hikkaduwa, but just far enough to feel alone .
- Carolyn (10/5): Perfect haven - A gorgeous spot a little back from the beach (about 1km) but walkable, and easy to get tuktuks. No frills rooms that were delightful. Super friendly hosts who are very familiar with the area and can offer advice and recommendations if needed. The most fabulous breakfast selection each morning, always with variation. Would love to return and totally recommend this spot.
