Karawwa

Location was perfect surrounded by nature in a very quiet and relaxing environment. The owner Roshan was very hospitable and always helpful with any requests. The bed was very comfortable and kitchen area had a large fridge with plates, glasses and cutlery supplied. There is full Cable, TV and Streaming Services available. The Bathroom is large with a huge shower area and the hot water was always working. The location is a couple of kilometres from the main road whereby you can walk to the main areas of town or beach or the host will order a Tut Tut or Taxi which will be there in a few minutes. A new Restaurant and Pool will be opening very soon at the back of the Property so everything is there that a 5 Star has.

A little bit away from the main street and beach but the feel is you your are completely isolated but so close to everything but a Tut Tut will be there in a few minutes.

The location is stunning. Really remote and beautiful.

It lacks some extra facilities - but a pool is being built and that will make it perfect!

Sehr freundlicher Gastgeber, sehr schön eingerichtet.

Ruhig gelegen an der Lagune abseits vom Stadtlärm. Viel Natur, freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Gute Ausstattung der Zimmer, Dusche mit viel Druck, heisses Wasser, grosses Balkon.

Könnte ein wenig sauberer sein. Während unseres Aufenthaltes gab es relativ viel Party Lärm von den Nachbarn Hotels/Häuser. Teilweise schwierig einen tuktuk über pickme aufgrund der Lage zu bekommen.

It was a pleasure to be a guest of this place. The owner took care of me as a guest and provided excellent service, including delivery of food from the grocery store. Very clean room and bathroom. Good chiller and very green outside. The room with bathroom has a lot of natural light and windows. Very cozy place. Thank you Roshitha.

This is the true meaning of paradise! Do not hesitate to book this accommodation. The view took my breath away and it will be hard to beat this as an experience! The host was amazing wonderful man who cared deeply for the hotel and his guests experience. He arranged onward travel for us with a charming guide. 5* amazing

Nothing

The best hotel I have stayed in. The location is quiet and calm🏞️🌅. If you want to relax in Hikkaduwa, you should try this . The staff is also very friendly and supportive.

It’s the excellent place! So comfortable, and beautiful. And view is amazing!

The Villa was very spacious, I had gotten a great deal on booking.com. I think I paid less somewhere like $90 at the time. That was really good value for money for the place. I want to repeat that the place was very spacious and also clean. The staff was also very helpful and you get sort out a lake view from the villa as well.

The only issue was that location it is in is not that great in terms like, if you are a couple you can't walk outside and the city is a bit far away. So if you are going to Hikka, you definitely need a ride back and you will not be able to walk back or anything like that.

The location is beautiful and the view from the balcony is lovely overlooking the canopy. Loved sitting here in the mornings and evenings drinking coffee and watching the birds. Roshitha and his team are so accommodating, picked us up from the station when we arrived and helped us get our laundry done.

Honestly cannot fault anything

Absolutely everything! Roshitha and his family have created a wonderful venue that is integrated with the local ecosystem with a focua on engagement with the wildlife and a detox. The colour of the buildings has been picked from the trees in the area. The facilities are superb. Sonos speakers, extra large beds, high quality bedding and good showers. They have even designed their own reclining chairs to ensure we had the bed experience.

Nothing! It was wonderful. I am excited to see how he continues this project and his conversation with the local environment.

This is a paradise on Earth! From the moment the property gates opened, you are in the most beautiful scenery of green plants and trees. Just a short stroll and you are at the 2 properties. I was very lucky as given an upgrade to the top floor overlooking the tree tops towards the lake. It was breathtakingly beautiful. The room was very spacious with a kitchenette, fully equipped if I needed to cook or store food in the fridge or freezer. There was a TV but who needs it, hey? The WiFi helped though to keep in touch with family and friends. The bathroom was large and again with everything you can possibly need. I watched the wilderness from the window as I brushed my teeth. But THE BEST view was certainly from the balcony at sunset and again at sunrise where I recorded the beautiful sounds of nature. The owner was very kind and thoughtful, unfortunately I could not stay more than just one night this time but I wil be back for sure. If you want a peaceful, relaxing and a tranquil stay, this is your place. Even as I laid on my bed in the morning, I looked through the glass door at the views. Just what I needed after a busy tour. Thank you so much for this gem of properties.

Leaving to fly home

This was the most scenic location to stay in. The room was spectacular! It was very modern and had great interior. The owner was super friendly and offered his assistance if ever we needed it (for example it was raining on evening and we were offered an umbrella immediately!). This place was absolutely beautiful and in a brilliant location (10 minute tuktuk ride to the beach and restaurants).

Ants and a few cobwebs, however, we expected this as the property is surrounded by nature.

Breathtaking view, Alexa, Netflix

very nice boss, always willing to help, change our room from 1st floor to the 3Rd floors, so we could enjoy the lake view that this perfect

none

The most important advantage of this place is it's location - in the middle of nowhere, no tourists, no noise, only jungle. And, as it was written many times before it the other feedbacks - the host, mr. Roshitha. He provides full concierge-service by himself free of charge: always online on Whatsapp, always ready to help.

Keep in mind that there is no any breakfast or bar at the villa (and any reception desk at all). But the rooms have a full kitchen and everything for cooking, and there is a good restaurant within a 15 minute walk.

Being slightly further from the main town of Hikkaduwa meant that it was nice and quiet and only a ten minute Tuktuk ride into town. Roshita and his wife were lovely! The setting is beautiful, with lush vegetation surrounding the building, makes you feel isolated (in a good way). There were birds and bats using nearby trees which were awesome to see. The bedding was so soft and comfortable and the shower big with hot water.

Nothing really, If Roshita is able to expand to include food then that would be great, but there is a lovely kitchen, so you can bring food back and reheat or cook if necessary.

Lovely modern place to stay. I found the wifi excellent, and the showers hot, with high pressure. As others have noted it's quite far away from hikkaduwa. You can get a tuktuk on pick me, but it might take half an hour for one. Only the top floor rooms have a view of the lake, but you get to sleep with the sounds of nature rather than loud parties. It's easy to communicate with the owner on WhatsApp, so if you need anything they will send someone to help in half an hour. You get two bottles of water each day, and they clean the rooms daily.

Not a problem for me, but note there aren't shops or restaurants nearby.

Very beautiful villa. Owner is awesome bloke, very helpful and informative. Hot water and comfy bed. Would definitely recommend.

Hard to locate the entrance - google maps dot is next door. Look for the sign on the gate. Need a scooter or tuk tuk to get to town.

Absolutely stunning property in the middle of lush greenery with views of a lake that resembled a painting. Very high quality fixtures and even had a Sonos speaker! Very clean, super comfortable bed and kitchenette and fridge came in handy. We were welcomed by the owner of the property, Mr Roshitha. An absolute gentleman. Definitely going to be back here next month!

Amazing place. Modern and clean apartment in the heart of a jungle. A view of the lake in the distance and the sound of nature. I recommend it highly. Wonderful host too.

There is nothing to dislike

This small hotel consists of 6 spacious rooms with large balcony - 1 room per floor. It’s new, clean with modern design and furniture, has everything for comfortable stay and for cooking by yourself. Location is very quiet, you can enjoy the observation of wild life (squirrels, bats, huge lizards) from your balcony.

Wifi was very slow and besides the mobile internet also didn’t work in this area. So keep this in mind if you need to work. This place quite is far away from the cafes and the beach - 10 minutes by car or tuktuk. But that’s a fair compensation for the quietness. The villa is located on the side of the lake and surrounded by swamp. After rains there is evaporation from this swamp.

Big room with a patio as we were on the ground floor. I think the upper rooms with balconies and a view would be even better. Upmarket, feels new with fantastic bathroom. Self catering. Away from the noise of Hikkaduwa. Right in the foliage.

No catering on site and a 10 minute tuk tuk to town. Works for self catering though...microwave and stove in a kitchenette. Also no safe. Warm water for the shower, not hot.

A beautiful and cozy place in the middle of the jungle, 2 km from the beach. Very friendly staff and best place for leisure in SriLanka

Karawwa Luxury Villas is beautiful. The rooms are very stylish spacious and clean. The setting is very peaceful and quiet. You can spend ages on the terrace outside your room just listening to nature. The owner and staff couldn't be any nicer.

There wasn't really anything I didn't like. I would say that it is a little bit away from town but I had a scooter and it was only 6 or 7 minutes ride.

This place is absolutely fabulous! The green landscapes, the lake view, the infrastructure and equipment was perfect, and the bed was the best bed we have had in this trip. The owner and staff were so helpful, attentive and kind. We fully recommend this place!

Loved how it was remote, very quiet and peaceful. The patio was lovely with amazing views of the lake.

Amazing room, location, staff and facilities. I’d even left some clothes behind which the owner called to say he would store for me, which was really nice. The room was huge and immaculate, with a lovely bathroom and two balconies!

Nothing

it was a little remote so beautiful and quiet, but just a shirt Baja ride into hectic Hikkaduwa

we enjoyed it all

We stayed 3 weeks in Hikkaduwa in this beautiful hotel :) it was a very nice room surrounded by nature, with a large balcony and a view of the lake. The room was very modern with a Smarttv, Alexa, a well-equipped kitchen with 2 ring induction cooker, microwave, kettle, fridge, crockery and cutlery, pans and pots.the bed was a good size and very comfortable, as were the chairs on the terrace. the bathroom was very spacious and has some vanity units under the sink and a closet. The rain shower is already large and with a view of nature. The hotelier Roshita is very friendly and helpful, we felt very welcome and it was like "coming home" from the first moment. We can highly recommend the accommodation and look forward to staying there again when we fly to Sri Lanka.

-everything was great for us-

stunning view from the window! silence and only the sounds of the jungle, frogs, birds, insects sing, this is a wonderful place! very comfortable bed and clean room.

Very nice Hotel. The rooms are very comfortable, cousy and clean. The staff was very courteous. The Manager drove us to the beach for free. One of the best Hotel on our jurney threw Sr Lanka Thank you

The owner Rojeeta was extremely helpful and friendly. The room was spotless with a large comfortable bed and the environment was really peaceful allowing for a really good nights sleep. The bathroom was large with a lovely power shower. All in all, a lovely stay. I would definitely recommend staying here if you are in Hikkaduwa.

Roshitha is a perfect host that can help you with everything, amazing stay, everyday room clean, good view on sunset or sunrise near the lake

nice not sound

no food facilities and no pool

A complete and utter gem! The owner Roshitha has designed and created these breathtaking, idillic condos over looking Hikkaduwa lake. Upon arrival we parked our hired tuk tuk in the grounds safe secure car park and taken down through the jungle via a gorgeously designed angled wooden bath, handed ice cold coconuts and shown to our condo. The accommodation was very clean, modern, the king size bed was of European 5 start hotel standard very hard to get out in the morning as was so comfortable (which is very hard to find in Sri Lanka) the shower was hot and the pressure very strong (again very hard to find in Sri lanka.) The condo had great Wi-Fi, Alexa, Sonos speaker, air conditioning and all 5 star mod cons/ extras. Superbly tranquil location, stunning views, surround by un touched nature. Close to the town where you can find so fabulous restaurants, but far enough out to hear nothing but the wild life and truly relax. The building design is of impeccable standard, sunrises whilst sipping your morning coffee in bed gazing across the lake, shaded comfortable day loungers upon the balcony to hide out from the mid day sun. We feel that the nightly price is extremely reasonable for the of quality stay, we shall most certainly be back, for a lot longer next time. Many thanks The Riley’s London, UK.

Every detail has been thought about, not one thing to complain about would highly recommend.

The villa is great! The host is a wonderful person who helps you all day. The view, the area, the atmosphere relaxed you and make you feel excited. The room is stylish and very large. You have a wonderful terrace. Everything is clean. Hope to visit that place again.

The nature was beautiful. You can relax here perfectly and the owner is so kind and caring!

Villas are faced to the hikkaduwa lake and one side of the room is glass. So, view from the room is amazing. The room is spacious, modern and equipped with a small pantry, microwave oven, refrigerator and kitchen utensils. Specially, property owner Mr Roshitha is friendly and helpful. Overall villa is totally worth for money

Villa is surrounded by biutuful nature. It's basically inside of the jungle with a gougeus view on the lake. Super chillout place to be and relax. Beds and all seats ( esspessially outside) are super comfortable, all amenities are very high class. It's really luxousiuous expirience that includes even smart speakers with Alexa:)

Very quiet accommodation, beautiful view on the lake!
