This new hotel is very well located, was really comfortable, and is beautifully styled and finished. I would definitely stay here again when visiting Hikkaduwa.
Chambre spacieuse et design Nourriture délicieuse Personnel très arrangeant et sympa Très bon rapport qualité prix
Un séjour exceptionnel, les chambres sont magnifiques, la piscine est superbe, les petits déjeuners délicieux, à deux pas de la plage! Chathuva était aux petits soins tous les jours. Nous y sommes allés en juillet, basse saison, mais aucune pluie et surtout nous étions presque seuls partout! Dépaysant
Rien tout est parfait
Staff excellent location excellent
Nothing bad to say
All good
Location! Breakfast! Service! All maximum points!
The rooms were very modern and the whole place from the pool to the dining area was kept immaculate by the staff. The location is great for the beach and all of the good restaurants in this area. We ate somewhere different each day and never had to walk further than 10 minutes. Egg dishes in the morning were great. We'd definitely stay again if we came back here and would definitely recommend this part of town over Hikkaduwa beach area as it was significantly nicer and more relaxed. The beach here is also better and this is the better end of that beach (in our opinion at least!). Seaview room had a nice balcony for chilling out in the breeze and indulging in a bit of people/traffic watching. It's not a seafront hotel, so you can't see the beach etc, but if staying again I reckon the upgrade was worth it.
It didn't bother us as we're not light sleepers, but any hotel on this strip is going to get noise at night from the road (Sri Lankan buses love to honk at 1am) and the nearby train track. It seems the "Vibration hotel" a few doors down also lives up to its name on a Friday! It's all part of staying this close to the beach, but worth knowing if that kind of thing bothers you. We had breakfast included and whilst the egg dishes were super tasty, the Sri Lankan breakfast was really disappointing compared to our other hotels. Possibly as we were staying during the fuel crisis and it seemed like a lot of places had shortages/had been hit by far fewer tourists than normal for this time of year. Enough variety for 2-3 days, but if we stayed a similar length again (6 nights) we'd probably go pay-as-you-eat if it was cheaper and try some of the other options on that road.
Boutique style. Bathroom
Safety box very small
The hotel is in a great location. Staff were really helpful with regards to checking in, checking out and any other queries we had. We would definitely come back to Temptation when we return to Hikkaduwa.
Temptation is a bit of paradise in Hikkaduwa. Hidden gem of a building with beautiful flowers that climb the inside balconies and walls. From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed and comfortable. The ice cold fruit juice after a long flight and taxi ride was so welcomed! The room was always cleaned to a great standard and the bed was comfortable- we slept so well each night. Breakfast was delicious. Good choice and high standard. The staff are great:friendly and accommodating and work so hard at what they do. Location wise: you are in the heart of some of the best places to eat/ drink and across the road from the beach. Whilst on the A2 road, traffic noise was not an issue. The manager is great and was able to organise anything we needed. He even gave us a small gift on our departure.
Our only negative was unrelated to the hotel itself. I can’t fault that, but the neighbouring hotel ‘Vibration ‘ Friday night party was incredibly loud - music until the early hours. Noise cancelling headphones / earplugs may help? It was only an issue on that one night.

Отель великолепный. Понравился современный дизайн, чисто и ухоженно абсолютно везде. Номер красивый с террасой. На террасе есть сушилка для вещей. Два больших шкафа, удобная большая кровать с балдахином. В душе есть все необходимое: гели мыло шампуни, хороший мощный фен. В целом, постарались сделать ремонт максимально герметичным, чтобы не образовывалась плесень от влажности и не было насекомых, за это спасибо большое! Все здание отеля в деревьях и цветах, подстриженный и ухоженный газон при входе - очень красиво! Видно как персонал заботится об этом месте. Уборка в номере каждый день, если хотите, но можно и просто поменять полотенца и взять две бутылки воды. Пляжные полотенца предоставляют. Завтраки по меню - готовят разные виды яиц, авокадо тосты, гранолу с орехами и фруктами, одно блюдо на выбор, так же можно выбрать чайник чая или кофе. Всегда к завтраку подают сок из микса фруктов - очень вкусный. Капучино, американо и тд оплачивается дополнительно. До пляжа через дорогу две минуты, магазины фруктов, лавки сувениров, рестораны до всего можно дойти пешком. Мы даже ходили пешком до черепашьего пляжа, но кто не любит ходить всегда есть тук-тук.
В номере, в раме зеркала завелись термиты и они грызли потихоньку эту раму, короче сыпалось с зеркала немного. Мы закрыли на это глаза, но это для персонала.
THIS PLACE IS SO GORGEOUS AND STUNNING! SISTER AND I ENJOYED A LOT! Staff is wonderful and so ready to help! 🙏🏼🤭
Das Zimmer war toll, auf zwei Stockwerken. Nachteil war, dass Bad/WC im 1. Stock gelegen sind. Da Zimmer im 3. Stock war, hatte es tolle Aussicht bzw. Meersicht. Frühstück war gut aber nicht allzu reichlich.
Das Frühstück dürfte etwas reichhaltiger sein
Bardzo ładny hotel. Pyszne śniadania. Około dwie minuty drogi na plażę. Polecam
Super serviceminded and kind staff. Modern and clean rooms. Great pool area and tasty breakfast. Highly recommend!!
Lovely hotel in the middle of Hikkaduwa. Great facilities, great breakfast choices, really clean and comfortable and the staff were amazing. So kind and friendly. So good we went back twice.
Struttura comoda, pulita e accogliente Tutti gentili e premurosi
Colazione un po noiosa non a buffet
Very nice new big rooms - spacious, big cupboards, great bathrooms with hot showers, comfortable beds with mosquito nets. Aircon and fans. Clean cool pool. Right across road from beach and restaurants
Can be noisy from road and trains - ask for room away from road.
Один из лучших отелей в хиккадуве. Новые, чистые номера, стильный дизайн, персонал очень приветлив и всегда во всем помогут. Находится рядом с пляжем и хорошими кафе. Останавливаюсь уже второй раз, все нравится
Рядом с отелем какой-то ночной клуб для местных. Иногда очень громко включают музыку, всю ночь, спать невозможно.
Все было супер!
Everything . Great staff, peaceful place with no disturbance at all. Right on the main strip very close to restaurants and bars which made it even more convenient. Perfect for a calm and peaceful stay!
The hotel is beautifully designed, very clean and maintained. The rooms are really cozy with beautiful bathroom and lovely balcony with a view to jungle or to pool area. All Staff was excellent and very helpful and kind. Thank you for having me, will be back for sure.
Отличный отель, вкусно кормят, хорошие номера, стильный интерьер, хороший бассейн, близко к морю, внимательный персонал
This hotel is one of a kind! Beautiful vibe, very clean, comfortable beds! The pictures don't do it justice. It was the best of our trip and the owner was very kind! We will definitely return 🙏
Nicely presented property
Pretty good overall. More variety with breakfast & include fruit. Pillows also hard.
The stay here was incredible. The staff were so friendly and always tried to help, whether it was with booking tours, fixing our tyre, clean towels, more water for the room etc. Breakfast was very good, it is worth the extra payment. The pool was lovely to cool off in. The location is great. Thank you for an unforgettable stay.
Super helpful staff, super nice rooms, relaxing pool area.
Noise from the streets is to hear.
Best hotel on our two week trip. Clean, beautiful, modern, awesome room (sea view and two floors). The staff was friendly, the breakfast was delicious with choices like avocado toast or miso egg toast. The relaxing pool was perfectly placed in the shadow. Location is great with lots of nearby restaurants, kind of nice to be next to the beach instead of in it.
To know for the picky: Friday nights are loud due to next door bar/club. And the bathroom is not enclosed, just a louvered door to separate the bathroom.
Frühstück ist a la carte und sehr lecker (Auswahl an Einheimischen Gerichten (Curry etc.), Westliche Küche (Avocadotoast o.ä.) Ausstattung der Zimmer ist super
Die Lage ist super für Hikkaduwa, alles ist direkt fußläufig erreichbar. Das Hotel Vibration ist in direkter Nachbarschaft, daher kann es am Freitag (Party im Hotel Vibration) etwas lauter sein. Sonst war aber alles super, daher nur einen Punkt Abzug.
Es war ein rundum toller Aufenthalt, mit sehr gutem Frühstück, super netten Service und toller Lage. Es waren die saubersten Zimmer die wir in Sri Lanka hatten.
Väldigt fräscht hotell. Rent, modernt, ingen lukt eller mögel. Rummen, badrum, balkong super. Frukosten jättebra. Väldigt vänlig personal.
Ett litet minus är läget på "fel sida om vägen" i förhållande till stranden men oss störde det inte alls - läget är väldigt bra med tanke på strand och omkringliggande restauranger.
Отличный отель, очень чисто - персонал старается, убирает территорию каждый день, чистит бассейн. Номера новые, сделаны со вкусом, у нас был номер с видом на бассейн. Персонал приветливый, всегда поможет и подскажет. Бассейн супер, мы всегда были в нём одни, не пересекались с другими гостями вообще. По цене и качеству отель превзошел свои ожидания, нам очень понравилось отдыхать на Хиккадуве в этом отеле. Пляж рядом и много разных кафе с вкусной едой.
Из минусов отметим, что по выходным в рядом стоящем заведении поют караоке до 12 ночи, музыка играет громко. В будние дни такой проблемы нет.
Everybody was calm, nice and super kind. Room was perfect clean, comfortable, nicely designed. The staff was kindhearted and helpful. Definitely recommended!
Brilliant hotel. Beautiful room, amazing staff and great location
Was a little noisy in the evening but not too late
Breakfast.
La piscina y la decoración, es un oasis en medio del “ruido”
Nos dijeron que podríamos hacer late check out y después nos presionaron para salir en hora… nos cobraron el segundo café en el desayuno
Cleanest hotel we have ever had in Asia.
The breakfast was the one of the best we had on our whole trip - lovely bread, and highly recommend the avocado with coconut. The eating area by the pool was so tranquil and you couldn’t hear any traffic noise. The rooms were spacious & exceptionally clean with high quality mattresses and mosquito nets. The staff were so friendly and helpful, especially Chathura who was so kind and helpful.
I’m being picky here, but the pool towels were strangely not near the pool and a staff memeber always had to go and get them?
The most pleasent stay in hotel Temptation. Staff was extremely friendly and took care of me. Beautiful rooms and whole hotel was very clean. I would come again and highly recommend this place for everyone. Nice restaurants nearby and easy access to beach. Lots of love to everyone in hotel temptation.
O staff foi de uma enormes simpatia e prestabilidade. A limpeza era boa. O quarto era confortável.
Falta uma cadeira no quarto.
Geweldig hotel op een toplocatie in Hikkaduwa. Ongelofelijk lieve mensen, schoon zwembad, prachtige kamers met enorm fijne badkamer en lekker bed. Het ontbijt was het beste dat we tijdens onze reis (tot nu toe) hebben gehad. Elke ochtend weer een feestje. Het strand is op kruipafstand, alleen even de weg oversteken.
Dat is gelijk ook het enige nadeel: we hadden een klein beetje last van de drukke weg van Hikkaduwa. Maar ik zou dit hotel alsnog aan iedereen aanraden! Bedankt voor de fijne dagen!
El mejor hotel en el que hemos estado en sri lanka, cruzando la calle estas en la plays.El personal muy agradable, la habitación cómoda, ademas con mosquitera y aire acondicionado. El desayuno riquisimo, a elegir entre varios platos y con zumo y café o te. La piscina también muy agrable. Sitio de 10!
Das Personal ist super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Zudem sehr flexibel bei früheren Frühstückszeiten aufgrund von Aktivitäten. Das Hotel ist schön gestaltet und wird gut gepflegt. Die Mitarbeiter sind ständig etwas am machen. Reinigen oder Wartungen etc. Das Zimmer hat uns sehr gut gefallen und war sauber. Für diesen Preis ist es das beste Hotel welches wir in Sri Lanka hatten.
Das Wlan funktioniert teilweise super, teilweise schlecht. Dies war aber praktisch überall in Sri Lanka so.
- Big, confi and chic rooms - Beautiful pool area, perfekt to relax - Very welcoming, friendly and kind staff - Very good located

Современный стильный отель, есть все удобства. Персонал очень приветливый! Заселили нас в 4 утра, без проблем. Очень хорошее расположение, до пляжа 2 минуты. Все магазины близко, в шаговой доступности. Рекомендую! Обязательно вернемся.
Все понравилось!
Всё было хорошо.Номер ежедневно убирали,ежедневно добавляли бутылки с водой,чай,кофе,сливки ,сахар.Приветливый персонал.Разнообразие блюд по кухне,всегда свежее,готовят вкусно.Можно заказать персональные блюда.Прямо в номере был вай фай ,что явилась большим преимуществом при выборе данного отеля.Красивый вид на бассейн.Есть смотровая площадка для обзора на 360 градусов.Данный отель рекомендую,для комфортного и спокойного отдыха.
Хотелось пожелать по кухне, при оплате чека для проживающих данного отеля, не видеть дополнительной оплаты в 10% к стоимости заказа.Буквально рядом ,есть где покушать тоже самое,но без наценка.
Sehr freundliches Personal und sehr gute Lage… Wenige schritte zum Strand ! Wir kommen gerne wieder
Schone kamers, mooi ingericht, groot heerlijk bed, beste douche die ik ooit heb gehad!! Vriendelijk personeel, echt een 10/10
Nvt
Zonder uitzondering top! Heerlijke kamer, fijne locatie, super vriendelijk personeel. En zo schoon!
Helemaal niets, aan alles was gedacht.
War sehr sauber, modern, neuwertig! Personal sehr freundlich!! Innenhof mit Pool und Pflanzen sehr schön und im Trubel von draußen wie eine Oase, sehr gepflegt!
Entsprechend der Lage mit Straße vor dem Hotel und Zuglinie nicht weit hinter dem Hotel nachts eher laut, aber mit Oropax ok. Dafür nah am Strand!!
Frokosten var fantastisk, personalet var fantastisk.
Savner madrasser på solsengene
Incredibly attentive and friendly staff, super clean facilities/rooms and cracking restaurant. Perfect 10/10 stay
Nothing
Can’t fault. Perfect location in Hikkaduwa (right across the road from Salty Swarmis) and the beach. The room is beautiful and modern, has everything you need. Bed was super comfortable, and pool was bliss. The staff were so lovely and made a great coffee and breakfast. They also accommodated us for a later checkout when we had a late night flight. Would highly recommend for a stay in Hikkaduwa.
Flatter pillows. Very minor but would be great to have the option
Really nice and beautiful hotel, very calm. The hotel is located on the outskirts of Hikkaduwa, which I found ideal since it was not noisy and crowded in the neighbourhood. Walking distances to restaurants and cafes as well as the beach. Excellent staff, delicious food.
Modern, clean, 1 min from the beach. The owner and the staff were perfect!!
Very clean and beautiful rooms with super friendly Staff. Also the location was great close to the beach and main point for surfing
Breakfast is delicious and the location of the villa is perfect for going around
Nothing
Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the pleasant and positive hotel staff and immediately checked in. The hotel is small and cozy. I would like to note the cleanliness - everything is shiny, the rooms are cleaned daily. the room has a full standard set: WiFi, safe, minibar, hair dryer, minimal set of dishes. You can ask the staff for everything you need. our reservation was with breakfast, it takes a long time to cook, but it's delicious! my personal recommendation is shakshuka and avocado toast. The breakfast menu is small, and I got a little tired by the end of the trip, but it seems to me that it's like this almost everywhere. excellent location, everything is close: the beach, shops, restrooms, and a currency exchange office
I didn't notice any critical flaws. unless they cook in the kitchen for a long time, but you can beat that by ordering in advance.
Nice building with a beautiful swimming pool Rooms are nice with a beautiful balcony over the pool Very good breakfast Great WiFi Very friendly manager and staff
Our room was too small No desk or extra chair to work The street is close and you can hear it
The staff are so friendly, kind and helpful. They really made our stay. The location is very central to everything going on in Hikkaduwa. The pool is lovely and big enough to swim lengths. The room is styled and furnished to a very high standard and the bed was really comfy.
We booked this hotel 10 months in advance and all rooms were of the same room type on Booking.com. Therefore we booked a deluxe double room with balcony and breakfast included. On booking I requested a quiet room in the hotel. On arrival we were given a room on the ground floor (room 4). The ‘balcony’ looked directly onto a concrete wall. The room was very noisy as was directly next to the restaurant. Therefore we could hear all conversations in the restaurant and I am sure they could hear ours. This meant the room didn’t feel very private at all. The drains in the bathroom made a lot of noise I presume from when the upstairs rooms were having showers. The WiFi is very poor and can only be used for sending messages. We couldn’t use internet banking/weather app etc. Overall we were disappointed that despite booking so far in advance we were given a poor room. We do appreciate it was New Years Eve and the hotel was busy. The hotel staff did offer to move us the second night of our stay but given we were only staying two nights it didn’t seem worth packing all our stuff back up and moving for one night. I would avoid staying in room 3 or 4 (both on the ground floor) if you choose to book this hotel.
We had a fabulous stay at the Temptation hotel. The room was gorgeous, and so was the view, the breakfast and the pool. We were met by excellent personell who made sure our stay was great from start to finish. We highly recommend Temptation and Hikkaduwa.
Best Coffee in Hikkaduwa Super fast Internet Definitely we will visit back
Definitely I can recommend this Hotel
nothing at all
One of the Best Hotel In Sri Lanka in our tour
The cleanest place we stayed during our 2 week journey through Sri Lanka. The place is very well maintained and very friendly staff.
Rooms are a little bit noisy due to the busy road, instead of 2 of the same pillows, offer 2 different ones.
Come and see the accuracy of my Review :D
This place is absolutely fabulous! Great Hospitality, Great Food, Great accommodation
The best hotel we’ve stayed at in Sri Lanka (out of 5 hotels on our trip). Everything was outstanding. The staff and service were fantastic and friendly. Delicious and well-priced food in the restaurant. The bed was very comfortable. Will recommend this hotel to anyone in a heartbeat. Just beautiful!
It’s clean and new
Too expensive for what you get. Specially the service was bad. When we arrived no one explained anything about breakfast, and then next day we cannot order the sri lankan breakfast because you need to do it the previous day… They tried cooking something but it was definitely not enough/not the best
This hotel is excellent, which I never expected. Many hotel pictures show a more amazing beauty than it is. The real situation of Temptation is several times more than the picture. I have one thing to say, there is no such good hotel in Hikkaduwa like TEMPTATION. I would never hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone. The friendly staff are always looking out for our comfort as well as our safety. Cleanliness is paramount. Will definitely come back
Just nothing to Say
Very spacious and comfortable room. Friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast.
Wifi was kinda slow and did not work all the time.
The hotel is wonderful. The breakfast is superb and the room is meticulously clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful time!
There was a party somewhere in the surrounding which was quite loud the first night. The second night some guests were loud late into the night.
This hotel is fresh end in good condition. Quiet in the night with “garden” view. Staff was very nice and the included breakfast was also good. Location is perfect for beach life.
Rave party at a Friday night. Very loud rave music very near in the garden. Kept on until at least 02 in the morning.
Everything was exceptional! Rooms were clean and spacious, pool was a blessing and staff were really friendly and helpful.
Nothing
A high quality hotel with very beautiful and comfortable rooms.
Location is super. Food is excellent! Personal is very friendly.
I can’t tell something bad :)
Lovely staff, Clean facilities, close to the beach, would like to stay there again!
Stiff bed for my liking
Perfect location, lovely staff quiet and very clean
