drongo place

Nothing

I arrived, nobody was there, no ones could answer on booking mesenger also

L’emplacement au cœur de la jungle est idéal car à moins de 10min de la plage !! Les petits-déjeuners sont absolument extra et le personnel adorable !

Habitación amplia con baño amplio. Desayuno rico y completo que lo sirven en la terraza. Dispone de cocina compartida. Afuera tiene aparcamiento

No disponen de AC y el ventilador no funciona bien. El camino hasta el alojamiento es un poco dificultoso

The house owner was lovely. Tranquil garden. Big breakfast with lots of fruit and different treats every day. Powerful fan and good wifi! 10/10

The street leading to the property is a bit dark at night so use a torch or your cellphone.

Een heerlijke plek in de natuur. Een fijne tuin, terras met stoelen en tafel voor je kamer. Goede Klamboe. S,avonds hoor en zie je soms apen op het dak die van de mango boom eten. Dus ramen en deuren dicht als je gaat slapen. Vogelgeluiden, 2 rustige hondjes, eekhoorns...Lekker wisselend ontbijt. Wij konden er zelfs avondeten tegen een meerprijs. Er is een gemeenschappelijk ruimte met serviesgoed waar je koffie of thee kan zetten. Wij zijn er 6 nachten gebleven.

Het ligt wat afgelegen van het centrum of stranden. Een pad door het " bos". Zaklamp is nodig als het donker is.

Nice owner, good property and garden ! The breakfast was really good 😊 I recommend at 100% !

Sweet host who cooked me a breakfast and even covered it so it wouldn’t get ruined when I slept in. Very clean, such a comfy mattress and location is private but only 10-15 minutes walk from all the tourist beaches

No complaints

I loved this place - ended up extending my stay 3 times. It’s really cozy with a beautiful garden. The hosts are amazing, super helpful and just generally really good, kind hearted people that make you feel like home. Don’t even get me started when it comes to breakfast. THE BEST. Really good nutritious meals, generous portions, served on time and also different each and every morning. I will definitely come back!

Everything 💖 it’s my second time here and genuinely the best place to stay around Hiriketiya

Nothing

The room is just perfect! Super clean and the breakfast, yuum🤤

Nothing

The location and the comfortable house Good breakfast

No A/C so really hot in the room

Super clean! Great quiet location. Delightful breakfasts every morning and an amazing host

Quiet homestay away from the busy/touristy areas around Hiri. It's right in the middle of nature and you can see monkeys, monitor lizards and many birds around the property. Breakfast is amazing and different everyday. Wifi is good but not good enough for meetings if you're working. We had to go to coworking places in town, but there's plenty to go to like Pranaya and Dots.

Only downside is there's no Aircon, but there's a fan .

The location is amazing , just a short 7min walk to the city center. The room is spacious and very clean. The breakfast was included and it was delicious. Thank you

Loved the location, breakfast, the lovely lady who helped with everything and the cleanliness and overall care that was put into the stay.

The hosts were amazing and went above and beyond to help organise some surprise birthday decorations and a cake for our friend! The breakfasts were also delicious and such good value to have included in the stay. Would 100% come back.

Lovely lady who looks after the property. She is very attentive and sweet.

Just to note it doesn’t have AC and sometimes the fan was not strong enough

I love location in the jungle, and lady witch took care of us, also breakfast was delicious 🤌🏽

Przepyszne jedzenie przygotowywane przez właścicielke, piękny ogród w którym można złapać oddech po intensywnym dniu. Bardzo cicho i spokojnie, ale wciąż w odległości spaceru do plaży. Polecam!!

Wszystko super

La señora super amable y atenta, nos preparó un muy buen desayuno local. Estamos encantados con la estancia!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Just 15 minute walk to the beach (and many bars/restaurants) and a delicious breakfast included. Set amongst some wooded areas so nice and quiet compared with those closer to the beach area.

No fault of the property or host, but there was building work going on nearby which did start early

Such a nice and clean accommodation, lovely host/family, delicious breakfast - everything was perfect.

We loved our stay at drongo place!!! Adula made everything amazing for us, super clean bedroom and bathroom, amazing breakfast, a tea to welcome us, always with a smile and really beautiful surroundings. It is only 6minutes in motorbike to hikitiya beach or 12minutes walking and you get to sleep in a quiet and peaceful place. Perfection.

Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit, die Familie hat sich bestens um uns gekümmert, war freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Frühstück war fantastisch. Die Unterkunft ist umgeben von einem schönen Garten und ist in einer ruhigen Gegend. Das Zenter von Hiriketiya ist fussläufig gut erreichbar.

We loved our stay at Drongo Place. The accommodation is about a 10 minute walk down to the main part of Hiriketiya. Being a little bit further away from the main roads and busy area made sitting outside on our little patio very peaceful and quiet. The shower also had hot water which was a nice plus! The host is extremely kind and helpful, and the Sri Lankan breakfast she made for us every morning was delicious!

The hosts were lovely, so friendly and welcoming. The room was spacious and very clean with a large, comfy bed which made for a great night sleep. The walk to hiriketiya beach is so easy and takes 20 minutes

Very peaceful and green. Anula was always helpful and welcoming.

There were quite a lot of mosquitos in the room, but under the mosquito net it was fine.

No ac but you get what you pay for so can’t complain really

Such a beautiful place and lovely garden. The room are very clean and cosy, the hosts kind and professional.

The property was nice and quiet, tucked away from the noise of the main Hiriketiya area. The breakfast was amazing, and the family was nice enough to reduce the bill for one night when they were not able to provide breakfast for us. Just a FYI there is no A/C but the booking clearly says that so was no issue for us. There is a very small common kitchenette with a kettle and shared fridge as well which was nice for keeping our drinks cold.

Unfortunately after a rainfall we did have an infestation of maggots in our room. They got all over our bags and seemed to be falling from the ceiling. Luckily there was another room free at the time and the host quickly moved us over. If that room wasnt free we likely would’ve left the accommodation.

Rustig verblijf met lieve gastvrouw, lekker ontbijt en 2 lieve hondjes

Niks alles was fijn

War alles wunderbar, sehr schöner Ort und liebevolle Eigentümer

Lovely home for 2 nights. Breakfast was delicious, the owner and her daughter were always happy to help. Lots of wildlife!

Not the owners fault but there was a few short power cuts.

Wir hatten hier einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt. Etwas abseits des ganzen Trubels und man konnte trotzdem zu Fuß in wenigen Minuten zum Strand. Es gab jeden Tag ein anderes Frühstück und die Besitzerin war sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Können wir nur empfehlen!

The room was in a quiet location with very nice garden and bit 'jungle' effect approach eg, with sound of frogs/cicadas, some presence of monkeys etc The hosts were helpful and gave a nice fruit salad, good breakfast. It was a nice walking distance from the beach.

no issues.

Super gastvrije host, fijn verblijf op een rustige plekje en toch nog op loopafstand van de restaurantjes en Hiriketiya beach!

Het was 15 minuten lopen van het centrum, wat het gemakkelijk bereikbaar maakt. De kamer zag er prima uit, en ook het ontbijt wordt netjes verzorgd.

De locatie is redelijk “afgelegen” waardoor ik niet alleen over straat wilde lopen, ook zijn er veel straathonden, maar dit is overal. De badkamer is oké, maar heeft geen warm water. Wij werden daarnaast een aantal keer wakker geklopt door de eigenaresse, voor onder andere vragen over ontbijt, de was of ons vertrek. We waren best vaak in beeld of met haar jn gesprek, ik had het fijner gevonden als ze dit dan besprak jn plaats van s’ochtends vroeg voor onze deur. Het was niet ontzettend storend, maar kwam vaker voor en het was niet nodig geweest.

We really enjoyed our stay at Drongo Place. The breakfast was very delicious and prepared with care, and the place itself is truly beautiful. The peaceful garden creates a calm and relaxing atmosphere, making this stay especially pleasant.

El lugar es super tranquilo y a la vez a unos 15 minutos caminando de la playa y de cafés y restaurantes y está muy limpio. Las camas son comodísimas y dispone de cocina compartida por si te apetece tener tu propia fruta o snacks. Tiene un lindo jardín donde relajarse, leer e incluso tender tu esterilla para hacer yoga en la pequeña terracita de tu habitación al jardín. El personal es amabilísimo, de muchísima ayuda y servicial. Todos los días servían un desayuno variado y delicioso en el maravilloso jardín. Queríamos alquilar una moto para movernos y con gusto nos lo gestionaron todo a muy buen precio. Sin duda es un lugar que recomendaría a todo el mundo que le guste la tranquilidad, el trato personal y conocer e interactuar con la gente local.

Me gustó todo

We loved our stay in this little jungle haven, away from the bustle and noise of Hiriketiya, which is an enjoyable 10-15 min walk away. There are only 4 rooms total which makes it a very peaceful and quiet stay, lots of bird noises and flowers around. The rooms are simple, comfortable and very clean. We also enjoyed the terrace and being able to read and eat outdoors, watching all sorts of animals scatter by. The home-cooked breakfast was included and so delicious! Also, the hostess Anulas' presence is truly angelic.

Nothing at all

Gute Lage, sehr freundliche Gastgeberin, gutes lokales Frühstück, nette Umgebung

A szálláshely egy nyugodt, falusi környezetben helyezkedik el, néhány perces sétára a tengerparttól. A virágos kert gyönyörűen rendben tartott. A szoba és a kert is nagyon tiszta volt. Az ágy kényelmes. A reggelik bőségesek és finomak. A vendéglátó család nagyon kedves.

A szoba mérete elég kicsi, de néhány napos tartózkodáshoz megfelelő.

Süßes Gueshouse für einen unschlagbaren Preis. Die Dame des Hauses umsorgt einen durchgehend. Ausgiebiges Frühstück inklusive.

Leider sind die Zimmer ziemlich klein und es gibt wenig Platz für Koffer etc.

We had a wonderful stay at Drongo Place. The owner is a lovely person, very welcoming, and she and her daughter also helped us when we needed a doctor. The room is very beautiful and clean. The garden is the most beautiful part! During our stay we were also able to admire an Indian Paradise Flycatcher!!! spectacular! The breakfast was delicious.

The exceptional kindness, flexibility of the family who owns the place. So clean and the garden is so peaceful !

I liked everything

Sehr sauber und nicht weit zum Strand, circa 15minuten zu Fuß. Frühstück war super lecker

-

A beautiful homestay 15 minutes away from Hiriketiya main beach. The surroundings of the place is such a calming environment that you will forget all your worries. You will find yourself chilling on the hammock lost in the sounds of birds and admiring the nature. The family was really warm with their welcome (special shoutout to the welcome juice!) and assisted us all the time. Highly recommended. Great value for money.

The place had such good vibes. Clean and calm with all the amenities and the owners were such nice happy people... helping you with everything.. Breakfast used to be so good and clean food to start the day with...lots of fruits!! We enjoyed our stay very much.

Clean, peaceful and the best breakfast !

I liked everything !

It’s impossible not to leave a 10/10. Drongo was our best stay in Sri Lanka, such a peaceful place far from the noice of the town, but very close at the same time (15 min of a pleasant walk to the main beach). Bedroom was big enough with access to a kitchenette. Breakfast provided by the host was delicious, done with local food and recipes. It’s really worth it to stay more than 3 nights.

We stayed at Drongo Place for 4 nights and loved it. The rooms and courtyard are kept very clean. The breakfasts are delicious and change daily. The rooms stay cool throughout the day and evening. There were a lot of nice little touches that we really appreciated and made the stay more special. The location is also nice and quiet with plenty of wildlife. There are mosquito nets over all of the windows so we never had bugs in our room.

Nothing.

The breakfast was really good, homemade and with lots of fresh fruits and we could choose between coffee or tea. We could also choose the time when we wanted to have it. The room was very clean and the bed was comfy. There were monkeys jumping around in the trees surrounding the property.

Loved everything about this stay. Beautiful, peaceful place, amazing and helpful hosts. They were so kind and made my stay the best. They even woke up at 5 in the morning on the day of my flight to give me some breakfast!❤️ the breakfasts were some of the best food i had in Sri Lanka. Superb value for money also. Clean and nice rooms. Everyone should go to Drongo if you are coming to Hirikiteya.

Super accueil. Chambre très spacieuse et agréable. Très beau jardin où nous prenions un petit déjeuner succulent et différent chaque jour.

Incredible host, breakfast and scenery

A little bit away from town esp if you're walking back late but this cant be helped, also the greenery makes up for it. Really recommend.

Very kind approach and the best breakfast I’ve ever had ❤️

Habitaciones cómodas y limpias en un precioso entorno y a cargo de una familia muy acogedora. Desayunos espléndidos y abundantes, distintos cada día, para conocer la gastronomía ceilandesa. Posibilidad de lavar la ropa. Se puede llegar a la playa y a los principales puntos turísticos caminando.

My friend and I spent a really nice time in this accomodation. The breakfast was delicious, as well as the kidness of the host. Thank you so much!

Die Unterkunft ist wunderschön im Wald gelegen. Es ist schön ruhig und kein Lärm der Straße zu hören. Die Zimmer waren sauber und das Personal super lieb! Am Hiriketiya Beach und bei den Restaurants ist man mit dem TukTuk in 5 Minuten. Zu Fuß ist der Weg natürlich etwas länger, wir waren aber sehr froh darüber mal etwas abgelegener vom Trubel in der Natur zu sein.

Very welcoming, friendly and helpful Family. The room is very comfortable, super clean and the area outside beautiful. Breakfast is delicious. They organized a bike for us very quick. We extended our stay here for 3 more days because we liked it so much.

The Drongo place is a very precious spot in the middle of the nature just few minutes from the Hiriketeya village. You can get very good rest and wake up with the birds singing. Is a perfect place for those who are looking for some tranquility, nourishment and that likes to enjoy the Hiriketeya beach without being in the middle of the agitation and crowds. The family is super lovely and very helpfull at any moment. They help to arrange bycicles, scooters and help in any way need. I’m very greatful for all the loving and kindness I felt in this place. I never thought about coming a second time to Sri Lanka, but the rememberance of the peace and safety of this place made it posible to consider a second experince.

Mir hat der Aufenthalt sehr gut gefallen. Super freundliche Gastgeber, leckeres Frühstück und etwas abgelegen in der Natur. Gerne wieder :)

Schöne Atmosphäre, nette Gastgeberinnen und super leckeres Frühstück. Es gab jeden Morgen etwas anderes. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist unschlagbar. Wir können die Unterkunft wärmstens empfehlen!

The owner was really nice! The breakfast was also really good!! Very nice location:)

Nothing

The location is great, away from the centre but still close enough to everything to walk. The owner was so lovely and helpful! The breakfast was great!

This was by far the best location I stayed in during my time in Sri Lanka. The location is great. Surrounded by green, it feels like a little jungle. It is super quiet, very clean, and very comfortable. There is a little kitchen with a fridge that can be used. The breakfast was diverse, and the hosting lady was INCREDIBLE friendly and super sweet. She tried to make everyone feel very comfortable and made sure the monkeys were not stealing the breakfast. The location is only 15 minutes away from Hiriketiya beach. Also not very far from the bus station to catch a bus to Matara or Galle. There are a few shops just close by and it is also easy to find restaurants after a short walk

I wish I would have had more time to stay another night or two :-)

Super clean, peaceful and relaxing

Die Gastgeberin war super süß, freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Das abwechslungsreiche Frühstück ist reichhaltig und köstlich. Zum Strand sind es nur 15 min zu Fuß. Zuerst hatten wir befürchtet, dass es ohne Klimaanlage zu warm wird aber das saubere Zimmer ist kühl geblieben und hatte einen guten Deckenventilator. Alles Top!

Exceptionnelle ! Chambre et salle de bain d'une très bonne qualité, la propreté est irréprochable. Les logements sont magnifiquement bien intégrés dans la nature, nous avons eu la visite des singes tous les jours, nous avons aussi pu observer des oiseaux et l'écureuil endémique du Sri Lanka. La nuit est très calme, réveil par le chant des oiseaux. L'hôte nous a concocté un petit déjeuner savoureux. Rapport qualité et prix imbattable, allez y les yeux fermés 👍 un grand merci pour votre accueil 👋

Rien

Very friendly owner. Nice breakfast. Amazing garden with all kinds of fruits. Clean. Good bed. Scooter Parking option (with roof). Calmly situated. Nice traditional breakfast. The rooms felt like being in a little village. Monkeys in the area: (Cheeky ones.. one tried to steal my breakfast).. smazing price quality ratio!

It is a bit far off the centre with some darker bumpy roads.. but i used a scooter to get by so for me that wasnt a problem. Google first led me the hardest way but the short cut was much easier. Only a fan.. no aircon (but i knew that beforehand.) The neighbours dogs bark sometimes to strangers so you can hear that at night sometimes further away..

The best price/value variant! Very clean rooms and territory, in a quity place among gardens close to the main dikwella beatches. Tasty and various breakfasts, charming owner. We had a beautiful time there

Optimaler Service und super freundlich 😊

Fantastic green and quiet location! Room was spacious with kitchen available to use! Easy 15 min walk to the main beach. Wonderful people, very lovely and helping. We loved it here, thanks a lot!

None

Jeden Tag anderes Frühstück draußen , Besitzer sehr freundlich Ruhig

We had a great stay! The room was really nice, everything was clean and we felt really comfortable. The breakfast was absolutely amazing, we had something different each day and we really enjoyed the outdoor space. You feel like you are in the middle of the jungle with birds, monkeys and other animals around. The owner is so sweet and kind. Highly recommended!

Highly recommended! We had an amazing stay here, the family is very friendly and helpful. Place is nice and clean, breakfast was great. Localisation is very good, there are beautiful beaches nearby
