Чудесный мини отель с потрясающими номерами и классным бассейном. Очень чисто, современно, замечательные хозяева.Утром предлагают завтраки отличные. Мы остались с ребенком очень довольны. По возможности вернемся ещё.
Минусов нет
Close to beach and restaurants, clean ,and friendly owners.
De ruime en nette kamers
Het ontbijt
Alles super! Das Zimmer war relativ klein aber es hat gereicht.
Alles gut!
Sehr sauberes Zimmer, zuvorkommender Host.
Es fahren viele Züge, zum Teil auch spät abends. Außerdem liegt es in einer Gegend, bei der man nachts eher mit einem unguten Gefühl vor die Tür geht. Man sollte sich dann lieber mit dem TukTuk fahren lassen.
Fantastisk værtspar som har skabt et virkelig skønt sted! God ren pool, til den lille side, men de har brugt den plads de har til rådighed. Virkelig lækker morgenmad. Ligger en kort gåtur fra stranden.
Eneste minus er toget, der kører forbi meget tæt på og larmer en del.
Прекрасное расположение: 5 минут от местного автовокзала, 5 минут от самого удобного, на мой взгляд, пляжа без волн, 10 минут до пляжа с черепашками. Отличный, чистый, современный номер, удобные кровати, белоснежное белье, хороший кондиционер. Вся необходимая инфраструктура: большой общий холодильник, но номеров мало, всем хватает места; очень чистый бассейн, поскольку постояльцев мало, нет толкучки, всем хватает времени и места поплавать и полежать. Вкусные завтраки по запросу. Самое главное - прекрасные хозяева, которые всегда рады помочь. Полное ощущение, что приехал в гости к друзьям. Большое спасибо им за прекрасный отдых!
Такого нет, все отлично
Ontzettend goeie prijs kwaliteit! Heerlijk zwembad, prachtige kamer en super lekker ontbijt
Everything is great, the room, the pool, the location close to the beach but away from the noisy main road. Breakfast is fantastic, with fresh squeezed juice included, but the best is the couple who owe the place: very friendly, good advises and perfect hosts.The place looks exactly like the pictures: well taken care of and clean
Everything was great

Det var avlägset och lugnt men samtidigt nära nice cafeer, gym och stranden samt main gatan! Helt perfekt
Very friendly people and comfortable accommodation. The location is fine too, close to the town but away from the main road.
Super small hotel that has recently been finished. Large rooms really nicely done as well as spaces to relax and a small swimming pool. Short walk or tuktuk drive from the train station. 5 mins to the beach. Lovely owners extremely friendly and helpful. I was even able to do a cooking lesson with Piumi which was fabulous. 2 hours drive from the airport that owners can also organise.
This place is truly a hidden gem. We liked it so much. The hosts (husband and wife) were incredibly friendly and caring. Every morning, she prepared breakfast with freshly squeezed fruit juice, and the selection changed daily — such a lovely touch. Our room had one double bed and a bunk bed, and it was spacious, very clean, and full of natural light, which made it even more comfortable. The pool isn’t large, but it’s clean and perfect for a quick dip after a long walk. We were very happy to stay in this family-run place and really appreciated the effort they put into making guests feel welcome. We also witnessed other guests speaking to the hosts in an aggressive way, which was uncomfortable to see. They are kind, hardworking people, and their hospitality deserves to be treated with respect.

Rent, god beliggenhed, gode værter Fuld valuta for pengene
This is a family run property who looked after their guests very well. The rooms are clean, the bed is comfortable and the swimming pool is a lovely touch after a hot day out. I loved the location with its proximity to Turtle beach to swim with turtles and near coral beach to swim with fish!

Stanze molto belle, senza umidità e un bellissimo bagno. Camere pulitissime. La famiglia molto accogliente e disponibile. Colazione abbondante. Ci siamo trovati molto bene.
Fin beliggenhet, flotte rom, god seng.

Bra läge, nytt och fräscht rum. Trevlig ägare.
The room was very big,clean and modern. Very friendly owners who prepared a lovely breakfast and in an ideal location
This is a very good, comfortable and clean hotel. The garden and the pool are very good. The staff is very kind and very helpful. They allow us to dinner in the living room with our food. They were very kind. Localization: The hotel is very near the main supermarkets, restaurants and shops, but away from the busy area of Hikkaduwa. There were some noise due to the trains, but that is quite common overall Hikkaduwa. Anyway there are not frequent. One of the rooms was very large, the other room was smaller. Anyway, all of them were comfortable, with the necessary furniture. The bed were comfortable. too. Good air conditioning. Bathrooms - Very Good, large and clean. Shower with hot water and good pressure. Toiletries (shower gel and soap) were provided. Pool - very clean and good. It was very good to swim. Wifi: Very good
One can only pay with cash.
Lovely rooms Hosts very friendly and welcoming
Tutto perfetto!!
L'accueil était très bien. Je suis arrivé plutôt que mon heure prévue, et ils se sont empressés de faire ma chambre. Ils étaient très prévenant vraiment ma meilleure guesthouse du Sri Lanka ! La propreté était impeccable. La salle de bain fonctionne bien. (Eau chaude) Situation géographique idéale proche de la plage à pied, des commerces, des restaurants, etc!
Fantastic place. Well maintained and large rooms. Just a short walk to the beach. The owners were quite welcoming and we had a great time staying here.
Great location at the less touristy end of town and short walk to the train station. The room and bathroom were bright and spacious and comfortable. We felt really safe.

We had a lovely stay here, good location, friendly host and room was clean and comfortable with everything you needed! Pool was great too!
This hotel is super clean, our best stay yet in Sri Lanka. Rooms are big & comfortable, lovely pool, and owners are the loveliest people you will meet, very helpful & kind Definitely would recommend this hotel. Spotless and great location!
Good location just back from the main road. The staff were very helpful.
The wifi connection in the room wasn’t very strong.
The family welcomed us warmly; they were really nice and friendly people. ❤️ The room was clean, modern, and matched the pictures. The breakfast was amazing—I highly recommend it. The yard area and swimming pool were beautiful and enjoyable. There were many monitor lizards swimming in the nearby river, and they are worth seeing.
The WiFi was slow and sometimes unstable, and the shower water was quite cool, though not cold. There was a small lizard in the room, but it didn’t bother us. 😄
Very clean and modern place! Location is close to the Beach. We stayed here for 4 nights. You won’t find any better. That been said, the owners of the place are also very very kind! In conclusion: everything is Great :)
This is a wonderful place to stay - beautiful location - close to beach and amenities and great hosts - very friendly and most helpful. I would highly recommend.
There was nothing to dislike.
The couple running the hotel are very nice. The property is very modern and clean.
Could do with a small fridge in the room. will help to have a non-slip mat in the bathrooms since the tiled floors get very slippery and can cause serious injury.
Location is good, stuff is friendly
Tha bed was uncomfortable, very hard
Clean, modern and quiet but close to all facilities

Probably our nicest stay in Sri Lanka! Beautiful swimming pool, large modern clean bedroom and bathroom, very nice hosts, walking distance to the beach, center and train station, but far enough to be quiet. 10/10!!!
Property was really modern, new and clean. Good location and the staff were friendly.
The wifi didn’t work great but not much of an issue.
The owners are very nice and approachable. Very tasteful, simple neat and clean property. Very central location to many facilities.
Pool is on the smaller side
Very accommodating hosts, helped me with everything I needed and more, for example with transfers to and from the airport. The room is very spacious and clean, and the guest house is very close to atms, supermarkets, and of course the beach.
Room was great - really big, clean and modern. Very good location a short walk from the beach where you can snorkel off the shore.
Great location situated only a short walk from the beach.
The room was clean and spacious and the pool was beautiful.

Location. Pool. Facilities
The room was very spacious, luminous and clean. The bed was wide and comfortable. Bathroom is good and functional (light switches not convenient and no hot water). Both a/c and fan in good condition. Laundry can be done on site. Staff is discret but welcoming. The hotel is located a little bit backwards from the main street and so is more quiet. Except for the close railway.
The pool is more a big bath than a pool. Don't expect to swim in it and the place is busy with only 2 people. The bath is more for the atmosphere or to cool down a bit when you feel hot. Globally, the outside area is small, smaller than it appears on the pictures. Also, the a/c (outside compressors) are a bit noisy when they all are on.
In February 2024 we (2 adult and 3y.o. kid) had an awesome time staying at The Ritz villa. The host family is super nice and accommodating. They helped us with transfer booking and laundry. Overall the room was super clean and quite modern and they cleaned it and changed bed every 3-4 days and the territory was cleaned several times a day. In the room was everything that could be needed except just small fridge, but I believe it's the matter of time, because as I understood from the reviews last summer there was no pool - which is also great and served us a lot during our stay there. There was just a big fridge in the "lobby" for all the guests to keep their products. There is also small kitchen that guest can use, but we didn't as there are a lot of good and not expensive spots around. Location of the villa is very convenient - just 5 mins to the beach and there is a railway which surprisingly didn't disturb like we expected. If you are in search of cozy, quite, clean and family stay, look no more further!
Very clean, good location, helpful hosts, nice facilities, clean and spacious pool
Great place to chill out, secure, clean and away from the main town but only a short walk to the beach, main bus and train station. Good pool and balcony to sit out. Perfect.

Lovely friendly host family - beautiful modern immaculate rooms - lovely pool
The closeness to train line - trains woke us up a few times each night - however you get used to it and wouldn’t put us off coming back
A beautiful hotel, spotlessly clean and run by Rohan and his lovely family. If your planning a trip to Hikkaduwa then I recommend you stay at he Ritz. It's centrally located and easy acces to he beach and nearby restaurants. The nicest room we've had in our stay in Sri Lanka. A lovely kitchen and a pool that you won't want to get out off. Couldn't ask for much more.

The location is excellent, the pool is so clean, the ownersare very friendly and helpful. The beach is 2/3 mins away through a short cut, we loved our stay and will be back next year
Clean, perfect location Good pool very kind hosts Huge room with excellent bathroom
Very clean and big room. The pool is also very nice and the property gets maintained well. Within 2 minutes walk you are on the main road and with 2 more minutes you are on the beach. Room has a patio which leads directly to the pool.
WiFi is slow
Very clean and well maintained. The owner takes great efforts to ensure the premise is clean and he is very friendly.
It was perfect
very clean. new place, and Close to the Beach.. nice host, we really enjoyed the stay here.
The location was very good. The room was large. The water very hot! The outside area was very nice and peaceful! The mattress was comfy, but the pillows weren’t great.
The WiFi wasn’t very good. The bedding, towels and floors were clean, but the wall and windows were very dirty, food on the walls and greasy prints on the windows.
the room was very clean and neat; fresh towels; very good sanitary facilities; everything worked perfectly within the room including air conditioner, fan and safe; water pressure was excellent. the accommodation is in a short walking distance of the beach, supermarket, fruit market and most popular cafes
nicely presented and clean / modern & spacious
host were good people
