La amabilidad y hospitalidad del personal. Todo estaba muy limpio, buenísimo desayuno. La habitación cuenta con muchos enchufes y es muy espaciosa. La piscina muy limpia, amplia y con muchas horas de sol. Buena ubicación. Dejan alimentar a los monos del resort. Nos dejaron una habitación hasta tarde para poder cambiarnos después del check out.
Nada a destacar
Heerlijke tuin en ontbijt. Ruime schone kamers en ontzettend lief personeel.
Wifi was in de avond in de kamer beetje slecht, maar geen probleem hoor
Все очень круто ,один из лучших в хикке
Все было отлично! Очень приветливый персонал, обезьяны (воспитанные) и бурундуки на территории))))
Слышно железную дорогу, но быстро привыкаешь к этому звуку)
Zentrale Lage Uns hat der Zug überhaupt nicht gestört
Были первый раз на Шри-Ланке, отель выбирали по инфраструктуре и отзывам, ни сколько не прогадали. Завтраки были сытными, каждый день разные фреши, впервые попробовали фреш из маракуйи. Номер достался на первом этаже, что очень комфортно, однако по ночам вылезали муравьи в ванной комнате, а к утру магически исчезали. Кровать очень удобная, в номере был кондиционер и вентилятор, по ночам было достаточно вентилятора. Уборку проводили очень хорошую, по запросу, раз в три дня. К пляжу хиккадувы пешком минут 7, наригама 8-9. Менеджер отеля максимально располагал к себе, давал советы и оперативно решал возникающие у нас вопросы. Насчет железной дороги рядом, к ней и правда быстро привыкаешь, начинают поезда ездить примерно с 5 утра.
Sehr schöne und saubere Zimmer. Sehr bequemes Bett. Bad schön groß und sauber. Tolle Anlage, großer Garten, schöner großer Pool mit Liegen. Strand 5 Minuten entfernt. Sehr nettes und hilfsbereites Personal. Sehr zu empfehlen.
Это самое прекрасное место проживания за нашу поездку. Красивая и чистая территория, замечательные зоны отдыха внутри виллы. Номер тоже приятный, есть все необходимое для проживания. Пляжные полотенца предоставили по запросу. Особенно порадовали обезьянки, которых по утрам можно покормить с рук. Также хочу отметить очень внимательный и отзывчивый персонал. Нам всё очень понравилось, если посетим Хиккадуву, обязательно остановимся в этом чудесном месте!
Very convenient position close to everything. The villa is very well maintained and the rooms are spotless. We had a great time there. The monkeys in the morning at breakfast were great to see
Nothing
Location is great. Kind of central but still very quite and peaceful. The property is amazing for the price. Breakfast was the best we had among all the hotels/airbnb in sri lanka.
Proximité ville
Bruit train
What a great place! We couldn’t fault it, great location, so clean with immaculate gardens, lovely swimming pool, friendly staff and wonderful breakfast. Would definitely recommend to other travellers.

Мы просто влюбились в эту виллу! Сейчас мы живем в 4-ом месте и однозначно вилла Kaya лучшая! Сотрудники, атмосфера, сад, !обезьяны 🥰, бассейн - все просто невероятное. Особенно удивились расположению: до Turtle beach пешком минут 5-6. Номер у нас был на первом этаже, и это был идеальный вариант: справа от кровати - выход к бассейну, слева - выход в сад. Если мы когда-нибудь поедем в Хиккадуву еще раз, то обязательно вернемся только сюда. Выбирая разные виллы и читая отзывы на них, мы все смеялись что пишут «это лучшая вилла на Шри Ланке». Теперь тоже хочется так написать 😁 Отдельное спасибо сотрудникам виллы, что подарили нам чай, это было очень приятно 🙏
Мы жили 6 ночей и за это время номер ни разу не убрали. НО! Мы уверены на 1000%, что если бы мы попросили, его бы убрали)) Это не замечание к вилле, а некое предупреждение для новых гостей, что просите сами и все будет))
If you like to get scammed it’s a great places to go. Also if you like to sleep with cockroaches and lizards it’s maybe the best place to go.
Convenient location, good room facilities, clean pool, close to the railway, can hear the train but it doesn't disturb the rest
Breakfast was not good value for money, 2000 rupees a person, fruit plate, juice, eggs, a few pieces of bread. Breakfast does seem a bit expensive compared to other places I've stayed at and there is very little to eat
The room was a great size with a great view of the pool area. Staff were available to assist and help from the moment we arrived. Wild monkeys live directly behind the hotel and it was amazing as we got to feed them with the owner by hand which was absolutely incredible. Great location less than 5 minute walk to the main road and we loved seeing the trains drive each day.
Sometimes the noise from the trains was loud but it didn't bother us that much!
Wonderful place, clean, perfect service, rich breakfast! We will come back again!

Breakfast was great and the staff were amazing. The room was super comfortable with a lovely balcony.
Nothing - everything was perfect.
Our stay was fabulous, Villa Kaya is a great location with very spacious, clean, well maintained rooms and bathrooms. Everything was in perfect working order. The staff are without exception helpful, courteous, friendly and professional, they anticipated our needs regarding the local community and gave us solid and helpful advice. The gardens and pool are well kept and cared for. I cannot recommend the property enough, Excellent stay, we will be back!
The WIFI in parts of the building was slow.
Great location off the main street, so easy access to local shops, restaurants and beaches. Although being next to the railway line it was quiet enough not to be bothered by the hourly train. We had a 1st floor room which was perfect to look out over the pool or out the back watching the monkeys, comfy sofas on this level too. Pool was clean and sun loungers were great after being on the beach in the morning. Breakfast was of a good standard, fruit dish and choice of eggs were always welcomed and the staff were always pleasent. Look our for the afternoon bread tuk tuk, you will hear it - nice afternoon treats with a cup of tea ;)
Being asked to pay on arrival and asking to use the tip jar.
This hotel is superb and exceptional value for money. We stayed in six hotels on our recent trip to Sri Lanka and this was our favourite. Great location, five minutes walk to the beach and many local restaurants and shops but set back a little from the busy main street that runs through Hikkaduwa. There's a large supermarket just down the road with a wine/beer shop and several ATMs. All the staff are friendly and welcoming. A great breakfast and set in lovely gardens which are really well maintained. The pool is very clean and the sunbeds are comfortable. The rooms are spacious and spotlessly clean with a great bathroom, a comfortable bed and both air-con and ceiling fan. We stayed in Room 1 on the ground floor having terraces front and back. From the back you can watch a troop of friendly monkeys in the trees which come down at breakfast time to be hand fed the leftovers! There are also large monitor lizards which make regular appearances. We would happily stay here again.
Couldn't fault it.
Great location in the centre of town. minutes from the bars, restaurants and beach. First class breakfast with lots of fruit, yoghurts and eggs. Friendly staff and a large air conditioned nice clean room, with a great pool and lovely gardens. The monkeys were a bonus!
The towels could have been changed part way through the week and a bed sized top sheet on the bed would have been nice.
Everything! Room, location, amazing breakfast- best we've had. Monkey's visiting for braking. Beautiful pool area and lovely staff
Nothing. A tiny bonus would be to have net curtains on the lower ground floor rooms but I'm being picky. It was one of our favourite hotels.
A little repet
Lovely but repetative
Everything, great facilities, large comfortable room and bed, Aircon fan and spotless. Fantastic breakfast, and staff were really welcoming helpful and friendly. Large immaculately kept grounds and a perfect pool area for children and adults alike. Only 5 minutes walk to the main street with cafes shops and bars and 10 minutes to the nearest beach. The best we've stayed in in Sri Lanka. I would recommend this to anyone.
Nothing
Beautiful location away from the main street just over the railway line. Lovely garden that was always well tended. Allowed my wife and I to check in very early, 05.30 am after two flights from the UK. The Villa arranged our airport pick up so it was a breeze to get to. Two hours from Columbo. Very good sized room with all amenities, Pool nice and refreshing after a day out. We would have stayed longer however we only booked three nights to see if we liked Hikaduwa.
Not a great deal to complain about really. No hot water for the shower but as it was so warm during the day it was quite a relief to have a cool shower. People have commented on the train noise but we never noticed it.
Nice pool, very good location, tasty breakfast and super friendly staff.
Pretty close to the train railway, but after a few nights you get used to it.
We had a wonderful stay at Villa Kaya Guest House. The owner was incredibly helpful and welcoming, making us feel right at home. Our room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to the beach and lovely restaurants. The local Turtle Beach is a must-visit, where you can see large wild turtles in their natural habitat—a truly magical experience. The charming surroundings, including its proximity to the train line, added an authentic touch to our stay. The amazing breakfast each morning was amazing! It was a perfect base for our trip, and we’d happily stay here again. Highly recommended!
No, it was all good!
Nice central location. Lovely breakfast
It’s close to the train line so noisy occasionally. This isn’t a big deal except if you are a light sleeper.
Amazing stay, great staff and breakfast service, very nice pool, clean rooms and everything was 10/10! Totaly reccomend this place!
Nothing. Close to guest house is train but it is not disturbing is a part and culture of Sri Lanka!
So nice place, good breakfast and the staff is so friendly and helpful. Just a 5 minutes walk from the beach. many restaurants near by.
Lovely pool, pretty good location, rooms are nice.
Breakfast could be better, no option to pay by card, could do with more shade around the pool.
Very nice hotel. Rooms and pool are great
Train at 5am is a little annoying. Staff don't ask if you have any food allergies for breakfast
Superb stay in Hikkaduwa! Very spacious, clean rooms with all you need. The staff is super nice, special thanks to my friend taking care of the place at night :) Tasty breakfast includes a large fruit platter, egg and warm, toasted bread. The pool area is very clean and although the train passes by from time to time, I never felt disturbed. Would come here again anytime!
Pool was lovely and clean. Room also very comfortable. Shops and restaurants easy 3 min walk away.
All pretty good
New, spacious, rooms bed comfy and clean, big bathroom, with all the essentials accessories in the room. Pool area is nice. On one side pool view on the other green,trees, wild and a canal
Great location. Walking distance to the beach and restaurants we wanted to go to. Nice pool. Big room with aircon and fridge. Afternoon visits from monkeys. Helpful staff. Good value for money.
Noise from the train when sleeping. Not much shade around the pool. Wifi wasn’t working for me. It was sporadic for mum.
stunning property! We were off season so the place was being painted etc while we were there but wasn’t really an issue. Lovely fresh new rooms were a bonus! Train noise didnt bother us, I actually loved the novelty of being so close!
Rooms were super clean but there were some ants - not really a reflection of the property though more just common throughout Sri Lanka
Great place to stay in Hikkaduwa! Comfortable room, good breakfast and clean, nice swimming pool.
The breakfast was good for a very good price. Room was spacious and had everything we needed. We had a small lizard as a guest in the bathroom but it was expected. The other room had mosquito problem in their room but that was dealt with. We also had a opportunity to feed the monkeys near the accom as well which was a fun experience.
It is close to train tracks so you will hear the train from time to time but it didn't affect us and our sleep
Modern clean efficient well run
Nothing
Everything was perfect, super nice room, amazing pool, great breakfast, fast contact with the owner, air con, close to everything. 10/10
the train next to the hotel sometimes is making a lot of noice, but we didn't mind it at all, still 10/10
Exceptional property. Staff very helpful, professional and accommodating. The grounds were immaculate and the bed very comfortable. A fridge provided which made it possible to keep drinks nice and cold. The best place that I stayed in Sri Lanka.
For value for money, this was probably the best hotel we stayed in on our 6 months of travelling. The pool was incredible to cool down in the Sri Lankan heat! Rooms were a great size, beds were comfortable and balcony was lovely to relax on. Got to feed the monkeys after speaking to the staff which was a lovely experience too! Location is perfect as it’s a short walk behind the main road so it’s very quiet at night and peaceful. 5 minute walk max to the beach
Pool, big room, clean, kind staff, good location
Train track is very close to the hotel and the train can be a bit loud
Beautiful property, clean, modern and only a short walk from the main street and beach. The rooms and pool area were spotless and had nice sun beds. Rooms had good air con and hairdryer. Bathroom was also super clean. The general vibe is pretty chilled. The staff were very friendly, kind and helpful. It is surrounded by nature, lush greenery, monkeys playing in the trees above, big lizards and birds all peacefully co-existing and not bothersome at all.
It’s worth noting that there are train tracks right on the doorstep and a very loud train travelling past maybe once an hour both day and night. There was also some music and parties happening at night somewhere close by which could be heard. This is no fault of the property directly and it is generally quiet and peaceful outside of those aspects as it is situated away from the main road. But something to consider if you’re a light sleeper like me.
The setting was very peaceful and the breakfast was amazing. Very tasty - especially the pancakes! The pool was lovely too
My room smelled a bit musty
Lovely villa hotel in beautifully maintained grounds with large swimming pool. The property is very close to the beach, shops and restaurants. The staff are very friendly and I would highly recommend this property.
Lovely guesthouse with one of the best breakfasts we’ve had in Sri Lanka! The hosts were also great. Couldn’t recommend this place more with only a short walk to the main front. Fantastic pool
Would be good to have extra toilet roll given during the stay! But otherwise great
Beautiful grounds and pool, very peaceful, very clean, very friendly and helpful staff, spacious, modern airy rooms with very comfortable beds, spacious modern bathroom. Excellent breakfast with plentiful and delicious fruits. Nothing was too much trouble. Great location for Hikkaduwa and beaches.
Good location to reach everything in Hikkaduwa. Also it was nice & calm to relax in the garden around the pool.
Because we were diving in hikkaduwa we had to get up early, but to get some breakfast before 8:30am was quite difficult. Altough we asked the days before.
Our stay in hotel was amazing! Big room with comfortable bed, nice balcony. Territory is clean and cozy. Monkeys and other animal was soooo cool. Stag is friendly and professional. Thank you! Totally recommend!
Room was not cleaned during our stay. May be we should ask… but for us it wasn’t critical.
Friendly staff, beautiful outdoor area often visited by monkeys, flying foxes and other animals. Very clean and good standard.
It was an absolute wonderful stay in your house. The breakfast was increadible, fresh juice every morning, fried eggs and lovely bread and a beautiful plate of wonderful fruits. The rooms were big and very confortable. The staff was very friendly If we come back to SL we will surely stay in Villa Kaya again
The bed on the 3rd. floor newly opened is very very hard, more compared to the beds on the 2nd floor. 'For us european a bit too hard. There is no shade at the świmming pool, a few ombrellas would be nice
Nice and big rooms and bathrooms. very clean design. Clean surroundings and a pretty garden. Hard working staff though we didn’t see the manager during our stay. Prices are reasonable.
Breakfast could have been better. Also, faster. It only starts after 8 am and the servers are a bit laid back. On our second day we had to leave early however there was no provision of any packed breakfast though the staff offered to make coffee. So we bought breakfast elsewhere. No one asked for a proper check in when we arrived. The rooms are spacious, clean and equipped , but lacked coziness. Fan switch is at a difficult position. Bathroom hot water is too little and late, a lot of water is wasted waiting for hot water which is only lukewarm. The beach is 5-10 mins walking and you have to cross a train line and a busy street. There’s no view as such.
Villa Kaya is amazing!!!!! So calm and nice accommodation. Staff is really polite and kind. Breakfast is really good. Rooms are clean and comfortable - nice pool and monkeys ... they were amazing. It has a super nice vibe and I am out of words really!
Nothing!
Its a perfect place to unwind. It's so calm. It only takes 2,3 minutes to the main road. Loved the large pool. Had a really great time there. Would definitely come again!
Lovely pool area, clean rooms and good location near enough to the beach but off the noisy main road
No hot water on a few occasions and although street is much quieter you do get the noise from the trains going past in the morning
Nice villa, great pool, clean room, good breakfast
It could be beachfront😹
Fantastic hidden gem of a place. Rooms were all newly renovated to a very high standard. Staff amazing, breakfast was fantastic (had to share it with the monkeys 😍😍) . Really couldn't fault it. Perfect
Nothing to dislike
We very much enjoyed our stay here and, as a result, even extended our stay. The location is great (few min from the main road and beach), the accommodation is very clean and the pool was nice. Also, the staff was lovely. Good breakfast. And a great place for spotting wildlife!
The internet connection could be improved.
Everything, slightly set back from the busy Main Street, peaceful but only a minute walk to the hustle and bustle of Hikkaduwa and the beautiful beach. Lovely friendly and helpful staff.
Absolutely nothing to dislike.
Room contition, pool, location,
Nothing
The swimming pool is clean and large. It is not surrounded by any trees etc so has the sun on it all day which is great! The staff were polite and allowed us to check in early. There is parking inside the premises which is secure. The room was large and clean. Large breakfast which was good.
Couple of ants in the bedroom only on the floor - not a big issue for us though. Close to the train line which we knew before booking, again not an issue for us however a few trains did go through during the night and they are quite loud.
Friendly and attentive staff, clean and spacious room, beautiful outdoor/swimming pool area and good breakfast.
Due to its location near to the railway it’s a bit noisy when the trains are passing by.
Nice big clean room with kettle and a fridge, lovely big pool and well kept gardens, family of friendly monkeys close by
Nothing
Great location - just set back from the main road of Hikkaduwa. Pool area was great - very clean, pool towels provided and awesome sun loungers. Very comfortable room. Great breakfast with fruit platter. We definitely would stay again!
The train line is right in front but it didn’t bother us at all.
really modern rooms, good air con, clean well kept garden and pool
not much staff on property had to call if you need something, the pool was roasting hot not enjoyable
Spacious room and a nice balcony. Very friendly and accommodating staff and nice breakfast. The setting of the villa (garden, vegetation, pool, wildlife) is great!
No WiFi in the rooms and no alternatives (TV, radio).
I cannot recommend this place enough! I had such a great stay here. The property is beautiful: the rooms are cute, comfortable, and clean. The staff is incredibly welcoming and friendly. Breakfast is delicious and included tea or coffee, fresh juice, yogurt, fresh fruit, eggs your way, and toast with butter and jam. The pool is clean and, somehow, despite the heat, the water remains refreshing. The location is in a quiet place (aside from a train track but the trains only last a few seconds and did not affect my stay at all), yet near to restaurants and bars and salons and tour agencies and souvenir shops. Amazing place! Would definitely stay again!
Everything was perfect! The only thing is that the property description says no children allowed, but there were children there, so if you have kids this can still be a great option for you. Personally, I was looking forward to a child-free holiday but they moved my room after the first night (without my request, just out of pure thoughtfulness) to ensure I had a quiet stay. In the end, I was not at all bothered by the fact that children were there.
- Really beautiful big CLEAN rooms with an awesome terrace - Big swimming pool with a cozy area to chill - Close to the beach and to all the restaurants, shops etc. - Friendly staff - Accomodation looks 100% like the pictures ;)
- Breakfast was not bad, but nothing special
It has a beautiful well-maintained facilities and garden. Loved the monkeys that would visit around breakfast. And best wishes to the night guard who was there every night - such a sweethart.
Everything was good. There were some electricity issues in the city during our stay, but that is not accommodation's issue.
Decent location, new building with nice rooms and swimming pool (good if you want to rest from sea water and waves). Rather good price (but see below comments).
This place has potential, but there is a lot of to do. - Breakfast served terribly slow. It took even one hour to have a basic breakfast. - Plenty of ants, especially in the bathroom. Once we asked, service used some repellent and get rid of them (or most of them), but really it should have been done before our arrival. - Air condition stopped working twice. Although it was repaired upon calling the service, it seems that there is some bigger problem with it. - Wi-fi not available in the room (only in the lobby).
Our stay at Villa Kaya was perfect. The property itself was lovely, the rooms were big, spacious and clean with very comfy beds. The pool area was well kept, clean and relaxing. All of the staff at Villa Kaya including the night time security was amazing, so friendly and helpful. We seen lots of wildlife around, and the staff give you food to feed the local wild monkeys. Every day the property was cleaned, you see the staff working hard all day keeping everywhere in great condition. It is a good location, couple of minute walk to the main road, 5 minutes to the turtle beach. We loved our stay and will hopefully be back in the future.
Nothing.
pool is lovely. breakfast was good too. room was big and bright & staff were cool. gave us some food to feed monkeys
if I had to pick, I’d say the train wasn’t ideal but who really cares it’s a train. if you don’t like it go sleep in the countryside grandma
