Cashew Villa Hiriketiya

La casa ha un giardino bellissimo. La camera piccola e semplice ma molto pulita. Il proprietario è stato molto gentile.

Paba was really friendly and helpful, the bed was big and comfortable and the location was great. Plus I loved sitting outside the apartment, in the shade at the table and watching monkeys climb through the trees

Place is beautiful, rooms are very simple but there is everything you need there.

Located next to the prettiest part of town with great access to lovely cafes and close to the beach. The area is also private and quiet and you can see monkeys easily. The room and bathroom are nicely decorated and there is always help whenever you need it.

We really struggled without AC as it was 32/33 degrees each day. The tuk tuks couldn’t get to the place so we had to walk through a thunderstorm one evening to get back. The room isn’t very light either but it was still good value for money.

Die Unterkunft war genau, wie sie auf den Bildern aussieht und der Gastgeber war sehr freundlich! Vor allem die Lage ist super. Ruhig, aber man ist schnell im Zentrum. Wir saßen abends gern auf der schönen Terrasse.

Es gibt keine Klimaanlage, was aber in der Beschreibung steht. Daher kann man das nicht bemängeln. Trotz der Ventilatoren war es aber sehr warm im Zimmer.

Short but pleasant stay at Cashew. Walking distance to beach in quiet area. Good value for money.

All good.

It was clean, and it looks like a lot of the facilities are new and good quality (e.g. sink, toilet, etc.). The owner seems like a very good person - he woke up every morning to burn incense and pray to Buddha.

- Location is a bit remote. It's hard for cars to get there, making it hard for loading luggage, and it can be scary at night or early morning. Some of the nearby houses have dogs which can bark and burst out which again can be scary during the odd hours. - The lighting in the room is very dim. I think lighting makes a big difference in feeling of cleanliness and safety. - There are small cracks to the outside which allows bugs to get in. Fortunately he has a mosquito net over the bed though. - There were two fans directed at our bed, and we weren't able to adjust the intensity, so we were stuck feeling either chilly or stuffy throughout the night.

En pleine nature et pourtant hyper proche du centre. C'était super

Die Unterkunft befindet sich etwas abseits und ist daher sehr ruhig. Es gibt einen sehr schönen Garten mit einer tollen Terasse. Der Gastgeber war sehr nett und höflich, wir haben uns wohl gefühlt

Der Weg zur Unterkunft ist vor allem im Dunkeln von einem sehr aggressiven Nachbarshund bewacht und nicht beleuchtet. Die Zimmer sind sperlich eingerichtet, Im Zimmer gibt es nur sehr wenig Ablagemöglichkeiten und es war insgesamt sehr Dunkel (trotzdem hat man alles, was man benötigt).

Great value for price, we liked the location (little bit off the main road, but it’s a nice walk to the beach and you can see a lot of animals).

Be mindful that there is no AC, so it gets hot in the room. The last part of the road is little rough for vehicles.

Cashew Villa was such a beautiful and peaceful place to stay. Paba was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the room was very spacious. The location is also great, just a short walk to everything. I would absolutely love to stay here again!

Habitación muy limpia y entorno muy bonito. El propietario es muy agradable y siempre con una sonrisa. Sin duda, si volvemos a Hiriketiya repetiremos de lugar.

.

Die Unterkunft ist sehr liebevoll gemacht und gepflegt, innen und außen. Die Lage ist super. Paba war immer und sehr schnell erreichbar.

Die Unterkunft liegt im Grünen und es ist sehr ruhig Nachts! Es gibt einen Ventilator, daher wird es Nachts auch nicht zu warm! Der Gastgeber ist sehr nett und war immer offen für Fragen!

located off the noisy part but still close to the busy streets you feel like your in the jungle it was so peaceful and quiet with loads of birds The garden is beautiful The room was super clean and comfortable It was my favourite place here :) can only recommend

Struttura bella, pulita, a 5 min dalla spiaggia di Hiriketiya. La colazione (disponibile a pagamento) era ottima. Stanza ben arredata con portico e tavolo. L’host gentilissimo e disponibile ad aiutare per qualunque cosa.

Mancanza di acqua calda e di aria condizionata (ci sono solo ventilatori). Durante il giorno la camera è molto calda, ma di notte col ventilatore si sta bene. Per noi non è stato un problema, però per alcuni potrebbe esserlo quindi lo segnalo qui.

Great location, just a few minutes walk to the beach (short cut not shown on map). This was the best place we stayed at at this price point. Super clean bathroom and living throughout Staff are very helpful and friendly! The road up to the property is slightly under developed but no issues :)

De ruime badkamer en goed werkende douche. Ook het bed was goed en voorzien van insectengaas.

De host was vrij asociaal. Hielp ons met de bagage, maar daar bleef het bij. We zijn gastvrije mensen gewoon na 17 dagen in Sri Lanka. Hier hadden we te maken met een zeer formele man die enkel communiceerde als hij vragen had. Geen welkomdrankje, geen water.. De kamer had geen airco, onze eigen fout, maar dat heeft deze kamer wel echt nodig! Wij hebben tot 3x toe alles moeten open zetten voor verlichting en dan nog was het buffen met de waaier. Dagsnadien was de stroom weg waardoor onze kamer een sauna was en ook te donker zonder licht. Vooral de badkamer was niet handig met 1 raam 20 op 20. We kregen tot 3x toe de vraag wanneer we de dag nadien zouden uitchecken en toen we sochtends om 9u nog een wandeling wilde maken, kregen we nogmaals te horen dat 11u het uitcheckmoment is. Niet fijn en niet nodig.

Location is very close to beach in the quiet tropical jungle, clean and new rooms, comfy beds, strong fan, beautiful garden, kind host, great value for $. Would stay again.

Nothing

Naprosto úžasné ubytování a velmi milí hostitel. který nám po domluvě udělal každé ráno skvělou snídani! Doopravdy jsme byli velmi spokojení a děkujeme za takto skvělé ubytování!

Very spacious room and comfortable bed. Location is only 5 minutes from the beach and some great local restaurants. The family running the villa are very helpful and helped me arrange a tuk tuk to my next location at a fair price.

The bed is one of the comfiest beds I've ever slept in. Very peaceful and quiet area. The room was spotless!

There only being 1 plug socket was a little annoying. So you could either have the fan on or you could charge your phone, you couldn't do both.

Casa con giardino molto bello, ordinato e pulito. Si trova a qualche minuto dal centro e dalla spiaggia di Hiriketiya, si va tranquillamente a piedi ma si deve passare in una stradina sterrata buia di sera (importante avere la torcia anche per vedere i numerosi cani). Proprietario molto gentile e accogliente, ci ha preparato la colazione entrambi i giorni su richiesta e ci ha dato ottimi consigli per proseguire il viaggio.

Stanza molto calda ma per fortuna c’è un ventilatore potente che ci ha permesso di dormire bene.

Good location, close to the beach

Close to the restaurants but away from the hustle and bustle of tuk tuks. Paba provided attentive care and was lovely. He let me check in earlier than expected and provided wifi details on arrival. This homestay is only a short walk to the main beach. And has a strong fan to keep you cool at night.

Best value for money I’ve had so far in Sri Lanka. Huge rooms. The brushed concrete bathroom feels more premium than grotty tiles. And the warmest smile from my host on entry, who was waiting for me out on the road in the rain with an extra umbrella for me

Something that can’t be helped, but the place is located up very dark lanes when walking by yourself at night

all great, away from the crowd and really beautiful place

I really enjoyed my stay at Cashew Villa Hireketiya — even more than I expected. The host was super helpful, gave me all the bus information, and even called the drivers for me, which made everything so much easier. The room was huge, with plenty of space to do my practices. I also had a terrace with a table and a lounge chair, which I loved. There’s no AC (as mentioned in the description), but the fan worked well. The bathroom was also big and comfortable, and I liked that there were different lighting options cause I’m not a fan of bright light at night. The villa is in a very quiet spot, which was perfect for me, and the beach is only about a 10-minute walk away through a beautiful path surrounded by trees. The only thing is that the path can be a bit dark at night. All in all, this ended up being my favorite place in Hiriketiya!

We liked all the facilities, they are new and very clean. Beautiful garden in the middle of nature. Loved that too

Location is 5-10 min walk from the beach and the villgae, which js great. The only minus point is that through nature and a little uncomfortable for two girls during evening walk back to the room. But nothing happened to us, so it is totally safe!

Erg ruime en schone kamer mét groot terras. De hosts staan graag voor je klaar en reageren snel. Erg fijne uitvalsbasis voor een meer dan schappelijke prijs.

Enigszins buiten het centrum en in de avond is een TukTuk nemen aan te raden.

Die Räume sind sehr neu und super sauber. Es ist alles da, was man braucht. Sogar ein Adapter für die Steckdose und eine Fernbedienung für den Ventilator. Der Garten ist auch wunderschön, super gepflegt und man kann Vögel und Affen beobachten. Und Paba gibt sich wirklich alle Mühe, dass man sich wohlfühlt. Also alles Tip-top. Wäre auch gerne noch länger geblieben, aber die Zimmer waren leider schon ausgebucht.

Hele aardige en behulpzame host

Geen airco, het is een klein stukje door het donker lopen in de avond dus een zaklamp is handig

Struttura immersa nella natura e molto silenziosa. La camera è bella e pulita. Il proprietario è sempre stato molto gentile e disponibile. Vicino alla spiaggia di Hiriketiya, cinque minuti a piedi. Vicino a ristoranti. Il nostro soggiorno è stato perfetto. All’esterno c’è un tavolo e delle sedie su cui rilassarsi.

Per arrivare è necessario fare una strada che di notte è buia.

The guesthouse is located in a very peaceful and quiet place, not far from the beach and stores. The owner, Paba, was very helpful and kind! Would recommend staying here!

Room was lovely, clean and extremely spacious with a large patio out front. Great location near the beach and the surrounding property is beautiful and green. Recommend!

Amazing place! Super nice hosts, quiet surroundings, you really get to experience nature and beach life. The rooms is clean and spacious. I had a very pleasant stay and would recommend this place if you are in Hiriketiya.

Great experience, the host was really friendly, the rooms were super clean and we actually loved the garden!!!

The room was spacious and clean. The place is off the beatten track but within walking distance of restaurants and the beach. I really enjoyed walkin back at the night with the fireflies along the way.

Alles war Perfekt! Der Gastgeber war sehr lieb und zuvorkommend! Wir werden wieder kommen! Wunderschönes Badezimmer!

Lage wenn man alleine ist.

Ens hem sentit com a casa en aquest allotjament. Ens han resolt tots els dubtes que teniem en quan a itinerari i amb molta predisposició per ajudar-te en el dia a dia. Estàs a 5 minuts a peu de la platja i envoltada de naturalesa!! L'allotjament té una àmplia terrassa on descansar. Els seus dos gossos són adorables!! Hi tornariem sens subte!!!!

The villa it’s in the jungle but the peace you get from there it’s amazing. Every morning I practice my yoga on the garden - the best way to start the day. You are surrounded by animals.

To walk there in the night it’s a bit chanllenfing are there are no light on the road.

A beautiful, clean, spacious room in a truly idyllic garden, where you can hear birds sing, frogs ribbit and gaze at the stars and the fire flies at night. You will most likely be visited by a sleepy cat and a couple of friendly and energetic dogs (the neighbours). Pabba is a great host, always responsive to my messages and helpful. I loved my week here so much. A slice of paradise, private yet central.

Heads up: one house near the property has two dogs who will bark at you as you pass them. I found this scary at night time, but after a few days, I realised their behaviour is just to bark at passers by as opposed to wanting to attack. Bring a torch to light your way.

Great wifi and spacious room!

Zona tranquila, habitaciones grandes y limpias, amabilidad del personal.

Nada

Lovely big room and bathroom! The host was very helpful and nice. Only 5 minutes walk from the beach. Would recommend!

Pulizia

Posizione. Di giorno è anche piacevole ma di notte è veramente difficile identificarla. Magari una luce non dispiacerebbe

We hebben een fijn verblijf gehad. De ruimte is groot en schoon. De host is super vriendelijk en behulpzaam.

Het ligt net buiten het centrum, waarbij je een stuk in het donker moet lopen. Als vrouw alleen zou ik het niet aanraden. Als stel/duo is het prima als je buiten de drukte wil verblijven. Er is enkel een ventilator en dat kan wel warm zijn.

Établissement au calme à deux pas du spot de surf et de la plage. Petits déjeuners excellents ! Notre hôte était très gentil ! Merci encore pour l’accueil :)

Very new, very clean and communication with the owner was excellent. He told us which station to get off the train, how much to pay the driver, good directions etc. We had fresh fruit, crepes, tea and coffee for breakfast at a reasonable extra price. The villa is up a tree lined path… you are staying in a home and outside the tourist zone (but still 5 minute walk down to the beach). A peaceful natural place- we saw peacocks, parrots and a monkeys who were very keen to help themselves to your breakfast so watch out for them!

We had a huge room, which was super clean! It also had a big private patio, and there were lines in the garden for drying towels/bikini etc.

It was super hot as some other reviews mentioned but we did expect this with it being a fan room. Perhaps it could have done with a slightly more powerful fan and then it would have been perfect!

Really enjoyed our stay here, Paba is so polite and friendly and looked after us very well. Our room was basic but modern and super clean! We had breakfast one morning and it was delicious, make sure you pre order the day before so Paba is aware :). Location is great, walking distance to all the lovely local spots and the beach! It is slightly set back than other places but we didn’t mind too much. We really enjoyed sitting on the porch in the mornings watching the monkeys and peacocks go about their business. I would highly recommend

Worth mentioning there is no AC so for us Brits it was quite warm at night. The fan did just about enough to keep us cool at night though. A portion of the walk at night time back to the property is very dark so bring a torch/phone with you to light the way :) Completely faultless otherwise and again would certainly recommend!

The property is located on the hill, in a quiet area of Hiriketiya which means you can actually sleep at night because the noise from the parties doesn’t reach the place. While you are still really close to the beach and town. Just 5 minutes walk 🤩. The owner is very nice and they have a sweet dogs and a cat 🐈🐾

Everything was good

Leuke plek, aardige eigenaar en kregen een extra fan omdat het te warm was. Koude douche.

Het is een stukje lopen naar de accommodatie wat niet heel erg is maar het is heel donker en niet fijn om door de jungle te lopen in het donker. Er is geen airco en dat is echt veels te warm.

We had a great time in the cashew villa. The host is super friendly, it was very clean and i had a stable WiFi connection. The breakfast that he provides was delicious and cheap. If you are lucky you can spot some monkeys while eating it outside.I can really recommend!

You have to know that it get's quite hot inside the apartment but the host provides fans. A small lamp next to the bed would also be nice.

Sehr freundlicher Gastgeber, bequemes Bett, es kommen immer wieder 2 Hunde und eine katze vorbei die ebenfalls total lieb sind. Sehr leckeres frühstück, auch die ruhige Lage und das gezwitscher am Morgen ist super

Anfangs hatten wir bedenken, da es keine AC gibt aber wir haben dann einen 2. Ventilator bekommen und alles war gut

The place is wonderfull, extremely close to the beach and all the bars and restaurants! The staff is extremely kind and helpfull! Furthermore, the breakfast they serve is really good. So we really recommend this place!

The apartment was clean and comfortable

I had a great stay here. The property is lovely!

The host is great and the location is also excellent

El alojamiento se encuentra a 10 minutos andando de la playa de Hiriketiya. Tiene una habitación, un baño privado y una terraza amplia. El anfitrion siempre ha estado dispuesto a ayudarnos y el alojamiento ha sido un 10.

Todo bien.

Paba was very friendly and helpful. The room was basic, clean and comfortable, good for a short stay. Close to town without the noise.

Nothing, just bare in mind it is a little walk up a hill which is very dark at night.

Paba is a cool guy. He was very kind to us, allowing us to borrow and umbrella in the rain and letting us be late with the checkout due to a slow breakfast in town. Great space near both beaches and some nice restaurants. Would love to be back sometime.

Bit hot in the rooms sometimes

Top Unterkunft! Der Gastgeber war super nett! Das Zimmer war sauber und gemütlich! Der Garten ist sehr schön! Zum Strand ist es nicht weit, auf dem Weg gibt es gute Restaurants! Sehr idyllisch!

- sehr netter Host - gute Lage (etwas außerhalb deshalb sehr ruhig und mitten in der Natur) - Strand und Restaurants aber trotzdem schnell fußläufig erreichbar - sehr sauber - man kann viele Tiere im Garten beobachten und die Hunde und die Katze sind super süß

keine Klimaanlage deshalb sehr heiß im Zimmer (es gibt einen Ventilator), sonst alles tiptop

Erg aardige behulpzame eigenaar. Locatie is lekker rustig

Er is geen arco. Wel een ventilator. Maar kan dus wat warm worden.

Great hoste. Short walk from the beach. Nice bed. Mosquito net. Clean. Nice pancakes, fruits, All good.

Constructive feedback: The patio could benefit from a little seperation between the two rooms. A bit more privacy. It could do with some more colour. Some decoration. Its super close to one of the most epic surf spots in Sri Lanka. So a little jungle surf fibe would improve the overall experience. Coffee could be better. I'd suggest a coffee press.

Die Anlage ist sehr gepflegt und der Gastgeber sehr aufmerksam. Alles war gut fußläufig zu erreichen.

Im Grünen, sehr nette Eigentümer

Sehr einfach eingerichtetes Zimmer, in der Nacht hörten wir Gesang, ein wenig ausserhalb vom Zentrum, die Fahrt mit dem Roller zur Unterkunft ist sehr abenteuerlich

Calm location. Clean. Great WiFi. The host was very helpful and welcoming.

Die Eigentümer sind super freundlich und offen. Unser Zimmer und das anliegende Bad waren sehr sauber und modern ausgestattet. Unser Zimmer war ein Neubau. Im Garten kann man Affen beobachten. Die schöne Bucht ist fußläufig in 5 Minuten erreichbar. Das Frühstück ist nicht im Preis inbegriffen, kann aber bei Bedarf dazu gebucht werden. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und würden sicher wiederkommen.

Peaceful location & lovely setting, only a short walk to the beach. Our room was very clean & new but needed some more furniture as it was a bit sparse. No aircon, but the fan was effective. The owner was very helpful and able to provide breakfast at additional cost.

Our taxi had to drop us 150m away as the road was too rough! You will need a decent torch to walk back to the property at night!

Vriendelijke host, goed traditioneel ontbijt, op loopafstand van het strand. Kamer was zeer schoon.

It was a very clean and big room. Nice and quiet area. Everything was well taken care off. We felt really welcome. He even helped with the transfer to Yala for a great price and dropped us off with the tuktuk at the restaurant when my husband sprained his knee.

Perfect, clean and tasteful place. Bed with mosquito net and a fantastic breakfast with monkey show

Terrasse devant la chambre pour admirer les écureuils les singes et nous avons eu la chance de voir un martin pêcheur Très calme

Rien il faut savoir qu'il n'y a pas d'eau chaude sinon super guesthouse

Vriendelijke eigenaar! Fijn bed!

/

Nice and quiet and away from town. The sounds of the jungle were always nice to sleep and wake up to. The three animals (two dogs and one cat) were super cute and friendly! The room was spacious and was very new. Hiriketiya Beach, the shops and restaurants were just a short walk away.

A lovely room and large terrace, set in a lush garden. We spotted a lot of wildlife just sitting there on the terrace. Friendly family running it who made lovely Sri Lankan breakfasts for us. Cute cat & dogs too! It's location is tucked away in the jungle but nearby to the beach and lots of restaurants. Can recommend!

A bit more furniture to unpack our clothes etc could have been nice for a longer stay. But that's just a small thing.

Quiet homestay, comfortable beds. Less than 10 minutes walk to the beach.

Nice location, really friendly family and chill that we had an outside spot to relax a bit. Very close to the beach. Would recommend.
