Mahagedara Dickwella

Het ligt in het drukke centrum van Dickwella maar zodra je de poort door gaat richting de accommodatie kom je in een oase van rust! Mooie tuin met veel dieren (vogels, leguanen, gekko’s, apen. Echt prachtig! Alles is netjes en schoon. Minu, de eigenaar doet er alles aan om het naar je zin te maken.

Alles beviel ons!

Todo, el lugar es un remanso de paz donde puedes huir del ruido de la ciudad. El desayuno riquísimo, La habitación es muy cómoda y sobre todo destacaría la hospitalidad y la amabilidad de los dueños, una experiencia de 10!

Todo bien :)

Sehr freundliches Personal. Unser Zimmer war klimatisiert, sehr sauber (das neueste Bad, das wir in Sri Lanka je hatten!) und relativ komfortabel. Das Hotel liegt etwas "versteckt" in einer Seitenstraße - daher schön ruhig, eingebettet in einen kleinen, liebevoll gestalteten Garten mit (lieben) Affen. Frühstück lecker und auch ansonsten hat alles prima gepasst. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt! Mit dem tuk tuk braucht man etwa 7 Minuten ins "Zentrum" von Hiriketya bzw an den Hiriketya Beach. Zum Dickwella Beach kann man in 10-15 Minuten entspannt laufen :)

Keine Möglichkeit, das Fenster zu öffnen aufgrund der vielen Mücken und fehlendem Mückennetz - dadurch bleibt das Zimmer dauerhaft dunkel. Ist aber nicht weiter schlimm, wenn man sich dort nicht viel aufhält.

Good value for money: good location, clean room with hot water, nice breakfast and helpful host on whatsapp. It is just off the main road so you do not hear the traffic at night.

The staff working there spoke little English but honestly, not a problem for me because they were very friendly and helpful. Fyi: no mosquito net.

I loved this beautiful and unique house, right in the middle of a busy Dickwella town, yet hidden away in a garden behind a street gate so it becomes like a quite oasis after chaos of the town. Only minutes walk to one of my favourite beaches, with fishing boats and away from any crowds. If you want to spend time in fun surf beach Hiriketiya, it’s only 15min walk from here. I enjoyed having breakfast in the house with monkeys playing around and sounds of nature. Rooms are comfortable and nice. I would certainly be back!

- leicht abseits von der Hauptstraße und somit ruhiger - sehr bequemes Bett - schönes, großes Outdoor-Bad - gutes Frühstück - viele local Geschäfte und Restaurants fußläifig und sehr günstig

- Zimmertür und offenes Bad direkt beim Frühstücksplatz (aber nur unser Zimmer) - schlechte WLAN Verbindung

The owner is very friendly! The location was nice, might be hard to find the entrance but super close from the beach!

Super fijne locatie, vlakbij Dickwella strand. Al moet je wel stukje lopen richting de gezelligheid op het strand zelf. Lekker ontbijt en super lieve mensen.

Kamer was beetje mager, geen meubels ofzo om je spullen op te zetten. De advertentie klopte ook niet helemaal qua omschrijving. Moeilijk te vinden de eerste keer.

Our stay at mahagedara was absolutely wonderful! The property is beautifully surrounded by nature, offering complete peace and relaxation. The villa was spotless and very well maintained, making it feel like home from the moment we arrived. It’s also excellent value for money compared to other places we’ve stayed. The host “Minu” was extremely friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything we needed. Breakfast was simply amazing – fresh, delicious, and the perfect start to a day. And the beach is just 5 minutes from here. Highly recommend this place.

Super schöne Unterkunft. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker und vielfältig :) Der Gastgeber war super nett und hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns hier sehr wohl und wie zuhause gefühlt

It is in central location but tucked away from the main road, we slept really well. The breakfast is superb, probably the best we had during our trip in Sri Lanka! Room is super clean and bed is comfortable, we also loved the garden! The owner is really kind and hospitable.

Maybe a small cabinet in the room for storage would be nice.

Nice location and staf is super helpful. Location nearby beach. After an item was lost during laundry the owner made sure it was send to our next homestay. No hot water and bit difficult to find as its tucked away on a road with no sign.

The staff were incredible and went above and beyond to support us after a medical issue arose. They were so attentive and considerate and really looked after us. The accommodation is lovely and peaceful, and the gardens are very beautiful - we especially loved having breakfast with the monkeys! Thank you for a very memorable stay.

The room en bathroom are perfectly clean. The host and staff are really nice, work hard and do there best to let you have a good time. Soothing and quit house, in a busy street, but you dont notice that. Very peaceful.

On arrival little bit hard to find, but the owner inmediately came to guide us to the wright direction!

Clean with good working AC. Amazing greeting and very good breakfast.

Water pressure in the sink.

This place was completely spotless, which was even better as I had to leave my previous accomodation early due to uncleanliness. This is a family run business and the owners are super nice and really helpful. The breakfast was great, with a view of monkeys climbing the trees while you eat! The bed was comfy and the bathroom was clean. This place is great value for money, would recommend.

Having a sign outside the property along the road would be super helpful. It's quite hard to find, especially at night. The location is a little bit removed from the activity area but that suits some people!

Breakfast is fit for kings. Laundry and pressing services. Cleanliness unmatched and surpasses leading hotels. There's a beautiful patio, garden, lounge with TV and we loved using all these spaces for work, exercise and chilling in the day time. Bathrooms are massive and well equipped. The host and staff is amazing and provide you all sorts of support as a tourist and always available smiling. There's a kitchen where you can prepare your own meals, coffee and a fridge.

No sound proofing and lots of monkeys wake you up early morning by jumping on the roof. No netting on windows and doors we were bit by mosquitoes. Need cupboards and storage in rooms.

Enclosed gem within the city. Minu was an amazing host. The whole place is really chill and clean The rooms are well equipped with AC, hairdryer, comfy bed, amazing welcome, extraordinary breakfast.

It’s very cozy and clean. It’s not a huge property you feel like in home and away from the noisy streets. Breakfast options are basic and delicious too. Enjoyed the breakfast table looking at the monkeys on the trees.

We had a nice stay and its not too far from the beach. You can rent a scooter directly from the host.

There are no real windows so its eather dark inside or you open the wooden windows and let the heat an moskitos in..

The host was super friendly and helpful, breakfast was really good.

Nothing.

The host and staff were lovely and caring, the accommodation itself was new, clean and just pretty! It was like an oasis in the middle of Dickwella- very calm and silent, because the house is located kind of in the second row of the houses. A nice escape from the loud traffic on the street. On top, the breakfast was very delicious! Really enjoyed our stay, thank you!

Nothing

Amazing quiet location in the middle of Dikwella. Beach is only a couple minutes away. Good breakfast and lots of cool animals: monkeys having breakfast next to us, giant squirrel, squirrels. Amazingly friendly host

This is my 2nd stay,I came last year also,minu&his staff very helpful, breakfast was very good also 👌

No complaints to think of.

Everything was clean and tidy! Stunning place and good location and of course best host ever 🥰 We will definitely visit Minus place again!! For us hi is not a host anymore but a friend we have in Sri Lanka! 🫶🏼

The breakfast

The bathroom had ants

Really nice place to stay. Like to sleap in the middle of junglle, but with air condition at modern house.

No suit case or other place for clothes and other stuff.

Very nice stay in this little oasis from the busy Dickwella high street. It is close to Dickwella beach (not Hiri where the surfers are). The host Minu is very hospitable. Rooms are spacious and AC, bed very comfortable. The garden and terrace is lush, with monkets and birds you can enjoy from your morning breakfast.

I would have preferred morning light in the bedroom. Also the location wasn't close enough to Hiri surf beach for me, but that that's just personal preference.

nice room, very clean accommodation in general, water pressure is good, no humidity or smell in the room, Minu was very kind and helped us when needed

Rather expensive, the breakfast is way too small, location is okey (10 minutes from the nice beach and 25 minutes from Hiriketiya) but hard to find at first

The property is amazing. Massive garden areas front and back. Plenty of space if you want to chill outside. Shared areas and the rooms are super clean and tidy. Best place for the buck. Host is super friendly, helpful, reliable and trustworthy. Highly recommended 100%. Definitely coming back when we are visiting Hiriketiya again!

Stunning place, great location and excellent host!

We really liked our stay in Mahagedara Dickwella, the place is amazing. The atmosphere is chill and the rooms and bathroom are very clean, new and modern. The breakfast is amazing, we still miss the delicious fresh bread and morning smoothie. The owner is extremly nice and helpful. Definitely one of our favorite places, we stayed in during our one month in Sri Lanka.

More storage for the clothes in the room would be nice , especially for the people who are staying longer.

Perfect stay, minu, the host, such a lovely guy, Everything clean, great service, location, just perfect See you again the next time!!

Manu is a great host! The rooms are simple but clean and confortable. Breakfast were very good.

The house was difficult to find when we arrived. They are no sign so you have to figure out with google. Also, it’s not in a tourist area… it’s on a very busy street but since the house is a little far from the street, it’s very calm and you feel safe!

Excellent we recommend it.

Everything is new and so clean! Minu has decorated the place so beautifully, he was an amazing host and helped me so much ☺️ The location is great, not far too Hiriketiya and on a main road but back from it - it’s so peaceful and like a jungle. Breakfast was so good every day too!

Nothing ☺️ thank you for a lovely stay!

We did like everything! Minu was a great and welcoming host. The day we were leaving we had to leave at 6am, so Minu did wake up, made us a coffee and even gave a bag with breakfast. 😱 How cool is that! The house is in private place, so there is a lot of nature and very less traffic sound. The apartments itself has a spirit, as there are some pictures, statues,etc., but it didn't feel old and rusty as it is very nicely designed. The room was clean and comfy. There are 2 pillows, one is harder and another one softer, so finally we could have a good sleep

We really enjoyed our stay at Minu's homestay. The house was newly renovated, clean, and very beautiful-- it is in the centre of bustling Dickwella, but it is set back from the road and feels like you are in a quiet jungle paradise! Minu made a nice breakfast for us every morning, and he even organised a scooter for us to rent for the day.

There was no hot water for the showers, which is not unusual for Sri Lankan homestays.

The house is a very nice and private. It is located near the grocery’s and everything you might need and the place is quite. It takes 10-15 minutes to go to the beach. The common space is cosy and the room is clean and comfortable. Minu is a really hospitable and kind person. He served an excellent breakfast and allowed me to use the kitchen. I will totally stay here again when I come back to Dikwella Thank you, Minu!

Maybe some furniture for the storage of my staff might be nice
