Wilson's Place

Wunderschöne und neu gebaute Unterkunft etwas abseits des Trubels. Trotzdem ist man schnell im Ort und am Strand. Die Aussicht von der Terrasse ist toll und das Zimmer war das komfortabelste unserer gesamten Reise. Insbesondere das Badezimmer ist richtig toll. Auf jeden Fall sehr zu empfehlen!

Perfect place to be outside the heat of Hiriketiya. There is supposed to be an island where you can walk to, but it was too rainy (off season) to go there and I was there just one day. They are extremely quick in responding. I had to check in early and they made it possible as off immediately. Also with getting transportation to the beach they were very helpful. The garden is amazing. The furnishment of the room. I would especially recommend the place for long term stay.

Absolutely Nothing.

Well maintained and love the aesthetics! Staff were super friendly and helpful. Definitely would recommend

Amazing hotel, great location. The room was perfect, and the staff very kind.

Great stay, lovely hotel and room. Staff were great. Relaxed environment.

Heel fijn verblijf met een super vriendelijke gastheer.

Kamers

Keurige kamer en smaakvol bewerkte plafonds. Vriendelijk personeel en eigenaar Rumesh staan altijd klaar voor tips. Zijn broer brengt je overal heen met zijn TukTuk met de grootste lach van Sri Lanka

In de badkamer een randje bij de douche. Even goed opletten

Very beautifull, close to the beach. Very friendly staff. We rented good scooters. Higly recomended !!!

Everything - The host Rumesh was extremely helpful and kind, the hotel was beautiful inside and out with an amazing location!

Amazing property! Clean, fresh and great value. I’d definitely stay here again.

Zo mooi! Prachtige kamers en super schoon. Echt een mooi verblijf. Vooral de bovenste verdieping heeft ook een prachtig plafond.

Everything it simply perfect

Can't fault it

We loved out stay at Wilson’s place. For us it was in a perfect location about 10 minutes walk to the centre. The rooms were beautiful and incredibly clean. Rumesh and all his siblings were perfect hosts and helped us with any questions we had. You won’t regret staying here!

Nothing, it was perfect

The property was beautiful, and had a beautiful history behind it which was explained in a very helpful tourist guide. It was exceptionally clean, spacious and thoughtfully designed. The location was excellent, a very short walk from the main hiriketiya beach, with monkeys, lizards, dogs and cats along the walk and property. Everybody in and around the hotel was super friendly. It was our anniversary during our stay and they made it extra special by decorating the room. Air con was spot on, we even got cold!!! - best air con of the trip. Couldn’t have wished for a better place to stay. We even met Wilson, whom the hotel is named after! A super wholesome stay.

Perfect location for walking to the main beach in Hiriketiya. Gorgeous rooftop for sunsets and the rooms were clean and spacious. The staff were very accommodating and kind, they helped us with all of our needs including renting mopeds.

Really friendly staff and the place is very well designed. The room itself is great.

Mooie plek, ruime kamer, fijn bed.

De locatie is wat verder van Hiriketiya af. Het is prima te lopen maar in de hitte kan een tuktuk soms fijn zijn.

Wonderful property a short walk from Hiriketiya beach. Loved Ginger the cat!

N/A

Prachtige kamers met oog voor detail. Douches waren heerlijk met hoge waterdruk, prachtig uitzicht vanop het balkon, zalige bedden en zeer goede faciliteiten. Het was puur genieten om hier te verblijven, ik denk dat je altijd het gevoel zult hebben dat je langer had moeten boeken. Als je kan, kies een kamer op de bovenste verdieping, daar zul je absoluut geen spijt van hebben!

really large comfortable rooms with huge bathroom and lovely decor .Best air con on the trip ! Staff were so friendly and helpful and gave us some great tips for the area. We loved the location . A 10 min walk into the main area of town in a lovely quiet lane way . Traditional cafe across the road for breakfast . Lovely lawn area out the front where you can sit , also balcony area is lovely to relax on . the accommodations dog and cat are a real bonus if you are an animal lover.. they are so sweet and often greet you at the gate . Transportation can be organised for you too if needed .

We absolutely loved our stay here. The building and the rooms are delightful and everything is really well thought through.

Beautiful room and serene building its unique and has a different elegant feel and excellent attention to detail and finishes.

El alojamiento es muy cómodo, súper limpio con amplios espacios. Nos tocó la habitación de arriba que tiene buenas vistas al mar. Pero además, cuenta con una terraza donde puedes ver mejores vistas, mientras practicas yoga o simplemente disfrutar del espacio. Y sobretodo , el diseño es increíble!!! Un pasada! Muy recomendable!

Nada en particular.

Belle chambre, bel hôtel. Le personnel est réactif et souriant.

Pas de petit déjeuner pour le prix.

Mooi gebouw, heerlijke tuin, fijne kamer

Niets

Nice room, clean, great service

Heerlijke plek om te verblijven, ruime kamer en in de rust.

De locatie is wat ver van het centrum. Met onze eigen tuktuk was het wel ideaal!

Extremely welcoming hosts, clean room and delicious breakfast, Thank you

The room was lovely.

Compated to the other Sri Lankan hotels we stayed in, Wilsons Place is a bit expensive. Given its relatively high price its disappointing not to have breakfast included.

sehr schöne unterkunft, sehr sauber, schöner garten, nette angestellte, alles top, kleiner tipp: direkt daneben ist ein super gutes, kleines Restaurant namens cafe shana für alle mahlzeiten

Such a beautiful place, lovely garden with great rooms. Very spacious and clean. They helped organise tuk tuks if needed and were always on hand to answer any questions. About a 7 min walk to Hiriketiya beach but nice to be out of the main centre. Thank you!

Nothing

Location was brilliant. Just a 10 min walk to the beach. The room was gorgeous spec, big and really clean. Such friendly and welcoming staff - I’d only wish we’d stayed longer!

Las pinturas de los techos y lo alto de estos.

Great building, modern and good WiFi and the host was very helpful and always able to assist

Had 3 power cuts over our 4 night stay which was really inconvenient but not the property’s fault. Just something worth noting. Location was good not great

Beautiful property!! Thoughtfully designed with amazing beautiful painted ceilings – even in our room! Each floor has a long shared balcony/terrace the rooms open onto so we had somewhere lovely to hang out with a lovely ocean view and so many birds monkeys – and the peacocks! The staff were brillant, helping us get petrol, laundry etc. Vishwa who took care of anything we needed was brilliant – he helped us hire a scooter, get a driver for our next hotel, very speedy laundry even after we'd checked out! There's no breakfast or food amenities on site really but this is not an issue and actually ideal - Hiri has a million amazing places to eat, get a lovely coffee etc so you wouldn't want to be tied to breakfast with your hotel. There's a reason this places books up fast, it's such a relaxing vibe but with so many beautiful touches that make it feel luxurious too! We'll be back, thank you!

Wilsons place var utrolig fint. Anbefales! Veldig fin plassering, fin utsikt og fine rom. Sengene var behagelige, det var høyt under taket og fine malerier i taket. Det var veldig fint å sitte på kvelden å se utsikten fra balkongen. Veldig fint med drikkevann lett tilgjengelig og Rumesh var tilgjengelig og behjelpelig. Han hjalp med å arrangere safari, kom med tips til spisesteder og booket flyplasstransport. Det var kort vei til stranda og restauranter. På veien kunne man se påfugl og aper! Var også nære blue beach som var veldig fint stef.

Beautifull building, rooms and location, staff is very friendly and helpfull. We especially loved the story behind the accommodation, the owner is local and the ground was owned by his family for generations. Super beautifully decorated and very close to the beach! :)

Bij Wilson’s Place was alles dik in orde! De rustige ligging is perfect want op 10 minuten lopen naar zowel het pittoreske Blue Beach, alsmede naar Hiriketya Beach en het centrum met zijn vele restaurantjes. Opvallend aan dit verblijf waren de prachtige plafondschilderingen op de tweede verdieping, zowel in de kamers als op het terras! Er staan watertappuntenHet personeel was bijzonder vriendelijk en behulpzaam! We zijn zeker van plan naar Hiriketya terug te keren en dan zeker weer naar Wilson’s Place!

Eigenlijk niets, maar de warmwatervoorziening draait op zonnecollectoren, dus bij bewolkt weer moet je het wel eens zonder warme douche doen. Nog een klein puntje, de gordijnen zijn niet lichtwerend, dus bij zonsopgang komt het daglicht naar binnen..

Groot bed met een grote klamboe en een leuk zitje buiten. De rooftop was prima!

De prijs klopte echt niet. Wij betaalden de hoofdprijs 80 euro per nacht! De betonvloer op onze kamer zag er erg vies uit, maar dat bleek indertijd een chemische reactie geweest te zijn in de vloer! Zie foto

Decoration was really nice. Comfortable bed. Nice and quiet.

All through Sri Lanka in smaller home stays you get a welcome drink. It would be nice if they did small touches like this. Felt a bit overpriced for what it was but it was a really nice place to stay.

Rumesh has built a fantastic property, rooms are airy and very comfortable. Garden area with hammocks to relax and read. Staff were very helpful. They will complete a restaurant by end of 2026 which will be a good option for breakfast and dinner., although plenty of cafes and restaurants close by. Location is around 10-15minute walk to edge of Hiritekiya beach, so it is in the quiet area, which was fine for us. Plenty of Tuk tuks to get around.

Nothing, but perhaps a small outdoor pool may be a good option to quickly cool off.

Heel schoon, fijne kamer, goed bed, mooi uitzicht.

Iets verder van het centrum, maar goed te doen met tuktuk. Houd je ramen dicht, anders word je ‘‘s ochtends wakker van de honden en pauwen.

Die Zimmer sind so geräumig, der Blick vom Balkon und der Dachterrasse unbezahlbar!

eine etwas dickere Decke wäre im der zweiten nacht toll gewesen

Beautiful property set just a short walk from the main beach so felt very peaceful. Clean and comfortable with lovely staff. Would definitely come back!

Nothing

Prachtige kamer in een mooie stijl. Goede badkamer. Heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. De laundry service was top! 700m vanaf het strand. Een leuk boekje met tips en een stukje over de bouw, erg leuk gedaan.

Niets

Prachtig hotel, super fijne plek op precies de perfecte loopafstand van het gezellige centrum. Heerlijke ruime badkamer. De eigenaar was voldoende zichtbaar om dingen te kunnen vragen. Snorkel materiaal kunnen huren voor een goede prijs.

Helaas was het matras erg haard en het laken erg kort. Als dit wel goed was geweest verdient dit hotel zeker een 10!

Fantastisk sted! Første hotel vi har været på i Sri Lanka hvor stedet er pænere end billederne👌😊 Vi havde tre dejlige dage, hvor vi nød roen og de fine omgivelser. Alt på hotellet er virkelig fint og meget flot! Hotellet ligger i stille omgivelser og det eneste du hører er havet og påfuglene. Der er kun 10 minutters gang til stranden og byen. Vi vil elske at komme tilbage🥰

Heerlijke grote kamer en badkamer. Fijn bed en lekker terras voor je kamer. Vooral de stijl, hoge deuren en plafond is een bonus.

Wat geluidsoverlast (werk remote op de kamer) door verbouwing.

Štýl zariadenia, čistota ubytovania a záhrada.

Všetko bolo v poriadku

The place is much more beautiful than the pictures show. The room was big and comfortable with a beautiful view. Staff was friendly and helpful. The location was also nice as we didnt mind the 10 min walk to the town. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

Nothing.

Ruime kamers, heerlijk bed

So lovely to return again. We had another blissful stay - thank you Rumesh for your hospitality. Fantastic to see the new third floor with amazing painted ceilings and top floor yoga shala with sea views.

Rumesh and the staff were great...always available and helpful when needed. The accommodation is beautiful & relaxing. The large shared balcony is a great place to sit. The room is spacious and nicely decorated. It's a 10-15 minute walk to the beach but we knew this at the time of booking. But it's a trade-off as the closer you are to the beach the busier it gets. In our view the extra walk is well worth it to stay at such great accommodations.

The design of the place, it was paint by an artist. Its a family business, the brothers works together. They take good care of me. I rent my scooter with them. Everything was easy. And i really appreciate the document they give with everything there is to do around plus history of Wilson place

Everything was great, room was clean, good AC, area was nice and calm. Staff was excellent. Wish we could have stayed here longer.

Rumesh kümmert sich unfassbar gut um seine Gäste, er ist zu jeder Zeit erreichbar und hatte auf all unsere Anfragen immer eine Antwort/ Empfehlung parat. Wir leihten uns einen Scooter über ihn und er organisierte auch sonst den Transfer von/zur Unterkunft. In einem kleinen Booklet im Zimmer hatte er alle Tipps & Infos zur Umgebung zusammengefasst - das war super hilfreich! Das Zimmer an sich ist richtig schön, sehr gute AC und modernes stylisches Bad. Wir haben sogar spontan noch eine Nacht verlängern können, weil es uns so gut gefallen hat 🚀

This place is absolutely stunning, the best hotel I have stayed at so far in Sri Lanka and by far the most aesthetically pleasing. It’s given me ideas for how to style my house back home it was that nice. The staff are so friendly and helpful, and the hand painted artwork on the top floor ceiling is stunning. The bed is super comfortable and the soaps & shampoos smell amazing. I cannot recommend this place enough of your staying in Hiriketiya.

Not one single thing.

Het personeel was echt fantastisch. Onwijs vriendelijk en heel relaxt. De kamer was waanzinnig, heel erg schoon, ruim, lekker bed en mooi ingericht. De locatie was ook super. Het was op loopafstand van het strand en je kan een scooter huren bij het hotel.

Niks

Wilsons place was great! Clean and spacious rooms. 10 min walk to the beach. Great view from top floors.

The house is nice, although there is a construction site right next to it.

construction site right next to it

Lovely spot, peaceful but near the action. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was well presented and a tea/coffee station as well as drinking water on tap, enhanced the stay

Bit of a climb from the beach up a steep road, but nothing major

De kamer is echt prachtig: luxe, stijlvol ingericht, heel schoon en ontzettend comfortabel. Het bed ligt heerlijk en het interieur is met veel smaak gedaan. Wij zaten bovenin en hadden een mooi uitzicht op zee, wat echt een pluspunt is. De douche is ook erg fijn — tenminste, als er warm water is. De locatie is rustig, wat prettig is, maar binnen minder dan 10 minuten lopen sta je al op het drukke Hiriketiya Beach. Al met al een heel mooie plek met luxe kamers, maar gezien de prijs hadden we net wat meer service en comfort verwacht.

Bij aankomst was het even zoeken naar de receptie, die niet staat aangegeven en zich op de bovenste etage bevindt. Dat voelde wat onhandig en zorgde niet echt voor een warm welkom. Voor deze prijs verwacht je toch iets meer ontvangst, bijvoorbeeld een welkomstdrankje. Houd er wel rekening mee dat je ’s nachts geluiden hoort van blaffende honden en pauwen die flink kunnen krijsen — oordoppen zijn geen overbodige luxe. Helaas hadden wij tijdens ons verblijf van vier nachten twee avonden geen warm water, wat voor deze prijsklasse echt een minpunt is. Daarnaast vonden wij het jammer dat er geen zwembad is.

Great value for money, the room was comfortable and clean, he provided filtered water which is always a plus. Great breakfast place across the road.

A bit of a walk to the closest beach, but this meant is was more calm soo not really a big negative

Superb care from Romesh

Might need a pool at some stage

Loved our stay here - the rooms are lovely and with a huge bathroom and the staff were so friendly. It’s a great location too - walking distance to the beach and all the bars and restaurants but lovely and peaceful too.

Nothing

Vishwa, the manager, is excellent, very helpful, responsive, and pleasant to deal with. The place is well designed, has a nice view, and is located within walking distance to the beach, different restaurants and coffee shops

Clean and calm place

Værelset var rigtig fint og rent, og dejligt med tørresnor i haven til vådt badetøj og håndklæder

Vi boede på værelset ud mod vejen og oplevede lidt larm fra TukTuk der måtte gasse op for at komme op ad bakken, men det var til at holde ud.

The property was modern and clean. The room was so spacious and bathroom was immaculate. Outside our room was a water fountain and coffee/tea station free to use for guests which really made a difference. Location was good, just a short walk from the main beach and all the restaurants. The building has the most beautiful sunset views. The owner, Rumesh, went above and beyond to meet all our needs. We had a late flight so he kept our bags so we could enjoy our last day to the fullest. He even offered for us to shower so we’d be fresh for the airport. Rumesh organised our taxi too. Vishwa was really friendly and so helpful with organising bags and places to go and see.

Nothing at all. We would go back in a heartbeat.

Wunderschöne Unterkunft mit perfekten Meerblick vom Zimmer aus. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hat uns immer geholfen wenn wir Taxi, Ausflüge oder weiteres benötigten.

The staff was so incredibly friendly & helpful. Our room & facilities were great & everything was very clean. The place really had a welcoming, homie feel to it & we were so happy to return there after spending time outside. We rented a bike from the property for the full 3 days we spent there, but they can also help you arrange tuk tuks or taxis as you need it. The location was just outside the hustle & bustle of Hiriketiya center, which we prefered because it was still super close & within walking distance. Shower towels & beach towels provided by the property as well.

The recent construction was just completed, and the results are fantastic. We loved the clean, modern rooms, the new yoga rooftop, and the incredible views. Rumesh is a superb host—highly efficient with scooter rentals and full of great local insights. A huge thanks to Rumesh, Vishwa, and Sahan for their genuine hospitality. A highlight was Vishwa bringing us a special local water hyacinth porridge just because we expressed interest in it. Highly recommended!

Nothing

Rumesh and staff are pleasant. There is an information booklet that they have curated with everything you'd need to know , from the restaurants and supermarkets to where to go if medical attention is required . It also has a contact number for a tuktuk which was very handy and which we used to get to dinner and back. Scooters are also available for hire if required. Loved that we had all the amenities in the bathroom specially bodywash,conditioner and shampoo in generous sizes.Our room was upstairs and had a balcony and I believe it is a bit more private than downstairs. Cleanliness was top.

Charming, peaceful and friendly

A littl

Alles war neu, die Zimmer und Badezimmer schön eingerichtet. Alles waren super freundlich und immer erreichbar.

Der Weg nach Hiriketiya ist nicht beleuchtet - da habe ich mit teilweise etwas unwohl gefühlt. Die Unterkunft ist wirklich sehr schön, aber auch relativ teuer.
