The Village Home

Super lieve mensen! De kamer was schoon en bedden heerlijk. Ook klamboes. Veel opslagplaats. Goede prijs kwaliteitsverhouding :-)

De badkamer was wat minder. Geen warm water en een lamp die niet uit kan. Het raam kon niet goed sluiten dus al snel muggen daar. Horgaas voor het raam zou super geweest zijn.

Sehr nette Besitzer, Essen war sehr gut

ein bisschen warm im Zimmer aber sonst alles bestens

I liked the room. room was clean and fan was perfect!making the house fresh! I liked the breakfast the 2nd and 3rd day- as it was very a proper Sri Lankan experience - hoppers and coconut pancakes.

breakfast first day I didn't like. it was average (and boring) American pancakes with chocolate and very few pieces of fruit. also is bad tea and coffees arrive a lot later than food.

Nice room! Very clean :)

La chambre est propre et spacieuse. Le couple qui tient l’établissement est aux petits soins et très gentil. L’établissement est à 10/15 minutes à pied de la plage dans une ruelle calme. Le petit déjeuner est très bon

The peaceful atmosphere was perfect and we specially enjoyed being so close to the very beautiful beaches in down south ,it really added to the experience in blue beach and Hiriketiya.

Nice and good location in quiet area, the puppy Ollie is super cute and the owners are lovely people

The beds were nice, location was quiet (but you need a scooter), owners were friendly,

The bathroom was for sure not great (stinky)

Shashi and her husband were very kind and welcoming. Very clean and peaceful house with a beautiful garden surrounded by the jungle, 10 min walk from the beach. Homemade breakfast served every day. Comfy room with good internet. Their little dog Holy is adorable!

It's a lovely family and a nice home. Everything is clean. The family gave us a warm welcome. We stayed in a small room, but it's absolutely fine. Because you can relaxe in the garden. It's perfect reachable via bike. But we also walked the way from hiriketiya.

One of our favourite stays. This was a last minute booking so booked a room with no ac and with shared toilet which is fine, clean bathroom and it did eventually get cooler in the night. Owned by gorgeous couple and their little puppy we felt really cared for and looked after. Clean comfortable :)

Absolutely loved this place. Very friendly couple and their little puppy Oli. They made us a fresh breakfast each morning - papaya, banana, pancakes, roti, tea, coffee… The homestay was very peaceful and chilled, but other travellers were also very friendly. The walk to Hiriketiya beach was around 15 minutes, so nicely set back in nature (gorg walk to the beach), but also very convenient. You could get to restaurants within 5 mins. There were sunloungers outside which was great to relax. Also lines outside to dry clothes. Would definitely come back if I were in the area, and would recommend.

The people were incredibly nice, best hosts we have ever had!

We had a lovely stay here. Everything was clean, the wifi was good, room was perfect. Owners were so kind and cooked a very yummy Sri Lankan breakfast. Property is on a quiet road away from noise. Highly recommend!

I had the best stay, the hostel is amazing, super chill vibes and the rooms are really cleans and quiet. It is super well located and the owners are SOOOOO nice, I recommend. Breakfast is so good as well, I absolutely loved my stay here, go there without doubting it one second, you will be welcomed so good. Everything was so perfect and so clean.

Nothing

One of the most amazing places we have been so far. Location excellent. The couple hosting us were the most hospitable and helpful. Always with a smile and advices for our trip. Big breakfast and amazing coffee made by our lady host. The room clean and big, the garden/sitting area beautiful,bathroom better than any we have seen since today, and a special surprise…they have the cutest puppy of all Sri Lanka. We recommend it highly and would for sure visit again.

Everything exceeded our expectations! No negatives!

Clean; mosquito net, comfortable bed; nice owners

No hot water; small breakfast; 20 min walk to the nearest beach; no private bathroom

very nice stuff, clean room, comfortable bed

the bathroom is always damp because of not so good drainage, the breakfast could be nicer.

I loved staying here so much that i am extending and staying one month. I went all around hiriketiya looking for places to stay and after being here, nothing compares. The energy in this place is so nice, and the lovely couple who owns it are the nicest people you will ever meet. They are super friendly and are always making sure i am okay and helping me if i need something. Every morning a home cooked breakfast, so delicious! Everything is really clean, bed is very comfortable, water pressure in the shower is good, nice space, many places to sit inside and outside. The location is perfect, walking distance away from most places and also far enough away that you can’t hear the main road traffic. It’s surrounded by beautiful nature, and surprisingly no misquotes! The list goes on to how much I like it here:)

Nothing:)

Really lovely stay! The host was very kind and cooked us a delicious breakfast every morning. She even greeted us with a welcome drink which I thought was a lovely touch. The room and bathroom was very spacious and clean. It’s also in a great location being walking distance to the beach and restaurants. Would highly recommend! 😊

La casa es muy bonita y muy limpia. El desayuno buenísimo y la pareja que lo lleva encantadores. Una maravilla. Everything perfect and the owmers very nice and helpfull people.

Very comfortable stay and very friendly family. Breakfast was very nice and the room was clean. The location was a bit far from the beach it was very tranquil and we had a great sleep without noise.

The window curtains were a little see-through so they didn't offer too much privacy.

Nice place. Highly recommend. 🤩🤩

Good

- lovely family, great breakfast (everyday something different), welcome drink - wifi available, not always working but mostly yes - comfortable rooms and toilet, everything super clean - indoor and outdoor chill area

- one minor thing, they have glass door to the rooms so if someone is in the common area and the light is on, it’s not so easy to fall asleep, but that’s easily fixed with dark curtains (they have light curtains in the doors)

Our experience at The Village Home was wonderful, offering exceptional service at a very reasonable price.

The house was in a great location, just 8 minutes within a walking distance to the center. It was very clean and big, with comfortable beds and a nice dining room. The bathrooms were also good! The housemates were a lovely couple, that offered us traditional Sri Lankan coffee as a welcoming treat, a wonderful gesture! They also have huge speakers that the guests can use to play some music! The breakfast was really nice, different than expected!

The beds where very comfortable & the house very cozy, we liked staying a little more outside the lively area. Only 12 minutes walking distance to Hiriketiya beach and 25 to Dickwella beach. Or you can ask the family to fix you a tuktuk for a good price. The family that owned the place was super friendly and we absolutely looooved the local breakfast served every morning. Thank you for that! We were very happy about this accommodation!!

Nothing we cared about, but the room was on the smaller side and mosquitoes came in though the open bathroom window and therefore sometimes in the room. But there was mosquito nets attached to the beds, so there was no problem. Overall a problem in Sri Lanka & nothing to worry about.

Honestly, the worst night we had in Sri Lanka. I didn’t sleep all night because there was a dog living in that very thin material making an attic (at first we didn’t know whether its a dog or a person). The owner didn’t do anything about it when we reported it in the evening so it was a sleepless night for us. We didn’t hear any word of explanation in the morning neither. So even tho the breakfast was good and ladies making it very lovely, I can’t leave a good review.

The Village Home was within walking distance of the beach, had friendly and helpful hosts and breakfast was tasty and plentiful.
