La Luna Hiriketiya

Downstairs restaurant, the ambiance, proximity to the beach.

Please tell staff to not play ambient music with AI generated lyrics. People are sick of these. We nearly thought to go somewhere else for breakfast just to avoid the music.

Perfect location right next to the beach and many nice restaurants and bars. Breakfast was absolutely amazing and the best we had during our trip, you could choose any beverage or breakfast item from the La Luna menu. If you do not stay at this accommodation I would still recommend to come here for breakfast! Staff was very kind and made sure we had enough water and anything we needed during our stay.

Although lovely, the room was slightly worn out with many things a little bit broken or run-down. For example, you could see there had been leakages in the roof, the bed sheets were torn and the bathroom floor had a wide variety of stains. In addition, there was no fridge in room, which would have been nice to have cold water. For the price of the room I would have expected better.

La ubicación ! El restaurante muy lindo también !

No estaba muy limpio. No tenía blackout ni siquiera unas cortinas en la ventana de la parte superior de la cama.

Location was unreal. 2 seconds to the beach and an easy walk to any of the shops / restaurants in town.

Our room was pretty small for 4 people . The bathroom door didn’t close so it got pretty smelly pretty quickly.

Hotellet ligger precis i korsningen mellan huvudgatan och stranden och är alltid busy och mycket centralt. Det är ett stort rum med AC som har nära till allt och det finns en ATM precis utanför. Frukosten var ok, speciellt smoothie bowl som var stor och god!

Rummet var inte rent, det var dammigt och det fanns djur inomhus. Det kändes ofärdigt och gammalt med synliga rör och trasig badrumsdörr. Det var en tropisk (giftig) centipede som bodde på mitt rum, vilket tyder på fuktigt, ruttet trä och dålig städning. Ingen ordentlig incheckning, personalen såg bara förvirrad ut att jag var där, och de svarade knappt på frågor trots att de var många som jobbade samtidigt. Under de tre nätter som jag bodde där städades rummet inte en enda gång. De tömde inte ens papperskorgen på toaletten. Bästa servicen var under frukost då jag åtminstone fick ett leende från en anställd. Såg ingen manager och ingen som frågade om jag behövde hjälp. Mycket udda ställe som var det dyraste och sämsta jag bodde på under tre veckor i Sri Lanka. Rekommenderar inte! Bo hos en familj istället eller högre upp på de små vindlande vägarna i byn.

Exactly as the photos, very clean and location was amazing

Staff were not very friendly/helpful

Really friendly and helpful staff, amazing location, lovely rooms and great food and atmosphere.

Nothing- this was my second stay at La Luna and I’d definitely return again in the future!

Beautiful room, great breakfast, great location!

Check in was a bit slow, but it was fine. The staff is super nice and very helpful.

The location was amazing across the road from the beach. Beautiful breakfast and coffee, and welcome drink. The super early morning staff very helpful (garden cleaner)

Bathroom door very hard to open and close, water on first day only, no tea or coffee in room (kettle only) had to purchase from then on. Conditioner bottle was empty. Blockout curtains are needed, there was light coming through all night.For the money I felt the accomodation was a let down we expected more as this was the most expensive place we stayed in Sri Lanka and was offered much better hospitable service for half the price.

It was a great experience. Very attentive staff and it is just across from the beach

This is the place to stay when you are in Hiriketiya, a little pricier than other hotels, but perfectly worth it. The breakfast is amazing and included in the price, whilst other people come outside of the hotel for it

Super bien placé, bon rapport qualité prix !

Ontzettend vriendelijk personeel, kregen een welkomstdrankje /sorbet bij aankomst. Mooie accomodatie, horende bij een lunchroom/restaurant. Ontbijt was heerlijk. Hele schone en mooie, moderne kamer. Op steenworp afstand van het strand.

Location couldn’t be better. Breakfast was great. Room was super comfortable and the aircon was great. Staff was lovely and helpful. Would highly recommend a stay here!

N’a

The location is perfect for the beach and there is a restaurant bar downstairs. The room is also somewhat modern.

The service is a bit intermittent and there was no water in the room on arrival. When we went down to ask for a water they charged us 900lkr and then the next day there was water in the room. Additionally the menu is mostly pizza and pasta.

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel – it was by far the best accommodation during our trip to Sri Lanka! The rooms are new, modern, and beautifully designed – we felt comfortable right away. Staffs are extremely friendly, welcoming. Dameen is very helpful to show us around and make sure we had a great time at La Luna Breakfast is so good and high quality. Good coffee and matcha latte :) The location is in front of Hiriketiya beach and she camps. It is easy to access other locations and famous restaurants nearby. All in all, a wonderful stay – we’d love to come back and highly recommend this place!

Location and comfortable

Stairs to room and bath door

We loved the location, the breakfast was excellent, staff were lovely. Facilities were good. Well used. Low season so restaurant was closed at 4.30 which was actually good to have the place quiet!

Room needed a deep clean, water leaking from ceiling during heavy downpour, coffee, tea, toilet paper was not topped up during our stay of 3 nights. Had to ask for things. Given the proximity to the beach I think some beach towels would’ve been nice. Strange dirt path to the spiral stairs up to room could be paved. Minor things really.

Nothing

Not in any way a full service property - doors don’t lock properly - no hand towels or toilet paper - would only provide one body towel per person for the three day stay - staff knocked on door at 8am on final morning of stay for house keeping? Hadn’t heard from them otherwise - no cleaning or refreshing of room During stay - security guard on property cornered us at 10pm when we were coming back to ask why two of us were in the room? We paid for two people and checked in as two people - no staff on property past 4pm - no proper entrance to property, walking through mud. - property in no way reflects the cost they charge per night

Very welcoming and accommodating staff. Delicious restaurant linked to accom. Only 2 or 3 rooms so not ever overcrowded in terms of staying there. Breakfast was whatever we wanted on the restaurant's breakfast menu including great espresso coffee. The location was perfect, AC was cold. The bed was super comfy. We'll be back!

Very cool place with super friendly staff. Room was really nice and clean. Right next to beach as well.

The staff were really friendly and welcoming. It is located at a prime location close to beaches and may more other restaurants. Dinner and Breakfast was good.

The beds were a bit uncomfortable and the family room wasn’t cleaned properly as there was a lot of dust in the bunk bed. Also it was a bit noisy in the morning.

We had a great stay at La Luna. The room was gorgeous and perfectly clean. The breakfast was delicious and the service was lovely too. Everyone was really friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again!

Nothing!

Fantastic. Especially appreciate the staff who were super chilled and very accommodative. Especially the manager, I think his name was Dameen. Food and accommodation were also excellent.

This is probably the best place I stayed in all of Sri Lanka. The bed is incredibly comfortable, the pillows are amazing, and the room is spacious and beautifully decorated. The bathroom is also very nice and everything was super clean. The café downstairs has amazing food and high-quality coffee. Breakfast is included and it’s top level—really delicious! The location is central, close to everything, and just a 10–12 minute walk to other nice spots. I would go back without hesitation. The staff is also very friendly.

The room is beautifully decorated. The location is great. The complimentary breakfast is a lovely addition

I liked it all.

The room was pretty clean. The staff and very friendly and accommodating and the breakfast and food is incredible. Would recommend La luna for everyone and the beach is so close to the location. Pretty amazing place to be honest definitely going to be staying here again.

Very nice hotel located in the center of Ella! Super nice and spacious rooms and very good breakfast. You can chose one a la carte items from their breakfast menu and one drink of choice! The staff was very friendly and helpful. Would absolutely stay there again!

I had a fantastic stay at this accommodation! The location, close to all restaurants, cafes and just behind the beach, is absolutely perfect—so close to the sea while offering a relaxing atmosphere. The room itself felt more like staying in a hotel rather than a guesthouse. It was spacious, clean, and equipped with all the essential amenities, including shampoo, conditioner, and even a toothbrush package—things you don’t always find in Sri Lanka. The breakfast was excellent with a great coffee.

The only small suggestions I have for improvement would be to add an extra mirror (there’s only one in the bathroom at the moment) and a darker curtain to help block out the morning light for a better sleep. Also, a minor issue was a few small ants near the door, which could be addressed. Despite these small points, I highly recommend this place for anyone visiting the area!

amazing staff and amazing location would come back 100 times

New and modern room with amazing location in Hiriketiya. Very comfortable with AC, modern bathroom and great breakfast that was included in the price.

A little chaotic with service - I was not informed of breakfast time and also the check-in time did not match with the one shown in booking.com.

Very clean bedroom in the heart of Hiriketiya. Great AC and very friendly staff. Breakfast and coffee was incredible.

Nothing - brilliant place

The Staff The Food The Coffee The Location Mocha the restaurant dog

Nothing

• The location is fantastic, just steps from the beautiful Hiriketiya beach. • The service was excellent—staff were attentive and friendly. • The overall vibe of the accommodation was relaxing and enjoyable.

• The bathroom lacked proper ventilation, making it feel stuffy. • There was unexpected construction on the second morning, which was noisy and disruptive. • Hot water was unavailable during this time. • I wasn’t informed about the construction or potential inconveniences before booking, which was disappointing.

Great location right opposite the beach. All the staff were very helpful and happy and smiling all the time:) Great staff!!
