Jungle Nook Hiriketiya

Amazing place to stay! Great location less than 5 mins to the beach but in a nice quiet spot! The room was so cosy and comfy and had everything we need! Great wifi and air conditioning! The staff were super friendly and happy to help with anything! Great price too!!

Our stay at The Jungle Nook was very comfortable! The facilities were great and had everything we needed. There was even access to a small kitchenette for guests. The location was great, just outside of the “centre”, but extremely still close - 5 min walk via beach! We got to experience the quieter side of Hiriketiya staying at the accomodation. It was a 1 minute walk to the beach too. The host Visa is so warm, friendly and hospitable! He was an excellent communicator and was able to answer any questions we had and was super accomodating with letting us leave our luggage after check out. Would recommend staying to anyone!

Super knusse kamer, minimalistisch maar toch aestethic en op een fijne bereikbare locatie

Niks, alles was voortreffelijk

Great location and very helpful and friendly host. Would definitely recommend :)

A very genuine, kind hearted family who produce a comfortable quiet place. It’s located an easy walk to the beach and main streets for food and drinks. A very kind and gentle, caring family.

Great quiet location. Beach super close and restaurants all walkable. Host was lovely - I felt very safe and comfortable as a solo female traveller! Good wifi & AC. Very accomodating to early or late check in if available. Would recommend and stay again.

Could do with a towel hook to hang your towel to dry. 😊

Top verblijf! Super dicht bij het strand, veel eetgelegenheden in de straat en super lieve mensen. De airco werkte echt top en de kamer was vrij proper.

Nice room! AC worked well, shower was generally hot when desired, I was offered the option to have the room cleaned during my stay. Great being so close to the beach. The host was very responsive and helpful when called upon, and helped organize my ride to the next destination.

The area outside the room was a little less nice than the pictures, but I didn't mind so much because I was mainly there for proximity to the beach. The wifi also stopped working at one point, but was generally good for most of my stay.

L’hôte était adorable. La localisation est vraiment top. Un bon logement.

The location was fairly central, close to the beach, tucked away in a nice area. Good value for money. A/C worked well, the hosts were very easy to deal with.

A few dogs would bark during the night but you get that everywhere. Our main issue was a smell in the bathroom, it seemed to be coming from one of the drains, the had an extractor fan running in there but it still smelt. The curtains could offer a little more privacy and darkness. The outside lights (when on) were quite bright through the curtain, because there can be numerous other couples around it meant that different people would leave lights on outside.. the curtains were not very good at blocking it all out.

We booked the room very last minute and arrived accidentally before the hosts could confirm our booking. Thankfully hosts were really welcoming and cleaned the room really quickly, so we could enjoy their relaxing shower and room. 🪷🧘🏽‍♀️ We were really happy with our accommodation and looking forward to staying here again!

There are different types of room, al older and a newer type. We got the newer type, facing the garden. It was a comfy and clean room. There is airconditioner and a mosquito net, the latter we haven’t seen in any other accomodations. Bathroom has some openings around the walls, but the owner tried to fix it as much as he could, so all in all there were no insects in our room. There is a hot shower with okay water pressure. We liked the central location in Hiriketiya, you can walk to many places from here, super convenient. At night it was very quiet, despite rje central location. The owner, a young man called Vishwa, was very kind and did his absolute best to make our stay as comfortable as possible. He responded quickly if we had any questions. The whole host family lives in the building next door, very kind people and they have a sweet cat. Next time in Hiriketiya, I will not hesitate to stay here again.

Can’t think of anything.

You could barely stay any closer to the beach. Also has several really nice restaurants within 100m. The room I had was comfortable, spacious, clean and quiet. Vishwa was a super friendly and helpful host. And good value for money - so can’t really ask for more!

Locatie en personeel dat enorm aardig is en gastvrij

Struttura a due passi dalla spiaggia, immersa nella natura. Lo staff squisito e disponibilissimo. Location perfetta anche per la sera, vicina a ristoranti e bar.

La stanza un po’ umida e la nostra disponeva solo di ventilatori (lo scrivono chiaramente), che hanno mitigato il caldo notturno. Doccia non caldissima.

The room was spacious and clean. Bed was comfortable and had a mosquito net which was a plus. The owner and his family were very friendly and helpful :)

The location is super close to the beach and in a quiet area. There is a massage salon at 3 minutes distance and a place for yoga at 3 minutes distance as well, so everything is really close. The host was very nice and helpful. It is quiet and there’s also a shared kitchen that can be used.

The location is great! 2 mins walk from the beach. And I like how you have your own private dining area and kitchen to use. It was all very well kept and clean!The hosts are very very kind, friendly and sweet family, really trying to make sure you have a great stay!

It’s a bit humid because it’s in a ‘jungle’ area. Wet clothes couldn’t dry fully.

Twee kamers vlak achter het huis van de eigenaren. Perfecte locatie zo dicht bij het strand, makkelijk om na een duik in de zee even te kunnen douchen tussendoor. Fijne kamer en badkamer. Heel aardige host, heel gastvrij en ook erg attent via whatsapp.

Vanaf de straat is er een bordje welke kant je op moet, maar een paar meter later is het wat onduidelijker dat je bij de oprit omhoog moet, een extra bordje zou handig zijn. De weg / het pad naar de kamer kan met regenachtig weer wat modderig zijn

The owners were very kind and welcoming and always made sure we were looked after, they even gave us a plate of fruit the first night! The room is very spacious with good a/c and a very comfy bed. It’s also surrounded by amazing restaurants which are budget friendly and it’s also just 2 minutes away from the beach which is absolutely stunning.

The location, atmosphere and most of all the host :)

Die Unterkunft ist perfekt gelegen zwischen Strand und den besten Restaurants. Der Gastgeber ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Draußen gibt es einen schönen Platz zum Sitzen zwischen den Palmen. Es war alles sehr sauber, auch die Küche, die mit dem anderen Zimmer geteilt wird, wurde vor unserer Ankunft nochmal vom Host gereinigt.

Super lokalizacja w dżungli, stylowo urządzony pokój, fajna kuchnia do dyspozycji gości. Bardzo blisko do plaży, a jednocześnie z dala od głównej ulicy więc jest cicho. Przemiły właściciel który jest bardzo pomocny.

Tolle Unterkunft in Hireketiya. Nur eine Minute entfernt vom Strand und auch nah an vielen Restaurants. Das Zimmer war sauber und schön eingereicht. Vishwa ist super nett und zuvorkommend.

Das einzige was man verbessern könnte wäre ein Duschabzieher im Bad

It’s very near to beach

Non

The host was just beyond nice and helpful! If you need help you can always contact him and get a quick answer. It’s very quiet here and also located close to the beach. Would definitely recommend!

Bardzo miłe osoby które prowadzą to miejsce. Stosunek jakości do ceny jest świetny, bardzo dobra lokalizacja, blisko dobre restauracje i szybkie dojście do plaży. Można sobie zrobić herbatkę.

Przydałoby się delikatne odświeżenie ścian, ale to nie przeszkodziło w pozytywnym odbiorze miejsca.

Alles was perfect aan dit verblijf De mensen De locatie Koelkast Schoonmaak

Persoonlijk te harde bedden Koude douche (dit wist ik vooraf)

Wir waren zwei Nächte in Hiriketiya und zufrieden. Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen und haben uns wohl gefühlt. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis stimmt. Die Lage war super.

Zimmer Ausstattung Komfort Gastfreundlichkeit

Posizione ottima a 2 minuti a piedi dalla spiaggia, immerso nella natura, arredamento nuovo. Si può utilizzare una cucina comune fornita di tutto il necessario. Vishwa é il miglior host che si possa trovare, molto gentile e disponibile.

Gastheer was erg aardig en behulpzaam. Kamer was netjes, leuk ingericht en schoon. Badkamer was simpel maar meer dan prima.

Harikaydı son derece temizdi, bize her konuda yardımcı oldular ve cok kibarlar

Had a lovely stay at the Jungle Nook for 10 days. The room had strong AC + comfy beds (with mosquito nets) and rooms were cleaned every few days. The location is amazing, you are about a 2 minute walk from the beach and short walk to the main shops. The place comes with a shared kitchen (gas stove) + fridge which is handy for making your own meals. Vishwa was such an amazing host and always attentive to our needs, making sure we were happy and comfortable. Multiple times his family got us water and grocery supplies from the local market which was greatly appreciated. They even offered to take us to the local Poya festival which was very kind. We enjoyed our stay so much that we extended for another 5 days. Thank you for the hospitality ! 🩵

The place was really nice and super well located. In less than five minutes you are at the beach. The owner of the place was the most sweet man, he was constantly asking if everything was good, changing our towels and giving us some fruit. Everything was clean ans they offer to clean per day too, but it wasn’t necessary. Amazing stay, 100% recommended !!

Amazing location and amazing place. The family running the place are very friendly, keen to help and fast responding. Everything felt very safe. Also, the place is close to many delicious cafees as well as the main beach! Room was clean, however the bathroom is a bit moist. But I guess that’s the terms of staying in the jungle!

Vishwa und seine Mutter sind super liebe Gastgeber, sie waren sehr bemüht, dass wir alles haben, was wir brauchen. Die Nähe zum Strand ist genial (2min zu Fuß, wenn überhaupt) und es gibt super Restaurants in der Umgebung. Das Zimmer ist sehr klein und etwas dunkel, aber die Klimaanlage ist super. Man hat auch eine Küche & Kühlschrank, die man sich mit einem zweiten Zimmer teilt. Aufgrund der Größe vom Zimmer wäre ein kleiner Schrank super, sonst wirkt es schnell unordentlich wenn zwei Leute die Rucksäcke auspacken.

Nice room, good service, great location and very kind people.

Jungle Nook in Hiriketiya is a simple, family-run homestay with just two rooms. It’s a cute little spot with potential, but very basic in terms of accommodation. The room and bathroom were both quite small, and it’s clear the place is still finding its feet. The location is good—nice and close to the beach and main areas—but the driveway could definitely use some attention. It’s a bit hard to spot where the homestay actually is, especially if you’re arriving for the first time. What really makes the stay is the lovely family that runs it. They were incredibly warm and accommodating, always happy to help or have a chat. There's also a shared fridge and a small cooking area, which is super handy if you're travelling on a budget or just want to prep your own meals now and then. A quiet and convenient place if you're after something no-frills and local, with some lovely hosts to make you feel at home.

A cosy nook tucked away very close to the beach and some delicious breakfast spots. The host is very kind and helpful. It rained the time we stayed here but we were so happy to be hidden away in such a nice place. Lots of windows, comfy bed and air con.

Maybe could have a signpost by the path so a bit easier to find

Sehr schöne Lage im Dschungel und nur wenige Meter vom Strand und einigen tollen Cafés, Bars und Restaurants entfernt. Das Zimmer selbst ist schön eingerichtet und man fühlt sich sehr wohl. Sehr lieber und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber.

Relativt nyt sted beliggende kun 1 minuts gang fra stranden. Der var dejlig rent, og sengen var virkelig behagelig med dejlig stort myggenet! Derudover var værten virkelig sød og imødekommende og hjalp, hvis vi havde spørgsmål. Kommer meget gerne igen, hvis jeg skal tilbage til Hirikitiya!

Der var desværre ingen varmt vand overhovedet. Det kunne der godt have stået i beskrivelsen, så vi var klar over dette. Men det gik alt sammen.

Lovely stay - lovely host family, huge bed, right by beach, A/C.

Bathroom could use a permanent mop as floor gets wet after shower.

Top locatie, nog geen 5 min lopen van t strand en Vishwa, de host, is echt super aardig en mega behulpzaam!! Voor een klein budget is het een goed verblijf! En de kamer is gezellig aangekleed

Het is er erg vochtig. Nu hadden wij ook veel regen en heb je dit volgens mij op veel plekken in Hiriketiya maar je spullen drogen nauwelijks :(

It was so nice! Calm and quiet and so close to the beach. I liked having access to a kitchen and fridge. The AC and WiFi are great. The bed was very comfortable, I had the best sleep ever. The hosts are very kind and I would for sure book again :)

I was made to feel very welcome. The beach is two minutes away, and some good restaurants too. Bed super comfy and fluffy towels!! I highly recommend the Jungle Nook.

There wasn't anything I disliked..I just hope the owners keep.it as neat and tidy as it is. Like clean the shelves in the bathroom and fix the leaking shower before it causes damage. Also why not make a little path to the door, that would be super cute..plus a sign! To let poeple know where you are.

This place is so close to the beach! (I think the distance in the description mentioned 1k or something away, but it’s like 2 mins walk away, Pretty much right behind Crab restaurant). New accomodation In Hiriketiya run by the nicest family! Not a home stay so we felt like we had our own space, but they are right next door if you need anything or have any questions (also handy for us to store our bags when we weren’t leaving until the evening). New bedding/mosquito nets and towels provided, guest kitchen is also right there outside the door with jug etc. Really happy we stayed here and will come back when we visit next.

No issues! Would recommend this place

Clean room and bathroom, and comfortable bed. There is also a kitchen area that you share with the other room that has all that you need to make your own food, including a little stove and a fridge. The owners were really helpful and sweet. It is close to the beach and some nice restaurants. Would stay there again.

De gehele accommodatie wordt gemaakt door de mensen die hem beheren. Het is een gezin wat met liefde de accommodatie rund. Zelfs de oma van 97 komt met plezier kennismaken met de gasten.

alles was prima voor de prijs
