Lucky Homestay Hiriketiya

Die Familie war unglaublich sympatisch und hilfsbereit. Sie haben uns mit einem Wilkommensdrink begrüsst, jeden morgen leckeres Früstück für uns gemacht und am letzten Tag um 5 Uhr uns verabschiedet und uns ein Morgenessen mitgegeben. Wir haben uns rund um wohlgefühlt. Herzlichen Dank!

Alles super!

The family was one of the loveliest and most welcoming people we have met on this trip. The breakfast was so varied and delicious and huge! Their son speaks amazing English and we had a really lovely chat with him about our lives. The AC was amazing and the room comes with a mini fridge stocked with cold water. It was very clean. *make sure you lock the apartment gate behind you as monkeys tried to break in, but the family sorted it out for us while we were at the beach hahaha*

The water pressure on our last day wasn’t the best, but it didn’t ruin our stay at all.

This was a wonderful little home stay, with the most lovely, welcoming hosts! Clean room, small, but had everything you needed (including AC & a fridge). Delicious breakfast (see Village Kitchen, worth a visit even if you don’t stay) and they also did our laundry! 10 mins walk to the beach.

Super lieve mensen, rustig gelegen en een kamer met goede airco (soms zelfs te goed), goede wifi en een comfortabel bed.

Zonder eigen vervoer is het best een ‘pittige’ klim. De kamer is klein voor twee backpackers met beide baggage.

Vinu en zijn lieve ouders hebben ons 4 fantastische dagen in Hiriketiya gegeven. Zij gaven ons een fantastisch ontbijt, leuke tips en zelfs ongevraagd een volledige poetsbeurt voor onze tuktuk! We hebben 1 avond zelfs een lokaal gezelschapspel met het hele gezin gespeeld. Kortom: fantastisch!

Heel dicht tegen het centrum , maar toch rustig gelegen. Je komt bij een heel lieve familie terecht , waar je alles aan kan vragen. Airco aanwezig , goede wifi , koelkast, klein keukentje buiten. De badkamer is ook groot genoeg en alles is aanwezig. Veel extra opbergkastjes. Je kan zelfs eten bij de eigenares , want ze heeft sinds kort een restaurant.

The Host Family was incredibly nice and helped us with everything they could. The room was clean and the breakfast was always delicious. If I’m ever in Hiriketiya again I would definitely stay here again!

Verblijf bij een lief gezin. De zoon van het gezin spreekt goed Engels. Elke ochtend een lekker Sri Lankaans ontbijt. Bij aankomst kregen we een lekkere kokosnoot. Nette kamer met een warme douche en goede koelkast. Die zijn we weinig tegengekomen bij andere verblijven. Wel klein stukje lopen naar het strand en de hoofdweg maar prima te doen. Ook was de wifi erg goed. Zo goed hebben we hem nog nooit ergens anders gehad.

Unser Aufenthalt im Lucky Homestay war einfach wunderbar. Die tolle, freundliche Familie hat uns vom ersten Moment an wie zuhause fühlen lassen. Man spürt, dass hier mit echter Gastfreundschaft und viel Liebe zum Detail gearbeitet wird. Das Frühstück war lecker und immer mit einem Lächeln serviert. Die Lage ist ideal, um Hiriketiya zu erkunden. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen – nicht nur wegen des schönen Ortes, sondern vor allem wegen dieser großartigen Familie.

De aller liefste eigenaren! Heel lekker ontbijt en goede airco.

Eigenaren zelf spreken niet goed Engels maar hun zoon spreekt dit perfect. Dus dat maakt eigenlijk niet uit.

Camera semplice accanto all’abitazione dei proprietari. La camera è piccola ma essenziale, il clima funziona perfettamente, frigo con acque in fresca e a 10 minuti a piedi dal centro città/spiagge. Il figlio parla un ottimo inglese e aiuta nella comunicazione, la famiglia è stata veramente molto gentile ed ospitale. Buona anche la colazione.

La camera è piccola, ma comunque c’è tutto ciò che serve. Qualche piccola ragnatela ma non ha rappresentato alcun problema. Consigliato e torneremmo volentieri.

The hosts are fantastic!! Super sweet and helpful the breakfast is also so amazing! Amazing start to our trip.

Very nice hosts and good breakfast

It was a little room which was a bit dark

Clean, comfortable, cute and private little room, ensuite and small outdoor area/mini kitchen. Fantastic family hosting, delicious breakfast....just a wonderful stay all around!!

Friendly family, their son is very good at english and can support his mom and dad with translating. The stay is just outside of town, which makes it closer to wildlife.

I missed something to hang my clothes.

I had a lovely 3 nights stay at this homestay. The family who runs this place are really nice and welcoming people. Breakfast was great with different types of Srilankan dishes every day. 10 minute walk to the beach. Highly recommended!

Felt very at home at Lucky homestay. The room is very comfortable and had everything you needed. Loved the outdoor kitchen. Amazing breakfast and the most lovely people! I was sad to leave. It's about 10- 15 minute walk.from the beach.

We loved our stay at Lucky Homestay, Predeepa and her family made us feel very comfortable and at home. The room was very clean, and the bed was so comfortable! The room had an aircon, fan and mosquito net as well as a fridge and well equipped kitchen. I highly recommended staying here when in Hiriketiya!

The only thing was that it was a little of of town, but not bad if you happy to walk!

I landed up staying at Lucky Homestay for an entire month, and it was one of the most memorable and enriching experiences of my life. Being their very first guest felt like an honour! If you’re looking for a peaceful, authentic Sri Lankan experience, this is your place! Surrounded by jungle, walking distance to shops/beach/restaurants, and hosted by the KINDEST FAMILY you’ll ever meet. Private room, clean all round, spacious, comfortable double bed with a mosquito net, an outdoor kitchen, en-suite bathroom (with views of palm trees and monkeys from the shower!), a big fan and the option of AC. Located up the road from Lemon Grass and Kingsleys Place, the most popular dinner spots in Hiriketiya! Extra bonus, they also have a washing machine so you can have clean clothes! AMAZING FOOD. Pradeepa, the mother, is an incredible cook who prepared a free, delicious Sri Lankan breakfast for me every morning, each day offering something new and exciting. She offers cooking classes too! Their son, Vitu, speaks excellent English and was always available to help, translate or provide advice, making everything so easy. Lucky, the father, is not only kind and helpful but also deeply wise. He shared fascinating insights about Buddhism with me when I asked to learn more, which added so much meaning to my time there. The family truly made my stay unforgettable. They are gentle, friendly, warm and generous people. They always looked out for me and made sure I felt safe and secure. They respected my space but were always there when I needed anything, gifting me food and keeping my room spotless with frequent, thoughtful cleaning. The love, respect, and care I experienced here were beyond what I could have imagined. I genuinely felt like the luckiest person in the world. If you’re looking for your own space, peace, culture and warm-hearted hospitality, Lucky Homestay is a place you’ll never forget.

If you also decide to stay here long term, I would highly recommend getting a scooter! The family can help you organise this. They allow you to park inside too!
