We had a great stay at Serendib Villa! The staff and the sisters were absolutely amazing — so kind, welcoming and always happy to help. They made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. Highly recommended and we would happily stay again!

A little bit hard bed like for our likings.

Well located, nice place for valuable money. Definately to be recommended.

The location is really central to some nice restaurants and 2 minutes from the main Hiriketiya beach. The room was sizeable, the WiFi worked well and it was clean.

There can be some noise from Clear Point bar on their karaoke night and then from Jungle Party but once I put ear plugs in you couldn’t hear them. Both events finished around 1am so not too late.

Localização

Cama dura, casa de banho cheirava mal.

Ausstellung ist gut und sauber ist es auch! Personal ist freundlich und hilfreich. Lage ist sehr zentral. Strand und Minimarkt gleich um die Ecke. Ohne die unten beschrieben Mängel wäre die Bewertung 9.

Die Nachbarn (Stand: 15.03.2026): Tagsüber Baustelle, Nachts Karaoke (Freitag und Sonntag) und Djungel Party (Samstag). Also Ruhe darf man aktuell tagsüber und am Wochenende auch nachts nicht erwarten. Personal sitzt immer im Garten, da es keine richtige Rezeption gibt. Das ist im Erdgeschoss etwas doof, weil man nur bei zugezogen Vorhängen Privatsphäre hat. Essen auf der Terrasse ist wegen Affen auch nicht zu empfehlen.

Beautiful hotel

Nothing

Serendib villa is a nice property which is very clean and has everything you need for the price point. It is a good location in the sense that it is very close to Hiriketiya bay and nice shops/restaurants.

Unfortunately Clear Point (a local bar) is very loud and had an event on every night we stayed (Friday - Monday) until the early hours which if you are not participating in the night life / are a light sleeper means it’s difficult to sleep. This is not the property’s fault so we’re sorry to be leaving this review but we thought it best to be honest to ensure the right people stay here!

Really comfortable room , clean and in perfect location. Very close to the beach

A little bit noisy from the construction sites around

It’s amazing location to the beach and some good restaurants. It feels safe away from the main road and is very well located. The room was spacious, comfortable and nice in many ways. The staff were polite and made me feel very welcome.

For the price, I didn’t love the fact they provided no basics like body soap in the bathroom for the shower and my room wasn’t cleaned once, (I never asked, but was never offered). Also, it can be super noisy from the surrounding bars. This isn’t the hotels fault, but it’s something to consider.

Perfect location Great value for money Big room and balcony Great staff

De ligging van de villa, goed bed en fijn terras. Het wordt beheerd door twee jongemannen die vriendelijk en behulpzaam zijn.

Stort og fint rommet, generelt rent

Flekker på lakenet var litt ekkelt

Very comfortable, large, and clean room. I had a really stellar 3-day stay. Location is more than ideal. Right next to the nicest part of the beach and the best food in town. Staff was incredibly responsive, accommodating, and helpful. It's a bit more expensive than some of the other rooms in town but I would say worth it. Very peaceful, stay. Cozy sheets, strong/cool AC, a powerful ceiling fan and each room has it's own Wifi network. Property manager is on-site and available 24/7 and happy to help.

Water pressure could be a bit stronger in the shower but still a very nice bathroom experience with 24/7 instant hot water. Good ventilation and no bugs! That's a first for me in Sri Lanka. I saw another comment speak to the noise in the area... While there is a bar and louder restaurant nearby, the villa is tucked off of the main road. In my experience, the noise from the street barely audible in the room. So you get prime location with minimal noise.

Super Unterkunft ca. 70m vom Surf-Beach, ca. 2km zum Turtle Beach. Durch erhöhte Lage wohnt man (in den oberen Zimmern) mitten in den Baumwipfeln

Great stay! Spotlessly clean, super proper and big room. Everything was brand new and comfortable. The location is THE best in Hiriketya. Walking distance from everything. The staff is also the nicest and are there to help you

Great location, clean, spacious, ease of everything!

Mooi en schone accommodatie. Goede locatie: het strand en meerdere eettentjes zijn 5 minuutjes lopen

Clean, inviting villa. Great shower. Great location, three minute walk to the beach.

No breakfast

Struttura nuova situata nel centro di Hiriketiya! Comodissima per la posizione, dotata di tutti i servizi in camera soprattutto aria condizionata! Un posto molto bello e tranquillo dove trascorrere le vacanze

Struttura come in foto, camera pulita, ampia, a due passi dalla spiaggia di Hiriketiya. Davvero comodo uscire senza zaini o borse per andare a surfare

Un asciugamano da spiaggia sarebbe ottimo

De kamer was mooi en schoon, en we werden bij aankomst prettig ontvangen. Daarna het personeel weinig meer gezien, maar dat was ook niet nodig. De manager kwam wel een paar keer langs om te laten weten dat we altijd iets konden vragen als we iets nodig hadden. De locatie is top: dichtbij het strand en een heerlijk ontbijttentje.

Enige minpuntje was dat er vlakbij een restaurant zit met karaoke-avond; dit was één avond het geval en goed hoorbaar in de kamer.

Location is great, walk to the beach. Lovely balcony on top room. Staff friendly.

The wifi in one room did not work the whole time we were there. Another pillow would be nice and a topper for the matrasses as they are firm++!

Big room and bathroom, huge bed. Plugs by bed. Aircon and fan Hot shower, big bathroom Nice balcony/chairs Fridge, kettle, etc Very convenient for beach, bars, restaurants

Heel mooi verblijf met een perfecte locatie. Het is schoon en nieuw. De werknemers zijn erg aardig.

Niets.

Super friendly staff, clean new room, central but without the noise.

It was perfect

Newly renovated. Place is nice and clean. Close to the beach and main stores and restaurants. Shower was the best we had so far.

The guy working there can't speak english at all. This lead to a lot of frustration, since we asked him for an extra night stay (on our second day there). He quickly replied yes okay. To which I asked him 5 more times if he is 100% sure (even showing him on the booking.com app and a calendar app what I meant. To which he replied: yes sir, possible. Then you can already guess it, he didn't understand what we meant. Which lead to a lot of frustration and dissapointment in this accommodation. Since we already had planned the rest of our vacation 1 day later.

Great place and location! Outside shower was nice to wash off the sand before going inside! Lots of places to dry your towels/swimwear! Nice hosts, they offered to clean our room if needed. Lots of places to eat nearby. We definitely loved this place! Very clean and modern.

Perhaps an extra small towel would be nice :) (to use after washing hands or so)

Very pretty and luxurious building and rooms. The location is great and a bit off the road so more quiet than some other properties. Also, the rooms were very spatious and clean, with a seating area outside. The owners were friendly, and available if necessary. We had a problem with our tuk tuk when we left and they helped fix it, which was really nice.

The friday night party (secret jungle). is close to the property. So you might hear the music. For us it was not too bad and we could sleep through it.

Clean and beautiful room with food AC, shower, refrigerator and smart TV Great view from the balcony and strong WiFi

Great value for money. Brilliant location close to the beach and restaurants. Lovely spacious room.

Good villa in an excellent location. Brand new and good hot shower and clean on arrival. Lovely area to sit outside and a stones throw to restaurants ,shop etc and the beach. Staff very friendly and helpful.

This place has huge potential if they can get some basics right. Rooms are not cleaned daily ( unless perhaps you ask - but no one speaks any English so it's difficult to communicate ). Bed incredibly hard and one pillow each - uncomfortable. Guests should be warned not to leave footwear outside as dogs steal items at night .Due to the lack of daily cleaning, leaving sandy shoes outside is really a necessity - so this is something they need to address. There was confusion about payment just as we were leaving into a cab- these are things that can be addressed on arrival or any other day - not as we were just leaving as it caused last minute stress.

Quiet location with a good-sized room. Very clean and comfortable. Staff were obliging.

The sign says there is a restaurant, but there is no food served on the property.

Everything was clean comfy bed good ac good shower we really liked it there 10/10 experience!

The location is absolutely perfect, located close to the beach and restaurants. No issue with noise at night. Room and bathroom facilities were really great and for the price it really is incredible. One of our favourite places we stayed in Sri Lanka. Thank you so much! Couldn't recommend more highly

Brilliant location. Felt new and the shower was great.

Only two pillows on the large bed and needed another 2 but they provided it straight away once we requested.

Our favourite place in Sri Lanka - spacious, clean rooms with a beautiful garden full of wildlife.

Excellent location. The property didn’t offer any facilities outside of the room, which was fine with us. There is a store directly across the street including food options.

Nothing.

Big clean rooms in a perfect location close to the beach. The hosts were super helpful. Highly recommended.

Immaculately clean and comfortable large rooms with great bathroom facilities. Perfect location to walk straight out the door to many great food options and beautiful Hiriketiya beach. The outdoor shower was a great addition for a wash off when returning from an early morning surf. Having the two upstairs rooms was great for our family with two teenagers. We appreciated being able to leave our bags for a few hours before we departed for our next location after check out.

Loved the location and the rooms on the first floor with the balcony

The ground floor rooms didn’t feel very private

Convenient location- easy to walk to beach, restaurants, etc.

Lots of construction and definitely loud party noise.

Good location well designed helpful staff

Proximity of Friday night party could be a problem for some.

- good location - super clean (new property) - comfortable bed - warm water & good shower

- poor wifi quality -noisy at night due to music playing from restaurant nearby- music stops around 12 I was using earplugs However didnt bother me much

Super clean rooms, big bed, nice shower. Best acc we had in Sri Lanka. Would 10/10 recommend. It’s nearby everything: supermarkt, beach, arm, restaurants.

Only thing is that you hear the music from the clubs, but It’s doable because every club close at 00:00.

New villa, with everything you need (cutlery, plates, fridge, amazing shower, clothes hanger), cozy yard. The hosts are super nice, helped us arrange laundry. Location very central - near ATM, supermarket, bars and cafes, close to the beach - all within 5 minutes walk.

In room 2 we would have liked a little more privacy, the staff is working around often, so we had to keep our curtains closed. Also keep in mind that due to its proximity to the town centre, there are parties and loud music almost every night until midnight. Bring earplugs! Wifi could be improved.

The kind hospitality. The location was great, just a few minutes walk from the bay.

The rooms are neat, big and very comfortable with a nice outside terrace. The location is perfect, within a few minutes walking you are at the beach and near good restaurants. The family is helpful and kind.

We really enjoyed our stay. The villa’s are very new. One small point of improvement would be an outside water tape to clean our sandy feet, so we could have limited the sand in the bathroom and room.

I highly recommend this place. It was so clean and comfortable. The staff was so nice and it was so close to the beach. I honestly don't have anything bad to say about this place.

Was a lovely place, perfect Location with very nice and helping hosts. Clearly can recommend it. See you soon, dani

Great place in the jungle close to the beach! Everything is new and clean. We booked very last minute and they still could accommodate us. Thanks! Overall great experience. Close to cafes and shops.

The window doesn't open so the only way to get fresh air is to keep the doors to the outside. Payment was accepted only in cash, adding extra cost for withdrawing (6% at the nearby ATM). Also, the gym and pool table showed in the pictures does not belong to the Vila, are just activities nearby. Had some issues with wifi.

Very new and clean appartment, friendly staff! Close to the beach!

The hotel is located just few steps away from the beach. Staff was super kind and helpful. Room is very big and clean, everything is new. We had a comfortable stay. I highly recommend this place when staying at Hiriketiya

The location is great! So close to the beach and many restaurants! Big room, with big bed and great bathroom. Also the owners were so friendly and helpful.

Good to know that because of the good location, it can be a little noisy (music) because of nearby restaurants. But it's only till midnight.

Everything was just perfect. Great hosts, very friendly and hospitable... We got fresh fruits, tea, koffee and even sweets were in the fridge. 😍 The room was great, especially the bathroom (shower worked perfectly and we had a hairdryer 😃). We loved staying there. 🤗
