Villa Hiriketiya

The staff,location and place was a absolute gem.

Nothing

Top Lage! Sehr freundliche Inhaber! Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen!

Geweldige accomodatie! Het appartement is ruim, fris en van alle gemakken voorzien. De gastheer- en vrouw zijn heerlijk bezig om de accomodatie op orde te houden. Ze zijn ontzettend behulpzaam en vriendelijk. De accomodatie zit direct aan het strand en er is meer dan genoeg keuze aan restaurants in de omgeving. Heerlijk verblijf en ik zou dit aan iedereen aanraden.

Geen opmerkingen over deze accomodatie.

Centrally located. The staff is friendly and helpful. Good value for money.

The rooms are very dimly lit

Top locatie, super behulpzame mensen, prijs/kwaliteit verhouding is uitstekend!

The room was spacious and clean. It had good air conditioning and the water was warm . The location was excellent. Breakfast was very tasty and a large serve. Mali was very nice and assisted us when needed.

The pool area and sunbeds were needing a little repair and maintenance. For the price a bottle of water for teethbrushing would be appreciated. The room needs to provide bath towels as well as pool towels as towels take a long time to dry in the climate.

Le logement est extrêmement bien situé. Mali et sa famille ont été très accueillants, très réactifs. Nous nous sommes sentis bien dans ce magnifique cadre Je recommande ! Merci encore à l’accueil de Mali et sa famille

חמוד, קצת מלוכלך אבל חמוד. הברז מים של המקלחת לא עבד ולידינו המזגן לא עבד

Great location walking distance to the beach and restaurants Beautiful big pool Nice and helpful staff Family room big and spacious

Room was just a little dark

The location was good

The hosts were not responsive. The AC was not working and no one was responding to us. They wefe ignorant throughout our stay.

The food was good and friendly staff Malee and her family were good hosts and very accommodating.

The garden has not been maintained, we suggest tea, coffee and water to be provided complimentary, better choice of food in the menu. Staff wasn't updated that we had requested breakfast till we told them.

Villa Hiriketiya is perfectly located right in the center, within walking distance of everything, which made getting around super easy. The bedrooms are large and spacious, and the pool area is really nice overall.

A few small points to improve: the pool could use a bit more regular maintenance and vacuuming, and unfortunately, treatment was added in the morning so we couldn’t use it during most of our stay. It can also be a bit noisy since it’s on the main road. The bed was very soft, which might not suit everyone. Overall, a great stay mainly thanks to the unbeatable location and spacious setup.

Pool was great. Location great. Rooms were large. Very quiet and tranquil.

No fridge. Rooms were dark.

Grande chambre. Super piscine. Très proche de la plage et des restaurants.

Chambre un peu trop sombre.

La gentillesse du personnel complètement aux petits soins Les chambres spacieuses, jolies et propres La proximité avec la plage

Il y a eu des travaux dans le jardin le dernier jour. Pas mal de bruit…

Great location, 2 minute walk from the beach front. Room was decent size and clean. Staff very helpful and helped us fix a shoe. We didn’t spend very much time time there as there is so much to do in hirketya, but a great base

The pool area wasn’t as nice as other places we had stayed in Sri Lanka

We stayed four nights at Hiriketiya Villa and loved it. The room was large and clean (and cleaned during our stay) and the shower was good and hot. The gardens and pool are well looked after. There are only four rooms so it feels really quiet even though you are in the centre of the hustle and bustle of Hiriketiya. There is a great roti hut a couple of steps to the right as you leave and the beach is approximately a thirty second walk. We didn't use a tuktuk or any transport the whole time we stayed in Hiri, all restaurants are walking distance. You can have breakfast if you wish and they have a few soft drinks and water available if you need. The people are kind and generous. Always around but never in your face. We'd definitely stay again.

Two or three tiny things that I think would improve the guest experience (but this is me being really picky!!) 1 ) A mirror in the main room rather than just the bathroom - particulary as there were four of us getting ready at the same time/ 2 ) Net curtains so that we could be in the room but have the dark drapes open for some natural light. 3 ) A small kettle/fridge station for keeping water cool/having a hot drink when you want.

The swimming pool was a lovely luxury Room was spacious and clean Staff helpful with providing water, show us how shower worked. Offered breakfast which was nice

Localização excelente (a 2 minutos a pé da praia), o quarto era muito espaçoso e a piscina era muito boa.

Por estar localizado na rua principal de acesso às praias ouve-se com frequência o ruído do trânsito.

Perfecte locatie, leuk zwembad en nette schone kamer

Er werd niet schoongemaakt, geen schone handdoeken en airco werkte matig

Perfect location for going to the beach, cafes and shops by foot. Helpful and friendly staff. :) Nice pool

-

Friendly staff

All in all disappointing considering the price range. Appears worn down (pool, garden, shower etc. A/C noisy as an old diesel engine and only full power cooling or heat. The breakfast was prepaid non-refundable and definitely not worth paying for. Minimal breakfast without variation topped up with finding pieces of a plastic bag in the egg on the last day.

Location is perfect! And the property is stunning! The staff is the best, they treated me so well, like family!

we liked the location and the puppy :)

the interior is old, a/c is too loud, the bed was creaking, totally not worth its money

Great location - so convienent to walk to the beach. Lovely staff

Nothing

The swimming pool was good. Rooms are spacious and neat The garden is nice and clean Reasonable pricing The staff was friendly Close to the beach

The pool chlorine quality has some issues Room lighting is not enough Better to have a table in the room The bathroom should have a cubicle; otherwise, it is always wet For improvement, it's better to have a hair dryer, tea-making facilities and a TV

Location of as amazing, aircon was power ful and the bathroom was very functional and clean. We swam in the pool often.

Jeden z nielicznych hoteli z Hirtikateya z basenem.

Hotel jest położony przy głównej ulicy co jest trochę uciążliwe.

the pool was excellent and rooms spacious

room was quite dark/bathroom wasn't very clean and there was a power cut for some time

Amazing location near the beach and lovely pool - would recommend.

Good location with close proximity to nice cafes and restaurants, and 3 min to the beach. The room was big and felt clean, however we experienced cockroaches entering the room which was unpleasant. There is no curb in the shower, meaning the entire bathroom floor is wet after a shower. Staff speak little English and kept their distance for most part. It’s an ok place to stay for a few days, but not sure we’d come back if visiting Hiriketiya again.

Walking distance to the beach. We also enjoyed the pool at the accommodation. It’s also a small villa either roughly 4 rooms, so it’s quite quiet.

No toiletries supplied, or slippers

Centralt boende nära till allt, pool, stort o rymligt rum och sköna sängar. Väldigt trevlig personal.

Att det ibland var lite för mycket ljud sent på kvällen från barerna på helgerna.

Pool, people, room, garden, all great!

Nothing

Great location, Spacious room and nice bed.

a bit run down, could use some renovations to get it back to what it was when built.

Wonderful. Location, great to have a swimming pool, nice sized rooms.

Mooie tuin, lekker zwembad en kamer was mooi groot

Soms wat geluid savonds laat omdat het heel centraal lag

Clean & great location, close to beach & restaurants

Very friendly and welcoming, good room and amazing pool to chill after surfing

So clean and the staff were so friendly

Nothing

The location was perfect. Right next to the beach. The lady operating the accommodation was so kind and gently, whenever we had any questions she was able to help.

Nothing. The experience was perfect

Staff were amazing perfect location

Lokalizacja, basen

Brak pitnej wody i szklanek (norma w pozostałych hotelach na Sri Lance), słabe oświetlenie, łazienka wymaga odświeżenia (brak wieszaków na ręczniki, kubka na szczoteczki do zębów, pani nie donosiła papieru toaletowego, brak wydzielonego prysznica przez co woda była w całej łazience). W pokoju znajdywał się kojec dla dziecka i zabierał miejsce (nie było nam to potrzebne)

The property was in a great location and had a nice pool! The bed was spacious and the air con was good. The hosts were lovely and helpful.

Lack of amenities such as a kettle but you can ask the host for hot water.

La ubicación es perfecta. Las habitaciones muy amplias y la piscina era muy bonita.

El personal fue un poco pasota.

Excellent location, close to the beach and restaurants. Family were very friendly, rooms were clean and pool and garden well maintained.

Good property great location

Not maintained well. No water bottles

The pool and the location is amazing if you want to get away from the crowded beach and have a calm spot, this place is right for you!

Power was cut in the night and we needed to charge our stuff, there was no electricity unfortunately. This issue is common for the whole village, though, not only in Villa Hiriketiya

genial y los amfitriones maravilllosos

Hermosa villa! Súper tranquila y al lado de la playa. Cama y almohadas muy cómodas, la piscina y el jardín impresionantes

Nada todo bien

Locatie, schoon, ruime kamers

Het gebrek aan service en het niet kunnen Engels soreken

Property is located within 30 seconds of the entrance to Hiriketiya beach and super close to all the cafes and shops! Has everything you need from a pool to cold AC and breakfast. The beds are really comfortable.

I think there was a miscommunication between breakfast. There is no office/front desk as it seems a family runs it so you might have to wait if you need someone.

perfecte locatie, je bent binnen 2 minuten op het strand en mooie grote kamers. lekker zwembad voor als je niet vh strand houd of even na het strand nog ff lekker wil zwemmen

Wat een top afsluiting hebben we hier gehad tijdens onze vakantie door Sri Lanka. Zaten met twee kleine kinderen in de familie kamer. Deze was zeer ruim en zeer netjes. Heerlijk warme douche, goede airco, grote fijne bedden. Hebben geen ontbijt hier gedaan, zitten overal leuke plekjes in de straat en een straat verderop. Echt een aanrader om hier te zitten. Je zit middenin de hoofdstraat, drie min lopen naar het strand en toch is het rustig in de tuin. Het zwembad is een super aanvulling. Voor de deur stond een super vriendelijke tuk tuk meneer die ons meermaals ergens heen heeft gebracht en zo goed met kinderen was. Eigenlijk alles was top op deze locatie.

Ruime kamer, goede douche, lekker zwembad en goede locatie

Service minder, men spreekt geen woord Engels en zijn niet zo vriendelijk als rest van Sri

Lovely place, great location and a nice pool!

Tipologia di struttura e disponibilità dei proprietari

We loved our stay here! We had read some reviews that weren’t as positive but beyond the Wi-Fi not being the best, it was perfect! It has a really relaxing outdoor area, a lovely warm outdoor shower and a great pool. The room was very spacious, our AC kept the room very cool and the bathroom had a large shower and modern finishes. The bed was super comfortable with very soft bed linens. I miss my pillow already. The property is just minutes from many restaurants and Hiriketiya beach. We wouldn’t change a thing.

A mini fridge in the room would have been nice but nothing else!

Close to beach

Insects in the bathroom,bathroom always wet after use because the water drainage is not good,there’ s no table,dustbin in the room and it’s not convenient inside the room.the pictures are nice on internet but it’s an average hotel and definitely not worth 15,000 rupees.the staff also not friendly at all.do not recommend this place because the price is a bit expensive.facilities are not good.

We hebben hier een super verblijf gehad. De kamer was in orde en de badkamer was fijn. De ligging is op loopafstand van alles en heel fijn ten opzichte van de leuke eettentjes en het strand. Het personeel is lief en bieden aan je kamer tussendoor schoon te maken als je dit wil. Het zwembad is schoon, er liggen inderdaad losse tegeltjes, hier moet je een beetje op letten maar was voor ons geen probleem.

Niks, super!!

Fantastic place. Budget friendly. Close to all important places within Hiriketiya. Staff and the host were too lovely and kind. Very prompt and responsive. Had all contacts for bike rental and tuk tuk availability. 10/10 experience

Friendly supportive staff.

The family room was spacious but the AC was not quite enough .. There were no amenities at all

Fantastic location and really great outdoor area. Family room was not newly renovated and slightly dusty, BUT the price and location more than made up for it. Very sweet host and lovely area 1 minute walk from the beach.

N/A

The rooms are completely undecorated with no ambiance at all.

Amazing stay at the Villa. The host was so lovely and helpful. Lovely rooms with aircon.

Great location, nice garden and pool and large room. Friendly staff. Room and premises were clean.

Given the price, breakfast should have been included. Some (small) maintenance issues, such as loose pool tiles or a broken gutter, could easily be fixed. Fridge in room would would be helpful.

We were returning to Villa Hiriketiya after staying previously 6 years ago. After reading some mixed recent reviews we were a little apprehensive about our stay. However we enjoyed a great 6 days. It’s true the accommodation is looking a little tired probably due to the fact it’s being knocked down soon so they don’t want to fix the short term problems. But the staff were super friendly and helpful. We didn’t suffer any power cuts as others have mentioned when we were there and the location is unbeatable for Hiriketiya. Right in the centre, yet quiet at night. With a beautiful garden, pool and less than 5minutes walk to the beach for less than £60 a night you can’t expect much more!

Some small touch ups - fixed pool tiles, deep clean of bathrooms would make a massive difference

Brilliant location for the beach and many nearby restaurants. Hotel was basic but was perfect for our one night stay

The aircon didn’t work so the room was extremely hot. Lighting in the room was also very dark. Bathroom set up meant the shower flooded the floor and was very slippery after. Overall hotel looked a bit run down, pool tiles falling off etc - but we was told by other guests they were knocking the hotel down and rebuilding so wasn’t doing any repairs.

The staff at Villa Hiriketiya were very attentive as soon as we arrived, and helped with any requests we had. The room was spacious, and the garden and pool were very comfortable to relax around. We had a very happy week there.

There are a few minor issues with the property - it's a little bit tired in places - loose tiles on the edge of the pool, the steps into the pool coming loose, that sort of thing. The rooms were cleaned regularly and the staff seem to be taking good care, but overall it seems like whoever owns the place should invest a little money in upkeep. Bugs are obviously a part of staying in Sri Lanka, but we had a few cockroaches turn up in our bathroom which needed dealing with, and that didn't happen anywhere else we stayed. Hiriketiya also has an issue of the boom in development and tourism in the town, which means over-demand for electricity and so we did have intermittent power cuts as our place and other nearby accommodation jostled for energy. There are also some nights where loud music was playing til quite late - it wasn't something which caused us a major issue as we slept well every night, but lighter sleepers might struggle with it. It's just part of Hiri's buzzy, busy atmosphere.

Lovely great location right near the beach. Lovely pool and area outside. Rooms lovely and modern and clean.

Very central location but still quiet at night. The room was very spacious and the host was very kind. We only stayed for 1 night and unfortunately our AC didn’t work, it kept tripping the fuse so we didn’t have the best nights sleep. Hopefully just a one time issue

Location excellent - just down the road from the beach and all the best restaurants, plus the local shop.

Sri Lanka is suffering from daily rolling blackouts across the country - if you choose to stay here, you should be aware that the property has no generator, and you will likely come back to your room to find: no aircon, no working shower (because it is electric) and no lights. The owner and management are fully aware of the situation but they will not give you any info about it, so you'll have to discover for yourself that it's an issue. The fan was also broken in my room and had to be fixed. In addition, the caretaker family are lazy and unhelpful - rooms are supposed to be cleaned every 48 hours (they were not), only one toilet roll was provided for a 6 day stay and beach towels were not provided in a timely fashion. Security is also an issue - the caretaker family allowed men into the property on Friday evening to drink around the bar (they deny this but it is 100% true). Be aware there are also no safes in the room so you'll have to either keep your valuables on your or lock them up in a case. Overall we were massively disappointed with this property and would not advise staying here.

We'd seen this villa on a previous visit and knew we wanted to stay here. The pool area is gorgeous and it is in a perfect location for the beach and restaurants. The room was lovely with high ceilings. There were a few power cuts while we were there which you can expect in the area so it means a cold shower every once in a while but that's fine when it's 30 degrees outside. The owners were always around if you needed anything. A fridge in the room would have been a nice addition to have cold water but other than that a great villa and would recommend.
