My stay at "Painkiller Hiriketiya" was absolutely perfect. The newly renovated room is in an amazing location, right in the center, close to the bus stand and to all the restaurants and just 6 minute walk to the main beach. The room was impeccably clean, smelled fresh and had everything I needed. The air conditioning was a game changer and it's rare to find such a spotless accomodations. The host was fantastc, providing a delicious breakfast and always being avaible to assist with anything I needed. Higly recommed!

Parasol dore

Parasol Dole is a little slice of heaven. We had the ultimate relaxation time where we were able to switch off from everything. The accommodation is beautiful. We loved the room, which had bi-folding doors directly out to the pool area and beach. The pool was clean and refreshing. We spent the majority of our time on the beach, which felt private as we were usually the only ones on it. There are body boards to use at your leisure and we had so much fun body boarding in the waves for hours on end. There is an area further up the beach that frequently has turtles, so we had the opportunity to snorkel and saw several turtles close to shore. The staff were so generous and hospitable. They kindly organised us tuk tuks into town whenever we needed, which always arrived within 10 minutes of booking. Roshan particularly went out of his way to recommend things to do in the area and offered to drive us round the town for some sightseeing. We couldn’t fault the service. We really enjoyed the breakfast. The pancakes, omelettes and fruit platter were exceptionally good! Highly recommend this serene and stunning boutique hotel and we will definitely return on our next visit to Sri Linka!

We stayed here for 3 nights off-season and we really happy that we booked this hotel. Because it’s one of the few places that we really enjoyed in Weligam in May. Nice location , clean rooms and polite staff. Special thanks to owners Mr. and Mrs. Dias, they were very nice to us.

The family who owns the place is so nice- they have arranged everything from whale watching tour to tuktuk drive. The location of the hotel is great, rooms are comfortable and clean and have nice jungle view, you can watch monkeys playing on the trees from the balcony. We liked the hotel so much we reserved it also for our second stay in Mirissa.

From

The location is unique in its closeness to nature (the entrance to Sinharaja Rainforest just a 10-min walk by foot) and at the same time being very fresh and modern built, with everything necessary available in the room. Stunning view on the river and the opposite-laying tea hills and jungles directly from the terrace; peacocks walk freely on the property. Overall, a nice place to stay, and a very friendly personnel.

That was the best home stay experience in Sri Lanka. It is located a few minutes away from the beach. Place is exceptionally cosy, clean and comfortable. Room was just beautiful with nice bed, private bathroom with hot shower and all facilities you can imagine. We used the kitchen for cooking our food which was great after long weeks of traveling. Big thank you for the host family - you made our stay here simply wonderful. We recommend this place if you plan to stay in Dikwella.

They didn't offer us a room. Said that they are not willing to offer to locals. And also it is not cleaned, not suitable for anyone.

Big room and bathroom. Comfortable bed with mosquito net. Only a few minutes walk to the beach. Very friendly host family. Good breakfast with a big fruit salad. We also had a balcony/teresse. And there is also the possibility to use the laundry service from the family. They can also organize many tours like snorkeling or something for you.

Atmosphere, Vibe 👌 Its right next to the Forest Entrance. TikiriBanda is the man! He helped us in many ways to make our stay a comfortable one as well as the other staff members. Food is average can give 7/10, and bit expensive for locals. So its better to book it full or half board. Overall 7/10 for everything.

Silva was such a great host, he made sure we had everything we needed during the entire stay and even recommended a place to rent a bike nearby. The breakfast was great, and he would even wake us up in the morning when it was ready! He also let us have late check out at no extra charge. The AC was great, and had a nice warm shower. We shared a small kitchen area with another room so had fridge access which was very helpful.
