We enjoyed every bit of our stay in this family-led hotel! It is not far from the beach (5-7 minutes of walking). The room were very clean and there was a common kitchen where we could store some food in the fridge, make our tea or mix some smoothies. Besides this the owner always offered us some freshly mixed smoothies, tea of coffee and also homemade local food. There was also a washing machine available. The little family of this hotel was so kind and we felt so welcomed and supported. Thanks for this nice experience and holidays in Heriketiya!

We stayed for a week at this property and had the most amazing experience. Beautiful lawns, big rooms with balconies and sit out area, housekeeping everyday, great pool with Jacuzzi and good food. What more can one ask for. The staff were very helpful at all times and made our stay very comfortable. The owners Mr. & Mrs. Dias, went out of their way to accommodate all our requests. They even decorated the place, brought a cake to celebrate my grandson’s first birthday. Thank you so much for everything. It was a memorable stay.

Secret House in Dickwella was a highlight. The house is fantastic. Super clean and so well looked after. The air conditioned room was spacious and the bathroom was modern and fully functional with a great hot water shower. Amila, the owner was just amazing. So committed to his guests and his mother and father were a delight. Breakfasts were fantastic as were the dinners. Dickwella is a working town so great to explore but the beach area is amazing and just a short walk from the guesthouse. Amila will help with anything and is a superb host. Really pleased we stayed here. Thank you so much. We will not forget.

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.
