+The location Nice guests I met
−I booked based on the reviews and the pics. Well IDK who can say that place is nice. It's like a hole. I didn't get to see one of the rooms, but mine was dorty, mold everywhere, with only a little window high in the wall. I am not a poshy or sensitive person, I've been traveling in Africa and around Sri Lanka, i have slept in sketchy places in the streets of Europe back in the days.... But sorry to say, that room is a mold hole. There was no one of the staff there. Apparently the other private room may be nice. I got an eye on the bunk bed room and oh boy felt like a bunker. Idk, if you wanna go budget, go for it. I feel so lucky I had free cancelation because I was not sleeping there at all. I should have taken pictures... The mattress was green and soaked up. The fan had growing stuff on it. The walls were mold greyish. I cannot say anything about the staff or the toilets or so on, just that the room i saw was totally a no go.

“Great location”
+Amazing staff and great location
−The room without a/c was very very hot, maybe 40°+ and had open windows along the back so lots of mosquitos

“Great stay in Hiriketiya”
+Lalith is the kindest host who made me feel at home immediately. He was very accommodating and also gave a 15 minute free massage. Beds are large and comfortable.
−There isn’t much space in the room to put your bags.

+The owner is an absolute gem. Lalith goes out of his way to make everyone feel at home. If there’s anything needed he would immediately offer advice and help. No hesitation. Additionally his massage skills are out of this world!!!! The location is gold as the beach is very close and the food places nearby are quite affordable. I’ve never been more reluctant to leave a place like this. A heartfelt recommendation!!!!

“I enjoyed my stay :)”
+I had a really good stay and the family of the hostel was very sweet. The owner and his wife they have three kids and they’re often around. The whole family was very helpful and sweet. I needed to go to the supermarket twice and he brought with the motobike for free and when you go to Surf, you also get one massage of 20 minutes if you want for free. it’s a very beautiful and familiar atmosphere. The beds are bigger than usual and comfortable :)
−The kitchen was dirty and it’s smells bad and because it’s an open kitchen, the smell also come to the bathrooms/showers. The dorms are a bit small there is not a lot of space to put the bags.

+Ich habe auf meiner ganzen 6 monatigen Reise selten so einen lieben Host kennengelernt! Ich habe im Dorm mit AC geschlafen. Die Betten waren groß, es gab Vorhänge und auch eine Steckdose und Licht am Bett. Es gibt ein Aufenhaltsraum drinnen und draußen zum chillen und Leute kennenlernen. Außerdem gibt es auch eine Küche zum kochen. Die WC und Duschen sind leider renovierungsbedürftig, für das Preis-Leistungs Verhältnis für mich aber absolut okay. Lage ist auch absolut perfekt, mitten im Geschehen aber trotzdem ruhig! Wie bereits gesagt ist der Host unfassbar großzügig und warmmütig. Er hat mir alle Fragen beantwortet und mich außerdem am ende meines Aufenthaltes zum Bus gebracht und mit mir gewartet bis der richtige kam. Außerdem habe ich ein Discount erhalten, was sehr großzügig von ihm war! Eine Massage hat man sogar auch noch gratis bekommen - also wirklich toll!!
