“Comfortable, enjoyable stay.”
+Big room / bathroom with a big, comfortable bed. Very quiet especially considering how close the busy road is! Air con and fan worked well. Excellent host - very friendly and welcoming.
−No fridge in room. Also no mirror in the room, only in the bathroom. No soap in the bathroom for hand washing. The accommodation is located on a very busy road which although you can’t hear when in the property, you have to walk along it to get to restaurants / beach etc. The main tourist bit of Dickwella is actually about 10 min walk east which is much quieter and has more restaurants etc. Still easy to get to but would have preferred to stay within that area as we ended up walking there every day/evening.

“High value for money”
+The host was incredible, very responsive, very thoughtful and helped with many things. For the price charged, the room is very comfortable
−The lack of a window gets to you after a few days, and the Internet wasn't always working well

“Amazing stay at Thisu Villa”
+The room and bathroom were very spacious and clean. One of the best rooms we stayed in during our time in Sri Lanka. The property looks very new and the room has got all the facilities that you need for your stay. The host is very friendly and always available. They offer extra services such as cold water bottles or laundry for a very reasonable price. Breakfast is simple but good and has some variation. We could park our Tuktuk on the premises. The place is located next to a very busy street but you do not hear any noice, which is perfect. The walk to the beach takes approximately 10 minutes and Hiriketiya is approximately a 15 minute walk.
−Coffee or tea during breakfast would be a good addition.

“We have enjoyed our stay, no street noise, and the beach easily accessible.”
+The breakfast was great, but it was too much for us. The bed was comfortable, and the shower was good.
−It would have been nice if there had been a power socket close to the breakfast area. When you are working during your holiday, it would be nice to have your laptop charged and not have to work in your room where there is a power socket.

“Excellent accommodation, but location is in the middle of a bustling town... not beachfront”
+Very well presented, modern and clean bedroom and bathroom. Decent breakfast, good air conditioning and very good communications from the helpful owner. Very comfortable bed, and a quiet night's sleep despite being in the centre of Dickwella.
−The property is described as "beachfront", and "90m from the beach", neither of which are accurate. The property is actually in the middle of Dickwella town which is a bustling (non-touristy) area full of local shops and businesses. The property is at the end of a small alley full of local shops, but somehow manages to be quiet. The biggest issue is that the property is not "beachfront". The nearest access to Dickwella beach is about 5 minutes walk away, though that part of the beach is not used and has no facilities. It is then another 5-10 minute walk to reach the "nice" beach (with facilities). The property is lovely, but should not be advertised as beachfront, nor 90m from the beach.

“Definitely recommended!”
+The king size bed was the most comfortable I had during my 2 month stay in Sri Lanka. The hosts are super sweet and caring and we really enjoyed our stay here.

“Amazing property and amazing owners!”
+This place is a real hidden gem! The owners are so welcoming and friendly and the breakfast each morning was SO good! Everything was spotlessly clean and modern and the room had everything you need in terms of AC, plugs by the bed etc. The location is also perfect, right next to dikwella beach and only a short walk down to Hiriketiya beach. 100% recommend!!
−Nothing at all, this place is fantastic!

“Schöner Aufenthalt”
+Wir haben uns während unseres Aufenthalts sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Zimmer sind sehr schön und stilvoll eingerichtet. Das Frühstück war ebenfalls lecker. Der Eigentümer bereitet alles selbstständig zu. Außerdem wurden wir von ihm noch bei Tuk Tuk Transferen unterstützt.
