Nadeeka and Ranjith are so kind hearted people. They always had time for a little chat. I could even use their kitchen to prepare some food. I slept in the dorm which was very comfortable. The whole house is new and has a very stylish interior and provide all the facilities you need for your stay. I stayed here a whole week and it felt like a home for me - especially because of these two beautiful human beings🙏🏽❤️

It was really great place to stay, we spend almost a week and it was really perfect. Host was really amazing, so helpful and at the end of our stay he even drove us to the bus stop to make sure that we get to the right bus. The place itself is quite simple, comfortable bed, simple bathroom with warm water, we had everything that we needed, including really nice tarace. I would definitely come back.

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.
