We had a great stay at the ED Corner. We were given a delicious welcome drink on arrival. The room was lovely with a comfortable bed that had a mosquito net. The bathroom was very cool with an open roof and palm tree in the middle. The wifi and air conditioning worked well. The location was close to restaurants, walking distance to Hiriketiya beach and Dickwella beach and ATMs. Also the bus stop was close by too. The man who runs this hotel was super helpful. We enjoyed our stay so much here we decided to extend for an extra night.

Very simple and essential but perfect if you want to work in peace because the wifi is good! And there is a kitchen so you can as well cook. It's suitable for short and long stays. Would definitely recommend.

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.
