    clean dorm
    crowded yoga
    dirty balcony

    bed dorm, spacious private room, fantastic garden

    The yoga studio is cramped with walk-ins, making it difficult to join!!! The private rooms can feel humid without AC, and the balconies need cleaning to enhance the experience!!!

    The unique open-air bathrooms here are a standout feature, making it feel like you're showering in nature rather than a typical hotel restroom. The rooms also have a lovely, architectural vibe, with many guests noting the enormous and comfortable beds in their spaces.

    Some rooms can feel a bit cramped and damp without AC, which might not sit well with everyone. There are also reports of maintenance issues, like door locks and light fixtures not functioning properly, and breakfast options could use a bit more variety based on previous guests' experiences. Lastly, some areas need proper upkeep, which can distract from the otherwise relaxing atmosphere.

    outdoor shower
    hammock courtyard
    outdoor bathroom

    I loved my stay here, especially the amazing outdoor shower and the cozy hammock in my courtyard. The outdoor swimming pool and sun terrace were perfect for relaxing after a long day. Just a heads up, the bathroom being outside can be a bit tricky with bugs, so bring some repellent! 🌴

    This place suits me perfectly with its outdoor swimming pool, yoga classes, and friendly staff who offered currency recommendations. I enjoyed the beautiful restaurant and the cool shade of the gardens. Highly recommend visiting with a friend for relaxation! I'm coming back soon for another city trip.

    friendly staff
    delicious breakfast
    inconsistent air conditioning

    Had an awesome group vacation! The included yoga was a highlight, and we loved discovering nearby hidden gems for swimming and biking. The friendly staff were super helpful, and we really enjoyed the delicious breakfast. The vibe was just right for relaxation and surf adventures.

    One of our rooms had inconsistent air conditioning, which was a bit frustrating.

    comfy dorms

    It was just a well-suited match for resting at all in Dickwella with extraordinarily good value for money. The dorms were super comfy, making it easy to relax after exploring. Try to request a spot by the pool. it's a nice chill zone.

    relaxing ambiance
    fresh energy bars
    maintenance issues
    early yoga sessions
    open bathroom

    The outdoor ambiance was truly relaxing, set amongst lush surroundings that made every moment enjoyable. Though the yoga sessions were quite early and I found some areas in need of maintenance, the fresh energy bars provided a delightful boost when snacks were needed. The lack of proper closure in the bathroom allowed for a few uninvited guests, making it less comfortable than expected.

    beautiful property
    kind staff
    delicious breakfast
    open bathroom

    beautiful property with minor drawbacks

    The property is indeed stunning, situated conveniently close to the beach. The breakfast offered unique flavors that set it apart from typical Sri Lankan options. The staff showed exceptional kindness, especially when they prepared baby food for us. The pool view from the garden added a serene touch to the overall experience.

    The open bathroom, while beautiful, may require some adjustments for guest comfort.

    wildlife bathroom

    Perfect for beach lovers!

    Such a chill spot! The staff was super friendly and helpful, always ready with a smile. The pool was awesome for the kids—partially shaded, so they could splash around comfortably. Food was delicious, especially the breakfast options. Just a heads up, the open bathrooms can be a bit of a wildlife adventure, so be prepared for some critters!

    open-air design
    homemade pastries
    inconsistent air conditioning
    lack of fridge
    early yoga sessions

    The open-air design creates a refreshing atmosphere, although it invites some unexpected wildlife. Breakfast offered delightful homemade pastries and satisfying pancakes. a great way to start the day. the air conditioning was inconsistent, and the lack of a fridge made it inconvenient to store drinks. Morning yoga sessions were too early for my liking, making participation challenging for those not keen on rising at the crack of dawn.
