Pros: The staffs were super kind, the location was amazing, and the room was very clean.

Cons: The internet was slow.

Pros: Nice place,big room, very clean, very friendly stuff ( Hi, Ranga)

Pros: Clean, friendly staff

Cons: No cable tv service for the 2 days I was there (said antenna has been hit by lightning) Sliding door to balcony didn’t lock Internet strength on the upper floor was quite low (1 bar dropping in / out) Maybe 500m from the main road so quiet but a bit of a dark walk down some back streets for a solo woman at night

Pros: Very friendly and helpful personal. Our room was very comfy and clean. Room service included. Recommended place where you can stay in Hikkaduwa.

Cons: Breakfast was good, but nothing special.

Pros: Everything very clean spacious staff could not do enough it was the best stay in Sri Lanka and very good value

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Beautiful spacious room with a nice view from the private balcony. Charming and calm location at 4 min walking distance to the Hikkaduwa main street and beach. Very nice staff. Sri Lankan breakfast was delicious

Cons: The only thing I disliked was the bedsheets. Of course they were washed but they still had some visible stains from previous guests on it.

Pros: Nothing to say except it was the best Hotel we had on our 2 weeks Trip at Sri Lanka!

Pros: Top Spot, directly at the Beach, super cute House and couple who hosts you so nice!!

Cons: Nothing to complain about, only a little too high priced

Pros: The whole experience was great. The couple who own the oriental rest and their chef were always helpful and polite. The breakfast and meals provided for us in the evenings were both excellent and good value. The sun loungers and umbrellas on a well designed terrace raised above the edge of the beach were of good quality. The Beach here is very quiet and swimming in the sea was great.The covered area was a good spot for meals and again looked out over the ocean. The palm trees in the garden area were lovely and gave extra shade. Our room was clean and tidy and was serviced regularly it had a nice shaded terrace with views to the ocean through the palms. Shower and a/c were both of a good standard (the bathroom having been updated fairly recently). The property is a lovely walk along the beach (about 3.5km) to the center of Hikkaduwa with numerous places to eat and drink on the way. Because all four rooms are facing the beach the sound of the waves overrides most road noise and so we slept really well. This is an older property that has been very tastefully updated with some lovely artistic touches.

Pros: It is great that the hotel is a bit far from the crazy center of Hikkaduwa with ongoing party, the sound of ocean is clear and you can hear it even in your room. The owner and his wife are keeping the place clean and neat, they have a nice old-man who is a Chef and he knows how to cook tuna in a way that you would be ready to die for another piece of it. Cozy rooms, A/C set perfect and keeps the room cool enough, clean and very good shower room, the chairs right by the room make it more comfortable for you, if you wish to enjoy a glass of wine in the evening.

Pros: Staff and location

Cons: This is not good location during off season

Pros: Great location on the beach. Wonderful hosts who really went out their way to make our stay comfortable. Upon request They arranged for a airport transfer from Colombo airport and a 2 wheeler to get around town. It’s small property with only 4 rooms with plenty of privacy and personal attention by the hosts. Special mention must be made of the delicious breakfast they serve consisting of an assorted fruit platter, yogurt with honey and eggs and toast. Great value for money!!

Pros: Villa right at the beach - you feel like in paradise! Located in a quieter area, you are just a one-minute tuk tuk ride away from the main beach. Very clean beach, relaxed atmosphere. The host and his wife and staff are welcoming you like their own family and you do really feel that you arrived in a place with lots of positive energy. There is a security guard making you feel safe all night (and meanwhile being very discrete) and the chef cooks delicious dinner (for example fresh seafood cought by a friend). Extremely clean. You can also book tours, diving and a taxi. The host really goes the extra mile to provide VIP feeling! If you go to Hikkaduwa, you MUST stay here!!!

Cons: -

Pros: Beautiful location, helpful staff and the owner. They still clean up and want to do everything you see in your eyes. Breakfast overlooking the ocean was wonderful. We thank you for everything.

Cons: Big waves in the ocean. No bars and restaurants around the Oriental rest. To Hikkaduwa city center by tuk tuk for 200 LKR.

Pros: We are so happy we choose this place for our stay in Hikkaduwa , the villa was amazing with a stunning sea view , away from the center so the beach was all ours . the place is run by a local family , a very nice couple who made feel like we where home , it was very clean and confortable . we loved the breakfast at the terrasse , food was delicious and the chef was very nice , he made whatever we asked for . we had an amazing stay and will definitely recommande this place to our friends and of course we will go back !

Pros: Lovely place with an amazing staff and breakfast. Excellent location,clean,quite and calm relaxing place. We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed well. The renovations have only been done recently and the design is amazing. A friendly staff and breakfast was great. I would definitely recommend this place.

Pros: Great location with direct view with sea, excellent breakfirst. Very nice couple provide heartwarming service.

Cons: might be better if every room can receive Wifi.

Pros: Pool immaculate and clean Breakfast was plentiful fruit juice was lovely and the scrambled eggs were delicious Staff were all friendly and the grounds were pwell maintained Good fridge in room

Cons: The Mrs prefers a softer mattress

Pros: It was very clean and the staff was very friendly. Always pleased to make us feel comfortable.

Pros: Very quiet, very clean.

Cons: Nothing, all good.

Pros: Great little place, immaculately clean and very well run

Pros: This hotel is a slice of heaven! We stayed for 5 nights at the end of our trip and id love to go back and spend 2 weeks at This hotel. The place is spotless and really well maintained. We stayed in a gorgeous room looking out over the pool which was super clean. The staff are so friendly and helpful and even Kevin(the dog) was our best friend in no time. It's a short tuk tuk ride or 20 min walk to the main town/beach which is full of nice restaurants and shops! I'd highly recommend this hotel and hope to go back and visit soon.

Pros: The accommodation the facilities the food were wonderful owner and staff very friendly and polite Nothing was to much Will go again

Cons: Nothing it was almost perfect.

Pros: Absolutely amazing paradise in the jungle, yet near the beach and restaurants. Only short tuktuk ride away. Super quiet and comfortable.  The staff is so nice and everywhere is spotless clean. Breakfast was great, and we had also a few good lunches by the pool. The place is so small, that you get to know all the quests and staff, which was great. The staff would do anything for you. I heard the suites are awesome, but our villa was just perfect. Also the place looked better in real life than in the pictures.

Pros: Everything was perfect, we really enjoyed our stay in this hotel. We had a room on the first floor with the terrace - the room was even better than we expected, comfortable and clean. We had very good breakfasts, and had no doubt that in the restaurant was served only fresh food, that’s why if we had a chance we prefered to have our meal there, prices were acceptable. The staff of the hotel is amazing, very honest, patient, flexible and attentive to every guest, we’ve been really surprised looking how carefully everyone was doing his job. If we had any problem, it was fixed immediately. The manager gave us some good recommendations about places to see, we realized that his options were optimal in terms of quality and price. The location of the hotel is perfect - it is surrounded by nature, very calm and quite atmosphere, however it is close to Hikkaduwa with good infrastructure (you can get to it by Tuk-Tuk), the beach is 15 minutes walk, and the beach is good, long and wide. If we come back to Sri Lanka, we’ll choose this hotel.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: The view from our suite was amazing, wild peacocks, all varieties of birds and monkeys. Lovely modern , clean place with friendly efficient staff. Security was good as the place is quite remote but only a short cheap tuk ride to beach ,shops,, restuarants or railway station. Allowed to stock fridge with your own drinks. Perfect place for us !

Cons: Nothing !

Pros: We had a fantastic stay at Vesma Villas. The hotel and facilities were wonderful and the staff was really the best. -So thoughtful and friendly. We can definitely recommend the property!!

Cons: Bathroom could do with more lighting.

Pros: Unbelievable hotel! Amazing big rooms with beautiful ocean view. Tasty breakfast. Very friendly staff!

Pros: Amazing location. Extremely interesting concept when it comes to architecture and interior design. Amazing cuisine, especially the Sri Lankan menu. In general the place is a gem.

Cons: There was no reception 24/7, maybe because it was low season. Staff's knowledge of English very basic.

Pros: Staff were very good and helpful. Room upgrade was great. Only issue front door was rubbing and handle fell off.

Cons: Front door to Room.

Pros: Stayed in Jasmine room. Large room with balcony overlooking the lake. Large bathroom with bath and shower plus his and hers sinks. Breakfast very good. Pool clean and good size. Very good meals and snacks. Very enjoyable stay.

Pros: A cut above the rest, it’s a credit to Dale and his team that they manage to maintain their high standard all year round and have done for as long as I have been visiting Hikkaduwa which is over 9 years

Pros: The location, the cleanliness, well maintained garden with beautiful Flowers and Trees the Swimming Pool the fresh cooked food, very happy with the service, we will return. An excellent Boutique Hotel, around and about the Asian Jewel, there are many birds to spot, if you are interested in Birds.

Pros: It was a truly memorable stay at Asian Jewel Boutique Hotel. We went on a family trip and stayed one night there. The staff was so nice and polite. They were always helpful. We stayed in Kingfisher room which was very clean and had a private balcony with a great view of the nearby lake. Room was spacious enough. The neighborhood was calm and quiet. They had a little but clean pool at the front. The food was great and we got to know that their restaurant is much popular for nice food.

Cons: It would have been great if there was a shower cubicle in the bath and coupe of arm chairs in the room, but these are just minor points when you consider the great service provided by the hotel and its staff.

Pros: Location is beautiful and staff excellent, led by English owner, Dale. Tea/coffee making facility and also has a safe, balcony and excellent shower. Restaurant serves the best food we had in Sri Lanka. We ate dinner there twice. Extensive menu with local and western dishes.

Cons: No eggs for breakfast one morning as they had run out, even though only 2 rooms occupied. We were not offered a breakfast box on last morning when we had to leave for the airport at 7.30. A lot of noise (3 out of 5 nights) til 1am due to a nearby wedding.

Pros: We have eaten at the restaurant of the Asian Jewel for some years but this is the first time we have stayed in the hotel. It delivered everything we have come to expect. Probably the best Hotel / Restaurant combo in the Hikkaduwa area. Staff are exceptional as is the overall service.

Cons: Nothing, our stay exceeded our expectations in pretty much every department

Pros: We’ve been to Sri Lanka many times and stayed in many different places but this easily ranks as one of the favourites, so much so we’ve returned 3 times. Beautiful setting, excellent rooms, brilliant staff and very very tasty food.

Pros: Quite simply this was the best hotel we stayed in on our month trip to Sri Lanka. The room was large, clean and well equipped, the bathroom had all the hot water you could wish for. The Hotel pool was perfect for a swim or just to relax around on a "day off". The restaurant served fantastic food, so good in fact we ate ever meal in it during our stay. All in all a wonderful stay, if your reading this review then just book this place, you won't regret it.

Pros: Very nice views, staff extremely professional, very helpful, very good fresh food

Cons: Room should be cleaned at least at least every second day

Pros: Great Location, owner very helpful and friendly, other staff where great

Cons: The manager was a very bad communicator, and got us a driver that was just as bad, did not know where he was taking us

Cons: Accommodation was very poor and dated. The photos were very inaccurate. I had booked the deluxe room which was far from deluxe! It was very dussapounting and we were surprised to discover the hotel a short walk from Pearl Island, which happens to be newly built and to excellent standards would have cost almost the same price as the room I had booked. I would not recommend this hotel.

Pros: The staff were very friendly and helpful and the location was great! Close enough to the main strip of restaurants and shops but far away enough to be quiet and the beach in front of the hotel was lovely.

Cons: There is nothing NOT to love here!

Pros: The pool was superb and location to beach, town and shops excellent. Beach was the best we’ve seen in Sri Lanka - Hikkaduwa is beautiful Fridge in room was a bonus. Breakfast was lovely - we ordered Sri Lankan breakfast, and note that if you want this you must advise staff the day before. Coffee the best we’ve had. Can recommend the fresh and light noodles and rice for dinner.

Cons: A couple of issues in bathroom which I’m sure will be fixed for future guests. Ground floor rooms quite exposed so had to have curtains closed which then made room dark. No kettle in room which for price was disappointing. Overall a good stay but our expectations were higher based on price.

Pros: On the beach with a very good outdoor pool,staff we’re very helpful and polite, food was very good for the money. If you needed anything you only had to ask and they would help enjoyed our stay very much

Cons: Dogs can bit noisy early morning, but that seems to be the normal everywhere

Pros: The staff, the facilities, the food, the location, the price. In fact I could not have asked for more from the hotel and staff. The hotel is right on the beach, and is ideal for a family as the beach has a gentle incline into the sea. It is one of the very few hotels in the area that had rooms with mosquito nets over the beds, not that it was needed, but it gave piece of mind.

Cons: There is nothing that comes to mind, the hotel was just perfect and after staying a week was sad to leave.

Pros: Great welcome by Peter and the rest of the staff. Room and bathroom was big and clean. Excellent location if you choose to relax and if you choose to be busy (10min walking towards bars & restaurant)

Pros: Firstly the staff are AMAZING and so friendly. The chef is outstanding. He was kind enough to let my mother join him in the kitchen to learn how to cook his delicious curry and then he bought us spices so we could make at home. The location is great. Lovely quite part of the beach but only a short walk to the busier part and surf spots. Breakfast was delicious and very filling. Rooms cleaned everyday and communal areas always pristine.

Cons: Nothing, it was amazing.

Pros: Highly recommended for couple who are looking for some alone time!

Pros: Very charming, family style hotel at a quiet part of Hikkaduwa beach. Direct beach access. Very nice and helpful staff.

Cons: Hot water was not always available, so sometimes we had to shower with cold water (were offered a discount when leaving, though).

Pros: The room was clean and very cute with an amazing beach view, meals were delicious and staffs were really friendly. Highly recommend this place.

Cons: None

Pros: Always clean, quiet.

Cons: Pool on wrong side of property.

Pros: Really nice place right at the beach! Breakfast was delicious and the view was amazing!

Cons: Air conditioning was really loud so we needed to turn it off for nights so we could sleep. Otherwise everything else was great!

Cons: The furniture look old and the shower very weak, the bed comfort is ok but really look like a guest home more than a hotel

Pros: Sanje was a gentleman. Great fun. The manager was welcoming and sought to our needs.

Cons: The pool just wasn't appealing. Also a little pricey in all honesty. Probably 25percent too pricey.

Pros: Rooms very spacious clean Excellent service food was excellent

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Food options for breakfast were good. The dinner buffet was a bit pricey but ok.

Cons: We felt compared to other hotels we stayed at in Sri Lanka the price and the quality of services was not excellent. The subbathing area is populated by crows, and there is a dominance of eastern Europeans ’saving’ the best sunbeds for hours, only by leaving their towel there.

Pros: The location and the staff were really good It’s good place for family

Cons: Nothing

Cons: Had to wait in the lobby on our only sunny day there to continually dispute their tries at transferring us to another hotel despite our wishes to stay with this hotel, the hotel we booked 11 days prior and called three hours before to confirm that all was ready. We called three hours in advance only because we had read reviews online that the hotel chain called Cinnamon Hotels which Chaaya Tranz Hikkaduwa is a part of, often over books their locations and tries to excitedly "upgrade" guests to a different hotel, despite their wishes. After continual disputes making our long start at the hotel extremely unpleasant, especially after a long day of travelling, we were finally given a room. After that point, we enjoyed our stay, the beautiful views, the pleasant staff, and beachside.

Pros: The most amazing hotel we have stayed in srilanka . The pool is super gorgeous amazing private beach with turtles visitng the beach kids had a wonderful time very cooperative staff the food was amazing!!! Great variety for breakfast . The mojitos at the pool bar were awesome the rooms were super clean amazing room service cleanliness on spot we loved our stay❤️❤️❤️

Cons: N/A

Cons: some of the things can improve more. but overall nothing

Pros: We stayed in an Ac room with hot water. Great water pressure. Clean large room with coffee making facilities and a fridge. The pool is gorgeous and really clean. The breakfast was the best of the trip so far. They served perfectly cooked eggs and bacon(bacon!!! We couldn’t believe it!!)

Cons: It’s next to a large pond so it’s very mossie heavy. The cleaner leaves the cleaning stuff (and there’s a lot. Buckets, mops, large hoover etc) strewn outside your balcony or on the lawn from 9am onwards which looks unsightly as you step over it and also when it’s only early it makes you feel pressured for no reason.

Pros: Nicest staff. Ilusha and Ilyas (sorry not sure about the spell), thank you for making our stay so comfortable! Great breakfast.

Cons: Garden needs an update. Could be nice place to hang around if was taken care of.

Pros: Very nice and cosy room, clean and stylish bathroom. Perfect staff and the beach view!!!!!

Cons: None

Pros: Perfect location. Beach is right near the hotel (literally 10m and absolutely not crowded). Hikkaduwa is 10 minutes walk (or 2 minutes by tuk-tuk) with all variety of restaurants. Fantastic stuff. Ileesha (Super-Ileesha;) and Ilias, thank you very much for making our vacation so memorable. They became real friends for us. I don't want to write all the details about our stay there but imagine the most open-hearted and kind people in the world, it's all about that two guys. Thank you for being our family those 2 weeks!
