This is my home in Sri Lanka. I love the people, I love the lake, I love the THE CATS and the dog. Came here to stay for a few days, thought I could stay maybe for 2 weeks if I like it, and ended up staying for 4 weeks in total :) The location is perfect for me. It is away from the crowded areas, very close to the lake so you are surrounded by nature in a quite place basically. It is also not very far away from the town. So you can take the bike, rent the scooter, get on the local bus or tuktuk and it only takes a few minutes to reach to the town. The rooms are comfortable and clean, you can have a boat ride, you can use the kitchen and cook for yourself too. You can also have a cooking class for a small price. I had my best rice and curry here in this hostel. Thank you Berto, Sri, and Manee for having me. I can’t wait to come back again.

I stayed one night at White House & Seafood Restaurant in Hikkaduwa and had a lovely experience. The room was very clean, comfortable, and well maintained, making it a great place to rest. The location is excellent, with easy access to the beach and convenient options to walk, catch a tuk tuk, or hop on a bus to reach nearby tourist spots. What really stood out was how warm and welcoming the family was — it’s a genuinely friendly, family-run business that makes you feel at home. Highly recommend staying here when visiting Hikkaduwa.

All hostels in Hikkaduwa

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
