fantastic restaurant, really good food, love the little separate bed areas in the shared dorms - made it feel more private

Food was fantastic along with the ambience. Staff are very friendly and accommodating

It had a lovely vibe. the bar was excellent. the staff were superb. the food was exceptional. it was so close to the sea, just to chill and watch the day pass. every one was so friendly.

Great location, breakfast options were awesome! Great hospitality too and staff did best to accommodate us even if some food items were not available. Overall excellent visit.

Understandably as the property is surrounded by a lot of natural things there were many bugs - and the coil did help with this although in my partners case, he did wake up with bites. This could be improved by installing some more powerful coils but these are minor things!

Unique dorm set up allowing for lots of privacy and personal space. Spacious shared bathroom. Immaculately clean. Incredible food at restaurant. Yoga shala, with mats and props, for personal practice.

Music is quite loud throughout day and night.

it super close to the beach, just takes a minute. it’s clean and you have your own privacy, which is really nice. the breakfast is really tasty!

its a bit overpriced in my opinion. it’s nice but I think it’s a bit pricy comparative food other places/ what you get. however, I would still recommend going

The location is very good and convenient as it is right on Hiriketiya beach. It has a modern/ fancy restaurant, so if you like this style you will find it nice. Also the pool was nice and the host was friendly.

The double room was very small and there was no space at all to store our things. The ceiling fan made too much noise. The most important of all was that the rooms are right next to the restaurant/bar where there is music from morning until late at night. We didn't feel like we could relax in this hotel or sleep well. Also, the service in the restaurant was very slow, for example we waited 1 hour for our breakfast to arrive. If I'm in the area again I'll visit for a drink but not to stay.

Hirikiteya is a small but pretty beach. Expect digital nomads, surfers, couples and hipster families. Dots is at its heart, everyone comes here to eat or for live music in the evening. Staff was friendly, the food was really tasty, the vibe was good..

I stayed in one of their bungalows, airy and clean. However, since it is close to the restaurant it is noisy in the evening. While I was there they had live music, so you need ear plugs to sleep. I also felt that it was quite pricey, I think you could stay for much less with the same comfort nearby.

location. clean

service was a bit laid back

Great location next to beach, amazing set up with excellent food and pool and lovely staff (shout out to Dili), cool aesthetic

Naturally the jungle comes with bugs. We enjoy music and missed all of these nights during our 2 night stay but beware loud events Saturday, Tuesday, Thursday.

I loved the atmosphere at Dots. Right there next to the beach, lovely staff, a perfect place for your stay in Hiriketiya!

This rapidly growing beautiful bay is the ideal beach getaway, especially for surfers. The staff at Dots (Shafni, Madu, Dilli etc) are INCREDIBLE! Location is perfect and we’d do it again. Great breakfast and nothing was too much trouble!

A heads up on the live music nights would have been a good idea, spring for the air con rooms further away from the dance floor.

Great vibe, location and facilities

The hostel room was clean and comfy but quite loud - mainly the loud doors in/out of the room.

Very authentic spot. This is a 2nd time I visited Hiriketiya and I decided to stay at Dots again simply because the place is unlike any other hostel/hotels in the area. It's right on the beach, so you wake up and jump in the sea, and if you prefer pool it has one right in the middle of the jungle which makes it so relaxing. Rooms are super clean and comfortable, had the best sleep in ages. The food is always delicious and plenty of healthy options. I recommend granola for breaky and prawn curry for lunch 🤤 Staff is probably the best part of Dots, always smiling and happy to help with anything you need.
