Beautiful location
I love the location and the concept of clay houses. The welcome cold towel and fresh juice was amazing.
The cleaning was not the best and plug accessibility. I have request two times some information from reception and he never get came back to me.

Prima plek maar prijs kwaliteit staat niet in verhouding.
De locatie was perfect en het zitgedeelte voor het ontbijt en de ligbedden waren geweldig.
Breakfast took 45 minutes and then it turned out they made the wrong dish.

Not for long-term relaxing and chilling, better for shorter stays, but still pricey
Great location, beautiful gardens overlooking the ocean. Staff are very friendly and helpful, but lots of them lack good English skills (at this price this should be better). Mosquito protection was readily provided upon request. Bathroom door was fixed when requested. Manager dealt with issues at the end.
The Standard Double Sea View cottage was US$110/ night which is way too pricey. I booked this for 5 nights as a relaxed stay after 2 weeks of travelling with friends, but there is no lounge area with comfortable chairs in the shade, or even hammocks or bean bags. Not that this was advertised, but should be expected at that rate. The room itself is tiny, one side of the bed is approx. 40cm from the wall and has the aircon sticking out on top. There is no hanging space, not much surface space, no bedside tables. Light switches are opposite the bed at the door, which isn’t ideal once you’re under the mosquito net. The only plugs are behind the fridge, so the whole cupboard with fridge had to be moved to access the plugs. My adapter didn't fit the outdoor plug. The bathroom has no cupboards, nowhere to put any toiletries other than some space for shampoos by the shower. There is a bright light bulb at the mirror above the sink. Ants are busy working around the sink. There is no shower gel, only soap. The pipes in the bathroom leak, not much, but it's constantly wet and the dripping can be heard at night. I didn't mention this to anyone after reading the review about the stolen Ray Bans. None of the photos on booking.com show that room, the interior photos are all of the family rooms. Room service only happens on request and then everything is replaced, rather than just quickly tidied. There is nobody around before breakfast, which starts at 8.30 with an average waiting time of 1 hour. I had much better breakfast in Sri Lanka for a fraction of the price. Not sure about lunch or dinner, there were occasional visitors, but it was never busy. All in all this place lacks attention to detail and the Western standard the price suggests. Only men working here means a lack of the feminine touch missing in the design of the room, even though that's typical for Sri Lanka.

Just amazing view, nothing else…
Very good location, close to restaurants and beaches. Beautiful view. Most of the staff were very friendly and helpful.
The room has no storing space, nowhere to hang your clothes or put your stuff. The wifi was almost never working, they promised every day that this situation will pass, we stayed there for a week and it never started working. So if you need to work on your laptop, then this place is definitely not for you. Be ready to wait for your breakfast at least 1-2 hours every morning. There were many times when people just left, because they could not wait any longer for their breakfast. There is no buffet, you need to order from the menu. Also, the water pressure in the bathroom is very weak, so it takes a while to wash yourself. Overall, unfortunately it is just not worth the money, it is relatably expensive and the facilities just do not add up to the price.

Amazing ocean view and location. Unfortunately a few issues
- the Sea View huts hold an amazing view over the water - great location within hirikiteya between the two main beaches with both in walking distance - the staff were very lovely and helpful for the issues we experienced
- stayed in a group; 1 x sea view and 1 x garden view. Unfortunately, upon arrival, there were large numbers of mosquitos in both rooms, including inside the mosquito net. After emptying a full can of bug spray, it settled within the sea view room but unfortunately they kept entering the garden view room. The staff flagged there was recent heavy waterfall and they were likely entering through the drain. Staff agreed that left that room inhospitable due to the sheer number however they were helpful to eventually organise alternative accomodation at a sister accomodation. The door to the garden view room also wasn’t locking. - several occasions of power cutting out but this is likely Hirikiteya and not a fault of the accomodation. Just to be aware. - wifi didn’t work optimally and struggled to receive good data coverage (again maybe a Hirikiteya thing, not accomodations fault - just to be aware) - Garden view room does not capture the magic of the property - strongly suggest a sea view room. - I’ll caveat this all by saying we only stayed one night. Remove the large number (easily 20-30 upon arrival) of mosquitos within the room and other issues may have been easier to overlook. Overall it’s a lovely property, staff are kind, just a few finesse issues. I would consider staying again in future as it’s a shame and the issues are not entirely within the accomodations control. Thank you to the staff for your help with our stay.

The perfect holiday spot to unwind and explore
The accommodation in general was very nice, set in a peaceful and convenient spot. Very well maintained and clean with all the amenities you need. You can step into a beautiful and super safe rock pool right in the backyard of the hotel. I even found the perfect spot to do my morning meditations sitting on a rock overlooking the sea. The staff was friendly, kind, super helpful and very professional. They helped me out with WiFi so I could work without an issue. The place has their own cute restaurant, but is also located just a short walk away from Hiri's famous beaches and popular eateries. I'd definitely recommend a stay here. Definitely worth the money!!!

Nice basic house with great views
Very nice location, welcoming and nice staff. Restaurant area was beautiful. Beautiful view from the house with a nice little porch to sit. Good mosquito net.
The clay hut was quite small and there was nowhere to unpack your clothes. Also no shelf or anything in the bathroom. I just expected a little more comfort for the price. bad WiFi.
