It is very nice, a hidden place with lovely people. The room is comfortable, the food is good, and the staff is friendly. They offer various programs close to their place. We went on a boat ride in the lagoon, which was only a few minutes' walk from the house. It was worth it!

Just a little reading lamp would be nice ;)

Great value for money - really clean, cosy and comfortable room with AC, nice garden, great food and drinks. Outside of the busy turistic area, so the beach was basically empty, just some extremely friendly locals giving us sea shells :)

The only small criticism I had was the water pressure in the bathroom sink tap is very low. The guest house can be a little hard to find from the main road, so bring a GPS phone

The people, young family, and other staff were extremely helpful, friendly and hospitable, welcoming guests with fresh juice on arrival! The breakfast was particularly tasty and a traditional SriLanka breakfast was a tasty treat.

The location is off the main road, very peaceful and surrounded by greenery and nature. Just a short 2 minute stroll from the back of the property, down to the beach. The beach was empty, and the waves were wild, but it was great for frolicking in the foam and the waves at the shoreline. The family went above and beyond to make us feel at home. They were kind and attentive, and nothing was too much trouble for them. The food was exceptional - the best we had all holiday. Homecooked, flavourful, plentiful, and just downright delicious. We truly felt spoilt there.

No complaints

Can walk along the beach. Great breakfast. Air conditioning worked well. Our dinner was prepped in-house which was delicious and great value. We had seafood, Sri Lankan style. Very helpful host.

It is a basic, yet clean and fully equipped place. No complaints

We are a family of four and loved our stay here. Bandulas is exactly as advertised: Simple, great location close to the beach, air-conditioned rooms, great curry and exceptionally friendly staff - from Sampath to the chef to all the other guys who played Carrom with the kids and made our stay very relaxing. We will be back!

A great place for a relaxing holiday. We are simply in love with this calm atmosphere, hospitable team (attentive to every guest), always delicious and freshly prepared food (which is tastier and cheaper than in other places, and really large portions), an incredibly beautiful private beach (we swam with the child, despite the waves -it’s quite shallow and we walked for hours along the deserted beach line, enjoying incredible views. The rooms are clean, with air conditioning and comfortable beds, some rooms have their own cozy terraces. We also really liked the location, its very close to popular Hikkaduwa, but there is not so much crowding, and there is space for private time. It is also a very convenient location for trips to Galle, Unawatuna and other places - near the train station, many tuk tuks and a bus stop. You can order a transfer, use the laundry service, book excursions, snorkeling, fishing. I was with a 9 yo child, we felt very safe and comfortable, enjoyed the magnificent flora and fauna, squirrels, birds, lizards, peacock, encountered something new every day. Many thanks to this wonderful friendly family for our wonderful holiday. Thanks to Udayanga, thanks to Kusal (by the way, he speaks Russian her well and his care and help in everything was simply priceless), many thanks to the chef for the incredible food and to everyone who keeps it clean and cozy! We miss you very much and wish your hotel prosperity and well-being!

Nothing

Everyone was very friendly and helpful, providing details of local trips. We were lucky and saw a turtle laying her eggs on the beach behind the hotel. The food was tasty and reasonably.priced

They were celebrating a birthday and could not sleep the first night on account of the noise. I know it was exceptional, but still music should have stopped at midnight, it went on till 3.00am

Breakfast was copious and excellent

Very nice and quiet place next to the beach.

To close the door you have to lock it, which can be a bit of a hassle when one is outside and the other inside.

Staff was super nice and helpful. They cooked delicious meals for us. The setting is very peaceful and tranquil. Nice baby crib.

Some of the bathroom equipment was not the newest, but everything was perfectly clean.

Such a great, quiet place with an amazingly kind host! Great for all guests enjoying the silence there and if desired the proximity to places with less silence. The beautiful, quiet beach is so close, the lovely garden is such a great place for the breakfast, a coffee, a book, etc.. The Sri Lankan breakfast there was the best I've got so far, even after one more week on Sri Lanka. It was a pleasure being your guest!

The location itself was excellent, albeit a bit hard to find at first as it lies well behind the main road. However it isn't walking distance to the main part of Hikwaduwa. We got off to a bad start as the room we booked and paid extra for was given to another booking in error. We were initially told this would be rectified in 3-4 hours and were given another room in the meantime. Our first day in Hikwaduwa was essentially waiting around to move rooms, only for the other persons to arrive back and refuse to move and we'd have to wait till the next day. We were offered $5 off our booking which was a poor gesture considering the disruption involved. The room itself was what was pictured, however the balcony was not enjoyable to use as there would be smoke blowing through on a regular basis. The shower was incredibly weak and mostly cold water. The lock on the door was broken and we were provided with a padlock in it's place which wasn't ideal and very loud to make use of. By far the best feature of the beach house was the direct pathway access to a secluded beach with loungers to use which was incredible.
