    We LOVED hiricurry - we actually stayed there for a total of 11 nights as we fell in love with Hiriketiya and didn't want to leave! the staff were so accommodating for us. The breakfast was also delicious! And we couldn't have picked a better location, only a 5-10 min walk to the beach, so we could surf everyday! Thank you so much for having us!

    Adding mosquito nets on the bottom bunks would be nice :)

    We came as a group of 4 and had a dorm for ourselves which we loved. You can also lock the door! The food was great for both breakfast and dinner. Theres a really nice area outside to eat/ hang out. Friendly and welcoming staff. And the location is good, very close to both hiriketiya and dickwella beaches!

    1 shared bathroom on one floor isn't ideal for a beach town.The space is great and the food is 🔥🔥

    I wouldn't however recommend the space to anyone who would be uncomfortable sharing one bathroom with all the people from the same floor. Hiriketiya is a beach town, which means you'll need a shower which could be occupied

    The beds and the space outside the hostel were great. Good staff, great food would highly recommend

    The rooms are modern, everyone has their own ventilator above bed, mosquito mesh protectors. For breakfast there is a traditional curry buffet. Nice place to stay and everything is nearby, restaurants store a a short walk to the beach :)

    Great place with nice outdoor area

    There are a few things that could be improved to make it a really great place. The toilet needs to be cleaned more regularly and better (not just wipe the floors. The sink etc needs cleaning too). It would also be nice to have something to wipe the floor with in the bathroom so that everyone can do it after showering. The locks on the doors should probably be changed as they are very tricky to close and easily spring open if someone turns the handle from the outside. A rack to hang wet clothes on after being on the beach would be nice. It would be great if it was mentioned in the name of the private room that it's a shared toilet. It's in the description, but it's easy to miss (like we did, our fault😅)

    The breakfast was great (Sri Lankan breakfast) and the room was good. It was clean and it was nice with two fans. A mosquito net would have been nice, but with the fans it was not really an issue. The outdoor area is very nice! The staff was very friendly. The location is perfect, it's just between Hiriketiya and Dikwella.

    There was one small problem that that main light in my room did not work but there was separate lights for each dorm anyway so it was fine. BUT THEN… after 1-2 days of my stay they changed the lights in the room 🥹🥹 so I have nothing bad to say whatsoever 🧡👌

    The food here is impressive, like seriously impressive. And so cheap you won’t find cheaper home cooks food. The staff here are honestly so Freindly, my iPhone broke and straight away without hesitation Sam drove me around to different phone shops until I sorted it. It’s so close to the beach and WiFi is excellent. I was meant to stay 2 days. Of course I engender my stay! Super chill, super nice, super cheap, super safe!

    Everything was beyond our expectation.

    The hostel seems to be quite new and located in the main street to Hiriketiya Bay. I sayed here with my friend for two nights and the experience was positive. The manager, Sameera, and his assistant were really friendly and welcoming. They were always going above and beyond to make sure that all our demands were met. The breakfast was very local and delicious. The restaurant operated throughout the day until dinner time, and it was responsibly priced while making it one of the best places to try out some local cousins in Hiriketiya. The wifi worked well on the ground floor where we stayed, which helped me to do some work while staying there.. The beds in the dorm room were very comfortable and modern, and each had our own towel. All the beds had bed lamps as well as fans. Also, the hostel offers us free lockers to keep our valuables with was great. We had a shared washroom, and it was clean while there were a few more other washrooms in the property. The location is about 5 mins away from the beach as well as towards the main road, which I found to be a good advantage. Recommend for both budget travellers and food lovers! Thank you, team. We shall see you again soon.

    I slept in down bunk and they didn’t had mosquito net and i got eaten by so many mosquitos. Also not social hostel at all. And the breakfast was interesting, and the staff told us to take some of the breakfast by our hands so not the most hygienic atmosphere. The location is great near by the beach and all main areas, but still wouldn’t stay again. Tho wouldn’t expect to be better because its cheap.

    Free breakfast & shower pressure is great
