All good!

Perfect location right at the beach. We had the yellow cabana and it was just amazing. Best place of our trip!

The picture shows a balcony sea view , but there is only one room like this which was booked long term. Air conditioning would have been a nice touch although it would have been more expensive

Perfect location on the beach but our room was at the rear very basic and very hot. The room shown on the web site is the only room that has sea view balcony so a little bit ambiguous to say the least

Room could have had a small table to keep stuff, else overall for the price it was good value.

Amazing location, beachfront with a cosy sitting area... Walking distance to shops and bars. Was off the main road yet very quite and safe. Great restraunt in house with excellent food. Great value.

I loved the place. I loved the staff. I loved the location.. did i miss anything?! I loved everything! And my yellow cabana was a jewel of it all. I prolonged my stay here 2 times and could stay here even long if i could. I am deffo coming back next time im in Sri Lanka. I really recomend this place-rain or not. Just lay back and enjoy!

A cockroach in my room… but the super nice staff came to my rescue 😅 I really liked everything here!

I started my trip here and stayed for 3 nights. The hosts where so nice. They also have a restaurant, the food was great. This place is right by the beach! You ran take the little steps down and walk right towards turtle beach (very touristy) or left towards a great long beach with many cafes, restaurants and surf spots. I loved it here, also had a house dog who spent one night in my room with me (just close the door if you don’t want her inside but she’s super sweet). I was happy I started here and would recommend this place. Also good value for money.

What a wonderful place to stay: Comfortable big bed, AC, good bathroom, spacious room. The highlight: Private balcony with direct sea-view, 20m and you are in the sea - we enjoyed this place so much. Very good location: Busstop, restaurants, supermarkets, everything walking distance.

If your sound sensitive like me and you want to sleep also in the day it might be hard, depending who else stays there.

It’s cheap and right on the beach. Board rental nextdoor. I only moved because I can afford more and want to have a sea view balcony which wasn’t available at the time.

The curtains were see through and light coming through - we were along the wall way so got woken up at night by people and other stayers but out of anyone’s control.

Great location, great staff they gave us a charger to borrow. Wish there was aircon but was so cheap so wasn’t expected.

Can’t beat why not for location in Hikkaduwa! Unobstructed views and in a really chilled area with surf out front. Bed was comfortable with a spacious room and balcony. Aircon and fan really helped for a good night sleep. Staff were attentive and really helpful. Restaurant attached was really good with a surf shop and seperate cafe next door. Can’t fault!

Nothing!

The staff were amazing, so friendly and always helpful. The location was as good as it gets

The cleanliness of the room was fairly average, but we’ve stayed in much worse. There were some families with young children staying around who could be quite loud and the rooms weren’t soundproof. Nothing major, still an excellent hostel.

This hostel was very very nice, location is amazing - right on the beach, and the staff are very kind and happy to help and chat. Food there is amazing as well, varied dishes and everything is good. Snorkel equipment is free to hire and surf lessons are available for a very reasonable price. 100% would stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay! Perfect located (at the beach, but also very close to the city). The host were very kind & helped us with all our questions

Room could have nicer sheets but the price was so low so couldn’t expect anything more really.

Perfect location, best place to stay for socialising. Chilled low music is played in the bar restaurant and they also sell the best freshly ground coffee. Surf boards can be hired downstairs and sunbeds are free. Amazing price. Right in the middle of hikkaduwa Main Street. You’ll meet lots of cool people here, not just staying but eating, drinking here or hiring boards.

You can't be closer by the beach. This place was really awesome. From your bed to the ocean it was only a few steps. The room was nice and we especially loved the shared lounge area with a perfect beach view. The staff were nice and helpful. Would definitely come again.

Perfekt start for our Sri Lanka Trip! Amazing location (can't be closer to the beach), very friendly and lovely stuff. The room is simple but good and clean. Highly recommend to stay with Why Not.

Beautiful place, amazing view and very nice stuff ❤️

My room didn't have an airco, but a fan, but actually it was allright.

I just stayed here for a short night as i had to catch a plane in the morning. It's a 2 hour taxi trip to the airport. Had a cheaper room at the back, from there you don't have any ocean view. The ones at the front looked nice, so maybe consider these rooms if you stay longer. Guesthouse is located at the beach and has some loungers which you can use. Sunset in front of the guesthouse!
