We had a great stay at the ED Corner. We were given a delicious welcome drink on arrival. The room was lovely with a comfortable bed that had a mosquito net. The bathroom was very cool with an open roof and palm tree in the middle. The wifi and air conditioning worked well. The location was close to restaurants, walking distance to Hiriketiya beach and Dickwella beach and ATMs. Also the bus stop was close by too. The man who runs this hotel was super helpful. We enjoyed our stay so much here we decided to extend for an extra night.

We liked that place was easy to reach, not very remote but feels very remote - by the small beach with no people around. It was easy to reach some restaurants by foot, so you won't be isolated. Ocean was very laud throughout the night - something to consider if you are a poor sleeper. Facilities are awesome, and pool is best way to cool down after a day of travel or spent at beach. Breakfast was one of the best we had in SriLanka - sweet rottis, srilankan omlette, fruit platter and wonderful coffee. Not to mention the view from breakfast hall. Wifi was poor, so don't come working here, but perfect for that social break and resting!

Booked 3 nights extended with 2. The rooms are big, clean and spacious. The bed is huge with a mosquito net, windows that open and such a spacious garden, washing machine that works and a small kitchen, what a place. Felt home from Holland. Really good! Excellent even. In the evening it's quiet, WiFi is good!

Secret House in Dickwella was a highlight. The house is fantastic. Super clean and so well looked after. The air conditioned room was spacious and the bathroom was modern and fully functional with a great hot water shower. Amila, the owner was just amazing. So committed to his guests and his mother and father were a delight. Breakfasts were fantastic as were the dinners. Dickwella is a working town so great to explore but the beach area is amazing and just a short walk from the guesthouse. Amila will help with anything and is a superb host. Really pleased we stayed here. Thank you so much. We will not forget.

The room was very spacious. The family that runs the place was very helpful, and I got a good price on the whale watching tour through the hotel. Also I arrived in Mirissa a day earlier and they were very accommodating and gave me the room for an extra day.

That was the best home stay experience in Sri Lanka. It is located a few minutes away from the beach. Place is exceptionally cosy, clean and comfortable. Room was just beautiful with nice bed, private bathroom with hot shower and all facilities you can imagine. We used the kitchen for cooking our food which was great after long weeks of traveling. Big thank you for the host family - you made our stay here simply wonderful. We recommend this place if you plan to stay in Dikwella.

They didn't offer us a room. Said that they are not willing to offer to locals. And also it is not cleaned, not suitable for anyone.

Big room and bathroom. Comfortable bed with mosquito net. Only a few minutes walk to the beach. Very friendly host family. Good breakfast with a big fruit salad. We also had a balcony/teresse. And there is also the possibility to use the laundry service from the family. They can also organize many tours like snorkeling or something for you.

Atmosphere, Vibe 👌 Its right next to the Forest Entrance. TikiriBanda is the man! He helped us in many ways to make our stay a comfortable one as well as the other staff members. Food is average can give 7/10, and bit expensive for locals. So its better to book it full or half board. Overall 7/10 for everything.

Silva was such a great host, he made sure we had everything we needed during the entire stay and even recommended a place to rent a bike nearby. The breakfast was great, and he would even wake us up in the morning when it was ready! He also let us have late check out at no extra charge. The AC was great, and had a nice warm shower. We shared a small kitchen area with another room so had fridge access which was very helpful.
