    Room was clean and spacious with good AC, nice bathroom and outdoor space. The whole family were so lovely and welcoming, and Dilan helped us with any questions we had and anything else we needed. Beach nearby was so quiet and beautiful. Would definitely recommend.

    We had a great stay at Anthony Guesthouse. The hosts are extremely kind and helpful, organising transfers and providing recommendations. It is in an ideal location, 2 minute walk to the main beach and lots of restaurants.

    Absolutely perfects hosts. The definition of a true guest house. Suits solo travellers, couples or families. The Sri Lankan food we ordered was divine. Dilan was very generous with his advice on local attractions and travel advice. Highly recommend.

    A nice place to be. Clean room, big and comfortable bed with mosquito net, warm water, quiet place, close to the long beach, which is less crowded than in Hikkaduwa, many restaurants nearby. But above all is the family! What ever you need they are here for you. This was our second stop in Sri Lanka and we feel very fortunate to have stayed on both places with extremely welcoming families.

    Really enjoyed our stay at Anthony’s. Quiet & comfortable room. Comfy bed. Anthony and his Son Dillon were so friendly and knowledgeable- nothing was too much hassle. Dillon picked us up from the airport helped us to plan the rest of our trip and drove us to our next destination. I would recommend it to anyone.

    Nothin

    The place is awesome, good bedroom and comfortable beds. Well clean. Dilan was awesome in providing great support even before our arrival and checking on us to see if anything was necessary. On top of that, we have his parents which were awesome, with Antonio being a superstar! Very kind and funny man! We had a blast with Antonio!

    We came the second time to Hikkaduwa during our trip and stayed again with Anthony and his family. Dilan and his father Anthony are a great team and also friendly and lovely people. We had again a great time and wouldn’t mind coming back a third time. 10/10 - highly recommended! We’re leaving with great memories.

    Railway just in the back of the house, but I knew that. If you have a light sleep, avoid full moon day, it will get noisy! This is just for info.

    The family is very nice, as a solo female traveler I felt safe and good taken care of. Coffe, breakfast, papaya juice. I rented a bike from them and did loundry. Dilan, the son, was a great help with recomandations of sightseeing and traveling. Great AC and fan!!!! Bed was clean and comfy. Moschito net in perfekt shape and clean! Privat kitchen, had everything, I did not really use it. Private bathroom, clean and new, so happy! Location is a bit of the center, but I got around by bike just fine.they ofer airport pick up, I regreted not accepting it, I ended up spending more money with more hustle. It is not on the main street, small street, but safe for walkingveven after dark. Would return 100%.

    I've been to this lovely nation five times, and Anthony is among the loveliest people I've ever encountered. He places a high value on the service and does not prioritise money. A minute is all it takes to reach the blue-turquoise beach. We had an excellent guided city tour of Galle thanks to his arrangements. I later found out that he is a certified lecturer and a tour guide in Sri Lanka. He has such a modest demeanour, and such enlightening conversations are really worthwhile. With all the conveniences inside, the room was large, contemporary, and clean. The air conditioner was quiet and brand-new. I have no difficulty in recommending this location. A must visit location on Sri Lanka's southern coast because you will receive excellent value for your money. I nearly forgot to add how delicious the dinner was. Hope to come back to Anthony Guesthouse next year as well. I glad i found this place on booking 🤞

    The mattress was a bit thin and seemed a bit older, with some obvious sagging in the middle. It didn't bother us at all, but I can imagine if you have a bad back it could be uncomfortable.

    Great place, very friendly and enthusiastic family. Dylan knows a lot about the surrounding area and his parents are there to help out when he´s away. There is a train track behind the house (which is true for almost all accommodations in Hikkaduwa) and although you can hear the train pass, it didn't disturb me or my toddler.

    This place is wonderful. It’s the best value for money in Hikkaduwa—immaculate, well located and peaceful. The owners are so amazing—they go out of their way to help you out. 10/10 for hospitality. Thank you, Dilan and his parents, for the nicest stay I’ve had in Sri Lanka. I hope to be back.

    Great room. The owner Anthony and his family are very nice and friendly people. We asked them for water several times - each time they gave us huge bottles of water and did not even charge us any money for it. They have a lot of cats and kittens and a very cool dog. The beach is literally across the road, a couple of minutes by tuktuk to the beach with turtles. The location itself is quiet and pleasant. We had a great weekend there.

    Anthony and his parents are very welcoming and show great hospitality! The room was spaceous, super clean and modern. Same goes for the bathroom. Overall one of the best places we stayed in during our 6 weeks roadtrip. There is no A/C but this didn't bother us.

    The Anthony Guesthouse in Hikkaduwa is the ideal location to stay. The restaurants and the train station are both fairly near by. The accommodation was clean, comfortable, and well-kept. The breakfast was very variety and very good. The staff at the guesthouse has always been accommodating, kind, and patient. I was extremely amazed by that. You could confide in them at any time of day or night with any worries you had. On my next stays, I will definitely check into Anthony Guesthouse again. The ratio of price to performance is excellent. The doctor prescribed long beach walks, which I got ample of during my time at Anthony Guesthouse.

    Exceptionally serene guesthouse just steps from the wide beach of Hikkaduwa. The beach was my favorite since it was less busy and you could unwind there. My stay was fantastic thanks to Anthony, who is incredibly helpful. The breakfast is excellent, and his wife makes a variety of delicious, authentic Sri Lankan dishes that I really enjoyed😊.
