Breakfast was not good value for money, 2000 rupees a person, fruit plate, juice, eggs, a few pieces of bread. Breakfast does seem a bit expensive compared to other places I've stayed at and there is very little to eat

Convenient location, good room facilities, clean pool, close to the railway, can hear the train but it doesn't disturb the rest

Sometimes the noise from the trains was loud but it didn't bother us that much!

The room was a great size with a great view of the pool area. Staff were available to assist and help from the moment we arrived. Wild monkeys live directly behind the hotel and it was amazing as we got to feed them with the owner by hand which was absolutely incredible. Great location less than 5 minute walk to the main road and we loved seeing the trains drive each day.

The WIFI in parts of the building was slow.

Our stay was fabulous, Villa Kaya is a great location with very spacious, clean, well maintained rooms and bathrooms. Everything was in perfect working order. The staff are without exception helpful, courteous, friendly and professional, they anticipated our needs regarding the local community and gave us solid and helpful advice. The gardens and pool are well kept and cared for. I cannot recommend the property enough, Excellent stay, we will be back!

Being asked to pay on arrival and asking to use the tip jar.

Great location off the main street, so easy access to local shops, restaurants and beaches. Although being next to the railway line it was quiet enough not to be bothered by the hourly train. We had a 1st floor room which was perfect to look out over the pool or out the back watching the monkeys, comfy sofas on this level too. Pool was clean and sun loungers were great after being on the beach in the morning. Breakfast was of a good standard, fruit dish and choice of eggs were always welcomed and the staff were always pleasent. Look our for the afternoon bread tuk tuk, you will hear it - nice afternoon treats with a cup of tea ;)

Couldn't fault it.

This hotel is superb and exceptional value for money. We stayed in six hotels on our recent trip to Sri Lanka and this was our favourite. Great location, five minutes walk to the beach and many local restaurants and shops but set back a little from the busy main street that runs through Hikkaduwa. There's a large supermarket just down the road with a wine/beer shop and several ATMs. All the staff are friendly and welcoming. A great breakfast and set in lovely gardens which are really well maintained. The pool is very clean and the sunbeds are comfortable. The rooms are spacious and spotlessly clean with a great bathroom, a comfortable bed and both air-con and ceiling fan. We stayed in Room 1 on the ground floor having terraces front and back. From the back you can watch a troop of friendly monkeys in the trees which come down at breakfast time to be hand fed the leftovers! There are also large monitor lizards which make regular appearances. We would happily stay here again.

The towels could have been changed part way through the week and a bed sized top sheet on the bed would have been nice.

Great location in the centre of town. minutes from the bars, restaurants and beach. First class breakfast with lots of fruit, yoghurts and eggs. Friendly staff and a large air conditioned nice clean room, with a great pool and lovely gardens. The monkeys were a bonus!

Stayed in February 2025

Nothing. A tiny bonus would be to have net curtains on the lower ground floor rooms but I'm being picky. It was one of our favourite hotels.

Everything! Room, location, amazing breakfast- best we've had. Monkey's visiting for braking. Beautiful pool area and lovely staff

Nothing

Everything, great facilities, large comfortable room and bed, Aircon fan and spotless. Fantastic breakfast, and staff were really welcoming helpful and friendly. Large immaculately kept grounds and a perfect pool area for children and adults alike. Only 5 minutes walk to the main street with cafes shops and bars and 10 minutes to the nearest beach. The best we've stayed in in Sri Lanka. I would recommend this to anyone.

Stayed in January 2025

Not a great deal to complain about really. No hot water for the shower but as it was so warm during the day it was quite a relief to have a cool shower. People have commented on the train noise but we never noticed it.

Beautiful location away from the main street just over the railway line. Lovely garden that was always well tended. Allowed my wife and I to check in very early, 05.30 am after two flights from the UK. The Villa arranged our airport pick up so it was a breeze to get to. Two hours from Columbo. Very good sized room with all amenities, Pool nice and refreshing after a day out. We would have stayed longer however we only booked three nights to see if we liked Hikaduwa.

Pretty close to the train railway, but after a few nights you get used to it.

Nice pool, very good location, tasty breakfast and super friendly staff.

No, it was all good!

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Kaya Guest House. The owner was incredibly helpful and welcoming, making us feel right at home. Our room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to the beach and lovely restaurants. The local Turtle Beach is a must-visit, where you can see large wild turtles in their natural habitat—a truly magical experience. The charming surroundings, including its proximity to the train line, added an authentic touch to our stay. The amazing breakfast each morning was amazing! It was a perfect base for our trip, and we’d happily stay here again. Highly recommended!

It’s close to the train line so noisy occasionally. This isn’t a big deal except if you are a light sleeper.

Nice central location. Lovely breakfast

Stayed in January 2025

Breakfast could be better, no option to pay by card, could do with more shade around the pool.

Lovely pool, pretty good location, rooms are nice.

Train at 5am is a little annoying. Staff don't ask if you have any food allergies for breakfast

Very nice hotel. Rooms and pool are great

Superb stay in Hikkaduwa! Very spacious, clean rooms with all you need. The staff is super nice, special thanks to my friend taking care of the place at night :) Tasty breakfast includes a large fruit platter, egg and warm, toasted bread. The pool area is very clean and although the train passes by from time to time, I never felt disturbed. Would come here again anytime!

Noise from the train when sleeping. Not much shade around the pool. Wifi wasn’t working for me. It was sporadic for mum.

Great location. Walking distance to the beach and restaurants we wanted to go to. Nice pool. Big room with aircon and fridge. Afternoon visits from monkeys. Helpful staff. Good value for money.

Rooms were super clean but there were some ants - not really a reflection of the property though more just common throughout Sri Lanka

stunning property! We were off season so the place was being painted etc while we were there but wasn’t really an issue. Lovely fresh new rooms were a bonus! Train noise didnt bother us, I actually loved the novelty of being so close!
