Immaculate condition. The villa is pristine, clean, well looked after and the rooms are gorgeous and tastefully decorated. The pool is also big and fun to splash and swim in. They have some toys for children. The owner is incredibly kind - not only did she facilitate dinner for us when we arrived late, she also got up early to see us go to make sure the transport was on time. The staff were very welcoming to us and especially to our 10 month old son. We had an absolutely lovely time and we won't hesitate to come back. The breakfasts were delicious and they kindly brew a jug of tea for everyone to have (even if you're not having breakfast) We ended up walking into the main street most days, a 20 minute walk.

Literally nothing. It was perfect

Peaceful, very clean and well decorated house, with a beautiful garden and pool area, located a 15min walk or 5min scooter/tuktuk ride from Hikkaduwa beach. The staff were all so kind, especially Tharanga, who helped us out with various things. On the last night we got upgraded to the queen room on the top floor, they also have some amazing rooms with pool view. Breakfast with eggs, toast, butter & jam and fresh fruit. We absolutely loved our stay and hope to go back again!

Nothing! Just a suggestion, would be nice to have a kettle with cups for coffee/tea in the rooms, although we asked for it in our first room and it was immediately provided.

Tropical House is located in the village of Hikkaduwa (away from the main beach) - it’s a lot quieter and more serene. The management is very welcoming and accommodating, and breakfast is excellent. We had a marvellous stay.

Given the location- you have to walk to Hikkaduwa town (which may be difficult in the heat), or take a tuk tuk. If you do the latter, the local tuk tuk cartel are some of the most pushy and aggressive touts we’ve come across. We would probably recommend using an app like Uber or PickMe to avoid getting overcharged.

The property is stunning, a true Sri Lankan oasis. The staff are very friendly and tentative, nothing is too much trouble. Plus, it’s very quiet, we occasionally saw other guests but the majority of the time it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves! it’s also only a short walk to the Main Street of Hikkaduwa. I’d definitely go back if I were to visit Sri Lanka again.

We organised a few extras via the hotel that weren’t quite what we expected. considering how amazing the hotel was, we were a little disappointed by the massage . The room was exceptionally small, no music and the guests in the next room walked in half way and then spoke loudly throughout the rest of the experience.

The friendly helpful staff, pristine gardens and clean comfortable villa made our stay a time to remember. Meals are available until 5pm each day (8pm on Wednesdays) and are delicious. Nothing was ever an issue for the manager Karin, who could organise meals, snacks by the pool, advice on local shops and even have my suit case repaired by the villa’s maintenance man. The team spoke great English and were happy to talk with you and make your stay comfortable and relaxing.

The key feature of this stay is the building. It is truly outstanding and it is provided with all the commodities of a nice hotel. The staff is kind and is available for any request. The pool is an addition to use during the hottest hours. The food is good, but not in line with the local price. The room is big and comfortable.

Overall, it looks more like a 4-star stay rather than 5. From five I expect more services like dinner, soap and shower gel in the room, and an included transportation to the beach. The price is not competitive.

This was such a gem for our stay. Staff very friendly. Accommodation walkable to the town, or tuktuk drivers were provided with journeys only 500r. We left very early so missed breakfast and the staff made us a packed lunch which was very thoughtful. Access to a washing machine for a modest fee. Great villa with comfortable bed and spacious bathroom. The pool area was spotless and great to relax in

Kristen was an amazing host and made our stay very enjoyable. The accommodation was very comfortable and the garden/pool area was tranquil and relaxing. The location was within easy walking distance of the beach, but away from the hustle and bustle of the main street. Thank you Kirsten and team

Daily drinking water in the room would have been good. But everything else was lovely.

Excellent small property, beautifullly maintained garden, nice swimmingpool and very nice,clean rooms and suites with modern bathrooms. The setting is quiet and peaceful, the touristic area is easy to reach. Last but not least a friendly and very helpfull team who makes your stay memorable. Many thanks to Karin, Tharanga and her team.

This place doesn’t just feel like paradise, it is paradise ! The whole property is meticulously maintained even during the low season. We stayed one night in Galle and one night in the tropical House. For staying more than one night in the area this is the top choice. Galle old town is only a short drive away, a nice beach nearby and best value for money. Last but not least we had the best Sri Lanken food of our 3 weeks journey prepared by the lovely staff.

Nothing.
