Top Kahawa Hotel Reviews

Riff Hikkaduwa

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I stayed at Riff Hikkaduwa for 3 nights. The hotel is situated about a 10 minute tuk-tuk ride from Hikkaduwa town but is easily accessible. The hotel is clean and staff are very nice. The room we stayed in was spacious and well equipped overlooking the beach, which was stunning. The food is tasty with multiple options available for breakfast and dinner. The pool has a lovely view out towards the beach. My wife also enjoyed a back massage at the spa. We would definitely recommend this hotel."

The Fort House

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel in a historical building - my room was spotlessly clean and was fully modern while also having loads of character. The staff were welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was great - first time I’d been served an egg hopper! Delicious!"

Taj Bentota Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Great breakfast. Great food altogether. They were a bit odd about when we could access the beach. It was closed from 12 to 3. Which was weird but other than that a great place."

Araliya Beach Resort & Spa Unawatuna- Where you meet the sea all year

10/10 Excellent

"We came for a family holiday and we have all had a wonderful time. Everything was perfect."

Yara Galle Fort

8/10 Good

"I’d like to say thank you for the staff but the hotel needs to make sure about the manager’s approach with the whole crew. It’s not about working by pressure but work happy. It’s not about you have a perfect service but it’s about to see no pressure in the staff’s eyes. If any guest ask to perfection and the solution will be pressure, that’s clear to no work."

"Everything was perfect"

Villa White Queen Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay. Very clean staff were great. Only negative was that wifi was out for our 2 night stay. Great breakfast and pool was very nice. A wee bit out of the way, no shops or restaurants nearby, but very quiet and relaxing."

Radisson Collection Resort & Spa, Galle

8/10 Good

"They need to work on the food. Absolutely no options. I know it is a wellness property but do not rry to be officious on random cousines.. if we are travelling to Sri Lanka we want healthy local cousines too."

Oceanfront Galle by ICC

8/10 Good

"The property was clean and convenient. The staff were helpful when requested. However, maintenance work has to be carried out in the apartment. The shower and the sink in the bathroom got flooded when used. The stove and the washing machine were malfunctioning. And the room was not cleaned during the period, though the terms and conditions state that it would be cleaned after the 5th day."
