Gonapinuwala Hotels

"We enjoyed quietness of the location even though it is close to get to Hikkadua. Love to sit at the pool and seeing all the rice paddies. The owner tried very hard to make us feel comfortable and did a great job! "

"This is truly a little gem! A fairly newly opened hotel, a small hotel of 5 rooms with personal charm. The staff mentioned that the plan is to complete the construction and add another 5 rooms. Located above a quiet restaurant in a very quiet area just outside Hikkaduwa, right on the beach so the waves and the beach are your table neighbors at breakfast. Clean, nice rooms and fresh bathrooms. Very affordable accommodation. We went into town to sunbathe and do a bit of cardio. With a Tuk-tuk it...

"What a fantastic experience, the staff where wonderful extra clean entertainment and food was delicious definitely going again"

"Beautiful upmarket stay in a gorgeous location. I will note it’s not walking distance to fort but easily reached by a 10 min Tuk Tuk. We visited in off season and had the entire place to ourself "

"Great place to stay "

"Waiting to go back again , beautifully set up and very quiet place . "

"Amazing staff, pool, and food"

"The room was very clean and the staff were all very helpful. The hotel is luxurious. Two beautiful pools and very good food. The views are stunning over the ocean. The beach is not suitable for swimming due to heavy surf and a strong side current but Talpe beach a 1.5k walk or tuk-tuk away has a safe beach behind a reef. "

"Outstanding. Exceptional."

"It was very chilled and quiet. The bar and restaurant were excellent and could always find a sunbed too"

"What a beautiful place! The views on the lake, the tranquility, stunningly beautiful rooms and bathrooms with every detail so thoroughly thought of, the friendliness of the manager, we loved everything "

"It’s very nice place. Highly recommended to get that experience."

"Amazing hotel! Would highly recommend to anyone. Such a boutique private feel with a stunning setting right on the beach. The food at the restaurant for dinner and breakfast was such high quality and some of the best we had in Sri Lanka. The rooms are so stunning and clean, and have everything you need. The service is also incredible from the moment you get there to the moment you leave. Would definitely go back and recommend this hotel to anyone and everyone! "

"Staff was wonderful, highly recommend. Rooms were cleaned daily, the rooms were functional, the property it self is a bit old, but still very beautiful. Private secluded beaches, you just cant beat the views and how private it is. I initially only had the reservation for 3 days, but extended it to a week. Highly recommend! "

"An oasis of calm in the countryside! Lovely rooms, lovely pool area & a fantastic place to watch the jungle wildlife! The manager was super helpful too. The beach is a 40 min walk away, or a short tuk tuk ride. "

"Beautiful hotel providing excellent service."

"This is a great budget-friendly place to stay. It is steps from a quiet beach. The owner is extremely friendly and helpful. 100% would stay again!"

"Room was excellent, food & drinks were great, staff exceptionally friendly and curteous. Hotel is a little remote, but that's the appeal - 20 min walk into the local town / beach, and 10 minute Tuktuk back up the hill. (Usually LKR 500 - £1.25 or thereabouts)"
