Reviews of Main Reef Guest House 2 stars

Great room facing the ocean, perfect location in town but not in the middle of town so its quiet enough. Lovely walks along the beach.

When requesting to pay by card the owner looked very disgruntled to do this, the ATM was quite a walk away at 11pm.

I really liked them a lot rooms the beds were very comfy and the bathroom was a nice size. The staff at the main reef guest house were very good they always asked me if i needed anything, and were very helpful

Nothing everything was great

Excellent staff and friendly atmosphere. I will stay again.

Nothing.

Excellent value for money,by far the cleanest place I stayed in on my month in Sr Lanka.If you can,get one of the 2 sea facing rooms with balcony then do so😁😁Food was great and the management were extremely good people.Very well appointed room with grt views,hot water,very comfy bed and a fridge,all for $35 a night.

Restaurant really needs some fans,it could get really hot.

everything perfect

nothing

Great Location, Food was Excellent, Cold Beer and Friendly Staff. If you love surfing, snorkeling or swimming, great spot!

We don’t have much bad things to say.

Fantastic. Includes a well priced, popular cafe on the beachfront with great swimming and good vibes. Room had big comfy beds with mosquito nets and a really nice feel. Good location and family run with good attention to detail (though presented as really laid back). One of my favourite places during our 2 month Asia trip.. it’s good!

Internet didn’t work in our room but was fine downstairs at the cafe. The rooms toward the beachfront (above the cafe) are probably fine. We were at the other end toward the street. Note that this hotel is in the “noisy” area of hikkiduwa so you may hear the bar a few doors up throughout the night. We didn’t care - it wasn’t overly intrusive, just background noise :)

The location right next to the beach. In our seaview room we could hear and see the waves from the bed! The food in the restaurant was also great.

Situated right at the beach. Nice staff and owner. Good food - many westerners came there to eat.

Room description at booking.com said balcony w seaview. There was an shared space with some seaview. (There are 95% russians at Hikkadua beach - has nothing to do with the guest house)

Beech view, bar and food was amazing, beds really comfy, staff were faultless. Definitely will be going back

The room was fantastic, offering everything we could ask for. It was clean and comfortable, but the highlight was the beautiful sea view right from our window. Waking up to the sound of the waves and seeing the horizon made our stay truly memorable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway!

Everything was perfect

Great location on the beach, excellent food and super friendly and efficient staff.

more reliable internet in the bedroom, was fine outside.

Everything was absolutely awesome. The location with stunning view and breathtaking sunsets. Food and drinks in restaurant also perfect. I was so sad that I have to leave. Because of this stay and people I definitely need to visit this place again! Best snorkeling reef nearby, a lot of bars and restaurants… ❤️

We loved the place and hosts a lot. Accommodation was very convenient - right on the beach. And the food was exceptional, both dinner and breakfast. Actually, this was our pre-last day from the two-week journey around Sri Lanka and we had the best breakfast on the whole island! Family-run, very nice people and on a terrifically beautiful beach where we walked a lot :). We whole-heartedly recommend it!

It’s a lovely family run hotel. The room was not fancy but it was spacious, comfortable, and well equipped. Everyone is friendly. There’s lots of loungers on the beach. The beach directly in front is too rough for swimming or snorkelling. It’d be perfect if you’re a surfer- but if you want to swim it’s a little bit of a walk past turtle beach to the swimming area. And then if you walk a bit further, there’s a beautiful reef to snorkel at. I think this was my favourite out of all the hotels that I stayed at in Sri Lanka.

Lovely people

Localization

Non

I liked the privacy of the room, the location was great right on the beach and the surf break right there..stay was helpful and pleasant

Great restaurant Fantastic staff

Bigger surf!!!!

Room is essential but perfectly fine for just few days. The best thing of this place is the position, just on the beach and between the two main surf spots.

Wifi wasn't working perfectly. If you're looking for a guest house with host making you breakfast or giving advices this is not the place: this is more like a regular hotel on the beach.

Lovely location beachfront and good restaurant downstairs. Staff very friendly.

Sadly the night we stayed the air conditioning didn’t work very well even after he staff looked at it. during the night it became very hot in room and due to the loud music from a nearby bar we couldn’t open the door.
