    The room felt a bit overpriced for what it offered and didn’t really deliver great value for money. Breakfast wasn’t included in the price, which would have been a nice addition. There was no mosquito net, which would have been helpful, and the water pressure in the shower was terrible.

    The room was just as advertised in the pictures. The location was fantastic—right on the beach with a bar and restaurant downstairs, plus plenty of other dining options nearby.

    The value for money could be improved if breakfast was included in the price. There was also no room service/cleaning done throughout our stay. Staff was very helpful but could be a bit more attentive to detail.

    Great location, right on the beach beside the best restaurants and cafés! Spacious, nicely decorated room with all necessary amenities.

    No pepperoni pizza, only 2 sorts of wine by glass which was overpriced.

    Beachfront stay with surfing school just beside if you need one. Tuk Tuk is always around the corner. There are only 2 rooms on the 1st floor and on the ground floor you have got a bar with the restaurant. They have pizzas from the wood fired oven. The sourdough base of the pizza was very tasteful. Staff was amazing and very helpful. The were very quick in sorting out any samall issues.

    Nothing to dislike!

    The room was very spacious and comfortable with brilliant air conditioning, bathroom facilities, Netflix on the tv and the comfiest bed we’ve ever stayed in. The employees were super friendly and helpful. The food at the restaurant was outstanding - we especially loved the Butter Chicken curry and the calamari. The music that was played at the restaurant was also amazing and meant we really enjoyed spending time there over other options. We even asked the waiters for the name of the Spotify playlist on our last evening as we enjoyed it so much. The location is also just ideal - in the middle of beach with loads of nice places to visit within walking distance. Brilliant sunset every evening too!

    Unfortunately there was a problem with the TV and the screen was broken but the hotel manager said this was getting fixed. The room isn’t cleaned unless you ask but when we did they did it promptly and did a great job.

    Beautiful, comfortable room and the location was fantastic, right on the beach front. There’s only 2 rooms so it feels like a very private and personal experience. The staff were exceptional and couldn’t do enough for us. Would highly recommend.

    The portions at the restaurant could be bigger for the price but I guess you pay the beach front view so it's fine!

    Beautiful and modern hotel. We had some complainings and the hotel gave us a huge compensation. The staff was really helpful and friendly. The hotel is actually really small (2 rooms), which I didn't realise looking at the photos. The beach chairs are super comfy! The food is really good.

    On our last day, we felt a bit rushed to get out even though when we arrived, we were made to wait to check in.

    Gorgeous room and great location on the beach. Loved the outside area which was a nice place to sunbathe.

    Nothing not to like as such. Restaurant downstairs wasn’t open for breakfast on the two days we were there, no issue though as it gave us more reason to explore the cafes around us.

    You’re literally staying on the beach. The staff, food and drinks are fantastic. Really quirky and funky decor, one of the coolest boutique hotels I’ve stayed at.

    We stayed there twice during our vacation in Sri Lanka. It is a very laid-back, cool place, very clean and spacious, situated right on the beach, very close to all surf schools. All staff members were very friendly and always smiling, making us feel very welcome and just happy :) It's probably the best place we've ever stayed at and we will always smile when thinking about the Sea Salt Society. They only have 2 rooms, so if it is available, book it!

    We absolutely loved Sea Salt Society! It is a cozy beach bar/ restaurant with 2 rooms upstairs. It is a perfect place to stay in Hikkaduwa - right in the middle of the surfing paradise, there are plenty of surf schools just in front of their place. The room itself was perfectly clean, quiet, modern, spacious, and had all we needed. What makes this place very special are the people who work at Sea Salt Society. They are so helpful, attentive, funny, friendly, and kind that we decided to change our plans and come back there again :) Also, the food and drinks in the restaurant are very delicious - highly recommend trying the traditional Sri Lankan breakfast. All staff members made our stay there very memorable and it makes us smile every time we think about Hikkaduwa. Sea Salt Society is definitely our happy place :)

    The room was amazing but this is not really a hotel. It is more like a restaurant that offers two rooms to sleep in. The food in the restaurant wasn't that great (Don't order the pizza, you'll be disappointed). We waited for over an hour for the food that didn't even arrive at the same time for my partner and me. The restaurant opens at 10 so look for other places to have breakfast.

    The hotel is located directly at the beach. The room is very spacious with a super comfortable bed. Additionally, there's an AC and a big TV with Netflix.
