    Beautiful villa, with beautiful gardens, pool and landscape. The villa is a 5 min Tuk Tuk ride to town and the beach.It is quiet, with many plants to make you feel relaxed. The manager and staff treated us like close friends . The rooms are large, with a great shower and strong WiFi. It is clean and very comfortable. Everyone is there to help you- and make you feel special. My family had a great time.

    Lovely location in a beautiful property. The pool was lovely. Tranquil and quiet (apart from a bit of noise from building work nearby). The staff were very helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was good, the sour dough bread was lovely toasted! the rooms were well appointed and comfortable with tea and coffee facilities. All in all a lovely stay!

    There was a slight problem with my room, however the staff quickly responded by upgrading my booking. All the staff are super friendly and helpful and a special thank you to Mrs Wickramasingha on reception who really was exceptional, going out of her way to help with everything that I needed and ensuring that my stay was perfect. The overall facilities both inside the rooms and outside in the garden and pool were excellent. The property location is very quiet and a short tuktuk ride into the near by town.

    The safes in both rooms are too high, resulting in me leaving jewellery in there which very fortunately was found and handed in by a lovely, honest Danish lady. Kerstin has been brilliant and has said she will send the jewellery when she goes to Germany in May. I’m really grateful to her for taking the trouble to do this. The safe in my friend’s room was too high for her to reach so she used mine. This is the only criticism I have of the hotel, it was lovely.

    Second time we’ve stayed there, this time in the penthouse. Very spacious, well furnished and comfortable.

    This is a beautiful and serene property with the most welcoming and friendly staff especially Tharanga who was always smiling and extremely helpful. Our room was a good size and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom is well appointed. Everything you need for a relaxing holiday. A tray with tea and coffee was provided on request. Breakfast was tasty and plentiful. The whole property is beautifully furnished with lots of great artwork. The tropical gardens are exceptional with a large pool with sunbeds, It’s a 15min walk to the beach, restaurants and bars or jump in a tuk tuk. We loved the jungle side setting and watched fruit bats, hummingbirds, and fireflies from our balcony. The owner made us feel very welcome and always took time to say hello and offer assistance.

    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

    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 Tropcial House feels like a hidden gem in Hikkaduwa. It’s a wonderful place to stay and relax, with beautiful rooms, a lush garden with swimming pool and very kind people. It’s a 5 min tuktuk ride to the center which means you can enjoy the jungle vibes (peacocks in trees) with the beach close by.

    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.

    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.
