Great stay for Dickwella, with a nice garden! The rooms are big, beds very long/wide and comfortable. Also comfortable (hot water) shower. The staff is incredibly friendly/eager to help, and you can order food with them. From Tamarind Moon I could walk to Hummanaya Blow Hole & Kudawella Beach one way, and Blue Beach, Hiriketiya and Dickwella Beach the other way. Small stores for snacks/water near by. Place is also easy reachable from Dickwella Bus station. Just take line 11, 334/1(?) or probably any other bus taking the highway in north east direction from Dickwella (Rs. 40 one way).

    Great location on a quiet beach. Air con was good. Bed was super comfy and everything was very clean. It's a short and nice walk to restaurants and turtles. Also we could park our tuk tuk safely.

    Great location. Near some restaurants and hostels, about a 5-10 minute walk to the main beach. Nice if you’re wanting to stay somewhere chill but still be near the action. The breakfast was unreal, try the whole menu if you can! Staff were so kind. Free water so you can fill up, much more sustainable than buying loads of plastic bottles. Room was beautifully made up.

    Clean, friendly people, good to sleep(air-conditioning in the dorms) nature all around. Kitchen to cook. Cheap! Hands down the best value for money of any hostel I stayed at in 6 months in Sri Lanka. I stayed at Abinu's years ago, came back now and will be back next trip. Nearby the beach and shops, very recommended

    Probably the Best hostel in town. Everything is working perfectly, clean, comfortable and the staff is here to help if any questions. Also the price is more than decent for the location and all the rest. I definitely recommand the place it has made my stay in hiriketyia.

    I had a lovely time at kings happy house! The owner was so incredibly kind and helpful. As the hostel is quite new, he was always very open and grateful for feedback and suggestions for improvement. He alway made sure I’m safe and well taken care of wich was quite nice and soothing as a solo traveller. He also helped me with organising any trips I wanted to go on. A person who runs his hostel with heart and soul and wants to make sure you have a good time there.

    Even though the room was basic, the owner made us feel like part of the family. He was happy to share stories and hear ours, and we only spent 2 nights here but it felt like we have known the owner for much longer! Only a 10-min walk to the beach, & It's a cheap place for hiriketiya beach and the owner understands very well that some people travel on a budget and is happy to help out finding good options in this. Thanks!

    Cheap and location is alright, 10 min walk will bring you to closest beach, a lot of places to get things needed around the hostel. Home owner was nice and helped with every request. WiFi was mostly good
