    Our stay at the Art House was very pleasant. The accomodation was very modern, clean, equipped with everything you need and surrounded by many beautiful plants. The Hosts are very friendly and recommended good dinner places to us. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you for everything and all the best for you.

    Nothing, everything was perfect.

    Everything! The best accommodation we have had in Sri Lanka so far! The room was beautiful and the balcony very cosy. The owners are just the sweetest and do everything to make your stay great. The food they made was also really good.

    There isn’t any aircon but the did provide us with an extra fan which is lovely! It is by the main road so if you sleep with the doors open it can be loud, but with the 2 fans you don’t need to!

    Lovely small apartment with everything you need for a few days at the beach! Huge comfy bed, fridge, balcony and very clean. The hosts are fantastic and provided a lovely breakfast, and even drove us to our next destination in his massive Tuk Tuk! You can walk to Dikwella beach (literally 10 steps) or cheap tuk tuk to Hiritikya. Highly recommend!

    We would appreciate AC as it was very hot the first night, the second night was a little bit colder and it was okay with fan and open balcony.

    We loved our stay, the hosts were super nice, the room was beautiful and the bathroom was the cleanest we’ve seen in Sri Lanka. :) It’s very close to the beaches. Also there was a mosquito net and a fridge in the room so that was nice. We loved the plants everywhere. Great value for the price.

    - Since there is no AC in the room, it became a bit stuffy in the room during the night - the house is located at the main road, as long as the door is closed it´s fine, but with open balcony door it can become intense. But maybe it´s just me being sensible ;)

    - lovely and caring Hosts - beautiful house - arranged scooter for a reasonable price, there have been some difficulties with the police and they offered all the help - exceptional clean

    I had an exceptional two-week stay at "Art House". The lovely artist couple who is running the gallery were incredibly kind, tending to all my needs. The well-equipped room, more satisfying bathroom, and highly recommended cooking showcased their artistic touch. The ambiance, adorned with plants and pictures, created a pleasant atmosphere. The comfortable bed and cozy balcony, just a minute from the beach, made it an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend for a unique and delightful stay in Sri Lanka. Throughout my stay in dikwella for over a month I stayed in jungle villas, beachfront houses but would prefer to stay at the Art House whenever I come back. The room was cleaned everyday and coming back after hours of an early morning surf was just always pure bliss! The hosts can cater to your every needs and are very invested that you have a man exceptional time! Extremely kind people!

    Must say there are no downsides. The street is a little noisy but we still slept really good in the bed. An airco could be a nice addition but the fan in the room did great work cooling us down!

    This was the most beautiful stay we have had in sri lanka. The house is so romantic and good looking. Also the room is really clean and good looking. Cleanest bathroom in have seen in sri lanka. The hosts are such nice people and the woman makes wonderful art at her gallery.

    Even if we stay just one night you can feel the love that this family puts in their homestay. The room is well equipped and well decorated ( she is an amazing artist), very comfortable and full of lovely plants and the breakfast was delicious. The locations is close to the city by 10 minutes walk and same is the beach. He even brought us to Ella with the tuk tuk and was a niiice journey! Thanks for everything:)

    As some other reviews had mentioned it was quite warm at night but there is a good fan which helps. You can also hear the road noise but it didn't take away from our stay and I still slept well so left happy.

    A spacious room with a modern artsy feel, we loved the interior and that they had personalised it so well. It sits above the owners art studio - they are very talented!! We are also plant lovers and there are so many gorgeous ones! The hosts are super welcoming and we are so glad we stayed here, they offered breakfast/dinner too which we now regret not taking! Very clean and tidy, comfy bed, WiFi box in the room so works very well, good balcony space and a decent bathroom/shower. Less than a 5 minute walk to a few restaurants at the beach. We were so pleased with this price of this place we couldn't believe the value with it being so close to Hiriketiya where others are charging so much more for less. Good parking space for our tuktuk. Thank you for a lovely nights stay 🫶

    bit noisy from street but its not the problem of the owners, thats how sri lanka is. no AC in room but i do not use it anyway. there is a fan and its just enough. so at the end all was amazing. no complains

    It is brand new room with amazing owners. They would do everything for you with a smile. Room is very stylish and you have all you need very close to the beautiful beaches also as town itself. If you travel around and looking for clean and beautiful room, this is the place. the breakfast was amazing too.

    Breathing was incredibly challenging due to the lack of air conditioning and only one fan in the room. However, when we expressed our concern, we were promptly provided with a second fan. As others have mentioned, the location near the main street makes it very loud.

    The interior is charming, the hosts are incredibly kind and friendly, and Hiriketiya Beach is conveniently close by. Additionally, the breakfast is reasonably priced, ranging between 1000 and 1400.
