Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

An amazing guesthouse close to Hiriketiya Beach, beautifully decorated and kept perfectly clean by attentive staff. From our welcome to our departure we felt right at home. Our air conditioned room was spacious and very comfortable and all communal areas from kitchen, 2 living spaces, dining and courtyard were clean, tidy and ready for us to relax in at any time. We highly recommend The Yard and would definitely stay again when in Hiriketiya. Thank you for a wonderful experience. 😊🙏

A Visit to Paradise ❤️

I highly recommend visiting this destination, especially for surfers and water sports enthusiasts. There are a variety of activities available that cater to different interests.

Beach lovers will find plenty of opportunities to relax and unwind on the beautiful shores, with numerous spots to enjoy the sun and surf.

The tiny villa where we stayed was not only charming but also exceptionally clean and peaceful, providing a great retreat after a day of adventure.

Most of our time was spent at the beach, as my partner truly enjoys the coastal experience. We made the most of our trip and would love to return someday. ❤️

Lovely little boutiquey hotel in a fantastic location, couple of minutes walk to the beaches and some great restaurants.

Young girl working on reception was so lovely and welcoming and assisted us with any questions we had.

Rooms were very clean, air con and we had an outdoor bathroom which was really cool!

Would definitely recommend anyone to stay here!

Beautifully presented house with 6 en suite rooms. One is the penthouse on the top floor which has its own kitchen and lounge
We stayed in room 6 on the ground floor with a quirky semi outside bathroom. It was a little noisier being on the front and close to reception.
Loved the close proximity to hiriketya beach ( 50 yards) and a short walk to Dikwella beach. Both if which are stunning
Free coffee - coffee machine in shared kitchen with two large fridge freezers for guests to use.
Lovely outside space to chill in the evening.
Rooms are a decent size. Beautifully clean. Just wished we had booked for longer
We will be back
