The staff were all so friendly and made you feel very welcome. Food was good. Rooftop bar is a little gem to enjoy with live music while we ate from the Japanese restaurant menu. A lot of love and thought has gone in to this hotel and wish we could have stayed longer but it was fully booked. 100% recommend if in this area. Only improvement would be to have more parasols for the sun loungers as the sun is so strong. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4B412B87160656A9AC104789348620726FD091961712643200895.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/924E00860F749569FA34A2763CF7E945EE964F501712643200415.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/CD77FBBD0F78FADA79DDEF5E70180EF00781482A1712643199051.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/FCB4D2B3D1FC87B0FED4D3AE0207A3DA5FCD0DBB1712643200903.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Janette Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### SOPHIE Oct 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was a stunning end to my stay in Sri Lanka. Staff couldn’t do enough for you and general manager was around and introduced himself during breakfast. Cocktails and food was great. Breakfast was excellent. So many choices and nothing too much trouble. I can see it may be an issue in high season, but in October there was enough sunloungers at the pool and beach for everyone. Water supplied in room and on the beach/pool areas. WiFi was fast and reliable. Hotel offered turn down service which was a nice touch. Tip try the King Colada! Thank you Banisha for being so friendly and welcoming! <3 ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/89bd4848-f9a9-4b88-b215-194a3779da84-1760809013988.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6f605a49-1910-42b9-9260-684c05278152-1760809007142.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8ded9d66-4415-4d0a-8cc7-879ea0e840c7-1760809013298.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2ad0704d-5f52-4097-a849-418cb2ae912b-1760809012603.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### SOPHIE Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sahil Oct 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This place is absolutely beautiful.

Zimmer toll, eher etwas klein, langte jedoch. Im Schrank nicht viel Platz. Tolle Aussicht vom Balkon auf‘s Meer. Manchmsl dauerte es etwas sehr lange, bis man das bestellte Essen und die Getränke erhielt. An der Reception sprachen sie eher schlecht englisch. Als wir für einen Ausflug fragten, streckten sie einem nur ein Heft hin. Um eine Adresse zu erfahren, war es sehr mühsam. Jeden Abend tolle Life-Musik bis ca 22 Uhr. Wir würden sofort wieder gehen! ##### Beatrice Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastic stay at a gorgeous hotel We had an amazing time at Riff, nothing bad to say about the place. It was extremely comfortable with great service. A fab pool and direct access to the beach. The food was delicious in both the downstairs restaurant and the rooftop restaurant - especially the grilled seafood (lobster and prawns!) and the a la carte breakfast was fantastic. We loved having drinks on the rooftop at sunset every evening, with great views and live music. Felt very spoilt! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ee34430e-5241-4e4b-a025-81a0a1150bfc-1745483640913.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b067a799-aa4c-4dfc-a33e-753d99e594f4-1745483640409.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7fee3131-4911-4177-ab74-a6f627449502-1745483640826.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4edc3d59-80f2-4c2d-a926-6f647d28db7c-1745483640415.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ching-Lun Jan 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Friendly service and great souvenir ##### Ching-Lun Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### maxine Jan 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Gorgeous view Beautiful clean beachfront hotel Japanese restaurant on top floor is fantastic ##### maxine Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie Dec 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great hotel on the beach. Enjoyed our one night stay at this beach hotel. We had a lovely sea facing room with a balcony . Breakfast was buffet style and had a wide variety of food. The hotel has a small infinity pool and beach loungers with shade. We appreciated being able to order food and drink from the beach. The hotel has a gym and spa and friendly staff. Only slight downside, the hotel is a little out of the main town. Overall, a great place to relax. ##### Julie Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joshua Dec 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### New very nice hotel New hotel looks and feels great. Nice staff. Gym could be bigger. They make out being sustainable with lots of carboard use but some of the cardboard is pointless and meant a tree was chopped down for nothing. Then inside the cardboard are plastic products in plastic non-recycleable wrapping. Beach front is great and can have a morning walk or jog along the sea ##### Joshua Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Naiima Aug 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hidden Gem So happy to have found this boutique hotel for the last day in Srilanka. The sushi restaurant had no digital menu on their IG account and had a very long wait time for orders but presuming that's because it was very quiet not many guests... Aside from that, beautiful experience in Hikkaduwa! ##### Naiima Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tamara Jul 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities very clean facility, food was excellent ##### Tamara Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### YUHUI Jun 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great service and stuff, very good room and view, great restaurant with awesome breakfast and dinner options.
