Villa Saffron Hikkaduwa♡

Relaxing Stay

9.0

Large spacious room with comfortable bed and excellent air conditioning. Large toilet which was very clean and spacious. The breakfast was amazing. Selected the Sri Lankan option and the string hoppers were freshly made. The curries were also good. The pol sambol in particular was fabulous! The curd and treacle was a nice touch! Staff were accommodating and courteous, notably Kasun, the Manager was very welcoming and always spoke with a pleasant smile. The pool was also great and very refreshing.

− While calm atmosphere was lovely, it was a little too quiet. Would have been nice to have some soft pipe music to complement the beachside vibe.

Prefer more effiency with the staff

Feels Like Coming Home – We Keep Coming Back

10.0

We just returned from an incredible 19-day stay at Villa Saffron in Hikkaduwa — our second time here — and it truly feels like coming home. From the moment you step into the villa, there’s a sense of calm and tranquility that’s hard to describe but impossible to forget. It’s the kind of place where you instantly unwind and settle into a slower, more peaceful rhythm. The staff deserve a special mention — they are genuinely warm, attentive, and always ready to help with anything you need. Their hospitality makes all the difference and is a big part of why we keep coming back. Traveling as a family, it’s not always easy to find a place that ticks every box, but Villa Saffron does exactly that. It’s comfortable, welcoming, and perfectly suited for longer stays. In fact, we loved it so much that we’ve already booked 25 days for next year — and we’re counting down the days until we return. If you’re looking for a peaceful, home-away-from-home experience in Sri Lanka, this place is something truly special.

Lovely place need light duvet for guest who prefer to sleep with A/C on

Immaculate property. Staff lovely, location excellent. Nice and quiet

− Bed was very uncomfortable. Only a thin sheet so too cold to Use air conditioning but, to hot without. No other cover for bed available. I didn’t sleep at all well.

Disappointed, is not 5 stars but more a 3 star

The room is spacious and neat but for €155,00 I think that is normal. Position on the beach

− Disappointed if you expect something nice and also the reaction from the management on our comments. In the foto's you can see that this is not a five star rated property or hotel or villa, how you want to name it. Breakfast is served at your table but the western breakfast is about the same as what you get in every average hotel without something special (toast, Marmelade, egg choise, juice, bacon and sausages) Each day the same without variations. Mattress is with springrings and not comfortable, it’s an old mattress on hardboard plank. Swimming pool is like hot boiled water so not very refreshing. We also not see that it will be cleaned or refreshed as we have seen in all the other hotels. Everywhere on tables are clothes, other stuff and toys, like a children daycare.I understand that people with children have some toys but People with out children don't want to sit in their mess. The matrasses for sunlougers are dirty and broken. Sheets are with stains, same as lamp shade near the bed. We asked for the safety deposit box, this was not in the room so they brought a rusty one. They placed it in the closet without fixing it to something so everybody also could take it away. From the 7 days that we stay in the room we had 2 days hot water and after that we must look every morning for somebody to put the switch on. Each day they ask if they must clean the room ( I think that is normal for a five star rated room ) and even 1 day there was nobody and at 15.30 we ask the security guy to contact someone to clean it. Every afternoon the knock on your door to ask you if you want have dinner and what do you want for breakfast: Western or Sri Lanka breakfast and how late. We have holiday we don’t want to plan in front that I do for work….. Manager we didn’t see complete week but on departure day he came to our breakfast table to ask if everything was okay and if we want to give the villa a good review.
