The room was cute and cozy, like a rustic cottage set off the main road with tranquil gardens. Lots of nature around, the kids found a giant snail which they named 'Bruce'. The room is very quiet, no traffic noise. Only the sounds of the ocean, which was lovely to listen to at night. We would recommend dinner from the host, it was very tasty.

Love this place, relaxed vibe, clean, comfortable rooms, lovely friendly, quietly attentive staff, good food in a fantastic roof terrace restaurant, lovely spaces to hang out. Our host could not have been more accommodating or kind. The location is perfect to catch sunsets and sea breeze and an easy walk to sights, shops & cafes. Monkeys, iguanas, kingfishers and the hilarious crows hanging out too (not in the property!) Everything you'd want of a guesthouse. Highly recommend

We had the most amazing stay at 4 Seasons guesthouse. Lovely plentiful breakfasts. Great hosts & their son Bodhi went above & beyond to make our 2 day stay in Hikkaduwa so Special. He took us snorkelling with turtles, we went to the Tsunami museum & he even took us to the train station & made sure we were safe on the train for our trip to Bentota. This was all free of charge such a kind caring person. Would highly recommend staying at 4 Seasons guest house. We would definitely stay again when we next visit Hikkaduwa.

We've really enjoyed our stay. The hosts are very friendly and helped us a lot with the organization of day trips. The room was very clean and the food was tasty. It's a charming house with a perfect location to explore the inner city of Galle while having a quiet room at night. Several cafés and shops are in walking distance.
