If I will have just one word, it will be just 'excellent'. From initial welcome, comfortable rooms with stylish bathrooms and wonderful breakfast with amazing variaties of local fruits to a great location (one minute walk to Unawatuna beach), everything was perfect. And above that wonderful hotel staff and owner. Highly recommended place. More

Had an absoloutely first class stay during the recent England cricket tour. Me and my wife stayed for ten days, and couldn't have felt better looked after. As everyone has said, Sumiths customer service is amazing, with his team of staff being the friendliest bunch of lads you could hope to meet. Special mention should also be made about Sumiths...

Sumith was a top businessman employing 300 making and selling jewellery until he lost everything in the tsunami. Then he opened Ridee Villa, which means "silver" villa, and he runs it with charm and a 'hands-on' approach, assisted by several young men and the senior assistant Somasiri. Rooms are large, cool and comfortable, without frills. Breakfast is included, consisting of... More

I spent one night here last week, and could not agree more with other reviewers! Manager Sumith and his team do an awesome job, and are a lovely bunch. In terms of negative points, first note that the hotel is not beachside. However many of the beachfront places are quite ramshackle and not very inviting, so this was not an... More

My husband and I have just spent ten days at Ridee Villa. We don't normally stay for so long in one place, but Sumith and his family made us feel very welcome from our first contact, arriving and throughout our stay. As others have described, the breakfast is stunning - including the extra pots of tea. Although not now a... More

My wife and I just spent 7 nights at Ridee Villa and found it to be very enjoyable,Sumith and all his staff are very helpful and could not do enough for us. Whether we wanted to ask advise on trips to local tourist spots or use the internet nothing was too much trouble. I would recommend Ridee to anyone but... More

The owner makes it his responsibility that you have a good holiday. I have never been looked after so well and yet you get the feeling that this is just in Sumith's nature. I had a few problems that were nothing to do with the guest house but the staff went well beyond what you would normally expect. Ridee Villa... More

We stayed here for 5 nights and really enjoyed it. The owner and his staff really couldnt do enough to help us and really make the trip for us. We arrived early at 10am and received a welcome drink on arrival and complimentary b/fast as our room wasn't quite ready. The hotel is far nicer than most of the other... More

I stayed at Riddee villa for 5 days during the busy Christmas period, and it remains one of my most unforgettable experiences to date. Sumith, the handsome proprietor of the lodge is most hospitable and very personable. Despite being a full house, he gave every guest utmost attention. His small team of smiling assistants also make every effort to make... More
