(Translated by Google) A beautiful, rustic and landscaped place, made with very good taste. We were staying in an elevated cabin that, besides being beautiful, was very comfortable. The restaurant has a fairly extensive menu, the dishes are really good and the price is more than correct. But above all that is Chami, its owner. The treatment we receive from you cannot be explained in 4 lines, you have to know it. Since we set foot in Chami's Place to ask for a room until we had to leave (with a last minute problem with the car, which even helped us worried that we did not arrive on time to the airport). Chami, if you read this, thank you for your attention and company, it shows that you enjoy everyone who crosses your path, and that makes Chami's a special place where people feel like family. If I have the opportunity to return to Sri Lanka we will see each other again! (Original) Un lugar precioso, rústico y ajardinado, hecho con muy buen gusto. Estuvimos alojados en una cabaña elevada que además de bonita era muy cómoda. El restaurante tiene una carta bastante amplia, los platos están realmente buenos y el precio es más que correcto. Pero por encima de todo eso está Chami, su propietario. El trato que recibimos por su parte no se puede explicar en 4 líneas, lo tenéis que conocer. Desde que pusimos el primer pie en Chami's Place para preguntar por una habitación hasta que tuvimos que irnos (con un problema de última hora con el coche, que hasta con eso nos ayudó preocupado de que no llegásemos a tiempo al aeropuerto). Chami, si lees esto gracias por tu atención y compañía, se nota que disfrutas de todo aquel que se cruza en tu camino, y eso hace de Chami's un lugar especial donde la gente se siente en familia. Si tengo la oportunidad de volver por Sri Lanka nos veremos de nuevo!

Good food, slow service, cold atmosphere.

One star is fine due to the fact that the food itself was good. About weeks of traveling through entire Sri Lanka without any problems, eating at Chamis Place was a disaster. First of all the level of mosquitos was enormous. However, acceptable as this is Mother Nature. What in contrary is unacceptable is the way the people treated this circumstance. It took about 30 minutes and about three further enquiries that you had the feeling someone cared about it. A further request resulted in a smoking coil, which helped at least a bit. So far so good. In the meantime we were able to order food and we were among two other guests not in a crowded environment. As we received our meals we realized that it wasn’t the food we ordered. We are still asking ourselves what the guy had noted himself, as both meals were far away from the initial order. As we consulted the waiter, he immediately accused us that we received the food we ordered and it’s OUR fault. As this was proven to be wrong as he was replying our “good choice” for the calamaris while taking our orders and there was NO single calamari on the table, we insisted to receive the food we ordered. After receiving some adaptions to the food, but the mosquitos were still doing their job, we decided to eat the meals as they were. The real disaster started then by asking for the bill. The amounts on the bill were higher than the ones we have ordered. So we had to complain again. As the waiter itself was helpless he called for his boss, who emerged promptly. However with this level of aggressiveness and uncontrolled manner we both haven’t dealt in a while. Without the smallest willingness to understand about the case, he screamed at us etc, etc… As we were still in the mode to inform him about the real facts he was getting more furious, screamed around in his restaurant and accusing us that it’s all about our fault. He in contrast is not doing any mistakes. Surely nobody in this world is making any mistakes. In the end he was in a huff and requested us to only pay for the drinks. We weren’t fine with it as we also received some food and we wanted to make up for it. Still screaming at us we decided to leave the place with paying some amount higher than the drinks. About one minute away by feet he followed up with his scooter, stopping us. As this was even not enough he again shouted at us openly on the street by telling us, what we are supposed to do and not to do within his restaurant. As this was even not enough he insulted us in public by calling us mother f***ers. What is this? Is this the way Sri Lankans behave? Luckily not! So if you are in Hikkaduwa and want to enjoy some leisure time, make sure to avoid this place!!!

Beautiful place. Close to the beach, close to the centre. And it's full of plants and trees what makes it a really nice place to chill and relax. The owners were very kind and helpful

(Translated by Google) The room was nice clean, the breakfast was great and the staff are nice. All in all I am very satisfied. The price of about 11 € for 2 people including breakfast is unbeatable. I can fully recommend this accommodation. (Original) Das Zimmer war schön sauber, das Frühstück war top und die Angestellten sind nett. Alles in Allem bin ich sehr zufrieden. Der Preis mit etwa 11€ für 2 Personen inklusive Frühstück ist unschlagbar. Ich kann diese Unterkunft uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

Chamis place is definitely the most amazing place to stay in Sri Lanka we came back for 6 nights more. The staff, rooms and location are amazing. The food is delicious too. For sure we will come back to Sri Lanka, specially to Chamis place. 100% recommended

(Translated by Google) Great place! Cabin perched in the trees The food is very good and inexpensive! Friendly welcome! (Original) Super endroit ! Cabane perchée dans les arbres La nourriture est très bonne et bon marché ! Accueille sympathique !

(Translated by Google) Good location. The room was clean and even the bed smelled good. Breakfast was not tasted as we checked out very early. I recommend. (Original) Хорошее местоположение. В номере было чисто и даже постель хорошо пахлв. Завтрак не попробовали, так как выехали очень рано. Рекомендую.

(Translated by Google) Very good. Nothing to say about this place. (Original) Tres bien. Rien a redire ue recommende ce lieux.

(Translated by Google) The best staff and good atmosphere Price Here is an inn where you can enjoy the uniqueness of Hikkaduwa! (Original) 最高のスタッフと良い雰囲気のレストラン 値段 ヒッカドゥアらしさを味わえる宿ならここ！

Top place in Hikkaduwa. Chami is a star! Always going the extra mile. Recommended.

(Translated by Google) Fantastic place excellent food and attention (Original) Fantástico lugar exelente comida y atención

Really fantastic host. I didn't actually stay there but wish I did. Chami sorted me out lunch when I was stuck for cash, so on the cheap. But his place is much bigger than you think, and really cool style. Nice atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Best spot ever to stay , all staff are super helpful and nice people , the experiencia to sleep up of a tree is just amazing 🤘🏼

Stopped here for breakfast, delicious food and great staff in a cool little place

Everything was good, just a little to close to the railway tracks

Chami and the staff here are as friendly and attentive as you could wish for. The menu at Chami's offers up some wonderful choices - everything I ordered during my five visits here was freshly cooked and delicious. Great food and cold beer can be found here at very decent prices. The buildings, bar and treehouse patio are all quirky, and the whole place imaginatively decorated. And being just a few minutes walk from the beach, it's pretty conveniently located too. If you're after a taxi, tuk tuk tour or information on what to do and see locally, these guys are the people to speak to, rather than someone touting on the street. I'd recommend to anyone wanting to eat, drink and relax while visiting Hikkaduwa to drop into this cool jungle paradise. Superb!

Best place to take lunch and dinner. Very friendly staffs.. not refuse any of your requirements . Food is cheap and tasty.. cocktails are awesome 😋😋😋😍

Just a dream place! Wonderful rooms, places to chill, good music, good WiFi, amazing food... They do they best to give you the best experience

Loved dining at Chamis. We stumbled across the restaurant one night and went back every morning for breakfast until we flew home. Chamis always welcomed us warmly and often showed kindness and gratitude by giving us more food than we ordered to share his culture with us. The treetop is wonderful to sit in, it’s close to town but you feel a million miles away as it’s quiet and comfortable. Thanks Chamis and his staff!

Such a cool place... our generation of travellers will love this place... and its pretty cheap and good...

Best place in Hikkaduwa! Hope to see you soon my friend Chami!

Cozy place with good food and friendly atmosphere, where you can connect with a new people and chill!

I spent two weeks in Sri Lanka in several locations and this is the best hostel I’ve stayed in. I really appreciate the flexibility with check in check out times and breakfast time. Food was delicious and we had big portions. The bar, the atmosphere and the employees were great as well!

Really great location and owner! The new menu is fabulous and the food is delicious. It’s also great for solo, couples, or groups

(Translated by Google) We like to go back there, great ice tea, which will not make you elsewhere :) a very relaxed atmosphere at ease. Too bad the taste of food and drink is not always the same. Pancakes with banana and Nutella are sometimes with some brown liquid and the dough presolene, but at other times it is wonderful. We tasted the local specialty Kotu, pasta. (Original) Rádi se tam vracíme, skvělý ledový čaj, který vám jinde neudělají :) hodne uvolněná atmosféra na pohodu. Škoda, že chut jídel a pití není vždy stejná. Palačinky s banánem a Nutellou jsou někdy s čímsi hnědým tekutým a těsto presolene, ale jindy zase skvostné. Ochutnali jsme zde místní specialitu Kotu, těstoviny.

Love our hut in the mid coast of Sri Lanka and the owners were brilliant

Awesome place! Definitely one of the more lively places to stay in Hikka. Fantastic breakfast included! We kept extending our stay here, it was a great place to stay. We met other travellers here too.

We booked champs secret place for our last night in hikkaduwa. But when we arrived it was booked out. It looked really nice and the guy at reception was as helpful as he could be and really apologetic, which is why I’m giving it two stars. Maybe call when you book to ensure that there is a room available if you book this place.

Loved our stay at Chami's! Breakfast is fit for kings and queens, Chami is very helpful and goes the extra mile to make you feel comfortable and to help you out. Freshly caught fish on the menu and the friendliest staff. The grounds are beautiful and there is a nice vibe among the guests. Would love to go back soon!

Really beautiful place to stay in Hikkaduwa, near to the beach and shops, great ambient and super staff.

Very nice place. I booked for a night and stayed a week. Staff very kind and helpful. I will definitely come back again!

Good food and great service 😊🍲

(Translated by Google) Welcoming and available team moreover they love their job it shows! Great times spent, cool atmosphere and the team cleans every day, what more could you ask for? Nothing ! Go for it !! (Original) Équipe accueillante et disponible de plus ils aiment leur métier cela se voit ! De très bons moments passés, ambiance cool et l'équipe fait le ménage tous les jours, que demander de plus ? Rien ! Allez y !!

I spent 8 days total at Chami's place. I came back and always stayed longer than I expected because this place just feels like home. Amazing vibes, friendly staff, awesome breakfast and all the food in the restaurant, very clean place, beautiful dorms, comfortable beds, location close to the beach, bus and railway station. I hope I will have a chance to come back some day.

(Translated by Google) This place is terrifying! Since you lose your sense of reality and begin to think: can it be even more beautiful? 🤔 (Original) Это место вызывает ужас! Поскольку теряешь чувство реальности и начинаешь задумываться: может ли быть еще красивее?🤔

(Translated by Google) Good hostel! (Original) Gutes Hostel!

(Translated by Google) Very nice ho (s) tel! Very friendly staff and good food. Everything is super clean, great beds, good wifi, 1 hot shower and 1 cold (the cold was fine in the heat) and there was even a litter of kittens. If you go to Hikkaduwa, stay here. Recommended!

Alles is super schoon, prima bedden, goede wifi, 1 warme douche en 1 koude (vond de koude prima in de hitte) en er was zelfs een nestje kittens. Als je naar Hikkaduwa gaat, verblijf hier. Aanrader!

Room and bed were nice. Shower would hardly rinse soap off you! Restaurant staff miserable, I ordered home made chips, they gave me frozen french fries...said they were quicker !! 😳 charged same price though, what a rip off!

We had a great time here at Chami's place. Very clean rooms, great and helpful staff, amazing food. They can provide anything you need ;)

(Translated by Google) Everyone liked it! (Original) Все сподобалось!

(Translated by Google) Good location, helpful and friendly staff. He lived and ate here for a week. A varied breakfast. In general, the prices in the cafe are normal and the portions are larger than in other cafes along the main street (Original) Хорошее место, отзывчивый и приветливый персонал. Жил и питался тут неделю. Завтраки сытные разнообразные. Вообще цены в кафе нормальные и порции больше чем в остальных кафе по главной улице

(Translated by Google) I slept at Chami's fingers for three days and it was brilliant. Great food people and atmosphere! What more could you want? The owner of chami is a brilliant organizer and will organize everything you need. In addition, Chami has a private tuk tuk driver, always nearby if you need to go somewhere fast. Great place and very nice people. Yours sincerely 🥰🥰🥰🥰 I will be back as soon as possible. (Original) Spałam w Chami's palce 3dni i było genialnie. Świetne jedzenie ludzie oraz atmosfera ! Czego chciec więcej? Właściciel chami jest genialnym organizatorem i zorganizuje wszytsko czego byście potrzebowali. Do tego chami ma prywatnego kierowcę tuk tuk, zawsze w pobliżu jeśli musisz gdzieś na szybko pojechać. Super miejsce i bardzo fajni ludzie. Pozdrawiam serdecznie 🥰🥰🥰🥰 wrócę jak się da najszybciej.

Its a wonderful place to stay and eat, yet overpriced on Airbnb. Parking facility is not available. But staff is super Friendly and kind. Breakfast is finger licking good. Do bring your mosquito repellent when you'll be here.

Chami is a great host!

(Translated by Google) Rooms are great and clean. Breakfast is delicious (Original) Zimmer sind super und sauber. Frühstück ist sehr lecker

I have been staying at Chami's several times and was always amazed by the great and chill atmosphere, lovely and welcoming staff and interesting other travellers I met there. They have different rooms to offer, all in a green, jungle-like environment, very clean and the breakfast is authentically Sri Lankan and delicious- Chami is a relaxed, funny and charismatic guy who will always try to help you out, no matter which problems you might have. His place really felt like home in Hikkaduwa and I recommend it to anyone looking for accomodation around there. They also offer very good and cheap dinner (variety of dishes), definitely try it out as well!
