Thanks Sumith for a terrific stay over New Years. Ridee Villa is Fantastic. One minute walk to beach, best bed and bathroom I experienced in Sri Lanka. Breakfast was an absolute treat with a variety of delicious foods on offer and the staff always went out of their way to ensure our stay was a memorable one. Highly Recommended to... More

We stayed with Sumith and the gang last Christmas time, 26 December for 6 nights,2011 - 12. This was our first stop in Sri Lanka and was by far and away the loveliest hotel we stayed at. Some were larger or grander in scale, but the care taken by Sumith and the boys was marvellous. Little exquisite Sri Lanka sweets... More

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.

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...

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
