"Hotel Garcinia was an excellent piece of tranquility in a green environment. Manager Frank is a very friendly person who quickly responds and tries his best to fulfill all our needs. The bed was nicely decorated with rose flowers, and the room was clean and spacious. The food was delicious, but the available variations were limited within our package."

"Honestly, there wasn’t anything major to dislike. Everything was well managed and met our expectations. The stay was comfortable and enjoyable overall."
"The hotel is beautifully located in quiet green surroundings. Away from the busy and touristy centre of Hikkaduwa this place felt like an oasis. The staff is super friendly and made us lots of delicious meals. Our little 2 year old daughter loved the pool and just walking around in the neighborhood. The hotel arranges a free tuktuk per day roundtrip to take you to the city. I would highly recommend this place if you want a genuine Sri Lankan experience"
"The beds were a bit hard, but that is a personal preference"
"We arrived at this little pearl, tucked away from the busy Hikkaduwa, not knowing what to expect — and what a wonderful surprise it was. A true hidden gem, warmly run by Harsha, Dilanthi, and Praveen. It’s not a luxury retreat, but a beautiful “less is more” experience surrounded by genuine nature. We will definitely be coming back."
"Aucun."
"We had a wonderful time at Garcinia Leaf, like always! The team, the food, the nice pool and the clean room are the things that make us come again and again."
"Aucun."
"The staff, they were incredible and couldn’t have done much more for our stay. The hotel was lovely and the rooms were fantastic as was the pool. The hotel is a bit far from Hikkaduwa, make sure you don’t pay more than 700LKR for a tuk tuk there and back."
"Maybe a slightly more of a range for breakfast, but we had was still delicious."
