Myself and 7 of of my friends have just returned from a 4 day break in Sri Lanka and we had the utmost pleasure of staying at Villa Kasum. Thanks to other reviews on Trip Advisor we decided to give this private villa a go rather than go for better known hotels in Galle and Bentota and were absolutely delighted... more

Well I didn't stay at Villa Kusum but I've been there 3 times to eat and will be back! I lived in Hikkaduwa for 2 years (now live in Colombo) and was ecstatically happy to discover this foodie heaven when some friends told me about it. Bizarrely I lived around the corner but didn't know it existed. The food is... more

First, there is no doubt Villa Kusum is a beautiful place. But I have to be honest, it is not that great of a stay. Sure the staff is great, but for the price I was shocked by how noisy my room was. The top floor rooms are right off the main road and it is LOUD! Without a doubt... more

My husband, 14 year old son and I spent 6 days at Villa Kusum in Patuwatha, Sri Lanka, just south of Hikkaduwa. We found it to be charming and with unparalleled service. We were a bit ahead of the tourist season and so we had the undivided attention of both the owner, Lammert, and his staff. They went well beyond... more

We stayed here for 2 nights in April 2007. The quality of the villa, its furnishings and attention to detail on every level was excellent. We ate at the villa one evening and the food (although quite pricey by local standards) was fantastic, and worth the added expense. Bearing this in mind, by UK prices, this was an absolute bargain... more

My wife and two children spent seven nights here at the start of April 2007. The villa is stunning and luxurious (check out pics on their web site [--]) as is the pool. We had the beach to ourselves about 1km in each direction, awewsome. The food was excellent and always fresh and cooked to our specification. The staff were... more

Villa Kusum is a mix from a 5-star hotel and the advantages of a small project where you easily can feel yourself "at home" It is a private home residence in Patuwatha-Dodanduwa, a 5 min. walk to Hikkaduwa. Rooms are really big, nicely furnished and decorated in an understated style - lots of character and very welcoming. They have a... more
