I really love my time at homebase and hiriketiya. I originally planned to be there for a few days but ended up staying for a month. This is definitely one of the best coliving places I've stayed at, it's perfect for remote working and does really feel like a home. 100% recommend.
Fantastic.
I had a truly lovely time staying with the Homebase family.
We all became very close, hung out, share food, experiences and overall good energy.
It's a great combination of convenience for the digital nomads and authentic local feelings.
The service of everyone is on such a high level. Everything was taken care of and I had a good time and more throughout my stay.
Appreciate the hospitality Lucky, Nilani, Rajika, Sistha.
Love you all. 💛
I recently stayed at Homebase Hiriketiya and was blown away by how warm, comfortable, and delightful the whole experience was. It’s exactly what you want if you’re traveling as a digital nomad, surfer, or just want a “home away from home” in Sri Lanka.
Homebase Hiriketiya is more than just somewhere to stay, it’s a true home in every sense of the word. 🏠From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at ease. The rooms are cozy, well-equipped and have everything you need. There are also spacious kitchens where you can cook. Plus, having a laundry machine and all the essentials on hand made the whole experience even more comfortable.
What really makes this place extraordinary, though, is the people. Lisi and Lucky are absolute gems. They put so much care and thought into every detail, from the atmosphere to the activities. Lucky, being Sri Lankan, shared so much about the history and culture of the country, I really felt like I was immersed in the local culture, which made my time there even more enriching.
The staff, especially Nilani and Rajika, are incredibly warm and welcoming. They go above and beyond to make sure you feel at home.
It’s because of the amazing people at Homebase that I ended up staying in Hiriketiya for much longer than I had planned. I’ll definitely be back, this place has truly become my “home away from home” in Sri Lanka. If you’re looking for a place that feels like family, look no further!
Coming from the hospitality industry the claim "home away from home" already feels a bit overused. But then there is Homebase. A place that truly, and to be honest for me also unexpectedly, feels like home. It actually gave the word "home" a new meaning for me. What makes this place so special are, without a doubt, the lovely people. There are Lisi & Lucky, who opened Homebase. Lisi really has an eye for detail and it is such a pleasure to discover all the thoughtfull touches inside and outside the house. Whereas Lucky shares lots of insights into Buddhism and the Sri Lankan culture. I truly enjoyed the talks about life and everything in between. And then there are Nilani, Tharu and Lumal. They are not only taking care of the property, making sure everything is clean and running smoothly. Even more so they create this instant feeling of being welcome and well looked after. All five of them put a lot of effort in creating the community at Homebase. Never thought that living with strangers could turn out to be such a wonderful experience. We had spontaneous breakfasts, lunches or dinners together, went to yoga or meditation classes, the beach and other activities. My favourites were the curry nights combined with cooking lessons from the team and some local events Nilani invited us to. On top of the great atmosphere Homebase provides fully equipped kitchens (we were allowed to use spices, oils, etc.), filtered water! (no need to carry water bottles home) and even the laundry detergent for the washing machine. I am so happy that I got to stay there for almost 7 weeks and can only recommend it to anyone, who is looking for accommodation in Hiriketiya. What's still left to say: I miss home!
Lisi & Lucky are the best! I stayed here for a whole month at their place – and from day one, it felt like home. Homebase is so much more than just a place to stay – it’s a real, small community that feels like family. The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming, and the overall vibe is warm, safe, and inspiring.
As a guest, you also benefit from Lisi’s amazing creativity: she organized everything from visits to a local school to curry cooking nights, skill shares, and art workshops – beautiful experiences that bring people together and are a beautiful way to learn about life in Sri Lanka.
And let’s not forget: Lucky is the best surf teacher in all of Hiriketiya! 🏄♂️ If you're looking for a space to connect, grow, and feel at home – this is it. Will come back soon! 🧡
Homebase was my first co-living experience, and what an experience it was... I had the privilege and honour to call this place my home for an entire month.
Homebase is a true factory for creating unforgettable memories, from the friendliness and openness of the guests, to the genuine dedication and kindness of the staff; shout out to Nilani, Tharu and Lumal, you are truly inspiring humans and I’m so grateful our paths crossed; and obviously the marvellous creators and owners of this place, Lisi and Lucky. These two authentic souls have established something truly special and unique here, thanks to their hard work, passion, and wholesomeness.
Not only Homebase is a place to stay and work, with comfortable bedrooms, a cosy workspace and fast internet, but it’s also a place to connect, share and learn. If you’re keen on trying Sri Lankan food, or love it already, the Saturday curry nights will be your blast. If you’re seeking inspiration and networking, the skillshare sessions will bring you just that. Not to mention endless other activities and events which will be right at your door.
No I wasn’t paid to write this review (also didn’t use Chat GPT :P), this is genuine and this is what you get.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for this unforgettable stay and all the precious moments spent together 🫶 Keep the Homebase going and growing, it’s an absolute gem!
