How did you choose these places?
We searched Google Maps for each type of place in Hikkaduwa. We kept only places Google lists as open, inside Hikkaduwa, with enough reviews for the rating to mean something. Then we ranked them by rating, giving less weight to places with few reviews. We did not get paid to include any place.
Where this comes from
Ratings, review counts, opening hours, price levels and addresses are from Google Maps (Places API), checked on 20 October 2026. Google Maps users write the reviews; Friday.lk does not change them. We do not list prices because they change often.
