Pokoje duże, czyste. Na tarasie krzesełka i stolik. Restauracja na miejscu. Śniadania do wyboru, dla każdego coś się znajdzie. Personel bardzo miły. Bardzo blisko plaży. Blisko do różnych restauracji. Blisko do sklepików, kawiarenek i straganów.
Wszytko było ok
L’emplacement est top, à proximité de la plage. Le restaurant : les plats sont très frais et très bons. La chambre était très propre, le personnel très à l’écoute. Je recommande !
Riesige Zimmer, Balkon, superfreundliches Personal, kuschelige Bettdecke. Warmwasser immer verfügbar.
Balkon ist zwar schön, aber wegen der Affen muss man immer alles wegräumen. Dachterrasse gar nicht benützbar, aber im Haus gibt es viele Sitzbereiche.
Struttura in buona posizione e gestori accoglienti e disponibili
Non presente acqua calda, migliorabile la pulizia, non presente una finestra
Very clean and well located
The breakfast is really basic
Great aircon, very helpful staff, delicious breakfast and good location
Some blankets would be nice
Clean and every worker there was really nice!
A bit expensive for what they offer. It is a room and a private bathroom for AUD$40 But in their defense I guess that’s the price everyone is charging for a private room in the area during high season
We have had such a good stay and were very sad to leave. The location is excellent. A few minutes walk to shops, restaurants and the beach but it is still quiet and relaxing. Everyone was so helpful. We had laundry done and they also arranged a surf lesson and safari for us. We were lucky enough to see two leopards. The on site restaurant was excellent and the tuna poke bowl was outstanding. The shower was the best we have had and the aircon was fab! We loved this place and would highly recommend.
We loved everything.
Lovely accommodation with a superb location. Everything was within walking distance, with plenty of great restaurants, cafés, and shops nearby, as well as quick and easy access to the beach. It was the perfect base for exploring the area without needing any transport. The hosts were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and accommodating throughout our stay. They were always happy to help and made us feel right at home. Breakfast was plentiful and offered a great variety of options to choose from, including fresh fruit, coffee, and tea. There was something for everyone, and it was a great way to start each day. We also took advantage of the laundry service offered by the accommodation. Although there was an additional fee, it was very reasonably priced, quick, and extremely convenient during our travels. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would happily recommend this accommodation to anyone visiting the area. Great location, excellent hospitality, and everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Assenza di finestre
The rooms are comfortable and clean. The food at the restaurant ‘Flo’ is delicious and very affordable. Amazing location right in the middle of everything! They offer surf lessons with an excellent instructor. Overall the staff are very kind and helpful!
The bike rental was only 12 hours and not 24. No water refill station.
Rien à redire, la localisation était parfaite, le personnel très gentil et à l’écoute, les chambres propres !! Allez y les yeux fermés :)
Hébergement parfait à Arugam Bay. Les hôtes sont d’une incroyable gentillesse, on a adoré parler avec eux, très serviables et accueillants. La chambre était très confortable et propre, récemment remise à neuf. Disposant de la climatisation et d’une terrasse privée. Le meilleur rapport qualité prix de tout notre voyage au Sri Lanka Localisation parfaite à arugam bay, très proche de tout et à la fois au calme.
Good location Good staff Good breakfast I had a good surf trip there.
Sehr neues und sauberes Zimmer in hervorragender Lage. Die Gastgeber waren nett.
Insekten kommen durch einen kleinen Spalt unter der Tür ins Zimmer, allerdings nicht weiter schlimm. Vergleichsweise teuer, Preis-/Leistung trotzdem gut.
Petit hostel ouvert récemment, la chambre et les équipements sont donc très propre. L’hostel se situe à quelques pas de la plage et de la rue principale. Pour avoir testé les deux il y a moins de bruits que dans les logements en front de mer, les nuits sont plus agréables.
Ottima posizione, staff disponibile ma qualche barriera linguistica. Camera pulita, con A/C
Mancavano i saponi, ma ero attrezzato.
Murshith was an amazing host, the staff were super friendly. I felt really safe here and it was exactly what I needed. Murshith helped me organise transport and explained everything very clearly to me.
Everything was really good! Some bugs on the floor but that is to be expected as they are everywhere and they swept them out for me. Thank you!!
Was all good, off main street. Nice to walk to main beach.
Nothing
The stay was very well worth the affordable price. They provide a room,bed and a shower. Furthermore we used laundry services and other assistance such as a driver if needed. For the low price, you get exactly what you need in a very central location. Do not expect luxury or additional extra-perks but please consider staying here if you just want a room close to the main street and enjoy the vibes in arugam bay. In addition, there is the best breakfast/lunch/dinner place (salty swamis & Kaffi) right next to it.
On the first night we noticed quite a bit of extra bugs/guests creeping inside below the door (which is pretty normal in Sri Lanka), but we used a strip of toilet paper and flip flops to cover the gap so it wasn't a problem at all after our little solution. Also there is very limited extra space in the room, but again, considering the affordable price it is what it is.
Nice pleasant stay with clean comfortable room
The value for money is exceptional, I moved quite a few times within Arugam Bay and this was my favorite accommodation.
Great location, very friendly owner. Highly recommend to anyone staying in Aragum bay.
We planed to stay here for 1 night and actually extended to 5 nights it was that good !! Such a great host and amazing room! Would highly recommend!!
Superb Breakfast ,Excellent location,Staff were friendly and very help full.
Extend the dining area, Bathrooms are good can improve, Toiletries can improve
Staff were super friendly and helpful.

Very big rooms with AC and just everything you need for a fair price :) the breakfast is very nice and the staff lovely. It's in the city center 10 minutes away from the main beach by walking so you can have a good quiet sleep as well.
A lovely place to stay. The owner was increadibly helpful and nice. The accommodation itself was simple, but clean and had everything necessary for a pleasant stay. Breakfast was also good. Overall very good value for the money. Higy recommend!
Fantastic stay here. Rooms are huge, comfortable bed, hot shower, and so central to everything in Arugam bay - 2 minute walk to the beach! Ideal location.
The staff was really nice and amazing breakfast. The room was very big with great air conditioning. Shower was also great and worked really well. Located in the city with all kinds of restaurants around. Would definitely recommend
Excellent place, especially for the managers and staff guys, extremely welcoming, available and ready to help you in case of need. Excellent location, central to shops, bars and restaurants and very convenient to reach the surf spots, but at the same time very quiet and peaceful. Extremely recommended
The staff was really friendly and helpful!
The hosts were very nice. The breakfasts were delicious and varied. The location was a bit remote but quieter and walking distance to everything.
The shower drain is slow and causes flooding. In addition, I recommend checking the final price with the hosts and with the booking together to avoid mistakes.
Friendly staff, close to the Main Street, and the cheap price - but also meaning cheap facilities and room. Worth the value ($16) but don’t expect much.
A bit noisy at night, bathroom not super clean, lot of mosquitoes (fortunately they provide mosquitoes net). Dark room.
Great people in a quiet and nice location. Close to everything
Good location, easy walk to shops and beach - but shady and quiet from the bustle of the Main Street . Parking for our tuktuk.
The basic facilities were made up for by the great service of the hosts at every point in our stay! They are knowledgeable and helped us to reverse the Tuktuk every day!!! As well as this, the location is perfect - just far enough away that you can’t hear the music from Mambos but close enough that you can walk there in 10 mins ;)
Nothing
Really good location near the main street and beach. The staff is friendly and do everything to help you. Nice good breakfast too
Perfect location for everything, the breakfast is amazing and the room was great with a big comfy bed
no complaints
I stayed here for 1 night because the place I initially wanted to go was fully booked. I enjoyed my stay at Baywatch so much that I came back here! The people are really friendly and helpful. I was welcomed with a delicious welcome drink and they also serve a nice juice and omelette for breakfast. The room is simple but offers everything I need. The shower is really good (note that it’s cold, but I think in Arugam bay all showers are cold since that’s all you want with all the heat outside). They have a mosquito net and some rooms with AC and some with fan. Every room has a cute little terrace with seats overlooking the main garden area. Location is also perfect, close to the main street and the beach. Overall perfect stay!
Everything was good!
I highly recommend Baywatch, its staff is exceptionally kind, very attentive to each of our needs. The rooms are comfortable and spacious, in addition to being very well located!
change breakfast a few times
The staff is the nicest, they do everything to make your stay easy and nice. The room has everything you need. The breakfast is good. I would come again!
Such a lovely place to stay. Great location staff are so nice and helpful. Would definitely recommend to anyone
Nice breakfast location, absolutely nice personal and boss - so friendly and helpful. They made our laundry, arranged a taxi to our next destination in Sri Lanka and everything for fair price. Easy communication in WhatsApp. Highly recommended!!!
A spider in our room. But yeah welcome in Asia 😂
Very big room, good location, not on the main road.
Not very clean.
- perfect location - big room, big bathroom - AC working very well - nice simple breakfast (omelette and the) - comfy bed and pillows - friendly staff
- there is no curtain in the room, so we had to make one ourselves using a sheet - the room is quite dark
Really enjoyed my stay here, the room was basic but had everything I needed. Mosquito net worked very well and the bathroom/shower was spacious. I was greeted with a smile every time and Murshith was super friendly and really enjoyed getting to know you. He also helped arrange a surf lesson for me last minute and it was one of my favorite activities I did in Arugam Bay. Extremely close to the beach, just 1-2 minute walk and very close to restaurants and all the action at night.
Would be a bonus if you could include a small broom in the room to push sand out that accumulates throughout the stay.
Super helpful owner&stuff. They always find a way how to make me breakie even I have a lot of food restrictions(gluten free and vegetarian). Perfect location - 3 minutes to the beach but calm side road. The room has everything you need.
Was a bit sceptical about the place because of a very few reviews, but they are newly open and it's a really good place to stay in Arugambay. Booked 1 night, but stayed for 2 more. The place is near main street, but not too close so it's not too noisy. The room I had is basic, but with everything you need for a short or longer stay. They even allow you to use their kitchen to keep and cook food if you like to. Breakfast is common Sri Lankan dishes, but is tasty and plentiful. Guys working here are cool and will help you with anything you need. Enjoyed my stay!
Those damn flies at the porch 😄
The hosts are just incredibly kind and they help us with every need. Thanks a lot again. I loved this calm environment. Strong WiFi, good environment. Simply amazed. 10/10
