Little Fairy Home B&B

location was good and quiet and kind staff

Mosquito infested bathrooms, stained sheets, no natural light in rooms

Posizione ottima, in una traversa della Main Street di Arugam Bay. Camera semplice ed essenziale. Il gestore è una persona squisita, subito disponibile a risolvere qualunque dubbio o problema (anche con i pagamenti). La cucina offre tutto ciò di cui si ha bisogno. Compagnia di dolci gatti e cani, a volte anche scimmiette a debita lontananza! Rapporto qualità prezzo ottimo!

La cucina potrebbe essere migliorata, con qualche accortenza in più sulla pulizia.

Qualitat preu molt be. Esta molt centric.

No hi ha aire i vam passar calor

Pas très propre, un peu loin de la plage mais pas dérangeant

Cafards et pleins d’insectes dans la chambre

Amazing place to stay. We had a good time over there🫶thank you so muxh

la chambre spacieuse et la propreté. très bon rapport qualité prix

les lumière restent allumées toute la nuit, et pas d’eau potable à disposition

The property was fantastic and very well located. However, the absolute best thing was the treatment we received from Sam. Sam was available all the time and helped us with anything we needed in our stay in Arugam Bay, from helping us to book transportation and rent surf boards at fair prices to giving us tips and advice. It felt like staying at a friend and we are very thankful for that. PS: if you can, book the breakfast option. Sam makes it himself. The breakfast is delicious, local and different every day (picture of one of the days attached)

Die Lage war gut

Hätte ein wenig sauberer sein können

The owner is always helpful and friendly. The room is decent for the price.

The open kitchen requires a lot of effort to keep clean because many crows cause disturbances while cooking or eating throughout the town. This guest house is no exception. Sources

The location is close to the beach.

Me and my husband slept here for 4 nights. The rooms look nothing like the pictures. They are old, poorly maintained, and very disappointing. The toilet was dirty, smelled terrible, and the bed sheets were stained and worn out. The air conditioning does not work properly because the swing is broken, so the cold air blows directly onto you all night, making it very uncomfortable. The owner was extremely rude, demanded the money upfront (never happened before in Sri Lanka), and showed no interest in keeping the place clean. Trash bins were overflowing for days, and instead of being emptied, his friends would come and sit in the garden drinking beer. To make things worse, insects, frogs, and spiders kept coming into the room. Overall, it was an unpleasant and uncomfortable stay — I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Heel aangenaam en idyllisch! Vraag een muggennet, naast de muggen hou je ook andere beestjes buiten. Prijs-kwaliteit is het top!

I am a female solo traveler and decided to stay here after reading many positive reviews. Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. I don’t mind if a place is not perfect aesthetically or if there are stains here and there, but the noise during the night was unbearable. I could not sleep at all. The air conditioning was either freezing cold when on, or unbearably hot when off, and it was not adjustable. Through the (plastic?) roof I could hear animals running all night, which made the sounds even louder. As a woman traveling alone, I did not feel safe. I was too afraid to go to the bathroom during the night because of animals around, and I felt very uncomfortable. I decided to leave after the first night, even though I had booked three nights. The friendly concierge offered to change my room, but I no longer felt safe or comfortable and desperately needed proper rest. Unfortunately, the owner (who was not present) refused to refund the two unused nights, so I had to pay the full amount. This was sadly the worst stay I’ve had in three weeks of traveling in Sri Lanka.

Schöne, ruhige Anlage und dennoch in wenigen Gehminuten in der Stadt oder am Strand. Sam war sehr nett und bemüht unseren Wünschen nachzukommen (z.B. Moskitonetz). Gutes Frühstück.

Unterkunft war nicht dicht (kleine Tierchen im Zimmer, v.a. viele Ameisen). Bad und restliches Zimmer sind nur durch halbhohe Wand getrennt. Kein Fenster, lüften nur über offene Tür möglich. Da es sehr warm war, hatten wir die ganze Nacht den Ventilator an (leider sehr laut und nur wenig Effekt), um es in der Hütte überhaupt auszuhalten. Die Küche lädt wenig zum Kochen ein.

Abbiamo trascorso un soggiorno molto piacevole. La posizione è perfetta: in una zona tranquilla, ma a pochi minuti a piedi dalla via principale, quindi comoda per spostarsi senza rinunciare alla quiete. Uno dei punti forti è sicuramente il cortile interno, chiuso e molto riservato, ideale per rilassarsi. È ben attrezzato con cucina comune, amaca e chaise longue, oltre a essere ben illuminato e funzionale. La camera era in ordine e conforme alla descrizione. Un ringraziamento speciale all'host, sempre disponibile e gentile: ci ha aiutato a organizzare tour, noleggiare lo scooter e ci ha procurato tutto il necessario quando richiesto. Consigliatissimo per chi cerca un soggiorno rilassante ma comodo.

La camera si trova al piano terra: comoda e conforme alla descrizione. Va però tenuto presente che, trattandosi di una struttura immersa nella natura, non è raro trovare qualche animaletto (rane, insetti, ecc.) — nulla di problematico, ma da considerare se si è particolarmente sensibili a questo aspetto. C'è vicina anche una moschea, quindi si sente il richiamo alla preghiera al mattino.

Our host, Rijab, honestly made our whole stay. From the start he was super welcoming, always checking in to make sure we were comfortable, and he made everything so stress free. He even arranged our transport from Colombo to Arugam Bay and back, which saved us a lot of hassle. Everything was smooth and organised from start to finish. The room itself was great for three people. The room was spacious enough and super comfortable. The AC worked really well (which honestly was a lifesaver in Arugam Bay, ‘cause we definitely needed it for our preference). It made coming back to the room after being out in the heat so much better. What also stood out was how thoughtful Rijab was . One night my friend wasn’t feeling well, and he came with medication plus lime soda, which helped her feel better quickly. Little things like that really made a big difference. If you want a place where you don’t have to worry about a single thing, this is definitely it.

Honestly, we don’t have a single bad thing to say about our experience. Between the comfy room and the incredible hosting, our trip felt easy, stress free, and really enjoyable. Highly recommend staying here!

Petit chalet propre et climatisé à l'écart de l'agitation de la rue principale tout en étant très proche, ainsi que de la plage. Petit déjeuner délicieux et inventif. Fourniture de services sur demande (scooter, tuk tuk, taxi...)

Aménagements un peu rudimentaires.

We had a great time staying here, the atmosphere was brilliant. Having the kitchen and shared space was also a massive bonus 😃 Sam the owner was super helpful, and really helped us out with onward travel and things to do while staying in the area. Location is really good as you can easily walk to everything but it’s just set back enough that you don’t get disturbed on the party nights in town.

Die Unterkunft ist sehr sauber und hygienisch. Es liegt etwas hinter der Hauptstrasse daher ist es sehr ruhig aber trotzdem Zentral. Die Küche kann man jederzeit nutzen und sie hat jeden Equipment das man brauchen kann. Wenn man die Unterkunft mit Frühstück bucht bekommt man ein Individuelles Frühstück frisch gemacht zu einer beliebigen Zeit. Der Vermiter ist sehr bemüht und kümmert sich zm alles sehr zuverlässig. Wir würden definitiv wieder kommen!

I had three wonderful days in Arugam Bay! You stay in a beautiful garden and it is very quite at night. For reaching the Beach or the Main Road it is Only a few minutes Walk. When I arrived, the Room was very clean and offered everything, you need, Even adapters for electronical devices! The bed was also very comfortable. I rented the Room with fan and therefore it is very good to have a mosquito net with you. If you don‘t have one, the Manager will give it to you! :-) The price-Ratio Performance in Little Fairy Home is excellent! But far the Best for me were the friendliness and the generosity of Sam, who is the Manager. I accidently booked my room without breakfast and he gave me breakfast for free! Also he allowed me to leave my things in the Hotel and Even shower there again after my checkout, because I had to wait a few Hours for the taxi and wanted to go to the Beach. I can also highly recommend to accept his offer to arrange Trips for you! Thanks to Sam I had an amazing Surfing lesson, a great Safari to Kumana Nationalpark and a very comfortable shared Taxi Ride to my next destination. Thank you for everything! :-)

I liked it a Lot in Little Fairy Home, but please keep in mind, if you want to Book it, that because of the beautiful garden there are more insects and animals in General than in a „normal“ Hotel. If you are Fine with that, it is a great place to stay!

Quiet location off the hussle and beach party street. Breakfast to measure with vegan and vegetarian option. If I were a 20 year old solo surf traveler, it would have been okay.

The place was dirty and not well maintained. There were no mosquito nets - the only time in the whole country. The staff kept on asking for prepayment - also the only time in the whole country. The bathroom was kind of to be avoided. Cockroaches running wild inside. The bed was extremely uncomfortable and very squeaky, such a disappointment after two lovely weeks travelling to the best locations around. Cheap pillows and dito mattress. Fungus in the bathroom and on the ceiling. One of our rooms had a fake ceiling which made it so low we barely could stand up straight. The bathroom looked like an outdoor shower. So our daughter decided to sleep either us instead. There was no way to make the booking undone - also the only hotel in Sri Lanka… The shared kitchen was pretty dirty too, tables for breakfast never cleaned, the stains of the day before were still there. Besides the very poor accommodation, the laundry service messed up so many clothes and brought it back with more stains than before. So once again, with low expectations it’s probably a nice place, but for me not worth the money.

Little Fairy is the best place to stay in Arugam bay. I have been travelling Sri Lanka for 3 months. I honestly had the best night sleep it is so quiet and peaceful yet a few minutes walk from the main town. Sam is so helpful and friendly and I have made a friend for life.

Nothing I wish I could have stayed longer

Very calm and peaceful with a really nice host and hospitality.

I had an extraordinary beautiful stay at Little Fary hotel. The atmosphere is great, I got in tough with the other guests in the relaxing communal kitchen and still it is a quiet place. We share some food and have coffee together. The owner is very kind and likes to help and even showed me you around the Arugambay. Thanks and hope to find time to come back one day.

Very comfortable rooms and the best hosts I had during my time in Sri Lanka!

All are good.. parking small problem. Gate very highly. Pls repairer it.

I got a better room than I booked. I was there off the season so there was almost no people. It was so quiet - perfect for resting and getting a deep sleep. Sam prepared chicken soup and aloe juice for me, and he even lent me his scooter to ride around the countryside. I am very thankful I had a chance to be there. Thank you Sam for all the tips and advice! Hope to see you one day :)

I chose this place because it’s PET FRIENDLY. This service is not found that easily in most places in Arugambay.

It’s a ok comfortable clean cosy little place. Rijad & staff very hospitable.

Good accommodation. Friendly owner. Quiet place close to the sea and centre.

Good location a short walk away from the main road. They allowed us to check in 3 hours early.

Our room did not have any running water multiple times during our two night stay. The tap in the bathroom was broken, so the water had to be turned on and off from the wall to operate the sink. When the sink was on, the pipes leaked heavily so the floor would be soaking wet shortly after turning it on.

Good place to stay. Bed was bit noicy due to the wood

Romantic place
