The family was sooo kind and helpful. The room was clean snd very close to the beach!
The shower was not working well. Water pressure was not strong.
Super tolle und nette Gastgeberin mit ihrer Familie. Die Unterkunft liegt direkt gegenüber des Kabalana Strandes mit leckerem Essen in der Umgebung

La limpieza, los gerentes del hotel y la ubicación
A great bed, spacious and clean room and a great bathroom. The best thing is the kindness and friendliness of the owners
Nice clean air conditioned rooms, with a great location - 1 minute walk from Kabalana Beach.
Океан через дорогу, рядом вкусные кафе. Комнаты чистые, в них прохладно спать. Комфортно и уютно
Не было такого. Ноль минусов
I extended my stay by 3 more nights! loccation is perfect, like 2 mins to kabalana beach. Owners are all in to help you with anything: I asked for table and chair as I had some work to do and it was delivered, I also spotted some small ants, so they just came sprayed and I didn’t see them anymore:D Overall nice stay.
all was good
Really nice location, just few min from the town. Really quite
Buon rapporto qualità prezzo, staff gentile. Attraversi la strada e sei in spiaggia. Il letto era enorme e comodo. Mi hanno dato anche un sapone.
Camera umida e un po buia, ma è una cosa molto comune in sri lanka. Avendo l aria condizionata non è stato un problema
On est resté qu’une nuit dans cet établissement donc nous avions une chambre en adéquation avec ce cours séjour cependant très propre et personnes charmantes
Ahangama’da 10 gece kaldıktan sonra 1 gece de burada kalmak istedim. Son gecemi burada burada geçirdim. Bu çevreyi çok seviyorum zaten. Hem direkt merkezi konum hem kafe restoranlar çok yakın. Hem sahile 1 dklık mesafede. Ev sahipleri harika insanlar. Çok çok iyiler. Odalar temiz ferah geniş yatak yastık çok iyiydi. Duş güzel. Ben çok memnun kaldım. Fiyat da çok uygun. Çok teşekkürler 😍🥳🤩🫠🇱🇰🌴🌴
Very nice family, they even gave me a what’s up number for anything I’ll need. Room was clean and with good quality for the low price.
- Owners are really lovely - Location is really great. Max 1 min from the beach
- Room is fairly small for the price - Room is somehow getting extremely hot (even at night) and fans are just fanning hot air. - No mosquito net but anti-mosquito plug provided - Train passing at the end of the garden is really noisy (luckily there are not so many) - Area is a bit pricy for what it is (touristy place)
Hosts were very kind and try to help you with all your questions. Room was big and bed was ok. Very close to the beach with not too many people so very good location.
No AC in the room, only a fan, so can be a bit warm during the night but still doable.
The owners are so helpful, if we had a problem they would help us. I accidentally booked the wrong dates but they called me and I was able to change with no issues. One time we didn’t have hot water so they let us use another room to have a hot shower, this was very kind! They also gave us drinking water which was very kind. The location is so close to the beach which is great and lots of restaurants around. It’s about a 15/20 min walk to get to the main bit of ahangama but there’s lots of tuk tuks around as well if you need to get there quicker. The room was clean and the beds are comfortable. The owners are so friendly and nice!
The WiFi didn’t connect in our room, only outside the room, but this wasn’t a problem as I have a Sri Lankan sim with internet :)
Location was great
Dinesh and his family are lovely - they are very welcoming and go over and above to help you enjoy your stay in Ahangama. He got us a great deal on airport transfer, tuk tuks and rental scooters. He even got us a really good rate on currency exchange. The room was spacious, and clean. The bed and pillows were super comfy. It’s right over the road with a 2 minute walk to Kabalana beach, or 30 seconds if you cut through one of the big hotels ;) Will stay here again next time we visit Sri Lanka (for the 4th time ;) )
Nothing really, but the wifi was hit and miss, but seems like the whole area was a bit of a black spot. Didn’t affect us as you can get a SIM card for $15 AUD with 50gb basically anywhere.
Dinesh and his family are amazing. They took such good care of us. We truly felt at home. They cooked delicious food everyday for us. Their house is really nice - it has a huge garden and terrace where you can enjoy your meals. The location is so prime - it is by the most beautiful surfing beach - Kabalana beach. Thank you so much to Dinesh and his family for a truly amazing stay!
The owner of the place is so friendly and he was helping me with getting my lost luggage from the airline company
Very nice experience with a very lovely family. Dinesh and its familly are wonderfull host available and ready to help you to make your stay in Sri Lanka a good experience.
Location is right on the other side of the road of a great surf spot. Restaurant and shops are within minutes of walking distance. Comfortable and clean rooms, family running the place are super lovely and always trying to make you feel at home! Will definitely come back.

i booked a room for 2 nights and ended up staying here for the remaining two and a half weeks of my vacation. the rooms are clean and comfortable and the accommodation is perfectly located for the beach. but by far the best thing here are the hosts. they are the friendliest and most helpful people i have met so far. they helped me with everything, i could rent a scooter very cheaply through them, i was always served with coffee, tea or water, the room was cleaned regularly, if there was a problem they always helped me and i could go to them with all my wishes. i not only spent my vacation time here but also made new friends! :)
The room was clean and the staff very friendly
The accommodation was best basic, and the room was very hot.
Very nice owners! Close to kabbalana beach :))
Great spot near Kabalana beach. Big room and bed. Friendly staff :)
Only a fan, no AC
Very kind and friendly family, we had a great time there! I would definitely recommend the place. Clean, close to the beach and with some nice Restaurants around as well. Also we had an amazing breakfast!
We liked everything about our stay! The room is very spacious and comfortable and although it had no AC the room was cool during the day, there is also a really good fan. There was no mosquito net but it was not a problem, we haven’t seen even one bug :) the location is perfect, right in front of the Kabalana beach. Totally recommend!
Not only the location was amazing, but since the beginning of our stay we had such a special connection and relationship with the family that owns the place! We had such good dinner with them and they always tried to help us in any way possible! Can highly recommend coming here, you come as guest and leave as friends.
Excellently hospitality and great location. I would recommend to anyone who plan to stay in Ahangama for surf or to visit this town. Dinesh and his family makes you feel at home everytime. I would stay at this place anytime I come back to Ahangama
The family are so lovely and kind, they did everything to make my stay as comfortable as possible such as providing me an adaptor and an umbrella because it was raining. It’s the little things that mean a lot! :) the room itself is spacious and very very clean! The location is perfect being close to the surf spots and also the town itself. I really really enjoyed my stay here. Thank you so much again!

This has by far been the best home stay I have ever stayed at. Dinesh and his family are so lovely & helpful! The room was very clean, and Dinesh and his wife were always available if I had any questions or needed help. The shower was good & hot (if you need help working it as I did, just ask Dinesh!). There are peacocks in the field next door and fireflies in the front yard- so magical. It is steps from Kabalana beach and very close to some great restaurants.
Amazing bed!
Not much.
Everything. The host is awesome, everything was clean and quiet. Perfect stay!
The room was small but very nice and clean and Dinesh and his family were so kind and even gave us a lift to Ahangama and drove us to Galle after our stay. Kabalana beach is a super nice quiet and clean beach only 50 m from Surf Front's rooms. We highly recommend this place!
Very nice and accomodating host. The room is very spacious and has a fridge and a kettle. It's located right on kabalana beach at the main road but still relatively quiet. Also the room is very bright because it has a big door in front of the bed.
