Samba Ahangama

Property was good with the bohemian style and cute and compact for a couple stay.

Felt like a bit more maintenance will make the property look even better.

Séjour exceptionnel ! L’hôtel est hyper cosy, chaleureux et convivial, on s’y sent vraiment bien dès l’arrivée. Le mobilier est simple et de bon goût, et surtout la literie était très confortable et impeccable. L’ambiance générale est apaisante, parfaite pour se détendre quelques jours. Le personnel est également très agréable et accueillant, ce qui rend l’expérience encore plus mémorable.

Seul petit point négatif : la présence de cafards dans la salle de bain, ce qui peut être dérangeant. Cela reste toutefois un détail comparé à la qualité globale du séjour.

The staff was very friendly, and also the location was very close to the main street. The breakfast was very tasteful and good prices! Also good coffee.

The bed was bit small, and also in the bathroom there were a lot of ants crawling... Airconditioning made a lot of noise during the night.

Good price, great mattress and a nice design in common areas

Would have expected a bit more premium experience from the dorm room. The mattress is great, as well as air conditioning. But based on the contemporary design I would have expected more from the dorm - basic bunk bed with a very uncomfortable ladder to get up, no windows in the room, nowhere to sit except your bed. The location is 1km away from the active centre area, a bit of daily walking by road in the heat. There was no water on my last morning.

The staff of Smaba was so friendly we loved the whole accommodation the room was very clean. We had a balcony, a beautiful bathroom and room, and it also included a breakfast which was delicious. You could always choose among eight different variations. The room service was great - every time we entered the room it was smelling amazing and also the owner and manager of Samba was so professional. It was also possible to pay with card which not often is the case in Sri Lanka and he was also super helpful when it came to other services such as printing documents or doing our laundry overall we can highly recommend and would always choose to come back.

Nothing

Avi was a great host and communicated clearly throughout the stay. They room was even better than the pictures and was comfortable and clean. This is a great location in Ahangama and I would definitely come back! Would recommend!

Everything was perfect

We stayed in the private room 1 night and the dorm 3 nights. Both rooms were spotless, comfortable and the bathrooms were amazing. The staff were incredibly friendly!

So welcoming

We stayed previously so had to return!

Enjoyed the breakfast, bacon, sausage and egg. The location is spectacular, you exit the premises walk across the road and the beach is right there.

Dinner was a disappointment due to not having what I requested. Instead I was offered what I believe to be frozen chicken strips deep fried with a sauce that came from a bottle. The towel in the bathroom was dirty, it looked like a woman used it to remove her makeup without washing first. I only found out after I showered, so had no choice but to use the 'clean' side to quickly dry off. The power went off twice, leaving me without AC

- beautiful place - room and bathroom were great

- bit far from the center

Minimalist setup and good breakfast

Rooms are very small and more focused on a back packer public .

Súper recomendable. El desayuno era increíble y café buenísimo. A 12 mins andando del centro pero más tranquilo. Personal super amable y habitaciones muy cómodas. Sin duda repetiría

Good food and good ambience.

Clean and friendly

Завтраки вкусные и большие, чистые номера, вежливый персонал

Frukosten var rejäl, fick välja från menyn vad du ville ha. Samba ligger nära till Ahangama Secret Beach så det var perfekt att bada och sola där. Nära till centrum, promenera eller ta en TukTuk, helt perfekt.

Sängen var lite svår att sova in, den knackade så fort du vände dig om, någon festlighet pågick i närområdet så det var lite svårt att somna.

Good location, walking distance to beach, plenty of food options in the vicinity, including their own restaurant which serves some pretty good food.

Room is small and felt a tad over priced - when compared to other options nearby offering better value for money.

We loved the whole experience at Samba - from the service, kind and friendly staff, clean and comfortable room, place to store our surf boards, incredible food, and the loac8just outside of the main hustle and bustle of Ahangama is perfect!

Nothing. I would come back in a heartbeat.

Alojamiento fantástico en Ahangama, cama cómoda y personal muy atento! Cerca de las playas del sur para hacer surf o hacer turismo.

The property is very cozy and cute and neatly located

The rooms are a tad bit small

Clean and aesthetic decorated room in really good location!

We loved our stay at Samba! The staff where friendly and helpful, the breakfast was great every morning, the rooms where clean and comfortable and the vibe around Samba where great, definitely recommend!

Das Frühstück und die Lage waren sehr gut. Die Zimmer fallen kleiner aus als gedacht und das Bad könnte etwas instand gebracht werden. Sonst war alles top!

Struttura super carina ed accogliente! Siamo stati benissimo, arredi curati e proprietario molto simpatico ci ha preparato la cena nonostante fossimo arrivati dopo l’orario di chiusura del ristorante. Piatti molto buoni, a colazione si possono scegliere un opzione per piatto e bevanda dal menu, le porzioni non sono grandi ma tutto buonissimo. da consigliare l’insalata di verdura e frutta! A 15min a piedi al paese di Ahangama ma a metà strada con Midigama, di fronte c’è la Secret Beach spiaggia bellissima con i pescatori sugli stick. Grazie a tutti i ragazzi dello staff che ci hanno aiutato per ogni esigenza. Torneremo sicuramente!

Niente

El servicio de cada uno del personal fue genial! El sitio es muy acogedor y se ve muy cuidado. La habitación perfecta y muy limpia. Y la comida buenísima! Volvería sin duda.

Todo perfecto!

Чудесный отель рядом с прекрасным секретным пляжем, самые вкусные завтраки, особая благодарность управляющему Акиле за его помощь во всех вопросах и доступность в любое время, чистый номер

Один день пришли муравьи, но с ними быстро расправились работники отеля

Amazing! Super aesthetic

Very convenient location. Friendly staff. Clean and well kept rooms and facilities.

I liked everything about the accommodation. The staff is very friendly, and the manager Akila is extremely courteous and helpful. The location was great, and the room was very clean.

/

Friendly staff and easy access to beach

Room is bit small. But that is manageable

- The staff are really friendly and helpful - The breakfast (worth getting it included) and coffee was amazing. You could tell all the food and drinks had great care put into them - The room was well laid out and had underbed storage for bags

Nothing

Very friendly and helpful staff

The location wasn’t clear exactly in the centre of ahangama

Location of the hotel, service, staff, availability, cleanliness, and information given by the Manager, We were well taken care of. The breakfast was nice, the staff were polite and Akila the Manager extended his help whenever I had any queries. It's a very nice place, well-kept overall What can be enhanced: Random hot water for the shower, but didn't bother us Better pillow - as I have a spine issue

All was good

Facility, Food, Location was excellent. Definitely food, especially the breakfast was a highlight. Service was good too.

There were constant power outages in the area, probably due to a storm. Not a deal breaker in our case.

I had a really good time in the dorm here

good and calm place

wifi connection not good

-Stayed just one night, but the vibe was very cool -Well-kept and welcoming hostel with nice decor -Great atmosphere overall, even if the room was a bit small and the A/C wasn’t super strong

-Nothing major - maybe just the location, which is a little out of the way

Samba was amazing. The staff were all very very kind, the rooms were clean, had good and working a/c, and the beds in the dorms were very comfortable. The restaurant was also an amazing place for coffee and breakfast in the morning. Highly recommend to anyone in the south coast!🤙🏽

The property is very pretty and clean

Tad bit smaller rooms

beautiful rooms (6 bed dorm), clean towels, curtains, you don‘t hear the street noise, location is really nice, bathroom situation is really good 3 showers and 3 toilets

restaurant/ chill area closes quite early so you don‘t have anywhere to hang out and socialize, not a very social hostel

I had a really nice sleep, good AC, nice bathroom (outdoor)

Bathroom area should be cleaned more (the bins are very stinky, they don’t empty it enough) No information at check in In the restaurant their English is not good, I told them I don’t want eggs for breakfast and still 10min later they put 2 eggs on my plate.

Super nice place to stay in. Staff super nice. The dorms were super comfortable but maybe a bit small. But still worked pretty well.

Is still central if you have a scotter. If not it’s 20min walk away from main road and mais restaurants. For me it was perfect. Still amazing recommendations of really good restaurants and coffees around. And you have just a nearby story where to rent a scooter

Location, the staff, the breakfast, the overall relaxed friendly vibe

Fresh premises, location, wifi, air conditioning, interior, flexibility

Not very social hostel, not the best one for networking

Beautiful interior

Kind of small for staying more than 2 Nights, no closed door to the bathroom

Rooms were great, bathrooms were clean and they have the CUTEST ELEPHANT COFFEE ART!!!

I wish there were lockers for our bags

The location is very nice and close to the beach. The stuff is very nice and helpful. I liked the breakfast: It was the best breakfast I had in Sri Lanka.

The room was not 100 % clean. We had some hair on the floor and we had some dust at the lamps.

Nice style and very clean. Very tasty breakfasts that u can order during the day.

It was a problem with air conditioning. It flows.

Fancy room with rain shower (warm)

It has noisy moments as it’s on the main road and some dogs barking. But besides that slept well!

Such a great place! I stayed here last year and knew I wanted to come back. Akila and the team are all AMAZING and make sure you feel special and looked after during your stay. The breakfast is DELICIOUS and very generous portion sizes. And the location was great for our time in that area - a short distance from places like The Lighthouse, The Kip, Uncles, Trax, The Palm etc - and also easy to get to Galle from.

The bed was comfortable and nice that breakfast is included in the price. Nice rooftop and which can be used by guests. The room was quite small compared to the pictures but that didn’t bother us. Location was okay as Ahangama is quite big but at least 25 minute walk to the main beach and surf spots.

The AC in our room was broken during our stay but the housekeeping staff said it would be fixed the next day, which given we only stayed one night wasn’t the best. There were signs of ageing at the property compared to some of the pictures

This is the kind of hostel you want to stay longer. The rooms and beds are very comfortable, the food is good (great hangout), and the owner is a great host! Also 2 minute walk from the most beautiful Secret Beach.

Nothing!

Samba’s hotel staff was amazing. They helped me with everything and they were super nice and welcoming. The food is great. The rooms are very nice - value for money is very good.

Nothing

The room and the location. And Akila, the manager, was also very kind and helpful! :)

Nice place, very clean and cool style. Breakfast was amazing!

A bit noisy and close to the road. A bit expensive for a private rooms. A bit far out of Ahangama.

Nice restaurant. Close to secret beach.

I stayed in both dorm rooms while there. One had lockers in the room to keep your bags safe and out of the way as well as a bathroom. The other room has a bathroom outside of the room that was often dirty and no lockable storage for bags. There are no real areas for guests to socialise other than the restaurant which closes after a certain time anyway. It's not a social hostel and a bit further away from the centre of town. Fine for couples or friends to stay, but wouldn't recommend for solo travellers.

I booked a bed in the dorm as I wanted a place only to keep my bags and sleep for the night. I got a clean room for a very decent price. Convenient location in Ahanagama except for the beach.

Loved this place! Super friendly staff, stunning clean rooms and so lovely! Close to the secret beach, about 15 minutes walk to the busier area in Ahangama

The staff was amazing specially the main person Akila. He was extremely nice and friendly and spoke very well. The rooms were good too and very clean with all animities provided. Food was tasty.

Nothing at all

Their private rooms were super clean and tidy. The washrooms were clean and had hot water facilities. Good water pressure. Their stay-in and restaurant are in the same place. It has a warm ambience and cozy chairs in their restaurant. Their breakfast was phenomenal and delicious. It's located 1km away from the ahangama town and right in front of the ahangama beach and the secret beach. The hosts were friendly and had great service. They didn't discriminate because we were locals which most other restaurants and hotel hosts do.

The only con is their rooms are quite small for the price. Only around 100sqft. Not very spacious for two people but it's not too compact.

Nice location, close to the secret beach and various restaurants located right at the water (and a few minutes to the centre by Tuk Tuk) Helpful and friendly staff Good breakfast options Overall we enjoyed our stay here

Room was not properly cleaned (we did not ask them to do anything about it, they probably would have fixed it) Noisy due to the proximity to the main road Rather on the expensive side for what you get
