The Nuga House

This was a really lovely place to stay. With a small number of rooms available it felt quite cosy and personal. The staff were lovely and recommended some local bars. They also provide a recommendation list in your rooms and we did a cooking class with Deevi off there which was great! We also used one of their recommended tuk tuk drivers who was lovely.

La décoration soignée, la gentillesse du personnel, les petits déjeuners excellents, les cours de yoga avec Cat et l'emplacement au calme mais à moins de 10 minutes à pied de la plage de Kabalana! On a tout aimé, nous avons passé un séjour exceptionnel!

The place was honest about what to expect and it 100% delivered on the same.

La habitación estaba al lado de la cafetería, sin intimidad y con ruido constante. El lavabo se embozó el 1er día y no fueron capaces de solucionarlo. Por último la ducha no tenía agua suficientemente caliente. No lo recomiendo.

Struttura con dell’ottimo potenziale ad Ahangama. Vengono organizzate lezioni di yoga ogni mattina.

La struttura sembra un po’ trasandata.

Lovely clean room, comfy beds, really nice pool area.

The security guy was holding his hands out and begging when we went to the room. I understand we need to tip - but was a bit full on. Only opened the gate and showed us to our room - we all carry our own bags etc.

The staff was polite, helpful, wonderful , Nuga House was a pleasant surprise, well maintained . options for early check in are available at nominal fee & even late check is available but always good to inform them , so can accommodate accordingly ill definitely recommend & stay again at NUGA, they were kind enough to organise cake & basic birthday decor for my bf's bday as well after , helpful for local contacts etc

we were there during monsoon season, couldn't access the jacuzzi etc was not clean as well

Room was super clean and really lovely looking! The whole property and pool is stunning! It’s out of town which we loved because it was so quiet and peaceful. The food at the Nuga House is insane!! I had some of the best meals of my trip in Sri Lanka here. The staff are lovely and the chef greeted us with the best smile I’ve ever seen every morning! So great here would 1000% come back to stay here!

Het personeel probeerde direct te helpen waar nodig en waren zeer vriendelijk. Het concept van het hotel is zeer fijn en we zien de mogelijkheden zeker!

Ze gaven bij aankomst aan dat het hun eerste openingsdag was na werken. Er waren nog volop werken aan de gang wat op zich niet stoorde wat betreft geluid maar je zag het wel. Jammer ook dat het ijsbad nog geen ijsbad was en de yogaklas nog niet van start was. Dit was een beetje de reden dat we dit verblijf gekozen hadden. Ook in de kamer was duidelijk dat de werken nog niet lang gedaan waren, zo hing er nog (vermoedelijk) een zeer sterke verfgeur, dit bemoeilijkte het slapen.

We loved our stay. We booked in the off season and the nuga house was under construction. The lovely team organised accomadation for us in their villa next to the nuga house. They were very accomadating, provided recommendations for things to do in the off season. Even though we missed out on yoga at the nuga house, upon request they provided us yoga mats for us to use. Everything was kept very clean and the rooms are lovely.

We loved our stay here! Welcome drink, great location and breakfast included. Yoga at the main building up stairs and a relax by the pool made this spot unforgettable. Staff were so friendly and accomodating.

הארוחת בוקר הייתה מעולה , החדרים היו נקיים ומרווחים חדר משפחה גדול ויפה מקלחת גדולה , בריכה יפה ונקיה הילדים נהנו מאוד , עשינו יוגה ב 8:30 היה מעולה , ארוחת צהריים אכלנו במלון ולפעמים גם ערב , היה מושלם תודה

Really enjoyed our 8 night stay at the Nuga House. Staff, food, rooms, pool were all highlights. Would not hesitate to book.

A few touch ups there and there would make it a solid 10/10

The property was so soothing and calm, absolutely loved it!

Everything was great, no complaints.

Grundsätzlich ist es ein wirklich Schönes Hotel in einer guten Lage am Kabalana Beach. Bis nach Ahangama rein kann man sich ein Tuk Tuk für 5 Minuten nehmen. Das Hotel kann auch Fahrer vermitteln. Das Restaurant hat einen schönen lockeren Vibe, das Essen ist super lecker und Kaffee spitze. Das Frühstück ist von der Karte und richtig gut. Die Zimmer sind an sich gut, gepflegt und wir hatten keine Viecher. Es gibt ein Yoga-Angebot für tägliches Yoga. Die Hotelmanagerin ist sehr freundlich und bemüht alles zu ermöglichen, so mussten wir einen Tag ein Zimmer verlängern und sie hat es uns ohne Aufpreis ermöglicht, wir sind dann quasi abends ausgecheckt. Es wird täglich das Zimmer gereinigt.

Die Anlage bräuchte meiner Meinung nach eine kleine Renovierung. Die Zimmer sind zwar wirklich in Ordnung aber nicht so schön neu wie auf den Bildern. Außerdem sind die Zimmer recht klein, sodass man nicht wirklich viel Stauraum für Koffer etc. hat. Wenn man zu zweit und ohne Kinder reist, ist das wahrscheinlich kein Problem, aber mit Kindern wird’s in den Zimmern etwas eng. Die Handtücher haben leider ein bisschen gerochen, die Toilette war nicht richtig im Boden verankert (hat gewackelt beim drauf setzen) und die Zimmertür lies sich nicht richtig verschließen. Dies habe ich den Mitarbeitern am ersten Tag mitgeteilt, man sagte mir ein Hausmeister würde kommen und es reparieren. Aber das ist leider nicht passiert. Das Personal spricht leider nicht besonders gut Englisch, sodass richtige Absprachen eigentlich nur mit der Managerin getroffen werden können (dann klappt es). Wenn sie aber nicht da ist, dann wird’s schwieriger.

The location is great, situated in a really nice area of Ahangama and just a short walk to the beach. The physical property itself is lovely. My room was very comfortable and clean. The common areas were also well-maintained, and I really appreciated the beautiful touch of the staff bringing in fresh flowers to the shared spaces every day.

Unfortunately, the management and hidden fees completely ruined the vibe of my stay. First, despite my Booking.com reservation stating I could pay via credit card at the hotel, the property shared my credit card details with a third-party company that charged an unexpected 4% fee on top of my agreed rate. I was told I could pay at the property to be reimbursed, but when I asked the manager to cancel the third-party charge so I could pay with my card at the desk, she was incredibly dismissive. She refused to take my credit card and told me to go to an ATM to get cash instead. The whole payment process felt deceptive and like a scam. Secondly, the property advertises itself as a "yoga hotel" with daily classes. However, they fail to mention on their profile that these classes cost extra. While they clearly state that things like surfboard rentals are an additional charge, the yoga fees are completely hidden until you arrive. Combined with staff who were generally unwelcoming, these deceptive practices overshadowed what is otherwise a beautiful building. I would not return.

It was a very peaceful location and the room was very comfortable

Struttura incredibilmente accogliente, camere ampie e pulite dotate di tutti i comfort. Colazione squisita con diverse opzioni. Possibilità di effettuare lezioni di yoga quotidiane....Posizioni buona e vicina a spiaggia e ristoranti. Atmosfera magica e rilassante.... tappa fondamentale del vostro viaggio in Sri Lanka.

Toppenbra läge nära kabalana strand men inte direkt vid vägen. Fint och ombonat med välinredda bungalows. Mycket bra restaurang för frukost lunch och middag, populär bland turister men inte överfull. Fantastiska yogalektioner med välutbildade lärare i en shala med luftkonditioneringen. Bäst av allt är ändå personalen som alltid gör det lilla extra i köket i städer och i bemötandet. En mycket familjär atmosfär där man känner sig mer som familj än en anonym gäst. Chefen för hotellet för alltid det lilla extra och är väldigt tillmötesgående, inget är ett problem för henne utan hon löser allt! Fantastiskt boende!

Camera spaziosa e letto comodo. Buona la colazione anche se con poca scelta dal menù alla carta. A due passi dalla spiaggia.

La piscina era sporca.

Absolutely everything, what an amazing and relaxing place to stay!

Everything is amazing, very comfortable stay. Pleasing for the eyes & the people are incredible. Super helpful & friendly.

Cute little place Outside of the madness of ahangama Nice owners

Mosquitosss

Colazione

Piscina piccola

Very friendly staff and wonderful yoga class. The rooms are spacious.

Mega comfortabele kamer, ruim opgezet en lekker met een eigen zitje, met zowel een airco als een fan! T zwembad is aan de kleine kant, maar wel heel lekker na een dag strand voor nog even een snelle duik!

Van mij mag t kopje koffie al iets eerder beschikbaar zijn!

Rustige plek in Ahangama. Mooie huisjes met een schone badkamer en goede bedden. Ontbijt was ook heerlijk!

-

Loved the bar, cappuccino was amazing! Rooms were clean and well decorated. Lovely hot shower and the pool was an absolute plus!

Un havre de paix, très soigné et beau, une très bonne nourriture et un emplacement parfait au calme à proximité de la plage et du surf et non loin du village!

Breakfast

Cleaning

Great friendly staff and delicious included breakfast. Walkable to Kabalana beach.

Feels like it could do it with a refresh. More soft furnishings and decor in the room would make it feel less austere. There could also be more comfy places to sit near the pool.

Staff was super nice and helpful

Gorgeous rooms, loved the aesthetics and vibe here. Friendly staff, delicious food and attended a yoga class that was amazing!

Beautiful rooms, great showers, delicious food, friendly helpful staff

Nothing

Beautiful B&B, rooms and communal area. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The bed was super comfy and the room felt like a little oasis. Also a great selection of breakfast choices!

It was a little bit further out of town- we love to walk everywhere and whilst the distance was fine it was along a main road which felt a bit sketchy and we didn’t like walking along there

Great location, walking distance from Kabalana beach or 5 minute tuk tuk into Ahangama. Rooms were spacious and clean and the pool was lovely. The restaurant area was a really nice spot to chill out.

Amazing peaceful stay at The Nuga House. If you want a tranquil, clean and high quality stay in Ahangama, this is the place for you. Yoga classes are available every morning, they have a cafe onsite and a pool to cool down in the heat.

The water flow in the bathroom sink is really slow

Great and helpful staff, stylish & clean room, very central, and relaxing yoga classes. Would come back and recommend!

Lovely place with great staff... and the best coffee around! Situated far enough from the main coastal road (no noise!) and close enough to walk to a number of restaurants and the beach/surf

A bit pricy (in high season at least).

Lovely place, amazing food and service. We really enjoyed our time here. Morning yoga was excellent and they helped with tuktuk.

You need a Tuktuk to get to the town and there was a party place nearby so you might need ear plugs.

The entire vibe of the property was great! We felt very welcome and comfortable

Nothing in particular!

It’s a nice atmosphere and very aesthetic good breakfast.

The facilities weren’t really working.

Supre nice staff, very good location however you'll still need a bike, or take a tuk tuk.

Too close to the nature, there are huge gaps under the doors, we had 4 frogs in the room in 2 days.

Really everything! The super friendly staff, beautiful, clean bungalow in a jungle-like green garden with a pool, early morning surfing and yoga, delicious breakfasts. We could not be happier!

Beautiful pool & facilities and yoga teachers. The staff were polite & attentive, always happy to help. Lovely breakfast included with plenty of options. A family of monkeys play in the trees which is wonderful to watch. Ahangama is a beautiful town to stay in

I should have been more vigilant however assumed for the price I was paying yoga was included, bit of a shock at the end when checking out

Lovely room, pool area & yoga classes.

Bathroom was hot and smelt a bit.

The ambience.

The fact that there was no electricity when we came. The water pressure when having a wash was a little low.

Lovely stay at Nuga House - the pool and faculties were great. Staff were so friendly and it’s a beautiful hotel!

Struggled with the bugs inside the room but as expected for Sri Lanka!

Beautiful rooms, yoga shala and cafe. The staff was super friendly and highly responsive to any requests. Great yoga sessions.

There was loud music on some nights from surrounding properties, so make sure to bring some earplugs if you are a light sleeper.

Friendly and helpful staff. Quiet location. Super nice, clean rooms.

Most of it was good, really helpful and friendly staff, safe, great breakfast. Clean and nice rooms, beautiful facilities.

Super friendly staff, amazing breakfast, great location and nice yoga classes!

Location is very good if you like Kabalana beach, which we loved - walking distance! Breakfast is good and rooms are nicely decorated. The convenience of the yoga classes was great and the class itself was amazing. The room is cleaned every day.

The room add a fridge but no water or anything else on it. Even though the property has a water bootle from where you can always take a glass, I think it would've been nice to have a bootle in the room to take to the beach on the next day. The pillows were not very confortable in the room as well as the bed sheets.

We had a wonderful time at the Nuga house, the team was super friendly and the place is so beautiful, so much style. Wonderful coffee, and yoga space. Thank you

The pool wasn’t so clean.

Every single thing! We travelled with a 3 year old and she also loved it. From the food to the pool, the rooms and lastly the amazing, friendly staff! We have already booked to go again next year! X

Nothing

Great atmosphere and nice staff. Situated close to many different beaches and places to go to in Ahangama and around. Great with the possibility to do yoga everyday. Very good and diverse breakfast.

We liked everything but The yoga could have started earlier, like 7am.

The team, vibe, food, pool, smoothie bowls, yogi breakfast, yin class and friendly TukTuk drivers who were nearby were all great. Slightly random to leave in a review but even the branding was super cool haha! We purchased a shirt with the logo on it and wish it came as art prints.

Superb spacious rooms, nice and friendly staff, great garden and restaurant. Feels really like an oasis.

Our second time at Nuga house and we love it as much as we did the first time! The hotel manager and all the other staff is so friendly and is always available if anything. The best breakfast in Sri Lanka is included in the stay and they also have lunch in the café - really good food!! We will definitely be back!

This was our second stay at the Nuga house and we would love to come back. All the best to the team!

Great place, really comfy room with a big bathroom which feels like outside. Absolut recommendation. Outside area is beautiful with a great pool and the best coffee in kabalana at the restaurant. Yoga facilities can be used free of charge outside yoga classes.

Very good location in the middle of vegetation. Comfortable and spacious rooms. Very friendly staff. Healthy breakfasts and good coffee.

The amazing staff who were so polite & the food was delicious!!! Nice to have the option of Yoga 🧘🏼‍♀️ too & the manager Neus was so helpful with recommendations for places to go.

Nothing!

I had a great stay at Nuga house. The rooms are clean and nice. A/C and mosquito net provided, and towels. Everyday cleaning. Good Breakfast and 1 hot drink included. Filtered water for free. The cafe is open until 4pm. In the morning times there is a Yoga class to join. Beach is within reach. And there are a lot of places around to explore. The staff is amazing, and helps with every need. Thank you!

Super cute and comfortable hotel. They offered yoga at the hotel in the mornings wich was really nice. Breakfast was good and staff was really nice. The spot is perfect with everything close by in walking distance.

To put some perspective this is my 16th trip to Sri Lanka and the first time with a child. So I really know the different types of accommodation options available in this area. I was genuinely blown away by Nuga House. Just everything from the communications knowing we won’t be arriving until 1am, the big rooms, the little touches like lots of board racks to store your surf boards, outside showers so you don’t bring the sand into the room, food options, lots of storage in the rooms to organise yourself properly without it overtaking the room space, a yoga studio which I used to stretch between surf sessions, beyond friendly staff - they literally spoilt our daughter everyday. Plus the fact you are a 6 minute walk from a world class wave at Kabalana. The owner Ari is a kind and no mess about gentlemen and the girls handling the food and beverage plus bookings were exceptional. My family and me are beyond grateful with the way Nuga house took care of us. We plan to come back every year now and stay longer next time.

Not really anything negative to say on this place.

the vibe, in house yoga classes, food was good. staff was always helpfull in everything. music selection in the hotel was top. the location near Kabalana (Best overall Beach) was perfect.

there could be a Beach towels in the room and one for the showers on the ground.
