"Everyting we searched for in Arugam Bay!"

10.0

The garden was very cozy and beautiful and the area was peaceful right next to the beach. It was the perfect mix of hostel-friendly people and private calm vacation. The staff was so kind and helpfull! Also great breakfast for a good price!

Wifi was a bit dodgy in our room but worked well in the garden.

"Un sans faute !"

10.0

L'emplacement est idéal, a deux pas de la plage et de la rue principale avec les boutiques et les restos mais tout en étant très calme et paisible. L'histoire du lieu et de cette famille nous a particulièrement touchée. Nous avons également fait appel au frère du prioritaire pour nos cours de surf et ca a été génial !! Il était adorable, pédagogue, encourageant et fun. Je recommande à 100% ce lieu pour son cadre et aussi le petit dej (même s'ils n'ont plus la vue mer depuis la construction d'un hôtel devant leur terrain, ca vaut le coup parce que c'est un petit havre de paix bien conservé). Merci pour tout.

Nous avons juste eu un petit souci avec la clim que nous n'arrivions pas a régler mais rien de bien grave car elle était réglée a une température convenable pour nous.

1.0

Gar nichts.

Das Personal war unfreundlich, wir sind angereist und uns wurde gesagt es ist kein Zimmer mehr frei. Tage vorher kam irgendwie über booking eine Anfrage ob wir bitte stornieren können. Das haben wir leider übersehen, hier kam auch keine direkte Nachricht mit einer Begründung. Ich habe die Unterkunft im Januar - Februar gebucht und im Mai waren wir vor Ort! Es gab auch keine Angabe warum plötzlich kein Zimmer zur Verfügung war. Bei booking war die Unterkunft immer noch drin, aber zu einem teureren Preis, es lässt vermuten das ihnen einfach das Angebot im Nachhinein zu günstig war oder warum auch immer. Wir waren Anfang der Session dort und es gab noch genügend Auswahl an anderen Unterkünften, trotzdem haben wir durch die kurzfristige Buchung etwas mehr zahlen müssen. Einfach nur beschissen, kann ich nicht empfehlen!
