Guest Reviews

• Orel (10/5): -
• philippe (8/5): Een rustige oase aan de Oostkust Sri Lanka - Vlotte regeling bij technische problemen zoals defecte of slecht afgestelde airco. Heel vriendelijke medewerkers, zelfs de manager. Waren geïnteresseerd in ons. Zeer rustig in het hotel Zou toch op onze kamer een opfrisbeurt mogen hebben. Bediening in restaurant kon wat vlugger. Niet alle medewerkers begrijpen Engels maar met Google Translate is het haalbaar
• Howard (7/5): - Bed was comfy. Decent breakfast. The guy in the pool bar/breakfast area was very attentive. A short walk to the beach. Enjoyed the BBQ fish at the Wave restaurant with a 10% discount. Air con and fan in the room. Hotel in general is a little run down but adequate for the price and our requirements
• Pramuditha (10/5): Everything was perfect - Everything Nothing
• Madhawa (10/5): Best Hotel in Arugambay - I recently stayed at The Blue Wave Hotel in Arugam Bay and had a fantastic experience. The room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The staff were extremely helpful and always ready with a smile. I really enjoyed the swimming pool area—it was clean and a great place to relax after exploring the beach. Overall, it’s a great place for comfort, service, and value. Highly recommended!”
• Dhanushka (10/5): Cozy Vibes & Friendly Faces - Such a refreshing place.The team treats you like family, the rooms feel cozy and modern, and everything just flows smoothly. A stay that genuinely lifts your mood. Loved it.❤️
• abishek (10/5): - Loved my time at Blue Wave Arugambay. The team was super friendly and always ready to assist. The room was tidy and comfortable, and the overall atmosphere was very relaxing. Highly recommended
• kosala (10/5): Great Hospitality - Our stay at The Blue Wave Hotel was fantastic. It’s a wonderful place for families, with a peaceful environment and excellent facilities. The staff were kind, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. The room was spacious and spotless, and everything was perfectly arranged for a comfortable stay. We will definitely return and recommend it to friends and family.
• Tik Tok Special (10/5): Great value & Execellent Service - The Blue Wave Hotel is one of the best places I’ve stayed in the area. The rooms are well-maintained, the food is tasty, and the housekeeping team does an outstanding job. The hotel offers great value for the price, and the staff go above and beyond to make sure guests have a pleasant experience. Highly recommended!
• Nandun (10/5): -
• Hettiarachchi (10/5): Frindly and helpful sfaff,Nice location - Swimming pool ,room,meals,location,service,staff Nothing
• Rohita (3/5): Not good - Not worth the money Basic hotel and very expensive
• Gilad (3/5): - It’s not a Hotel. It’s a Hostel. Doesn’t worth the rate. There are much better places
• Hen (1/5): חוצפה שלוקחים מחיר כזה, זה כמו אכסניה - מקום פשוט מתחת לכל ביקורת, מלון יקר ותמורה נמוכה מאד. מים במקלחת בקושי היו. לא ממליצה בכלל הכל! חדרים קטנים, מקלחת מגעילה, הפסקות חשמל, מים בקושי יוצאים
• Sandra (6/5): Pleasant - Functional and good location - good restaurant.
• Martin (7/5): -
• רז (10/5): -
• TEHILA (5/5): -

• Birgit (8/5): -
• רסקין (10/5): -
• Jacque (10/5): Relaxing stay at Blue wave - excellent stay at the Blue wave, staff were friendly, attentive and went out of their way to make our stay memorable. Breakfast was delicious and the pool was a nice way to get away from the heat. Def recommend staying here.
• Jon (9/5): Nice hotel with driver accomodation -
• Jane (5/5): -
• Amar (8/5): -
• Kevin (7/5): Bon emplacement mais très mauvais rapport qualité prix - L’emplacement Le rapport qualité prix. Les prestations ne sont pas à la hauteur du prix et les nuits sont bien trop chères. La piscine est impraticable car elle est sale et trouble. De plus, le lit était vraiment confortable à cause d’un matelas quasi inexistant et très fin. Cela ne vaut pas le prix.
• Ilse (8/5): -
• Lindy (7/5): Great location and staff but hotel is a bit tired and lacking in maintenance. - Fantastic location and great staff. The property was a bit run down and needed some maintenance.
• Stephen (4/5): -
• Rene (8/5): -
• Alison (10/5): Perfect - Greeted with a cool cloth and a drink as we arrived. Kind and attentive staff. Kumar was very informative and welcoming. The accommodation is beautiful, huge and really clean. Private pool is excellent too. Had a lovely dinner too after the safari. Would stay here again. Nothing
• Eveline (8/5): Mooi hotel dichtbij strand met groot zwembad - Goed hotel met groot zwembad dichtbij strand. Niet zo heel sfeervol gelegen. Eten was ok. Vriendelijk personeel.. Erg duur
• Ilse (9/5): -
• Brendan (8/5): - Staff were great, pool was clean. Good location close to restaurants and shops. Quick tuk tuk to the beach
• Damon (7/5): Great location / Mediocre service - Location, and size of the room - served ice when asked.. Breakfast - no instructions Cleaning - didn't happen in 4 days, ran out of toilet paper No hair drier / Iron Cleaning was super expensive Someone opened an adjourning room to look at us awkwardly (minimal security)
• Felicity (10/5): Great family friendly beachside hotel - Blue Wave 10/10 Our expectations of Arugam Bay were pretty flat. As we took the turn off of the main road up to the hotel, we gave each other a nervous glance as the area between the main road and the hotel is pretty rundown, however as the driver turned into the hotel reception area, ww felt immediately at ease. The hotel is large with a decent size swimming pool and restaurant area (although the restaurant area was mainly used for breakfast only). The room was clean, spacious and functional with everything you need. There are viewing balconies at L2 as well as a rooftop terrace area where you can watch the sunrise. but what really made this hotel such a special experience was the staff. Chamara and the team really went the extra to make sure that everything was done perfectly. Whenever we had a question or a request the team were there to assist (Chamara very knowledgeable about Sri Lankan history and great for travel Tips). The location is also superb. You are literally a 1min walk away from the main strip and a 2min walk from the beach. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay at the hotel longer as we had to move on due to full occupancy. Overall, highly recommended.
• oier (9/5): - El hotel esta en muy buen estado; limpio,acogedor y con todo lo que necesitas.El buffet del desayuno muy bueno. Muy recomendable. Hicimos uso del gimnasio y este se encuentra con falta de matenimiento.
• Shihan (8/5): Luxury stay very close to the beach - This hotel located close to the beach. Beach is few minutes away on foot. Rooms were clean, spacious and had all amenities needed. Staff was friendly and helpful. We had string hoppers for breakfast and it was delicious. Parking avaliable in front of the hotel. Overall stay was good and can be recommended. Maintance is low. AC and safety deposit box had issues.
• Dhanushka (10/5): 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 “Exceptional Stay – Clean, Comfortable & Friendly!” - I had an amazing experience at Blue Wave Arugambay! The room was spacious, super clean, and had everything I needed—AC, mini fridge, TV, and a comfortable bed. The pool was a real highlight—clean and perfect to relax after a day at the beach. What really made my stay special was the staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially at the front desk. They helped arrange tuk-tuks, gave great local tips, and always greeted with a smile. The location is also ideal—just a short walk to the beach and close to great restaurants and surf spots. I definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Arugambay. Great value for money. Would 100% stay again!
• Sanjeewa (10/5): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Service, Delicious Food & Relaxing Atmosphere - I recently stayed at Blue Wave Arugambay Hotel, and I had an amazing experience from start to finish. From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything I needed. Their warm hospitality made me feel right at home. The service throughout my stay was top-notch – very professional and efficient. Every request was handled with a smile, and the team truly goes above and beyond to make guests feel comfortable. The food at the hotel was delicious and fresh every day. There were a variety of options to choose from, and everything was prepared with care. Whether it was breakfast, lunch, or dinner, I was always impressed by the quality and taste. The pool was another highlight of my stay. It was very clean, well-maintained, and quite large, making it perfect for swimming or just relaxing by the water. It added so much to the peaceful and enjoyable atmosphere of the hotel. The rooms were also comfortable, clean, and beautifully designed with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. Overall, Blue Wave Arugambay is the perfect place to stay if you’re visiting Arugam Bay. Whether you’re traveling for surfing, relaxing, or exploring the area, this hotel offers excellent value, great service, and a truly memorable experience. I will definitely come back again!
• Roberto (7/5): Good - The pool needs to be cleaned
• Andrew (1/5): Inedible food, dirty & overpriced!! - The ONLY thing we liked about the property were the beds, they were comfortable and clean. Everything, apart from the above! The place was just dirty, the table at breakfast, the pool chairs, the pool itself was murky which was worrying! The breakfast, arrived at the table told no SL breakfast available only western. When it came apart from the fruit & pancakes the rest was inedible. The so called western breakfast was odd, mash potato? Stir fry? And what was expected on the breakfast, chicken sausage and beans were both fridge cold and the eggs were raw!!! We obviously didn’t eat it! The tea & coffee were also disgusting, undrinkable! At check out we complained and asked to not be charged for the breakfast, at first they said we must pay for the whole breakfast, we refused, they then just insisted on us paying for the juice, fruit & pancakes, which we did, just to leave this experience behind! Literally no idea of customer satisfaction/service! We have travelled all over Sri Lanka and never experienced anything like this, by far the worst experience we’ve had at a hotel anywhere in the world!
• Ahmed (5/5): Passable -

• Sam (4/5): Over rated over priced - Staff aome were lovely, bug clean pool, big room Air con failed at night, 3men walking through the room chatting while trying to sleep (i get it they were trying to fix it) stayed the night elsewhere, we were not given anything for the inconvenience, we did not eat breakfast there as restaurant staff were non existent, again still haf to pay, inconvenience leaving my bag there 1.5hrs after checkout. Do not have half the facilities they promise (sauna, spa service, gym, no pool table Very overated and over priced. Much better places with an easy vibe and better facilities around Non existent hot water, scarce warm water
• Alicia (4/5): Not what the pics look like - Big room, big clean pool, door locked well, friendly staff Hardly ever hot/warm water, pillows thick lumpy, bed hard, sheet isnt enough, no shade at the pool, gym didnt work, no pool table/spa/sauna like stated, drinks or food would take min 30min, foot rinse did t work, didnt have warm chill vibe
• Dj (6/5): Pleasant -
• Oshan (5/5): Passable - Pool is very good. Breakfast is not up to value. Room is ok but need to be more clean there was a cockroach. Variety of breakfast

For my birthday they were so kind to offer a cake and when returning to our room after breakfast I found a happy birthday writing with flowers. Thank you very much for your hospitality and kindness!

• Kandeepan (4/5): Disappointing -
• Angela (6/5): Good price for a hotel like this. - We came to Blue Wave, for its location, close to the main area, with restaurants within walking distance. The hotel itself is very welcoming. Lovely grand entrance, beautiful gardens. The staff were very helpful. The rooms were super clean and very spacious. Breakfast was ok and had all of what we needed to start our day. The beds were very hard and the pillows very uncomfortable.
• Gihan (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect from check-in to check-out

• Viktor (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lesley (3/5): Poor - Not a lot really. Location was good It was so noisy here and I’d asked for a quiet room. Turns out it was due to large troop of monkeys running all over the corrugated roof to get to the tree outside the room. They went on most of the night. No phone in room so if you needed anything you had to traipse all the way to reception Just one towel. No hand towel given. No restaurant for evening meal. No hairdryer. This hotel wasn’t for me at all and unfortunately was the worst one of quite a few I stayed at. I haven’t ever left a negative review anywhere before .
• Emil (9/5): Close to the main street, but on the back, clean rooms, good breakfast and swimming pool available - Great personel, very friendly and helpful staff.
• Yuval (7/5): Good -
• Shani (10/5): Exceptional -
• Hila (3/5): Bad service, broken room - The location Poor service. Gave me a poor broken room with bad smell even tought I booked a diffrent room 2.5 month ahead! They did not care about it.in fact they even said I could not expect they will keep me the roon even when I booked and confirmed my arrival!
• Bashan (10/5): Great hotel at good price - The hotel staff is amazing! The pool was big and clean, the rooms are big and very clean :) Overall very good hotel! Best in Arugam The room is big but they put 1 extra bed, I think it's better to remove the 3rd bed as most people do not need this and it blocks a lot of space. In addition, the mattress is pretty hard, but we slept well.
• Rosenblit (4/5): Disappointing -
• Virendre (8/5): Very good -
• Julie (8/5): Very good - The pool is great. Friendly staff. The location is good. Breakfast was not really to my taste.. but the fruits were fresh and good
• Pete (7/5): Really comfortable hotel, great place to stay to explore Arugambay. - Excellent staff, great location, good sized room Pool and pool area lacks vibe. The pool also had quite murky water while we were there so not sure how often it is cleaned.
• Salih (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nina (7/5): Good - Friendly staff, great location near the beach and the center. Overall comfortable. The hotel is a bit outdated and could use a touch up. Staff should be more proactive when it comes to cleaning rooms and offering new supplies.
• Subae (1/5): Bad - Unfortunately nothing The room was small, the pool full of mosquitoes The stuff was not nice at all The safe doesn’t working The toilet spread bed smell to the entire room *Very not recommended!!!! *
• Rebecca (7/5): Good -
• Ian (8/5): A good base in Arugam - Nice hotel with good rooms , working aircon, a great breakfast and friendly courteous staff. Well located but not beachfront. Reasonable value too. The general manager went out of his way to help us when we had difficulty with a taxi. The pool water was a little cloudy and maybe the filters weren't turned on?
• Anura (7/5): Good -
• Mike (8/5): Very good -
• Jake (7/5): Pleasent stay and lovely location - Brilliant location and staff were really friendly, comfortable rooms too The gym facility on sight was minimal and most equipment not working. Also when we checked in our room hadn’t been made up yet
• Louie (7/5): Good -
• Simon (9/5): Good location, great staff, good pool, v basic gym. - Location was good, central in Arugam bay and short walk to the beach. Also set back so it was quiet. Easy to find as well signposted from the main drag. Pool was nice, rooms were comfortable and a/c worked well. Staff were really great. Gym was disappointing. The shower was sometimes not working properly, the breakfast was nice and good choice but if you don’t arrive for 7am it goes cold.
• Peter (8/5): Had a wonderful stay as usual. Can’t wait to come back - Good location and nice and quiet
• Alex (10/5): Exceptional -
• Stefan (9/5): Great place to stay in Arugam Bay - I was actually pleasantly surprised at this hotel. I had read some negative reviews but I like the hotel. The rooms were nice, with comfortable beds. The bathroom was clean. There was a fridge and a patio. We had a ground floor room so we had no issues with the elevator. The pool was lovely. The food was good. We ate dinner at the restaurant twice, off the Ala carte menu and it was very tasty. They were very accommodating, making us breakfast packets since we has to leave at 4am and at 2am! Greatly appreciated! We ate one breakfast at the hotel and it was buffet, very nice. nothing
