- Mo (10/5): Bombastisch - Tolle Menschen und schöner Ort zu nächtigen Nichts:)
- Maria (8/5): - It's a hostel that started many years ago and they know how to manage it. It's easy to talk with her and get a lot of information. And always enjoy some black tea 😁
- William (10/5): Tranquil. - So close to a quiet beach. Cheap restqurants very near by. Shop opposite. Staff helpful and friendly. Kitchen available and free drinking water. I would stay again.
- Deborah (8/5): - Séjour en famille 4 nuits Petite cuisine extérieur et petit jardin
- Alosiyas (10/5): A Cozy Home Away from Home in Arugam Bay - 20 House Arugam is a perfect hideaway for solo travelers and couples looking for peace, comfort, and adventure. The atmosphere is incredibly calm and cozy—you instantly feel at home from the moment you step in. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the shared spaces like the kitchen and outdoor area are superbly maintained and ideal for relaxing or socializing. Located just a few minutes from both Arugam Bay and Pottuvil, the villa is in the perfect spot to explore the area. Whether you're into surfing, sightseeing, or just chilling by the beach, everything is close by. With the help of the wonderful owners, we were able to go on some amazing adventures, including a lagoon safari, Kumana National Park safari, and even a trip to the stunning Crocodile Lake. All the beaches nearby are breathtaking—great for long walks, surf sessions, or just watching the sunset. You can even rent a scooter easily, which makes exploring the entire area super fun and convenient. What truly makes 20 House Arugam special is the incredible hospitality of the owners. They are some of the kindest, most welcoming people you’ll meet, always ready to help and make your stay comfortable. It’s more than just a place to sleep—it’s a place where you feel genuinely cared for. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the best of Arugam Bay in a peaceful and friendly setting!

- Romane (8/5): Very good -
- Charith (5/5): Passable -
- Luke (10/5): Exceptional - Really good value for money. Double bed, kitchen, free water and the fan was more than enough. Little bit out from Arugam so was a lot more quiet and relaxing but not too far that you'd miss anything. Riswan was a very friendly host too!

- Yannick (7/5): Friendly Host - Very easy hostel, close to Pottuvil and Arugam Bay. Host speaks perfectly English and could help with the bus connections. Bathroom was not very hygienic and the beds were not really comfortable.
- Rafael (5/5): Passable - - The family that runs the property is nice and helpful. - There is a kitchen where you can cook. - Wifi was decent. - Room was small, had one window to the common area of the house. - Huge fan that made a lot of noise and couldn't be regulated (only on/off). (We stayed in the cheapest room)

- Natashanti (9/5): Superb - I liked my stay at 20 house Arugam. It's worth its value, the owners are really nice and friendly people. There's a shop right in front of the house, a fridge in the kitchen, drinking water and possibility to cook. Just a two minutes walk to the ocean. I booked a room without an AC and it was a bit hot but there was a fan to cool me down. Otherwise I really enjoyed my stay.
- Kavishka (10/5): Exceptional -
- Isadora (10/5): Amazing owners!! - We loved the place, the owners are beautiful people providing all sort of services but more important even, they provide very useful information about services in town and average price for them. Super helpful when it comes to bargaining with locals. Ideal place if you look for a quiet holiday as it is close enough to walk to the lively places but located in a quiet local area.
