Guest Reviews
- Erwin (1/5): It was a terrible night, I not even want to sleep in the room because there were a lot of bugs, it smelled bad and it wa - Garnichts Alles! Big scam, dirty & unfriendly
- Methane (10/5): Good for solo travelers and nice cabana on the edge of Arugam Bay - Really recommended for solo travelers, host are very helpful and staff always smiling and welcoming. A nice cabana it was very quiet and relaxed there. Of course could arrange everything. Ansa surf teacher very professional and very kind 🫶 very good place stay to Arugambay here.
- Ross (3/5): - Even for a budget option in Arugum, the facilities are really crappy. I never received a bed sheet or towel. The staff was hardly ever there (and they speak little English) so it was difficult to get questions answered. WiFi never worked and the mosquito net had a fair share of holes in it
- Mohideen pichchai (10/5): Nice place and cool staff - I was enjoyed my stay here becase Nice and clean room staff are very very friendly and helped and secure place .I was higly recommended this place
- Guest (10/5): Excellent Stay From Star Rest Beach Hotel! - Great location, easy to get in and out of the city. The hotel is well-maintained and has a safe and secure environment.
- Guest (10/5): This is the best place in Arugambay for solo travelers - This hotel felt like a natural home away from home. I was so impressed with the level of comfort and attention to detail staff was so friendly and i booked some surf lessons with them it was amazing , My stay was perfect.
- Guest (10/5): Good for female solo travelers 🫶 - Wow amazing place and very helpful staff always helping to me and I used free kitchen and free laundry service. The staff always tcare of me and good for solo female travellers 👍 I was highly recommended to stay this place 🫶
- Giulia (1/5): - Really not recommended for girls traveling alone, one of the host has tried to make me drunk and got extremely touchy against my will I had to run away
- Upul (5/5): Passable -
- Linda (9/5): Delighful week stay. Great location but quiet. Recommend - Close to beach & shops but at the quiet end of the beach so peaceful. Loved the garden lit up by fairy lights at night. Staff are genuine & nice. Wonderful to have use of shared kitchen, especially a fridge & kettle but you can cook here too, I think perhaps the only place in Arugum to have this.
- Fathima (10/5): Great surf camp, would definitely stay again, The hospitality was amazing also - I don't think a day didn't go by where I wasn't offered a coconut while I was hanging out in a hammock or I wasn't delivered a coconut to my room if I was inside taking it easy. Feinas and Ansar were really helpful when it came to organising everything like a safari, adding extra surf lessons, even just great recommendations for places to grab a few drinks. They were very attentive, always asking if I needed anything. The food was absolutely fantastic - delicious and the portion sizes were exactly what you need when surfing. Sulfi was a great instructor, he had great tips but balanced teaching well with just letting you surf.
