Lovely tranquil hotel with a nice clean pool. Just what we needed to wind down after a hectic week of surfing and partying in weligama. The bed was very comfortable and we also had a balcony. I feel we were well lokked 😍

Absolutely amazing stay at Surf Lodge! We felt so welcomed from the moment we arrived. The food at the cafe is so delicious and the staff were extremely friendly! We had unforgettable couple of days and felt like we are at home! You can access the beach from the beautiful garden, there was a yoga class in the morning and also if you would like some other activities just ask the staff! The rooms were very comfortable and the bathroom that was outside was a great experience :) Definitely recommend the place and can’t wait to come back again! Thank you!

Extremely friendly host and stuff. Located directly at black sands beach. Coming here for surfing, swell check from the bed was possible. Food was very tasty. Still a rather quiet and peaceful spot.

Great view. Good surf for intermediate/ beginner. Clean beach about 1 km long. Not as touristy as some beaches. Ate the Sri Lankan breakfast and dinner and the curries were some of the best we have had. Generous servings too. Our room was large and the bed comfortable. Sitting on the balcony in the comfortable chairs was lovely. Would book again.

We book villa in ahangama but it not nice likely found Morning star ♥️♥️New, spacious, two-story villa. The place is quiet, but not remote, there is a large supermarket and transport nearby. 5 bedrooms, shared kitchen and living room. Designer interior, lots of wood, paintings, statues. Bathrooms with good plumbing, but hot water does not come right away - you have to wait. Excellent pool, clean, water is filtered normally. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking and serving, the owners offer to cook breakfast at any time convenient for you.. I liked the villa! Nice place!

Amazing location, right on the beach. Fantastic surf all day long! Staff is super super friendly and they serve an excellent dinner and breakfast at the beach. Also the room was very clean and comfortable. Don’t look any further, this was our favorite guesthouse in Sri Lanka.

Perfect beach hotel! A little off the main road as the name suggests and 24 steps down to the beach from the grounds. All the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Room and bathroom were clean and had a fridge, safe and mosquito nets. Breakfast was simple but yummy overlooking the Ocean and beach. Surf boards for hire and a pretty private beach to enjoy!

We loved staying right on the beach and being able to watch the turtles from our balcony. The restaurant was great, there was loads of choice and for a good price. The staff, especially the owner were extremely friendly and helpful. The location was good, walking distance to Madiha surf break (10 minutes) and Polhena beach and lots of restaurants.
