The location was great. If you don't want to stay in crowded Arugambay this is the right place for you. You have your own pirvate beach, a little cabana, good food at the restaurant and it is the cleanest hotel we have been in Sri Lanka.

It was great stay at star rest beach hotel .the hos (Owner) Abdullah was a superb guy .he is professional surfing trainer. He took me to peanut parm and crocodile rock. When I lost my way he quickly came and pick me up from the beach. The hotel location was great because very quiet place and helpful staff. The hotel itself had a place to eat and make your own food. The room was very clean and WiFi was excellent.

The female dorm was spacious and very clean. The beds were comfy. Location was great! And the pool and garden is very beautiful. It is very calm at night which was prefect for me. If you look for a more communicative hostel where you can meet other travellers I would advise another one though.

Quiet location just off the main road so could get a peaceful nights sleep, but a 2 minute walk to the bars shops and restaurants and beach. Super friendly helpful staff! Room extremely comfortable and spotless.

We had a wonderful stay at Hakuna Matata. Billy and his family were so welcoming, and the Sri Lankan breakfasts cooked by Billy’s mother were delicious. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, with a lovely front patio/balcony area too, and lots of hammocks and sitting spots throughout the property. Location is ideal - one minute from the beach, and one minute to the main road in town. Thank you!
