The room was very spacious and cosy. There was quite a large fridge, good for cooling water (even 5L bottles). The hotel is close to a nice beach and within walking distance of the tourist centre. There is a shop and very good restaurants nearby.

Location: The location is ideal.It's situated just a few hundred meters away from the main road (Potuvil - Panama) and the beach, giving you the best of both worlds. You get easy access to all the main surf points and town amenities, but you're far enough away to enjoy complete peace and quiet. It's the perfect tranquil escape after a day in the sun. The Room & Amenities: The room was fantastic—very spacious,spotlessly clean, and designed with comfort in mind. It was equipped with all the required amenities, and everything was in great working order. It truly felt like a home away from home. Overall Experience: I can't fault this place.For the comfort, space, and serene atmosphere, it offers incredible value. I would gladly give it a perfect 10 out of 10 for the room and overall experience. It’s a gem that provides a quiet, convenient, and comfortable base for your Arugam Bay adventures. I will definitely be returning on my next trip!

We loved our stay here. Apple, the host, is amazing and recommended a great surf lesson for us. The room was spacious and clean, with good air con and wifi. Outdoor shower was handy for rinsing sand off after the beach. Breakfast was delicious and was different every day.

We had the most amazing 11 nights at Upali and wish we didn’t have to leave! The wonderful staff are so kind, welcoming and helpful with everything - they definitely make the place what it is. A big thank you to Nilu and Anujen!! The location is incredible and we think the best you can get in Arugum, right in front of the main surf break and a 10 min walk into town. We loved being a little away from the busy town! We stayed in two different bungalows and both were beautiful. One was a little larger which was nice and the other looked directly out to the surf which was also amazing!! All of the bungalows are steps away to the ocean and surrounded by palm trees. Thank you so much, we can’t wait to come back!!

Was a bit sceptical about the place because of a very few reviews, but they are newly open and it's a really good place to stay in Arugambay. Booked 1 night, but stayed for 2 more. The place is near main street, but not too close so it's not too noisy. The room I had is basic, but with everything you need for a short or longer stay. They even allow you to use their kitchen to keep and cook food if you like to. Breakfast is common Sri Lankan dishes, but is tasty and plentiful. Guys working here are cool and will help you with anything you need. Enjoyed my stay!

    I loved the location of this guesthouse, the quieter and more peaceful edge of town, close to the beach and great places to eat. The owner was really helpful and accommodating also
