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!

We absolutely loved it. The guy from the staff who took care of us was very thoughtful and made sure we had everything we needed at all times. The breakfast is absolutely delicious, with the views on the beach and turtles peaking their heads, what else could you wish for??

We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend! It is a beautiful little beach used mostly by locals where you can go swimming (and also a little bit of snorkelling). The room is one of the best we had during our one month in sri lanka - everything nice, clean, thoughtful and the sea view is a big plus. Also the restaurant owned by the brother is super nice and chilled with various options to hang out (hammocks and so one). We would definitely come back to this little paradise

Extremely clean and well maintained property, right next to the ocean. Pool is simply amazing. There are limited rooms so a very peaceful stay. Our host was very helpful and even suggested us a few places to visit around. All in all a superb experience.

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.
