Comfy beds and aircon - battle it out at table tennis and plenty of eateries around.

People were lovely and helpful, showing us where a nearby beach is and helping with advice on fuel (rationed at the time), fun table tennis table, book exchange (most in russian) and close to a few eateries! Go up the road beside it as plenty about 1km up there. Beds were comfy with nice linen.

Good rooms, but poor management and rude service It is a real shame to have to write this review because the property itself is actually very good: the rooms were clean and spacious, the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was large and well-maintained. However, the extreme rudeness and total lack of flexibility from the manager ruined our stay. In a place that should prioritize hospitality, this is simply unacceptable. Here are the issues we encountered: 1. Total inconsistency with breakfast hours: Although Booking.com stated breakfast was from 9-11, the welcome message from the property said 9-13, and the blackboard on-site said 8:30-11, the manager treated us with arrogance when we arrived at 11:00 on the first day. He insisted it ended at 10:45, denying the evidence of their own written and verbal instructions. We had to argue just to receive what we had already paid for. 2. Zero flexibility and no refunds: For the second and third day, as we had a diving session and an early transfer, we asked to move our breakfast forward by just 30 minutes or, alternatively, to have a simple "take-away" bag (just two sandwiches). Both requests were coldly rejected. Despite being unable to use the service due to their rigidity, they also refused to refund the breakfast portion of our payment. 3. Petty Management: In a location where tap water is not drinkable, I believe providing at least one bottle of water per day should be the bare minimum for any hospitable stay. Instead, on our final day, the manager left a note on our door demanding 400 Rupees (~1€) for water. There was no "goodbye" or "safe travels"—just a cold demand for a tiny sum of money. Considering we essentially "gifted" the hotel three prepaid breakfasts, the decision to leave a note over 1€ felt incredibly petty and insulting.

Best in Ahangama

The location of the property is brilliant just outside of the busy road, but still in walking distance/ close to popular restaurants and my boyfriend’s favourite part was that the location is right in-front of devils point. The hotel also has an upstairs terrace with is a great to place to chill late afternoon / evening. When we stayed there is a bar downstairs and upstairs on the terrace however these were closed as the original owner has just retook over the hotel and is therefore waiting for a licence to sell alcohol.

Amazing place with the warmest, welcoming staff and the cutest dog. Breakfast is amazing overlooking Zion surf break, which works extremely well! We ended up staying here four weeks with other guests staying even longer.

Very close to the town but a little bit far to walk in the mid day heat! The owner and receptionist were lovely and very friendly. I loved the rooftop terrace too. Very comfortable room and great value for money

I will come back

Came here for a few days with my friend. The location is in between many different spots and just in front of a good one. We were greeted with smiles and the couple owners had a nice conversation with us. Good english also from the stuff, it was nice to have the opportunity to ask for tips. There is a terrace to leave the surfboards, equipment etc with also ping pong table. The rooftop where you have breakfast is AMAZING, looking directly at the spot and Davil Rock. Amazing breakfast too. Rooms clean and nice. Only good vibes

Stunning views and a fabulous lounge area.

Stunning views of the ocean and Devil's Rock Surf point from the roof top bar and lounge area. The roof top has really nice chill areas. Nice Italian food in the restaurant. Very nice breakfast. Spacious bedroom. Very friendly staff. The hotel arranged for a taxi from Colombo airport which worked out very well
