“Great location.”
We had a fantastic stay at The Jam House. All the staff were super friendly and helpful the whole time. Location is fab as it is just a short 10-15 minute walk into the main town of Ahangama, but it is nice to be a little bit out of the busy part of town. The hotel is set back from the road so it isn’t noisy from the buses & tuk tuks. Would really recommend and would stay again if I visit Ahangama. We were a group of 5 who were spending the week surfing, Pilates & chilling. It was the perfect base for us to do all of those things.

Nothing really. Location wasn't too bad but it's pretty much on the end of the main Ahangama strip

“Super comfortable stay at the Jam House!”
What a great hotel! The room was big and the balcony was a perfect bonus. The SPA in the 3rd floor is the best I ever tried. There are cozy cafe for food across the road (ex Hakuna Matata). The staff were super friendly and everything was clean and professional. Highly reccomended!

Our stay at The Jam House Ahangama was absolutely beautiful. The property has a calm, boutique vibe, and the staff were warm, attentive, and made us feel very comfortable throughout. The rooms were spacious, spotless, and well maintained, and the pool area was perfect for relaxing. We had a partial beach view which added to the overall experience. The location is great walking distance from Hidden Beach and about 10 minutes from the main beach, with easy access via tuk-tuks or scooter rentals. Despite being close to everything, it’s peaceful and quiet, making it ideal for a relaxing stay. Would also highly recommend the spa it was excellent. Overall, a great place to stay in Ahangama and we would definitely visit again.

“Affordable, friendly, safe & clean!”
We had a fantastic 6 night stay at The Jam House. The rooms were incredibly spacious with a lovely balcony - and they were cleaned to a very high standard with modern finishes and everything you need. The location is perfect, with a 2-3min Tuk Tuk - which you can grab off the road - it was very easy to get into Ahangama, making trips out for lunch and dinner very very easy. But, most importantly the service is FANTASTIC. I believe the owner is called Mira and she made the stay perfect. Speaking to us everyday; giving advice on places to go and ensuring we always had enough drinks in the room. If you’re looking for a very affordable place that is high quality and well located - Jam House is perfect. If we ever come back to Sri Lanka - we will most certainly stay here again. THANK YOU for an amazing stay ❤️

“Would we stay again? Unlikely unless the prices dropped considerably.”
Miriyam, the manager, was exceptionally friendly, and was attentive in having the drain blockage fixed promptly. Lahiru is a coffee connoisseur who made some of the best coffees we had while in Sri Lanka. All the other staff were helpful, friendly and overall, we had a pleasant stay.

“Beautiful rooms but details could be improved.”
The room was so beautiful and the hotel is in a great location for town, either a walk or a short tuk tuk to the main restaurants / bars. The pool area is also a nice bonus.

“Luxurious stay for the price”
We had a fabulous stay at Jam House- the property looked exactly like the photos, AC was divine, bed was super comfy and WiFi worked well in the rooms and in the downstairs working area. The pool was also lovely, and we enjoyed spending the afternoons lounging around that area, watching the monkeys and bird life in the garden. The staff went above and beyond at every opportunity to make you feel welcome, ensure you enjoyed your stay and help wherever they could. We thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast- it was À la Carte with both western and Sri Lankan options. Lastly, the location was good- across the road from Ahangama Beach (however it’s a little tricky to swim there) but is only a 5-10 min walk to secret beach which is lovely for swimming. The town is a bit away but there are many restaurants in 5-10 mins walking distance.
