“Stolen Money from employee”

Around €400 went missing from my belongings during my stay, which was pretty big deal. I know it was an employee named Saman, as he was the only person seen on camera entering my room and he moved my personal belongings. However, the owner, Asanka, did not believe my concerns or investigate the matter in a way that satisfied me. Very disappointing experience.

Asanka and the guys are super nice and welcoming, room was clean and the location is perfect. I highly recommend this place.

Very chill and social hostal. The hostal is very close to the beach which is great!

Location is great! You pay the price for what you get.

Nice place, nice Staff

“Friendly and great value, would go back again”

Brilliant very friendly staff, fantastic location, great value for money, great games - the staff play a good game of pool ;) Close to local eateries and beaches, cool wildlife nearby (we saw monkeys, fireflies, and peacocks on the roads closeby), transport and Tuk Tuks everywhere. Fan perfectly able to keep us cool enough to sleep

“Pool and close to the beach”

So, so reasonably priced for a location minutes from the beach with a pool too!!

“Really Nice place”

Good location and very friendly people. We had a private room for a good price and breakfast included, was a really good breakfast!

Peaceful, good vibe

“Best value for money”

Great location. Clean and chilled atmosphere!

The property was located in a good location. Beach was nearby. And local transportation was also easily accessible. The property manager and workers were really nice and helpful !

The best stay I’ve ever had in Sri Lanka! Asanka Surf House is more than just a place to stay—it’s a home away from home. The atmosphere is incredibly social, making it the perfect spot to meet like-minded travelers. Every evening feels like a gathering of friends, with communal dinners, great conversations, and a laid-back vibe. The staff is super friendly and always willing to help, and the surf lessons are top-notch. If you’re looking for a place with great energy, amazing people, and a true surf community feel, this is the place to be. I can’t wait to come back!

“Nice place to meet people but overall very dirty”

It’s a beautiful big property with a lot of potential, but everything was so dirty and the rooms are moldy.
