Hostels in Arugam Bay

I loved absolutely everything especially how modern this place is, I even extended my stay. Such a good vibe here! Definitely the BEST accommodation in Arugambay! A NEW boutique style accommodation, with beautiful bright private rooms and dorm rooms. Exceptionally CLEAN, spacious, very comfortable beds, lockers and great AC. Private rooms are modern en-suite, whereas the dorm room has spacious modern westernised showers and separate toilets, which you can enter from both inside and outside the dorm room. A new open-air and spacious fully-equipped kitchen with everything such as smoothie blenders, free tea & coffee, fridge, stove etc. Up-top a perfect terrace to chill on/ have a beer, for digital no-nomad work or use this space to do some yoga, even more beautiful at night all lit up, quiet & peaceful. The property is cool, so whether hanging out here on a hot or rainy day, it’s enjoyable! Outdoor shower in the garden to rinse off after a surf. Excellent WIFI throughout, and great shower pressure with moderate water temperature. The open-aired lounge by the kitchen leads onto the garden at the entrance of the property where you can leave your bicycle/ motorbike, just as you see in the photos. The ultimate is having the surfing beach located less than a 1 minute walk from this accommodation, with all the tourist shops & restaurants around. Literally the PERFECT location! You can rent motorbikes/ bicycles from across the road, and both the neighbouring villages are less than a 5 minute cycle in either direction, surrounded by rice paddies and tons of nature & wildlife. You can cycle, ride, take a tuk-tuk or walk to surrounding beaches. Excellent hospitality! The kindest hosts/owner who are there for whatever you need 24 hrs, and the rates are beyond value for money. Come stay here at The Wave Rooms & Hostel, trust me you will be so happy you did! Thank you Rinas for such a wonderful 2 weeks stay. Can’t wait to return :)

I liked this hostel because it jas a great vibe and is close to the beach (2 min walk) It has a few private rooms and one dorm so its not the biggest, which i like. The room is only with single beds and is quite big. There is free waterrefil and the restaurant (buddies cafe) is a nice place to just have a chill or get some amazing food! The people are also very nice and will help you all they can. I stayed here 4 nights!

Had a great time with dreamy, Also the location is very close to main road. The staff are so kind and high recommended

It had only just opened its doors and we were met with the warmest welcome from the manager who couldn’t do enough for us. Always went out of his way to accommodate us - sharing extra phone data with us, allowing late check - out due to work commitments, updating us to the air-con room because the fan room was under renovations but with no extra charge. We really enjoyed our stay, thank you so so much

A superb inn, clean and well-maintained. The garden is very pleasant and the breakfasts are delicious. The best part: the staff. They're all adorable, smiling and warm. If I come back to arugam bay I'll choose Early Birds without hesitation.

The best beach view hostel in Arugam Bay. Direct sea view room with balcony and hammock. Friendly staff and quick services. Wonderful restaurant services and you provided tasty foods (Breakfast, Juices, Dinner). The welcome drink was delicious. Good speed WiFi connection. Clean and comfortable bedroom and bathroom. Comfy bed. We used bathroom toilet paper and soap. Nice location and Value for the stay.

The hostel I stayed at was fantastic, from the friendly vibe to the wonderful people and everything in between!

This is the best surf hostel i've ever stayed in after trying so many, it's super clean and the people are very friendly also just a pass to the other side of the street to the beach. wouldn't recommend anywhere else. Value for money is 10/10

Great location, clean, and social. Ask David for anything before you look elsewhere - he does surf lessons, scooter hire, laundry etc. all for really good prices.
