Faisal is a legend, great local knowledge and just a wonderful human being. Accommodation is great for the price, breakfast was always delicious. The hummus is the best in Sri Lanka!!

Iain Australia

A great little property for the price. Owner so smiley, helpful and man, the food!!!! He made us endless cups of tea, arranged our laundry and it felt like we were at home - thank you so much Faisal. Close to shops and the beach, would definitely stay again

Peta Australia

Very nice owner, very nice atmosphere! Very early checkout possible.

Philippschuo Germany

I was in Sri Lanka for five and a half weeks and saw most of the country. Bavaria Resort was the best accommodation I have had during the whole trip. The room was the cleanest and most comfortable I have had during my stay. It was silent but still very close to the beach and main street. The biggest plus about the space is the owner and staff working there. Faisal was the nicest host I have met in Sri Lanka. He also was always there to help and very easygoing without being in your face constantly. After spending some time in the country and meeting different hosts I can also say that Faisal was the most honest of them all. If you have a question be assured that you get an honest answer. Rather than giving you and advice good for his business he would give you a tip good for you. This I have experienced rarely while travelling the country. It was incredibly helpful, nice, and unselfish. I would recommend the place 100% and will come back when in Arugam. :)

Glenn Germany

Perfect location! Quite and not so far from the beach!

Stanislav Russia

Very friendly host! The Sri Lankan breakfast was very tasty and more than enough.

Ellen Germany

We have stayed at 3 different places in Arugam Bay and this was the best. Clean, comfortable rooms with instant hot water and new AC units. Hammocks to relax in. Faizel the owner is extraordinarily helpful and friendly. Breakfast is about 350 rupees and is pretty good. His special dinner of hummus, falafel and salad is amazing, the best we’ve had. It is down a side street but only a few minutes until you’re in the action or the water while being very peaceful. Couldn’t recommend enough.

Mitch Australia

Everything was just great. The owner is super nice, the place is beautiful and clean, they can offer you all kind of safaris and activities... a very good place to stay in Arugam Bay.

Jannes Spain

The place was sparkling clean and the AC was working perfectly. In front of the room there is a little sitting area with a hammock. The owner Faisal helped us with organizing surf lessons and tuk tuk tours. We really enjoyed our stay and even stayed longer than originally planned. In our booking the breakfast was not included, but it was very affordable and tasty.

Imre Germany

Our host was a real gem. He provided us with hot water every morning and snacks here and there (we did not order breakfast) because he is just amazing like that. His team is also very lovely, always trying to keep everything clean and always smiling. We would 100% recommend staying there! Although get the AC room because it gets very hot and keeping the door open when it gets dark just brings many mosquitoes in your room :-)
