Hakuna matata is like a second home, you don’t feel like in a guesthouse but rather with a second family. Billie - the host - is amazingly helpful and organises tons of cool activities for the guests (e.g. lagoon tour, jungle safari, barbecue nights). Mama prepares delicious and always different breakfasts every day at every hour to accomodate your (surfing) schedules. The place is surrounded by plants and trees which make it even more laidback. Will definitely come back. For surfers, it’s a 20m walk to main point.

Great place for a long stay. 1 min from the beach, 1 min to the street with all restaurants and bars. Very reasonable price, nice rooms with ac and very friendly owner who were always really helpful and kind.

Nina Ryssland

Great location just steps away from the beach and main attractions; bright, clean and well decorated rooms; amazing staff always ready to assist with anything you may need during your stay. Overall, amazing place and highly recommended!

Denis Ryssland

It is a new villa and we were the first guests. Everything was clean and new. Best location for relaxing far away from crowded places.

Pauline Frankrike

The staff is the nicest, they do everything to make your stay easy and nice. The room has everything you need. The breakfast is good. I would come again!

Great location close to Main Street and the beach which is very helpful as getting tuk tuk out of the main area can be somewhat overwhelming. Quiet area close to amazing cafe (Shady Lane) and dinner spot (Emily’s). Theepan is very accomodating, helpful and welcoming - always responded promptly to any requests. Couldn’t recommend Hilltop House enough!

Such lovely cabanas and perfect location! We loved our time at Starfish, the host was super accommodating and helped us with everything from making sure I had a desk to work at to sorting out some TukTuk troubles. The grounds are beautiful with lush green plants and some hammocks to chill in. You’re a super short walk to the beach and town but still off the road enough for it to be quiet. Loved it and definitely recommend!

Noam Israel

Great place, best location just next to the beach and the main street. Alan is a great host and an amazing person, he helped us greatly and with good spirit. We’re definitely coming back!

We loved staying at the Jungle House! The room and the bathroom were very clean and beds were made almost every day. Bins were also emptied. The guesthouse has a very nice and aesthetic vibe and Laura is an amazing host! She was always happy to help us with questions and recommendations for the area. She also sells big (18 L) bottles of water for a good price (800 LKR) which was very convenient! The Jungle House is about 200m away from the main road, thus a little more quiet, but you can still walk everywhere. The room also came with a little kitchenette and kettle on the balcony and a fridge in the room. After having done extensive research on where to stay in ABay, we can confidently say that we found the best place! The cute cats living on the property are the cherry on the cake!
