I stayed two nights at BG. I was given a room squeezed between the toilets and restaurant. The room door handle was broken and they wouldnt repair it. The toilet had to be opened and flushed manually. The windows blocked the way to the restaurant toilets, so the manager kept closing them even while I was in the room. The... More

Totally overpriced, but a fabulous setting (right on the beach) with great view. Friendly staff. Beds are extra length. Beers are cold. Rooms are dull, minimalistic, drab, dark and depressing (small windows). No facilities. Food is unimaginative, basic and only item worth mentioning is the prawns. Room rate is DB&B, so you have no choice but to eat there since... More

Stayed here with friends over the New Year period. Had a great time. Rooms clean and comfortable although from reading other reviews I would ask to be located in the main building (stairs up from the side of reception) as I think these are better. We did lose power (and unfortunately water as we were on the top floor which... More

Nice cheapish hotel in a beautiful location. Beach just a few feet away. The food is excellent but the rooms and bathrooms could be better. There is no TV and the bathroom has a concrete floor with an open shower that drains to a hole in the corner. Rooms have Air Con. Staff and owners really nice. This is a... More

We stayed two nights at this hotel close to the beach. Rooms are clean, view is nice and food is quite good. But be careful.. Firstly, they tried to increase room rates even if wehad agreed of a price by phone one day before Then for breakfast, they wanted to give us just a cup of tea whereas in the... More

we were there for about five days in August 2011. It was clean, beautiful and cheap (by Sri Lankan standards). we had a room right by the beach where the sea water came up to our porch. in the day time, there was hot water (because they use a solar heater). the location of this place is a definite plus...

We were here during the low season, so there were not many guests. The staff used this quiet period for hotel repairs, cleaning and painting. While doing so, the service to us (from breakfast on the beach to lunch on the beach beds, an occasional beer and sometimes dinner) remained excellent! The guys who work here are really fun and...
