Pros:

J'ai été très bien accueilli par l'équipe. Bon petit déjeuner. Le toit-terrasse offre un très bon point de vue sur le lagon et les animaux présents. Proche à pied d'Arugam Bay.

Pros:

Dude, we had a blast with my friends at Rise And Set Arugambay. The place had everything, and the location was awesome – beach views for sunrise and lagoon with mountain views for sunset. Seriously, the sunsets were gorgeous! Plus, it was only a 10-minute walk to the main Arugambay beach, and I slept like a baby compared to the craziness of Arugambay.

I would like booking.com to remove this hotel from you.
Pros:

They said they would only give it to foreigners. But nothing like that was mentioned. I was very helpless.

Cons:

They didn't give me the room I booked.

Not for me
Pros:

The staff was very nice and the rooms were big.

Cons:

I would not stay there again. The backyard was full of trash, so it is not usable. The roof veranda was very, very dirty. So was the communal fridge.
The location isn't that good. You have to walk 10-15 minutes to Arugam bay. You have to walk through the main street. The Lagoon is on the one side of the street , were a lot of garbage has been dumbed.
This hotel is not it's money worth.
