Gypcey Home

Great place to stay in Arugam Bay, close to everything but far enough to be nice and quiet. The rooms are so comfortable and thoughtfully appointed, the A/C works well and is quiet, the garden is a lovely little oasis, the kitchen was really great to have especially for making smoothies, and the team is so helpful and easygoing. I really loved staying here, first for two nights and ultimately for a week. Highly recommended!

Tout était parfait! Le logement, la propreté, le personnel, on se sent bien dans cet endroit. Le petit déjeuner est excellent! Le personnel nous a beaucoup aidé pour la suite de notre itinéraire, merci pour tout.

Just three rooms each with a bedroom, bathroom and lounge area. The bedroom was comfy with good AC. Immediately outside the front door is a small stoop where you can sit overlooking the sandy path which is lined with a few plants. There is a shared outdoor kitchen (simple facility with kettle, fridge, gas ring) together with a seating area. Gypcey Home is located on an unmade dirt road around 5 minutes walk to the main Arugam Bay road and 15 mins to Baby Point surf area. We enjoyed the beaches and Arugam Bay town. We can recommend Mamas Restaurant.

Très bon accueil, propreté, climatisation neuve, grand lit, emplacement

Heerlijk ruime kamers, slaap - en woonkamer. goede airco in de slaapkamers. Goed bed. Goede douche handdoeken ! Lekker groot en zacht . En weden na 2 dagen gewisseld. Weer lief en attent personeel !

We loved our stay at Gypcey home. We originally booked for 2 nights but ended up staying 5! The property was super clean, the rooms were lovely and spacious and it is in a prime location for accessing restaurants and the beach. Musa and his friends take great care of the property and its guests and helped us organise surf lessons, rides around town and were a great friendly face to have throughout our stay. Would recommend to anyone that they stay here in Arugam bay.

While the rooms are private, the courtyard is shared, as is the outside lounge and kitchen, so there is a lot of opportunity to meet your fellow travellers if you so wish. Not so much privacy, but with the beach walking distance away, and heaps of eateries and shops around the corner, you're not likely to be lounging off anyway. The decor is really charming and the courtyard pretty. Water is provided, and the use of the kitchen was a wonderful change from eating out all the time. Blender was our fav!

Gypcey home is a cute little place. It has a few rooms that surround a nice courtyard and communal area which has a pleasant vibe. A quick walk from main street but also quietly tucked away enough to be quiet.

We felt completely at home in this place! Everything was super clean and well taken care of. The breakfast was different every day, freshly prepared and always delicious – definitely a highlight of our stay. What really made it special were the lovely guys working there: incredibly kind, always friendly, helpful, and full of great tips for things to do, places to eat, and local info. They were always happy to chat and made us feel truly welcome. We’d come back anytime – highly recommended!

Clean room and wonderful staff.
I had an injury and felt unwell during my trip, but Musa, one of the staff members, was always concerned about me. He arranged hospital visits and even prepared breakfast to suit my condition.
I highly recommend this place.

We love this place so much. This was our second time staying here. We had stayed last year and we were delighted there was availability for our dates this year. The room is great. Clean and spacious, and cool (much needed in Arugam Bay). The place is a short walking distance from the main street but is just far enough away from the bustle and noise, and remains quiet and peaceful (rare in Arugam Bay!). The caretaker Musa is a true gem. I love the communal kitchen area. We really feel at home here and will always choose Gypcey when visiting Arugam Bay. Thanks again to the Gypcey team! Book as far as you can in advance here because there are only a few rooms and it gets booked up quickly - as it should.

Nice and helpful host, good coffee and nice hangout area

Kind staff, big space and comfortable

Very spacious and clean rooms, perfect Location near Cafés/ Restaurants and the Beach. Special thanks to Musa, he supported us and made every wish come true for us :). We will come back one day!

Clean, spacious and calm, pleasant place, near the main road where you can find restaurants. Musa is a great host, he has advice on places to eat and visit. We appreciate his help when we needed to rent a scooter.

The location of Gypcey Home is nice in a quiet area and the shared space is super cozy. The rooms are basic, but a super good value for money!
Musa prepared us a nice breakfast in de mornings.
