This place has such an amazing atmosphere. The staff is incredibly friendly, and everyone is having such a good time everywhere, you literally don't need to leave the hostel to have fun. It is very close to the beach, which is not crowded at all. The free vegan dinners 3 days a week are also amazing, so was the karaoke night!

The vibe was very good. The staff is very friendly and willing to help with anything. The food was also delicious. The quality-price ratio was worth it. The location is quite close to where you need to change your license to drive on your own in Sri Lanka and you also have car rental locations quite close.

Excellent hostel, with a great restaurant serving all day breakfast, lunch and dinner. We stayed in a private room and a dorm on two visits. The rooms are exceptionally clean, with cool AC and hot and powerful showers. Top quality facilities. The food is sublime, I had the egg kotu and ice cream, on both visits. The portion sizes are generous and the prices very sensible. I found the whole process very relaxing! I recommend this place without any hesitation. Please do message ahead if you are arriving late so that the staff can wait up for you. They don't always reply to WhatsApp so it's best to call ahead.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

The staff of the hostel was super friendly and helpful, extremely nice people. I was in a dorm but I had the room for myself. It has AC and it is super clean. The rooms are big, comfy and renovated. Breakfast was also included, it's a super good deal for the price!

If you are a seasoned backpacker, you will appreciate this hostel. If not, you may find it basic. But the staff were incredible, so helpful and lovely. No hot water but you don’t really need it with the temperatures.

Maria is an excellent host and always ready to help. The hostel is located really near to the beach and has good rooms. The common area specially the roof top is really pretty. You can stay here if you want to meet new people and have some fun parties.
