I already rated this place once and this was definitely the best place I've been in sri lanka, felt like home. Everything's new, clean, organized and peaceful. The bathroom is big, clean and awesome. The room is also big, with an awesome bed and the ac is so good in the hot southern area. They have a kitchen with things you can use to eat and make your good :) Wifi is also amazing there.

The location and the building is great and look really nice. It’s quite but you can walk in a few minutes to the busy street in Ahangama. Everything was super clean! I think I have never seen such clean shared bathrooms before in a hostel. Also there are yoga classes nearly every day which are announced on there instagram I suggest you check their account if you are interested in that.

I had a great time at this hostel. It's a chilled and social vibe, met many nice people and stayed for 4 nights at the end. The breakfast was okay (noodles with Dhal Curry). The location is a bit further in the "jungle", but the surrounding of nature is beautiful. Just from my perspective the prizes for the scooter and bicycle rent was a bit too high (compared to thei conditions of the bikes).

I had a very good stay at this hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the room was clean and comfortable with everything I needed for a pleasant stay. The location is convenient, close to Kabalana Beach, which made it easy to get around. Overall, it was a nice experience and good value for the money. I would be happy to stay here again.

A very welcoming and completely renovated property surrounded by greenery, very close to "Jungle Beach," a unique experience that immerses you in the true culture of Sri Lanka. Although the hostel is not currently on Google Maps, and therefore difficult to find, there is a Tuc Tuc service offered by the host who will take you from the first hostel, "Oops," to "Hanuman Heights"! Very nice! Definitely an experience to try at least once in your life.

It is a good place to rest, pass by a tuk tuk if you want to go to the beach or you can get there on foot in about 15 minutes.
