Hostels in Weerawila

Very friendly staff, clean and comfy bed. The hostel is close to the supermarket, cafe just 5 mins walking distance. dormitory room have fan but no air-conditioning, it's still OK to sleep at night.

I loved this place. It is a bit 'in the wild' but that is the beauty of it - it is right next to the park and there are lots of animals (especially birds) to see. The owner was very friendly and arranged pick-up for me and bought some curd and treacle to try. He also played pool with me (yes, there is a large and well kept pool table there.) As it was quiet when I was there he kindly gave me a better room for the same price. He also owns riverside cabanas which I recommend staying at.# Nearby is a beautiful beach that looks prehistoric and you can walk along the sand dunes.

I had a memorable stay at the Funky Leopard Safari Lodge. The location is great and the ambience right in the heart of nature is heartwarming. The staff is so friendly and attentive. I was welcomed by Anton with a big smile and felt at home immediately. He was kind and very prompt, attending to my meals, reminding me of the times (😊). The food was well made and delicious. I had the privilege of having dinner at the campsite, by a bonfire. Timirah is a very kind and professional waiter with a perfect sense of timing. I also did a safari in Yala as a solo traveler and was lucky to have Vimansha as my guide. He was kind, attentive and very knowledgeable, which made me feel safe and well cared for throughout the experience. He shared fascinating insights about the park and its wildlife, turning the trip into something truly memorable. Highly recommend him if you want a meaningful safari, not just a drive through the park. Speaking of driving, Geeth was a very skilled driver who did everything to his em reach to make me feel safe and comfortable. I highly recommend this lodge and would love to come back. I took the night walk around the premises, which was wonderfully guided with high respect for all species. Thank you.

I had an absolutely delightful stay at Hamba Hostel for Safari! The room was impeccably clean and provided a serene and calming atmosphere that was just what I needed for a relaxing getaway. The proximity to the beach was a huge plus, allowing me to enjoy the soothing sound of the waves throughout my stay. The staff members were incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to assist with a warm smile. One of the highlights of my trip was the Yala safari organized by the hotel. The experience was truly unforgettable, and the convenience of having it arranged by the hostel made the adventure even more enjoyable. Additionally, the food offered at the hostel was beyond delicious, satisfying my taste buds with a variety of delectable dishes. Overall, I can't speak highly enough of Hamba Hostel for Safari. It's the perfect blend of comfort, tranquility, beachside charm, attentive staff, exciting safari opportunities, and mouthwatering cuisine. My stay was an absolute delight, and I can't wait to return for another unforgettable experience!
