Located in Hiriketiya and within 2 km of Hiriketiya Beach, Bappa's Place features a garden, non-smoking rooms, and free WiFi throughout the property. The property is around 5.8 km from Hummanaya Blow Hole, 19 km from Weherahena Buddhist Temple and 40 km from Kushtarajagala. Tangalle Lagoon is 15 km away and Mulkirigala Rock Monastery is 16 km from the hostel. Just everything! This is a brand new hostel and they thought about everything a traveller needs to make themselves comfortable. The beds, the showers, the lounge area, the amazingly well equipped kitchen (literally everything is in there and it’s all clean and easy to use, I want a kitchen like that at home seriously!). And the staff, they are so sweet and go out of their way to make you feel at home. The location is perfect, you will be in the ocean by 6 am because it’s so close. The hostel doesn’t organize activities (yet) but the setup of the hostel is made to make socializing very easy. We ended up having dinner with all the guests almost every night. So don’t hesitate, book it!

The dorms and bathrooms were really clean, and it was nice having curtains on the beds for a bit of privacy. The staff were super friendly and always ready to help. We met some awesome people and had a lot of fun hanging out and playing games in the common area. Really glad we stayed here!
