I booked 3 nights here in the 4beds shared room, but in the end I couldn't stay at the hostel because of a mistake that I made. The owner was super cool about that and even helped me to sort out my situation and invited me for a chat and some tea. He is the sweetest person and has a lot of advice to offer. I recommend this hostel to everyone, especially solo travelers, cause there is a very social atmosphere. Thanks again my friend, I wish you and your family all the best

Wow wow wow!! The owner Kasun and the whole family were so kind and friendly. I left my earphones at the hostel and I only had about 10 minutes until my train arrived, not only did he drop me there at the station but also came back again to bring my earphones at a short notice. This stay was wonderful, peaceful and sociable. Breakfast was amazing and beds were comfy. Favourite hostel in Sri Lanka!!

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.
