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 host was very hospitable. The place was squeaky clean. It was my first time being at a hostel, and I did not bring a padlock with me. The owner was kind enough to lend me one. The breakfast was exceptional as well. They served us authentic Sri Lankan string hoppers along with a couple sides like coconut sambol (I think), daal curry, chickpeas and eggs. I recommend the place.

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.
