I had an awesome stay at Hanng because it's clean, well-maintained, and super social, in a prime location. Literally a 1-minute walk to the surf beach or a supermarket. (Priorities, right?). The crew isn’t just helpful; they actually join in on the fun, making the whole experience even better in Weligama! Huge thanks to everyone! Emily, your barista-level coffees are dangerously good. Irene, your yoga sessions leave people raving all day with a big smile. Tesh and Harshit, you’re absolute gems—your local knowledge is impressive, and if you don’t know something, you’ll figure it out in no time!" I couldn’t name everyone, but what I do know is that the whole team is friendly, communication is smooth, and the reason I and so many others keep extending, is simple—we feel at home! Cheers!

Situated in Mirissa, 600 metres from Mirissa Beach, The Hostel features accommodation with a terrace, free private parking and a restaurant. Among the facilities at this property are room service and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. It's clean and rooms are AC'd and spacious. I very much appreciate big, lockable storage room under every bed. Nice and clean toaletts and showers. Coworking space is extra 2250. But the internet is really fast, no power outages and 2 americanos are included per day

At the hostel, every room is fitted with a balcony with a garden view. Featuring a private bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer, certain units at JIB Hostel RestoBar also provide guests with a terrace. All units include a safety deposit box. JIB Hostel stands out as one of the most welcoming, accommodating, and comfortable hostels I have ever stayed. The owner, Jiny, was exceptionally helpful, providing valuable insights about Weligama. Her warm hospitality made me feel at ease as a newcomer to the area. The dormitory is spacious, and my bed was both clean and comfortable, offering ample room for all guests. The bathrooms are also large and well-equipped with necessary amenities. A notable feature of JIB Hostel is its restaurant, which serves a delightful array of Asian fusion dishes, including Korean, Thai, and Japanese cuisine, making it easy to find satisfying meal options. My stay at JIB Hostel was truly enjoyable, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to others.
