During my stay at New Amadeo Beach, I was thoroughly impressed by the exceptional hospitality showcased by their staff. Their kindness and friendliness created a welcoming atmosphere, making every guest feel valued and respected, regardless of whether they were locals or foreigners. As a local tourist, I appreciated being treated with the same warmth and consideration as international visitors. This inclusive approach truly made my experience memorable, and I highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking genuine hospitality

The location is perfect. It's just 1 min walk to busstop, beach and ATMs. They have mosquito net as well. I was there for the new year, so the owner offered me the traditional breakfast (homemade). I enjoyed my stay there.

I stayed at Tipsy Ceylon for one night and really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. It's a perfect spot if you're looking for a quiet and calm place by the sea. There's a nice restaurant right next to it, and they prepared a delicious breakfast for me in the morning. The hosts were lovely, and they have two adorable dogs that made the place feel even more welcoming. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to relax and unwind in a serene setting.

The location was sublime, very close to the fort and the central bus stand. All the amenities were provided, everything was very clean, and all the support from the staff was very efficient. It was a very pleasant stay. The food was an amazing addition as well to the vibe of the bar connected to Snooze station. I will only be coming back here for my future stays in Galle!!

You wouldn't expect more comfortability and relaxation than this in a hostel. Everything in this hostel had above the hostels' standard, it's more like a villa atmosphere. Garden was very diversified with full of trees and plants, especially the coconut trees. Host offered me a coconut drink as well when I just arrived, he was very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the garden and breathed clean air which was a great bonus. Good homemade food. Thank you for everything !

Come in and immediately relax! What a nice place with really nice and cool people running it. Very nice and helpful, rooms and spaces to sit and chill integrated in a garden close to nature. Everything seems to be self made with lots of heart and good ideas, great value for the price everyone can afford. If you want marble bath tubs you should look elsewhere, but for this you need to pay 100x as much per night. If you want to stay nice, cozy and affordable in best company, good music (maybe nothing for old people) and folks that don't want to squeeze Rupees out of everything and actually give you something for free if you ask nice. Asked for the Bodyboard just for an hour and they didn't bother to calculate down their. Normal rate for a day or 1/2 of it. Really nice and not normal. In Bentota they asked 5$ for an hour! I slept very well for nights for that money. Didn't had food but I'm sure it's the bomb. Very close to Galle and Hikkaduwa. Bus to Colombo is catched almost right in front of the place as well. The shared bathrooms outside are also very well made and it's fun to take a shower there. Thanks a lot guys and see you again!

All hostels in Hikkaduwa

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.
