The location and the building is great and look really nice. It’s quite but you can walk in a few minutes to the busy street in Ahangama. Everything was super clean! I think I have never seen such clean shared bathrooms before in a hostel. Also there are yoga classes nearly every day which are announced on there instagram I suggest you check their account if you are interested in that.

Jud and Isuru were wonderful hosts and it was so lovely meeting them and their two gorgeous boys. It was also awesome to be able to rent a bicycle from them for a day and cycle. Loved living in the community of locals, being in nature and getting away from the noise and tourists for awhile. Also, Jud is an amazing chef and the food was wonderful. She and Isuru also helped to try to alleviate my conjestion by making me a steam bowl with lime leaves. They are a truly lovely family and I miss them already,

I had a very good stay at this hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the room was clean and comfortable with everything I needed for a pleasant stay. The location is convenient, close to Kabalana Beach, which made it easy to get around. Overall, it was a nice experience and good value for the money. I would be happy to stay here again.

A very welcoming and completely renovated property surrounded by greenery, very close to "Jungle Beach," a unique experience that immerses you in the true culture of Sri Lanka. Although the hostel is not currently on Google Maps, and therefore difficult to find, there is a Tuc Tuc service offered by the host who will take you from the first hostel, "Oops," to "Hanuman Heights"! Very nice! Definitely an experience to try at least once in your life.

A hidden gem! About a 10mins walk from the main streets (where you can find supermarkets and bus stops). I had a very comfortable stay here and the owner was super helpful. He used to work in a hotel in dubai and it shows through his professionalism and consideration!

The staffs are just so fantastic. I was super confused with the airport highway bus and one of the staff came all the way with me to help and check if I'm taking the right bus😭 And they always come to ask you if you need anything. The room is hotel quality, felt really safe in the hostel too. Location is great, you can easily get to the Galle fort on foot or by tuktuks. Highly recommend it!

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.
