The structure is perfect! Once you enter you will never want to leave! The owner is the kindest and most altruistic person you will meet during your trip. All the staff are super helpful (they picked us up at the station and picked us to the main road several times) The services are always clean, the kitchen is very spacious and well served, the owner has also provided tea and several infusions for every need, all of high quality. Relaxing outside will be a must! More than in a hostel I felt like I was staying in a 5-star hotel !! 😍 The owner also made us do meditation and for my birthday they also organized a wonderful surprise, I couldn’t ask for anything better, we felt like family, we can’t wait to come back!

Jude and Isuru are the most amazing hosts ever, they immediately made us feel like we were apart of their family, we booked for one night and ended up staying for two. We would have stayed longer if we weren't on a tight schedule. We all shared meals together, played heaps of games, had lots of Leo and Levi cuddles and heaps of great conversations. When we come back to sri lanka we will be staying with them again. Room was comfy with mozzie nets and a key for privacy. Jude gave us all the hotspots to visit around Unawatuna and also did a cooking class with us which was fun and the food was amazing. Sweetest host family, thank you so much for having us, hopefully see you all again in the future.

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.
