I loved my stay here! Everything was amazing from the facilities to the staff who were so kind and helpful. The grounds of the hostel are so calm and peaceful which makes for a very relaxing stay. The beds are comfortable and the rooms and bathrooms are large and clean! While the hostel is a little out of the center of Unawatuna, it is no problem getting there either by walking or by tuk tuk.

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!

The hospitality of this family was just incredible. From the first meeting with them, I felt totally welcome and their kind attitude made my stay extremely comfortable. I know what I'm talking about because I had stayed in places where I didn't feel that much welcome but this just simply wasn't the case. Sanithu homestay is pretty close to Galle as well as to Bara beach which is less crowded and really beautiful. The WiFi in the homestay was surprisingly good and I was able to teach some online classes without any trouble. I also liked the mattress and I had a very comfortable sleep. There was a mosquito net that kept me safe from the mosquitos and I don't think I got a single mosquito bite there. The bathroom was also really clean and also liked their garden and their cute rabbit too. One thing I should also mention was the food because Champi cooked delicious, budget-friendly meals which were also really healthy and which I enjoyed a lot so I definitely reccommend eating there.

All hostels in Unawatuna

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.

    I can honestly say that this was the best hostel I’ve stayed at in Sri Lanka. The whole building, including the rooms, was so clean and stylish. The location was perfect because you’re amidst the jungle away from the crowd and noise, yet only a short walk to the beach. The staff are all lovely and caring - the best hospitality standard I’ve come across. Plus the food is freshly made… authentic Arabic dishes that taste incredible! This place has my heart! I booked 2 nights but ended up staying 5! Thank you Habibi team 🌷🌀💗
