The hosts were the best! Absolutely gorgeous and engaging Judith, and soft & sweet Isuru. Don't forget their kids :) Also, the fellow travellers there. They were all repeat customers - and for good reason.

This is a wonderful place to stay. Since the first moment when I arrived I felt the nice vibes of this hostel. It's clean, comfy and there are some nice people working there. They so organize many group events and activities, so it's perfect when you want to socialize. Also the owner literary saved me when my laptop stopped working and he offered me to use his spare one. Loved staying here and I will definitely be back! :)

One of the best hostels I stayed in! The owner is very passionate and lovely, the place is new with all the facilities needed, everything is super clean and neat, the rooms are spacious and beautifully designed. The location is great, close to the central bus station, the train station, and the fort area is walking distance.

Great Hostel ! A unique old style antique property with Beautiful huge diverse garden. Facilities were up to the high quality standard and those are comfortable. Owner was super friendly guy and he was very hospitable. Food and drinks were very yummy and good value for money as well. Very close to the touristic places around Galle and to the city center. Tuk tuk and buses can find very easily in here and all the other necessary facilities are nearby. I'm extremely enjoyed my stay at this hostel.

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.

    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 🌷🌀💗
