I had an awesome stay at Hanng because it's clean, well-maintained, and super social, in a prime location. Literally a 1-minute walk to the surf beach or a supermarket. (Priorities, right?).
The crew isn’t just helpful; they actually join in on the fun, making the whole experience even better in Weligama!
Huge thanks to everyone! Emily, your barista-level coffees are dangerously good. Irene, your yoga sessions leave people raving all day with a big smile. Tesh and Harshit, you’re absolute gems—your local knowledge is impressive, and if you don’t know something, you’ll figure it out in no time!"

A/C rooms with bunk bed, clean toilet with kitchen facilities, highly recommended for backpackers.
Great location, lovely owner! Very budget friendly.
Great location across the street from the beach, lots of shops and restaurants at your doorstep. Doesn’t offer breakfast but a really nice locally run restaurant just at the gates which we went to every morning, delicious food and friendly staff. Large, clean too with AC and fan. Budget friendly.
Highly recommend this hostel,it was the best hostel I had stayed in Sri Lanka.The pricing maybe a bit higher for hostel but the facilities speak for it.Kitchen is also open.Everything you need to explore, restaurants, groceries are walkable.Also host gives you a map on check in which has all the details you need to make your stay comfortable.The ac dorms were very comfortable n had 2 shower rooms also. It was clean n there were cute cats at the hostel.You can checkout n keep your luggage in locker room n explore too..
We moved here from another property within Mirissa that wasn’t what it was advertised - the owner was able to accommodate us at short notice, great location walking distance to all of the main cafes/restaurants, near to our favourite (Junction Cafe and Gedara Curry). Really clean, excellent air con and quiet at night (road fairly busy until 7-8pm but not much after this) We booked into the budget double room which didn’t have a fridge, but staff were more than happy to let us use fridge over the road in the kitchen
Clean, friendly people, good to sleep(air-conditioning in the dorms) nature all around. Kitchen to cook. Cheap! Hands down the best value for money of any hostel I stayed at in 6 months in Sri Lanka. I stayed at Abinu's years ago, came back now and will be back next trip. Nearby the beach and shops, very recommended
Great location, very helpful friendly staff, nice break from hostels and fab facilities. Enjoyed the balcony and fridge and huge bed and tv
