From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. This charming hostel is run by the kindest couple you can imagine. The mother prepares delicious meals in her cozy restaurant, and the father took us on one of the most beautiful tours we’ve ever done – full of stunning views and authentic local experiences. Everything here is filled with heart and soul. Their warmth and genuine hospitality turned our stay into something truly special. It’s rare to find such a welcoming, family-like atmosphere. If you’re looking for a place with personality, comfort, and unforgettable people – this is it. Highly recommended from the bottom of my heart!

Honestly one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at during my time in Sri Lanka. The place is clean and comfortable, breakfast was always delicious, and the one dinner I had there turned out to be the best meal of my trip — tasty, generous, and great quality. What really made it special was the people. Maliya was so kind and helpful, always there if I needed anything. He even took me to a beautiful sunset spot nearby and walked me to the bus stop when I checked out. Those small gestures really meant a lot and made the stay unforgettable. Highly recommend this place!

I booked this place last minute and wow… what a surprise. It’s not just a bed—it’s a whole vibe. It’s clean, cozy, safe, and bursting with traveler energy. Every night felt like a new memory. One of those spots you want to gatekeep… but can’t, because it’s too good.

The hosts and their project :-) The location, both in the middle of the jungle and at walking distance from the Lion’s rock. The hostel “front yard” is fantastic! The place is simple, with a good bed (with mosquitoes net) and the room has a fan with a remote control. Breakfast was super!

We had a wonderful stay at this hostel! The place is impeccably clean and well-maintained, making it feel like a home away from home. The host is incredibly friendly and helpful, always going out of his way to ensure a pleasant stay and offering great tips for local attractions. The traditional breakfast served each morning was absolutely delicious – a perfect start to the day! The hostel is located in a peaceful area, offering a calm and relaxing atmosphere, yet still close enough to everything you need. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable, welcoming, and quiet place to stay. We would definitely come back!

The Hostel is amazing. The beds are Huge and have the best mattress all over Sri Lanka. I enjoyed my stay a lot. Bathroom was clean, stuff was very friendly and the food was really delicious. They organized us a tuktuk to go to the sunrise hike and also make sure to answer all of your questions. Thank you a lot!

I fell in love with this hostel <3 Before staying there I thought hostels wouldn't be for me, but this hostel, this experience, changed my mind completely. Staff took good care of travellers and is super friendly and outgoing since they played boarding games with travellers in the evenings besides that they organized many adventures during the days. There were a sunrise and sunset hikes, elephant safari and lake swimming organized by the staff so you won't get bored while staying at this hostel. I highly recommend for solo travellers!

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.
