Sam, the owner, is such an awesome guy and will help you out with anything you need. This would be one of the only hostels really giving back to the community around it, and trying to do things here in Sri Lanka the 'right' way.

The rooms and the pantry it's very clean and I recommend 100% for this hostel to stay. It's very cheap and high quality. Solo travellers must visit.
Great Location, Great View from the seaview rooms, Decent free sunbeds on the beach and clean beach towels provided, Breakfast was an added bonus, not western style but they happily made you great toast if you asked. and you had fresh fruit tea coffee juice as well as sri lankan breakfast offerings. Drinks also where slightly cheaper than the surrounding beach bars
One of the best hostel in srilanka and the owner of hostel amazing and staff too
Good for a budget stay, with a great location, but room had many roaches.
Amazing location right on the beach, a great view to wake up to, a range of beach bars near by, extremely cheap so it’s perfect if you need a simple place to stay for a night on a budget! It’s rustic and quirky.
Beautiful location, perfect for the sunset, staff are welcoming and attentive and the food served is very good, although the menu is limited. Plenty of places to sit and eat and the toilets and showers are good for a backpackers type of accommodation. If you are young and carefree, want to drink, and listen to music late into the night then this is a good spot, caters for everything you need. If you are on the road and looking for a cheap nights sleep like we were, this is not the venue for you.
Absolutely loved this place and came back twice. It‘s a little paradise to just relax or go surfing and to meet other nice people. One of the best Hostels I have stayed so far
Great location, great staff they gave us a charger to borrow. Wish there was aircon but was so cheap so wasn’t expected.
