I think this hostel is probably the best one that I stayed at on the Sri Lankan coast. The vibe was amazing, even during low season. The people you’d meet there are exceptional. I extended my stay for an extra two nights because I felt like I could stay here forever. Each bed comes equipped with its own fan and outlet and privacy. The bathroom is huge. The kitchen was modest but alright. Thank you Lucky and team, you are amazing people.

Nice hostel with good common area but no aircon in rooms is a bit of a killer

The volunteers were really nice and created a good social atmosphere to meet people. Taco Tuesday was great. Quite basic though, no free water or towel. It was cash only and the reception didn’t even have $400R change when I first arrived.
