This was definitely one of my favourite stays in Sri Lanka. First I was solo and two weeks later I came back an brought my boyfriend and friends. The place is absolutely stunning, location perfect and close to anything: supermarket, snorkeling with turtles, ATM and many lovely cafes. Vibe is quiet and calm with plenty of activities organised by the hosts which offers something good for everyone! Can’t wait to come back here.

Had such an amazing stay at this hostel, everything was amazing. The staff, dorm, bathroom, the poeple, and the overall atmosphere was amazing. The pool, the rooftop bar, and the actitivies organized by the volunteers. 100% would come back to this hostel if I ever come back to Sri Lanka. I can easily see myself staying at this hostel for weeks or even months.
