Stay here if you’re looking to socialise in Weligama. Met some cracking people and had some nice nights out. Best part is that there’s no pressure to do anything socially. Great location in the middle of Weligama too.

There were great activities organised everyday and it was a very social hostel as long as you fit in. Unfortunately the facilities were pretty bad, with no light by the beds, no curtains, a tiny bathroom and aircon that didn’t really work (that you have to pay extra for). Overall I didn’t feel very comfortable socially or with the basic facilities, especially for the price and expectation due to the other reviews & ratings.
