Property Description

Tucked away in the mountainous Nuwara Eliya, you'll find the most social hostel in Sri Lanka. The beds are comfy, the beer is cheap, the food is delicious and the vibe is chilled. Laughing Leopard is the perfect hostel to meet backpackers from around the world. From the minute you arrive, you'll feel part of a crazy family.

The hosts will go out of their way to provide you with an amazing experience. They'll tell you exactly what to do and where to go to make the most of your time here.

Their gorgeous dogs are excellent to cuddle with when it gets a bit chilly in the evening. On top of this, the hostel also boasts the best hot water in Sri Lanka - and it's not wrong! Trust us, you'll appreciate a hot shower when the sun goes down!

By day, you can enjoy the bright communal space and get chatting over a delicious home-cooked Sri Lankan breakfast. In the evening, unwind and feel at home with a friendly-family dinner.
By night, catch up over cards, games and a beer or two. This is the place to meet best mates looking to kick back and relax amongst Sri Lanka’s epic mountains.

Hostel is in a great location. Right beside the town centre. Very close to both nine arch bridge and little Adam’s peak trails. Substantial breakfast included which was very helpful and saved money. Staff were very helpful with advice on waterfalls and trails without being pushy. Good social atmosphere in hostel and rep Ethan was very friendly. Our 6 bed dorm was a little small but had good storage space for bags. Plenty of toilets and showers so was never left waiting to use them.

One of the best hostel in Sri Lanka!! The owner are so fun and always there for you. The dogs are lovely as well, we had two parties in the hostel which were really fun and the owner made sure everyone is fine and has fun. The breakfast is really great and the prices are totally fine. The only thing was the mouldy smell in the room :/ but that's often in Sri Lanka. But all in all: GREAT hostel! Thank you for the stay! & The volunteer Felix is also great and did a very good job :)
