Absolute belter of a hostel, literally the only place I found to have any fun in Sri Lanka. Ended up volunteering after my stay as a guest and couldn’t have spent the time with better staff or guests. Can chill by the pool and walk to the beach in the day and then it’s such a social place you’re never stuck for meeting new people. Ended up making some of the best travelling friends I’ve ever had. Cannot recommend this highly enough. The rooms are just what you need and have big lockers to lock your whole ba

Best party hostel in Sri Lanka. Events every night with an island bar right next to the pool and reception so it's super easy to socialize and meet people. Boat party on Monday is the best one I have been to so far on my travels around the world. Family dinner every night with an all you can eat buffet and tab system means you don't need to worry losing your wallet. Not a hostel you want to miss. Massive thanks to Alex and Luke 🦘. The boys down under know how to throw a sick party.
