Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location near to most of the attractions. Mr. Sarath is exceptionally good and provided all the services and he helped with getting a motor bike for us. Food is lovely. Value for money is excellent.

    Great location, and very friendly staf the hotel is next to the sinharaja rain Forest. If you stay there you have to go to go with a guide from this hotel. We contacted someone else but apparently they can not take the job we had to book via the hotel. It cost 30 USD per person. This is expensive if you know the ticket price of the forrest… Food is ok.

    Great location, and beautiful views from the balcony! The family are very friendly and the food was good. One of the sons provides tours of the rainforest which makes it very easy to organise. 25usd pp for a 6 hour tour, which includes park entrance fees, lunch and visiting 2 waterfalls. He's a nice guy and a good guide.

    This place is in a great location right on the edge of the park, however, the owner/manager of this place, along with the cleanliness of the bedding and the construction of the budget accommodation, really lets it down.
