Set in Weligama, 1.3 km from Weligama Beach, Nature Rex Hostel offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. Featuring a bar, the hostel is close to several noted attractions, around 1.4 km from Abimanagama Beach and around 1.9 km from Kushtarajagala. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen, room service and currency exchange for guests.

Not often you come to a new place and immediately feel this special vibe. I found so much more at this place. Place is surrounded by nature and it's away from the main road so it's as tranquil and calm as very few places on the coast. After just few days I knew I respect the family and young man that runs this place and I extended my stay. Now being here another countless time I feel like I found my place to immerse into peacefull tranquility surrounded by nature. The place can arrange additional activities and is surfer friendly. Booking does it a disservice by saying place is located a mile from the beach. The best and cleanest beach and surf spot Jungle Beaach is only three hundred yards away. It takes three minutes to get to this sandy paradise. Also during the season ask for Family Bandara's breakfast. I'm serious it's a feast and for a really good value for money.

This place is amazing. I was here three weeks ago and decided to come back. No hostel is like this. The staff is amazing and friendly, the people is marvellous and social. It is totally understandable that people have stayed here for so long. Cute dog, but a bit hectic sometimes. Perfect placement, just a sec from the beach. Lovely volunteer, especially that extra guy, think his name is Alex.

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 and on the same premises there is a nice (but a bit expensive) vegan cafe. The staff was very young and hanging around the place, communicating with the guests all the time, hostel vibe.

    Wake Up Hostel was my favourite Hostel in Sri Lanka so far. The social vibe is great and you can easily get to know new people. There is social activities every day, the location is 5 minutes from the beach and it's a bit off of the main road so you don't here the traffic. In addition the Host is super cool and takes part in most hostel activities. The dorm room was spacy, clean and there was a wooden Box to store your important stuff. If you want to to experience something you should definitely go here.

    The hostel is runned by volunteers and they make a great job! They are kind, friendly and make you feel like home!! The building is very nice, has an amazing rooftop and it’s located in a quiet neighbourhood. You have the option to ask a local family to cook you sri lankan lunch, dinner or breakfast for a good price. And if you want to meet new people, don’t hesitate!

    This homestay is perfect if you are looking to stay in a private room but still want to save money. It is very basic but it has everything you would need and a great location. If you are a traveler on a budget I would definitely recommend this place as it is the same price as a hostel but you can get more privacy and don’t have to sleep in a dorm…
