A great hostel, large rooms, cozy, lots of greenery and communal spaces, although not many people were there during my stay. Huge kitchen and dining area, washing machine, even tea and coffee (tea was really nice). Each dorm bed had an individual fan which was enough to keep cool, and showers had hot water. Only a short (10 min) bus ride to Galle Fort and the bus stop is very close. During my day trip to Galle Fort there was a huge thunderstorm and when I returned to the hostel, I found my laundry that had been drying outside brought in from the rain by the staff, so kind! There was also a donation/trade box for clothes people no longer wanted, which I found a very cool idea as thrift stores don't seem to be popular in Sri Lanka, and there's often need to make space in your backpack.

Great location right on the beach, breakfast was fabulous and included (and served with a great view of the sea). Room (budget) had a very good mosquito net and air conditioning worked well. The house felt secure. Owner and his wife were very friendly. We could leave our luggage to collect later.
- Friendly, cool staff. Social hostel. - Clean building - Every day different social activity - Breakfast included - Options fire bike rental, massage, cheap towels,…
Brilliant location for beach, train station, buses, cafes etc. Roof terrace where you can watch the sunset over the sea and look over Ahangama high street. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Our room was large, had everything we needed (table, chair, hooks). You also had access to washing machine and kitchen. Accommodation is really budget friendly especially considering the great location. Easy to find and get to.
About a 10-15 minute walk from Galle Fort, Backpacker Galle Hostel is tucked away in a wooded area just off a side street. This meant that it was quiet and easy to get to the main attractions in Galle. I never waited long for the bathroom, and I liked that there were plenty of hangers inside the bathroom.
Best hostel I've ever stayed in Sri Lanka!Comfortable bed and pillows, clean and spacious room/bathroom. Guys created a great atmosphere so you feel welcomed right away. Thanks to that everyone is kind and friendly to each other, which makes it perfect for solo travellers.
Fantastic vipe, super relaxed hang out. You will not find a more chill place on the west coast. Bara and his staff treat you like friends. Rooms are basic but so is price. The tree cabins are a gift, waking up with the sound and view of the sea. Good afordable food. Great for backpackers and those traveling on budget.
Awesome place in a great location. Only 2 minutes from the surfing beach. The managers of the hostel are always there and ready to help or create some activity in the evening. Fast WiFi that works even during the powercuts. Will deffently come back again soon.
Great location on the beach. The lagoon/brake water means it is safe to swim (in March) at any time of day and there are many turtles. The staff were very friendly and arranged meals on our veranda as well as trips and transport to Galle.
