We stayed in the tent which was very comfy, but also quite mouldy (I guess they change it regularly, but unfortunately we probably arrived before changing 😄)

Surfing Wombats has an amazing vibe and everyone was super friendly and helpful. The location is great- very easy to get around on scooter if you wanna try different beaches.

Dorm was hot even with the fans (some were weak and couldn't penetrate the mosquito nets). Fine once you get used to it after a couple of nights.

A great place to meet other travellers and form new friendships! Lots of events happening throughout the week such as open mic night on a tuesday and a pingpong tournament on Friday. Staff are friendly and helpful and the location is a short 5min walk to the Midigama beach, or walk a little further to Rams.

All the plugs in the room sparked when we tried to charge any of our devises and we all got an electric shock from the shower, nothing serious but was slightly unpleasant.

The staff were very helpful and friendly, the location was really good, very close to lots of places to eat and the two main beaches. The staff were very proactive with trying to help us In all the ways they could, even offering us to leave our bags if we wanted to travel lighter to our next place

It wasn't the most clean room, not out of hygiene but mostly because I felt like all our stuff is just flying around everywhere.

I just liked the vibe. Its very cozy, nice people, easy to connect and go surf together. Close to midigama spot.

The mattress at the tent was quite hard I would be really nice to have one extra bathroom with a sink, a mirror and hot water. Apparently there is just one in the dorm. Because I was staying in the tent I I brushed my teeth at the sink next to the toilet which was also used by restaurant guests…

I enjoyed my stay at the tent. The staff was super friendly The pizza is very tasty although a bit expensive

Sometimes a little noisy in the morning. Bathrooms a little basic.

Friendly warm staff, good vibes. Lots of fun inclusive activities going on and great pizza!

The showers could be built to be a bit more private. The curtain came down easily and the other shower had an open window that was stuck.

Really good hostel vibes and extra credits to the great host Justin! Thank you, we really enjoyed our stay here. Lots of fun activities and a good set up with enough spaces to chill!

- Cool super friendly staff - Water for free all time! -Cool atmosphere -One of the best pizzas I ever had, but a little expensive

Stayed in February 2023

Hostel is a bit pricy for a hostel this style - a single room with own bathroom is same price. It can be also a bit loud in the dorm.

Community is nice, lots of people always around. Filtered water for refilling bottles for free. Close to the beach and bit off the street.

Location, staff and the vibes - Everything is top notch. And the cats as well.

Having stayed a couple of days at surfing wombats a couple of years back I knew what I was heading for, Surfing Wombats is much more than hostel it’s a way of life. Wombats attracts sociable young surfers looking to score the many epic waves located just a stones throw away from the hostel, the restaurant is famous for the best pizza’s in Sri Lanka and the social events put on draw in a crowd from miles around which makes it the perfect place to meet great people who you’ll undoubtedly meet on your travels or in the line ups. Kroot and Romina have created a wonderful refuge for the anyone seeking to explore the south west of Sri Lanka, their knowledge and contacts are invaluable when making plans. All the staff there are extremely welcoming and ensure that you have a wonderful stay.

There could have been more toilets, but after we found out about the one in the dorm it was alright.

Staying in the tent was a nice experience. Even if it became pretty hot during the day it was perfectly chill at night. Location was perfect just a few minutes walking from the beach. During the day it got a bit busy in the restaurant but mostly we had a calm stay. Awesome Pizza!!
