    I had a really great stay here, but what really was outstanding in This Hostel is the sweet English Volunteer, he was always there to help You and he smelled so good, If he would be a Candle i would put him into my Living Room!

    The PERFECT hostel! The owner, staff and volunteers were super friendly and social and there’s a lot of activities going on like volley ball or beerpong. Was always clean and it only takes you a short walk to get to the beach.

    The place to stay if in weligama, the best social environment of any hostel i have ever stayed at, the owners, Azza and Harshit are the coolest dudes you’ll ever meet, cannot recommend this place enough

    Maybe next time I visit I will select the room with AC, because in the ones with fans only (especially on the top bed) it was really hot at night and a bit difficult to fall asleep.

    It's a very very social place which makes it very easy to meet other travellers, go to parties and enjoy Weligama together. I enjoyed having a kitchen (because in many hostels in Sri Lanka there's not). Also the location is really nice - not directly at the beach but still 5 minute (or less) walking to the surfschools, also supermarket and shops are super close.

    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.

    I had initially planned to stay for a couple of nights but ended up extending my stay to almost 10 days. The place has a unique charm that attracts interesting travelers, creating incredible vibes. The hostel's organized activities help keep you occupied in a location where there isn't much beyond surfing and chilling. The dog is a bit peculiar, being a puppy, and hopefully, he'll become friendlier once neutered. The volunteer is the best hype-person I've encountered, possibly ever in a hostel.

    Very central hostel, suits young backpackers

    Bathrooms in slight disrepair - lock broke (although they called someone to fix it within 24hrs of being notified) and the holder for toiletries kept falling off the wall. Very little to prevent mosquitos getting into the bathroom/room. I had a specific request I messaged about when I booked that was not responded to. Top bunk ladders are quite uncomfortable to climb. You have to pay to rent a towel. You have to provide your own lock (or buy from the hostel) for the locker Suits more of a young backpacker vibe - often people are smoking in the social outdoor seating which then is carried into the indoor seating area. Other guests don’t seem to clean up after themselves - when I left to surf in the morning, the outdoor table was covered end to end with empty beer cans etc. Not the fault of the hostel, the staff were all absolutely lovely, but just FYI incase you’re after a different atmosphere.

    Good storage space Bed curtains were very good, really darked out the space and gave good privacy Liked the plug, personal mini fan and shelf within the bed unit Great location, easy to all the restaurants and the beach Staff were really helpful Nice activities organised pretty much daily.

    The rooms without AC can smell a bit damp, I guess some of the rooms and bathrooms need a upgrade

    A great hostel with a great location. Not far from the bus station or beach. There always some activity and a WhatsApp group to make it easier. Common area is really nice and easy to meet people. Nice with a kitchen as well!

    The room of 8 I was in was super hot and difficult to sleep in so I moved to a room of 4 which was less hot. They told me they're getting air con in that room though so shouldn't be a problem anymore

    Had a great stay! Loved the location, off the main street so was quiet but right in the centre near the supermarket and everything else. One simple thing that I appreciated was that the bathroom was clean and there was always toilet roll and soap. Enjoyed the family dinner and the lovely hosts. I ended up extending my stay for a few more nights too

    The staff! The guys are doing it great. They try to include everyone in the group. It's a social and chill hostel that go partying eveywhere else so it's perfect. If you feel like party you join if you don't feel like partying you stay in the nicest common areas talking and having a tea with others. They have daily activities to make it like a family

    The hostel is by far the best and most social hostel I have ever been to! The hostel is located 50m from a big supermarket and about 100m from the beach(where all the surf schools are located). The Hostel is very clean and the beds are very comfortable. It also has a kitchen where you can prepare your own food and a very good café. I booked for 3 nights and ended up staying about a month. The Staff is great and very helpful with anything you need. I loved this place and can’t wait to come back!!

    During my stay at this hostel i felt like I'm visiting my friends at home. Such a chill atmosphere where you can hang out with a lot of lovely people. It is so convenient that there is a kitchen which you can use to make your own food. What a luxury while traveling! But they also have a cute café area where they serve delicious food. Everything is clean, thw beach with the suef schools is close and the staff is super friendly. I already miss this place from the bottom of my heart!

The staff is super friendly and welcoming, always there for you. The rooms are clean, spacious and so comfortable, making me feel right at home. The location is perfect, with nearby access to great restaurants and beaches. I can't recommend this place enough, it's perfect for anyone who wants to have a good time in shrilanka.

    Bathrooms were dirty, kitchen was poorly run with very few things. Organiser of group events/ volunteer came home at 3am and was drunk and loud in the common room keeping us awake in our room. Coffee machine was advertised which was a big draw yet no coffee machine which was a huge let down more then anything

    The dorm room beds had good privacy

    Very Social Hostel But Better Accommodation Hostels Elsewhere In Weligama

    The room without the AC was quite hot and humid all the time. There's a kitchen, but I wouldn't plan on cooking much here. The place is could use a bit more cleaning. Ultimately, I preferred the other places I stayed in Weligama.

    Very nice and social hostel close to the Food City and a few minutes walk from the beach. They organize group activities and it's probably one of the most social hostels in Weligama.

    Staff could have been more helpful... and the rooms plus the bathrooms could have been cleaned more thoroughly. Also the hostel dog was a bit aggresive and went into the rooms and even chewed up one of the guest's sandals.

    The hostel vibe was nice and the location was great.
