Old Parkland Hostel

Very comfortable and clean absolutely love the staff and the garden

Located in a beautiful house, clean dorm and bathroom, the big breakfast was lovely local Sri Lankan food. Tour in the garden was lovely Very present owner!

Location-wise a little less evident, for finding dinner options or going to the beach/Galle town.

Everywhere was spotlessly clean ~ bathroom, bed, common areas. The grounds are awesome with many beautiful trees. The host Pinidu has lots of information and is kind & patient & generous with his time.

Nothing

The property is in a very convenient location, providing easy access to major spots by tuk-tuk. It has an amazing, large garden, and the owner is a true gentleman.

Amazing place, with a huge garden. The owner will guide you through the different spices and fruits that are in this garden. Also, he is happy to help you with suggestions about sightseeing and transport! Come here if you like calm, but still enjoy a nice conversation at the end of your day. Amazing Sri Lankan breakfasts and dinners! Among the best I have ever eaten in my trip :)

I stayed at Pinidu's hostel for a total of 4 nights. It is easily among the best hostel experiences I have ever had (having stayed at more than 40 in the past few years...). The room/bed/bathroom is spotless. The hosts are extremely attentive to detail- gave me tour of the garden and recommendations about where to visit. Above all, I must say that Pinidu is an exceptional human being. After I left the hostel, I had a medical emergency and contacted him for advice. He exchanged with people he knew and sent a friend to the hospital to personally make an appointment for me as I returned to the city. I stayed again at his place for two more nights while I did more tests, during which he was extremely supportive and sought to help me be comfortable. I cannot recommend this place enough. Especially for people who like a calm environment in nature. Peace from Canada <3

Nothing negative to say...

The host was really nice and gave me lots of advices on what to do.

The garden is incredible. It feels like you are in the jungle but you are actually 3-5 minutes tuc tuc (0.6€) away from the beach and Galle fort. If I am back in the city this will be my hostal again.

What an incredible host. Absolutely loved the stay here. The host puts a lot of emphasis on the experience of the guests. Pinidu is one the best host you'll ever meet during your travels. Definitely recommend this place to solo as well as groups.
