Wake Up Weligama

I absolutely adored Wake Up Weligama, Mahesh (the host) made sure everything ran smoothly and was brilliant at bringing everyone together, as well as being an absolutely amazing person. One of my favourite hostels so much so that kept coming back to Weligama for it!

Probably host is a nice person to talk.

The place was really dirty, looks like...I don't even know. Know one is cleaning and caring of that place. Lots of dogs entering the room. It was so disgusting....

A very social hostel with a great atmosphere. The manager is funny and adorable and does everything to make us feel at ease. He gives us tips on things to do in the area and takes us to the surf spot (5 min by walk) every morning, where we can take a lesson or simply rent boards. The bathrooms and dorms are clean, with mosquito nets and fans above each bed. Every evening there's an organized activity or party ! Best place in Welligama !

The best place to stay if you’re seeking a family and community with Mahesh the owner and other travellers. The hostel is small so it is easy to make friends with everyone. Mahesh and the volunteers organise events and trips everyday. Kitchen area and fridge to store food. Friendly dogs :)

It is a back to basics hostel, so no AC but there’s fans.

Everything was perfect, room, host which is really active in organising events and giving info about some, room was basic but clean, had big locker (I had my own lock), bathroom was big and kept clean.

Nice place to meet other travellers with a homely feeling. It was great to feel the community vibe and Manesh makes sure there are activities to do.

It has an amazing social vibe, easy to met people, go out and catch up. Mahesh, the owner, is super nice and kind and fun. 100% recommend
