"Wouldn’t recommend for solo female travelers"

1.0

The animals treat you better than the property managers

Carefree, Pretty solo female travelers PLEASE run away from this place. Having backpacking solo for the last decade all over the world it’s the first time I write a negative review. After living and working in this hostel for over 4 months last year,one year later today I make a booking only to hear from them that I have been banned from the hostel. Slut shamed and ridiculed at the cost of being a wild free woman. While drugs and narcotics are allowed it’s not allowed to be your Self. The story I was told was that after I left last year in January “some tourists” came looking for me and made his girlfriend uncomfortable asking if she was me? lmfao Basically they labelled me a whore and didn’t want me returning to the hostel. Cause Whores aren’t welcome. You dress pretty and flirt with guys - not allowed Cocaine - yes What I find most amusing is that they waited one year to tell me this- of course they needed time to perfect the story. I’m in touch with my lawyer to file a case against defamation of my name and reputation. A pity to this beautiful location. Other than the people running the hostel the space is truly beautiful. Wouldn’t recommend for solo female travelers

Beautiful place and environment. Loved the opportunity to kayak in the morning.

Too many people in the shared room. And the bunk beds are not comfortable and it has no curtains for privacy.

A beautiful oasis by the lagoon - wish we’d stayed longer. And taking the kayak out for sunset and sunrise was super special

"Großartiges Hostel"

Das beste Hostel, das ich in Sri Lanka hatte. Der Host hat uns mit allem geholfen, es wurde sehr gutes family dinner angeboten und auf Nachfrage konnte auch ein Transfer zu vielen Orten organisiert werden.

Das war wirklich eins der besten Hostels in dem wir je waren. Das Hostel liegt direkt an einem wunderschönen See. Die Unterkunft ist sehr sauber und es gibt sehr viele Ecken in denen man chillen kann. Dadurch entsteht auch eine sehr schöne Atmosphäre. Kiri und alle Mitarbeiter sind wirklich extrem hilfsbereit und freundlich. 10/10 nur zu empfehlen!!!!
