TheLakeHostel

​I spent three weeks here and it was, without a doubt, the absolute highlight of my travels so far. ​The peace and beauty of the lake are incredible, but what truly makes this place special are Kiri and Mani. Their kindness, hospitality, and the amazing food made me feel right at home from day one. I especially loved our long chats, they really go above and beyond for their guests. ​If you’re looking for a place to recharge with outstanding service, this is it. I’m already promising myself a return trip. Thank you both for everything see you very soon!

L’endroit est merveilleux, c’est perdu dans la forêt, parfait pour se couper du bruit D’hikkaduwa ! Le kayak et le vélo sont gratuits aussi, ce qui est un vrai +

Can't recommend this place enough, came for 2 nights and extended again and again. The place is so calm, and feels relaxing but sociable at the same time with family dinners. I work remotely and the wifi was perfect for video calls and a great base. Thanks so much to all the lovely staff who went above and beyond!

Le personnel était incroyable. Très gentil et de bons conseils dès que j’en ai besoin. Le repas du soir est un repas « familial » on peut manger tous ensemble et faire de nouvelles rencontres, ce qui est super intéressant.

Il ne faut pas avoir peur de sortir le soir seule car il faut sortir d’un long sentier dans lequel il faut tout noir.

Great people, very social and comfortable. The lake is very peaceful and pretty and the staff and guests were very friendly and welcoming.

Awesome place if you like wildlife. We spent the days on the beach, then came back to the lake to bird watch on the jetty morning and eve. There were monkeys & monitor lizards about which was cool too. A bit further out from town, so need to get tuktuks for about $1 to beachfront/restaurants, so all good. Hosts were great & made good food that catered to vegan/veggie
