Guest Reviews
- Hannah (10/5): A great hostel with everything you need in a good location and so close to the beach. The owners are really friendly too -
- Emily (9/5): Superb - Lovely dorm and bathrooms I was the only guest and they didn’t have any staff or security overnight. I came back at 8pm to a pitch black driveway and the hostel dogs barking and growling at me. I really struggled to sleep as the property is off the main road.
- Mary (10/5): Exceptional -
- Queenie (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing interior and community!
- Charith (6/5): Comfortable Stay with Some Inconveniences - The 4-bed dorm was clean, cosy and spacious. Spacious bathroom. Power sockets on the wall for each bed was helpful. The kitchen is right next to the room, and the staff is extremely loud throughout the day, making it hard to relax. After 10 PM, all outside lights, including those along the walkway to the hotel, are switched off, which makes returning at night difficult. The steps to the upper bunks are too steep, posing a challenge, and there aren’t enough hooks for towels, which is inconvenient
- Owen (10/5): A cracking little spot, with lovely staff. I hope it doesn’t change the bigger they become. - Great design, decor and finish. Set back from the main road so nice and quiet yet less than a minutes stroll to the beach. I really can’t think of anything.
- Maisie (1/5): Over priced, location is decent but quality is poor - Location Leaking bathroom roof, no sound proof, confusing changes of staff / random people around
- Caroline (5/5): Not the best experience - The location close to the beach front is definitely a plus! The staff hanging out on my porch and moving my clothes around to make themselves comfortable made me extremely uncomfortable.
The loud music, chats and the thin walls.
The ceiling leaking on my bed.
The price of private room given all the above!
- Amisha (9/5): Superb -
- Heshani (10/5): Exceptional - Loved the property. It’s small and cute. Very clean beautiful small hostel it was
- Anna (10/5): Exceptional - rooms are extremely comfortable and clean, everything is quite new, bathroom is amazing and spacious, cleaning almost every day two times a week there are big parties in the place with DJs playing till the middle of the night, nice if you wanna party yourself, otherwise very loud and hard to sleep :)
- Mallikarachchi (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ella (9/5): Superb -
- Lea (6/5): clean rooms but loud - clean and new rooms very loud music during day and night, at friday and wednesday there are open mic nights right next to the room. we werent there than, but still: its more a hangout than a guesthouse
- Branizza (5/5): Great facilities, not quiet at all. - The bedroom and location were great. Very very loud, you can hear everything inside of the rooms. Could not sleep well.
- Peumalee (10/5): Exceptional -
- Manuri (9/5): Superb -

- Carly (6/5): Good stay if you don’t mind noise. - The property is a cool space, lovely restaurant/ bar and really nice shower / bathroom.
A lot of potential!
Staff lovely. Unfortunately it was just too noisy. Perhaps a good place to stay if you’re into a hostel party vibe.
The walls between the private rooms were so thin you can hear people next you watching videos on their phones. Just felt like there was not a lot of privacy. Also 3 cute dogs but not so cute when they wake you up at 3am non stop barking.
- Christa (9/5): Superb - The room was absolutely amazing! Very clean and modern! Beds were good and bathroom super nice and big! Stuff was very nice and helpful! I absolutely loved the food they made here! It’s super close to the beach but still has its own peace! It’s good to know they have party every Wednesday and the walls are like paper. There are lots of people and I felt little uncomfortable when we had some of our stuff in the outside area and people were almost sitting in your “terrace”. Music is LOUD! There is no privacy in the outside area! But if you feel like party this is definitely the place to be!
- Viktor (7/5): Lively small hostel which might be great if that’s what you are after… - Really great location super close to Hiriketiya beach and easy walking distance to Dickwella. Room was tastefully decorated and the semi-outdoor bathroom was very nicely designed despite being very warm during the day with limited ventilation (kind of like a greenhouse). This is definitely more of a loud hostel vibe than a small quiet guesthouse. This is obviously not necessarily a bad thing but worth being aware of for anyone considering staying here.
Loud music (of varying quality) between 8am and roughly 10pm with terribly soundproofed rooms. If you have even moderately loud neighbours, you’ll be able to hear almost every word. Coupled with some noisy resident dogs and this is definitely not a peaceful place to stay. Staff were friendly and accommodating to us making a change to our booking. However, it was at times quite unclear who worked at the hostel and there was little proactive hospitality at any point with everything requiring us to go out of our way to ask/make things happen (check-in, check-out, WiFi password, following up on our change request, etc.).
- Barry (8/5): Very good -
- Iain (7/5): Great location, masses of potential - Banging location, right in the heart of the beach community, and unique with a mini skate park. Rooms are a great space, well designed and bathroom was lush. This place has so much potential Beds were v firm! It’s new so had some teething issues, but the manager was very eager to hear our feedback - a great sign for a place to flourish.
- Erikuelme10 (10/5): Exceptional - Great staff, and really clean
- Carmen (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing service , with very friendly and attentive staff. Everything was spotless, clean, and well-maintained. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and pleasant stay
