The highlight of my stay was the delicious and varied breakfast spread. Each morning, I was treated to a different culinary delight, including traditional Sri Lankan dishes such as rice and curry, kottu, fried rice, and coconut roti. The food was absolutely mouthwatering! Special mention must be made of Maliya, the manager, who possesses an encyclopedic knowledge of Sri Lanka. His passion for his country and his dedication to providing guests with an unforgettable experience were truly inspiring. I felt like I had made a lifelong friend during my stay.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Service was exceptional- the owner even gave me a lift to an ATM and helped arrange transport. Breakfast was alright too. The overall vibe is very nice and it’s close to a big hostel that has a bar and organises cheap excursions you can join. Location is a bit far from everything - but if you know that before coming it’s fine. Also had dinner at the restaurant. Food was alright but waiting time quite long.

    Just perfect - Roy has been able to build this amazing backpackers heaven offering different activities, family dinners all to produce a form of community! It is obviously not the cheapest hostel you can find but to be honest, it is completely worth it: the beds are extremely confortable, and Roy and his team will usually go out of their way so that you have a pleasant stay ❤️ I can’t thank them enough for this really great stay
