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.

    The house was very cute and comfortable. We loved the pool and close distance to the beach. Latha cooked us breakfast each morning which was tasty. A great budget-friendly option for staying within walking distance to Bentota Beach.

    Beautiful family, very welcoming and very helpful. Drove me to the beach and went above and beyond for me. Dinner was incredible, only 3,000 rupees! Breakfast also lovely with a good pot of tea. Arranged a catamaran trip too which was super cheap and a nice thing to do. Room was great. No bug issues. Nothing extravagant definitely better than expected. Pool is also lovely.

    Great place right on the beach. The restaurant was great, staff being really polite and helpful. The beach is beautiful and it's a great location to visit the other beautiful beaches close by. Definitely worth visiting a turtle conservation in the area too - we went to Galbokka Research Center.

    The hotel is beautifully decorated and the staff are out of this world. I instantly felt at home away from home. The food was unbelievable and very generous portions. The staff assisted me getting cheaper than half price tours that I was offered by tour guides in the local area. They arranged my tours and took me on their tuktuk to the tour guides directly. I felt extremely safe and valued here I would recommend anybody to stay you won’t regret it.

    Seems to be a great hotel in past, but not now however some renovation going on. Most of the fittings and amenities are either broken or heavily worn out or not upto standard, maybe the reason for this super small price tag. But the staff playing a good role to make the stay comfortable. Great location, Good staff. Good value for the super cheap price they offered.

    This place is amazing. It's extremely clean, feels like home and in a great location. This place is ideal for relaxing as the beach is 2 min away and to access the beach you cross the train track which super safe and awesome.
