Cycling Backpacker Hostel

One of the most cool and chill places I have had the opportunity to stay in entire Srilanka. Read a previous review that complained about some stuff but my experience was honestly pretty good. Beds were super clean and comfy. Pool was awesome with running water all the time. The dorms were airy, clean, and comfortable in all ways. The owner is pretty chill and the reps introduced me to the local culture and invovled me in a lot of cool activities like Surfing and took me to a music festival as w...

Good for the price. No AC but all the beds have fans, although it still got quite hot in the room. Not super clean in my bed (several dead ants etc) but bathroom area was very nice. Pool also didnt look super clean. More hostel reps than guests when we stayed, so the vibe was a bit weird. Location is nice though, a 20-25 min walk from the main shop and restaurant area.

Nicest group of people running the hostel, fun activities on every day 10 / 10

Best hostel! Felt like being part of a family! I found many new friends here! Always something happening at the hostel. Will definitely be back if I'm ever in unawatuna!

Awesome hostel! Friendly staff and very homely vibes. Made friends within an hour. Close to the beach (5 min with tuktuk or 25 min walk) Has a pool! Property was clean, multiple showers and toilets available Also kitchen available everything was kept clean and tidy! There is a few supermarket and some small local shops very nearby. - 70m from the unawatuna railway station 10/10 would recommend for good vibes : ) Organized group activities feels like a big cozy family ❤️

My favourite hostel I’ve stayed in! Everyone who stays here is treated like family & there are great social events happening each day. It can get hot, but there is a pool and fans around that do help to cool down! The beds are also comfy. A lot of appreciation to the staff, and I’ll be sure to come back again

Nice social hostel. They organise activities everyday like surfing and yoga. It’s a little way out of the town but tuktuks are available. The rooms are very hot without A/C but the beds have fans

Nice and social hostel with a good location next to the train station

Loved this place so much. Perfect for solo travelers everyday there are events going on. Super clean and the people working there are so nice and welcoming. Extend my stay to a total of 2 weeks and hopefully be back someday soon.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hostel. It is close to the mainroad with many good local restaurants. It is also right around the corner of the train station. To go to the beach you have to take a Tuktuk. The outside area is really cool with a swimming pool and a small kitchen area. The dorm rooms were okay, however it was smelling very moldy all the time which was bot so nice. There is no A/C in the room however each bad has a little fan. Cool activities are offered daily.

I liked my stay there! Morning yoga was included and they organize social events. The staff was super friendly.

A beautiful hostel with a fun and social atmosphere, lots of activities and daily surf sessions. Also nice clean rooms and good location, I can recommend staying here 😁

Really great place, super easy to meet people, would really recommend staying here as a solo traveler! In a very quiet and chill area, perfect location if you wanna stay a bit further away from the crazy streets. Thank you Lucky and the awesome volunteers, I’ll be back!

Pretty nice hostel, cute social area and friendly staff and volunteers. However I found the dorm uncomfortably hot and quite loud even with earplugs in, no AC and small fan above each bed which is fine when you’re in bed but not ideal if you’re just in the dorm. Apart from that they have nice social activities every day which is great and the pool is nice.

Location, staff and hostel cafe were great however, the no aircon and mosquito situation was not pleasant

The room I was in felt damp and had some mould on the walls. Staff helpful and friendly and there is organised social events. Location is bit further out of centre.

It was social with many activities, which was very good! But it was far from unawatuna center, not a good kitchen for cocking food, and not so clean toilets. The beds were not comfortable.

This place have really nice vibe. Many activities. The staff members are nice and they help with you anything. Morning yoga is good and sunset surfing. Would love to come back for sure.

Really nice Hostel, would definitely recommend! They offer many different activities that create a very social atmosphere. Also the people are very open, funny and welcoming. So just be aware that you might get stuck in this hostel because you'll just end up extending and/or coming back :)

If you’re visiting Unawatuna, this hostel is an absolute must-stay! The atmosphere is incredibly social, with fun events planned every night 🥳, making it super easy to meet people. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and having a fan for each bed was a huge plus. The staff and volunteers are so friendly and went out of their way to make my stay feel welcoming. I couldn’t recommend this hostel more❤️
