AC hat leider nur den halben Raum belüftet. Vorhänge in den oberen Betten waren zu kurz, sodass man immer das Licht abbekommen hat.

The best hostel in Sri Lanka I came across during my whole trip. It's very clean, has a nice pool, location is good and feels really premium.

Tolles Hostel mit Mega Rooftop. Oben unterm Dach gab es mehrere Chillmöglichkeiten, sowie ein Billardtisch. Sehr nettes Personal und eine gut ausgestattete Küche zum selbst kochen. Lage ist ebenfalls sehr zentral.

I’ve stayed in over 83 hostels around the world and JJ’s is def on my top 3. Ended up booking one night and turned into almost two weeks lmao. I can’t recommend enough this hostel, the amenities, the staff, and the vibes felt like home away from home. Whenever I’m back in Mirissa I’m definitely coming back ◡̈

The hostel itself was great, especially the garden/pool/hammock area for relaxing. Staff were helpful, the breakfast was cheap and delicious and everything was clean. Sadly they do not have social events or activities besides yoga.

I had a private room and it was perfect, best hostel I stayed in out of all of my Sri Lanka travels. The hostel lacked a bit of atmosphere and I found it hard to socialise with others but the social hosts did try their best but the calibre of people there just wanted to do their own thing! Highly recommend

Beautiful hostel and extremely clean! One of the nicest private rooms I’ve stayed at. However, the overall atmosphere is dull as there is no social interaction within the hostel. It’s such a lovely place, I’d like to see more fun events and ice breakers at the hostel.

The 8-bed dorm is big, with two big showers (warm water, not hot) and sinks plus separated toilet. Cleaned it often and change the towels/bed duvet. The outside space is nice and I enjoyed specially the rooftop. Never had breakfast there, my suggestion is add some snacks also for lunch/dinner.Location just a few minutes from the main road and beach, but the road is very dark during night.They don't organise many activities though (just yoga and surf + party once a week, not many sociable events)

Breakfast not included, which makes it a tiny bit expensive in total compared to other places, but you have ALL the amenities you could wish for. No notes.

Heel nette locatie! Wij verbleven in de dorms. Deze waren heel goed uitgerust in een grote kamer. Bedjes hebben leeslampje stopcontact en gordijntjes. Badkamers en douches waren de beste die ik ooit al gezien heb bij een hostel! Gezellige sfeer (zwembad, hangmatten, zitzakken, yoga, pooltafel). Niet echt een feesthostel, maar wel sociaal. Perfect wat de zochten! Wij raden het echt iedereen aan!
