Mein Aufenthalt war recht okay. Ich fand die Mitarbeiter ein wenig “komisch”, sie wirkten irgendwie so als wenn sie nicht bei der Arbeit seien. Dennoch war das gesamte Hostel, Zimmer, Bad etc sauber! Die Atmosphäre war nicht wirklich schön. Die Leute waren sind da hinterher Leute kennenzulernen, was ja auch nicht schlimm ist aber dies hat man sehr gemerkt. Für 1-2 Nächte aber okay

Nice and cozy hostel with comfy beds, curtain and A/C (the person who works there is friendly and turns it on during the off hours if you ask). He is also super helpful, hard-working, and is always there when you need any help. There’s also a nice kitchen area for people who want to cook their own stuff. Location also right next to the main road (I took a bus from Hiriketiya to get to Marissa and the hostel was literally a 2 minute walk from the bus stop). Only downside is not a very social vi...

неплохой хостел, но очень холодно в комнате, вместо одеяла какая-то тонкая тряпочка, приходится арендовать полотенце, чтобы им укрываться. безналичная оплата не работает

Nettes Hostel in guter Lage. Die Zimmer waren groß, sauber und nachts klimatisiert. Auch die Badezimmer waren groß und sauber. Insgesamt war die Atmosphäre eher ruhig und nicht sehr social. Viele Restaurants, Cafes und Geschäfte sind in der Nähe. Es gibt kostenloses Trinkwasser und eine kleine Küche für die Gäste

The hostel was lovely, the beds were comfy, good privacy. The atmosphere is very chill there. It's not on the main road but still a good location! Just a heads up, no hot water in shower.

A great hostel, really good value and super close to the beach. The guys working there are helpful if there’s any issues. The free water is a bonus! Appreciated the curtains & the big under bed lockers!

Nous avons loué une chambre privée au RDC, odeur terrible d’humidité (moiteur) bcp de moustiques. Nous avons dû du coup demandé de l’anti moustique et de rallumer la Clim pour enlever de l’humidité. Au niveau des équipements c’est très très basique. Les espaces lounge ne sont pas cosy, et vraiment pas d’ambiance. Et en plus ils ont un panneau marqué « free coffee et strong WiFi » et nous avions ni l’un ni l’autre. Pas d’accueil ou très peu, le personnel ne parle...

Nice and chill. Not really a community vibe but it’s a nice place to enjoy some more privacy whilst still staying at a hostel and having the availability of meeting people.

This was by far the cleanest and most well-organized place I stayed at in Sri Lanka. Everything feels very peaceful and calm. However, if you are looking for a very social atmosphere, this might not be the right place—at least based on my one-night stay. Some activities were mentioned on Linkup, but it didn’t seem like they were actually taking place. That said, this hostel is quite new and I believe it has great potential to become an excellent place to stay in the coming years.

The rooms were clean, spacious, and really nice. The staff were incredibly friendly and kind , they took the time to talk and made me feel very welcome. The location is perfect, within walking distance to both the beach and the town. Great vibes all around, and everything about the stay was spot on. Highly recommend!
