The Long Hostel

basic and okay, really not special

Was a good hostel and the staff were very nice

Very nice hostel, we hit end of the season so the atmosphere was a bit off but definitely great staff and very clean

Hostel bem localizado, com quartos limpos e arrumados. Banheiros amplos e em excelente quantidade. Um dos melhores hostels de Arugam Bay.

They have a policy that they dont want to have toiletpaper available.. They leave the doors and windows open because it gets too hot (no a/c, even though they advertise they have and the fans are very noisy). Resulting in at least 50 mosquitos per room. They have nets but don't work. Found at least 7 inside the net during the night. Unable to get proper sleep there. It's relatively cheap though.

Fantastic location, facilities & staff, 10/10. The long hostel is a great hostel. I know I will stay here again & my buddy who was part of my booking too really enjoyed it. Special shout out to Hansa a really great manager & he made our stay even easier. We BBQ’d some fish we caught and ate with the hostel staff. An extra addition is communal toilets & showers for men & women in addition to en suite for dorms. Very reasonably priced! Visit the long hostel!!!

Loved this place. We originally were only meant to stay 4 nights but ended up staying 9! The location is PERFECT, super close to the beach and is located on the main strip of town. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was more relaxed than party vibe but still was quite social and met people to go to parties with. This place felt super safe and comfortable but it is important to note that the doors do not lock but the property is constantly monitored by a staff member. Also ...

Pretty good hostel for the price, staff were really friendly and location amazing! The bathrooms weren’t always the cleanest but plenty of facilities

Kein Social Leben dort wenn du in der Startseason da bist , manche Räume haben kein AC und ich habe von andere gehört das die Mitarbeiter Geld klauen

The hostel was okay to sleep in for a night. The bathroom was kinda dirty and there were no locks or anything on the door or complete hostel. And you can hear everything that’s going on outside, which was annoying. The employees were very nice and helpful tho!

Extended my stay 3 times because didn’t want to leave! Staff were so friendly and helpful!

Good and indeed long Hostel. Dorms are comfortable. Common areas are not special, but after all good, when you travel on a budget.

The staff is very nice and they producing their own power with solar!!

Very good hostel for the price! Sadly not too social (also given the architecture I guess?), no activities planned by the hostel and staff only semi helpful with local tips. Most people here arrive in groups

loved the location and the people. one thing is that you need to bring your own toilet paper otherwise it's a good hostel where you get what you pay for. stuff is super helpful.

Located near the beach, but it's not that clean and they don't give you toilet paper or a towel. Anyway, the staff is really nice and they are always available to help if there is any problem.

Amazing hostel. The way it is organized ensures that you get to talk and meet everyone, it’s clean and the features include all you need. Furthermore, the staff is really chill and can help you with everything!

Don’t give the staff any laundry you want to get back. Usually don’t expect to have things stolen when paying for a service via a trusted hostel.

It's a good hostel but nothing special. Enjoyed my stay here though!

WOW the long hostel. Was meant to stay for a few nights, ended up staying for nearly 3 weeks with a few little trips in between. I could not recommend this hostel anymore, it truly became like a second home to me in Arugam bay. Great and clean facilities, location right near main point for surfing, amazing A/C,social people staying there who ended up being like family and not to forget the unbelievably helpful and funny staff. Stay here if you want Arugam bay to feel like a home away from home!
