Bappa's Place

Great hostel very chill

I’m trying to give a review like a German or Dutch person so bare with the bluntness. Nothing special about this place. It was ok because it’s just somewhere to sleep. Not so social. Top bunk is a nightmare to climb so good luck. Staff were helpful with laundry and extra blanket. The rooms were FREEZING at night because people wanted to feel like a polar bear in the night. Location wasn’t the best. The walk through some creepy alleyway at night wasn’t ideal. At least it’s tucked away a...

Amazing place to stay. Close to the beach and very well maintained

LOVE this hostel!!! a 5 minute walk from the beach, surrounded by local restaurants and cafes. only a 5 min walk to the center. not really a social hostel, more chilled vibes

Really good hostel, massive beds with a real mattress!!! Rooms are good and have working aircon!! Staff were helpful but not always around. I’d definitely stay again if I was in the area

Pleasantly surprised by the value for money at Bappa’s Place! For one of the more well-priced hostels in Hiriketiya, you get big comfy beds, a well-equipped kitchen with a great coffee machine, and ideal location. There were no activities while we were there but we appreciated the chill atmosphere and lack of overbearing staff :)

Had a great time here. Good value for money. Right by the beach and lots of food spots. Staff were very friendly and the place was really clean. Wasn’t that social of a hostel, but this didn’t bother us as we were in a group. Room looks a little different to pictures as they now have curtains on the bottom bunks, top still just have mosquito nets. I’d recommend and would stay again if in the area

Really nice beds, the bedding had some weird stains on though. Nice outside showers and plenty of toilets. Lots of storage with a small locker for valuables and space under the bed for luggage. WiFi was basically non existent though! Free water refills was great and location so good

The hostel is well located, close to the beach and the center. It was clean and the staff was very kind. The dorm (10 beds) had 3 showers and 4 toilets, which was convenient. However, I think it’s quite expensive for what it is, especially compared to other hostels nearby. Also, only the lower beds have curtains, which is a bit disappointing.

I loved Bappa’s! Such good value The staff are so kind and would do anything to help when you ask but aren’t overbearing or in your face It’s super close to beach. Big almost double mattresses. Bottom bunks have curtains. Showers have shampoo and conditioner in If you are coming solo and don’t have a group I’d say it’s maybe not the most social just to be aware of as no organised activities but if you get the right people it’s super fun

Der Raum war sauber und es gab genügend Platz für Gepäck unter den Betten. Die Betten sind riesig. Leider keine Vorhänge an den oberen Betten, was sehr schade ist, da die unteren welche haben. Auch wegen der Klimaanlage sehr ungünstig. Die Badezimmer waren auch recht sauber. Es ist kein Social hostel, also eher etwas, wenn man seine Ruhe möchte und Hiriketiya erkunden. Es waren alle wichtigen Spots fußläufig zu erreichen.

Super clean, bottom bunks have curtains, showers are decent, super close to the beach. Pretty good 👍

Nice hostel. Not party hostel which suited us. Comfortable beds and clean linen

Big comfy bed and spacious rooms. People were nice and friendly. Location was perfect.

Lovely hostel, expensive to do washing. Very clean staff were really sweet. Don’t leave your shoes outside as the dogs take them! :(

Great hostel, the place is kept super clean and there are nice communal areas to hang out. Great location in Hiri as well

Lovely Place. Nice Social areas, kitchen and the dorms are big. Maybe it’s Not the Most Social Hostel, but it depends on the people I guess. It war really really clean.

I liked this hostel a lot, I'd be happy to stay here again. The rooms and bathrooms were nice and well designed. The air con was powerful and there were ceiling fans too. Fantastic location very near to the beach and pretty near to town. Could do with scheduled activities or meet ups in the hostel to improve it's social facilitating angle. I'm travelling solo, but pairs will be fine here. Monkeys very common here. Lumina next door is cheap and excellent food upstairs, went every day!

Good hostel with big comfy beds and privacy curtain. Generally clean, staff friendly and helpful, but cold showers. 15 min walk from Hirikitiya beach. Good people around but not an overly sociable hostel - no organised activities and limited social space.

This hostel had the best facilities I’ve ever experienced in southeast asia for a hostel. Its the cleanest hostel in whole Sri Lanka. The beds were comfy in the dorm and the private villa was luxurious. You have nets in the upper beds. Although they had a lot of common areas there are no social events like family dinner or quiz nights. Thats the only thing that needs to be added to become one of the best hostels in town. For a solo travelers maybe a little bit lonely, but we made some friends.
