Was an awesome stay, no better place to hang around!
Super leuk hostel! Doen veel sociale activiteiten en leuk sfeertje😁
Absolutely loved my stay at happy hammocks. The vibe here for meeting other travellers is so social and friendly but not crazy party. It’s just a 10 minute walk to the main beach and the staff will help organise surfing/bike rental/buses as well as organising some really fun social events. Would highly recommend!
This is one of the best hostels i have ever stayed at! happy hammocks are the best hostels in SL!!
Lovely hostel. Staff are amazing, cheap prices (ice bath free and tuk tuk to and from doctors house free!). Place was clean and also so social, always hangouts planned in WhatsApp chat. Azza also helped so much planning my safari and transport onto to Ella. Thank you!!
The best hostel I’ve stayed in Sri Lanka,the beds and facilities are decent,the people there are amazing,a big shoutout to the owner and the volunteers for hosting social events and creating memories.
Super well located hostel. Good value for money. The staff there made it a 10/10 experience, wholesome social events :)
This hostel is by far one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at over the years, if not the best. We came to Hirikatiya with the aim to stay for a couple days, that ended up in nearly two weeks. It’s so easy to socialise. Volunteers, owners and guests are so welcoming. It’s not a party hostel as such ie it’s quiet if you want to sleep. But there is always activities in the evening and parties to go to with the hostel. Azza, emi,Dennis and crag were unreal. We will miss you❤️
Amazing place! It is super easy to connect with people. They have a lot of daily events and family dinners. Best hostel in sri lanka for me. Loved hanging out with the volunteer emi. She kept the vibe really social. The rooms are great and have comfortable beds. I stayed here for weeks
Heard so much about Happy Hammocks but this didn’t end up being my vibe. I truly think it was the people when I was there, not the place. Other places are social and do have free breakfast for the same cost or cheaper, I ended up moving. Rooms are fine and staff is great!
This is such a lovely hostel and it’s was my friends birthday so they organised a whole cake for us which was so so so lovely!! The hostel is spacious clean and kept cool with great AC. The staff are all lovely and the location is great too, I would for sure recommend this hostel to anyone ☺️
Only stayed here one night as a stop over but it was a good little hostel in a good location close to the beach and the centre but tucked away so it’s nice and quiet! Bed was comfy and they had everything I needed!
I stayed 5 nights and overall it was a nice stay. I enjoyed the people and the volunteers were really nice Emi, Mihir, and July :) Also the vibe was social, chill, and fun. Nevertheless, I must say I was not a big fan of the hostel itself. The rooms are very small, the bunk beds weirdly positioned, the lockers really small and the worst part for my room: our room had no own bathroom, which means sharing it with over 20 people = long waiting times.
Best hostel, loveliest employees & amazing vibe!!
Nice hostel with good and social family dinner. The staff and volunteers were friendly and welcoming. When I was there, most of the social activities were parties.
Had an awesome stay here. It was super social with great staff and organised activities. Bunks had good blackout curtains. It would have been nice to have a separate toilet as the only ones available are in the ensuite bathrooms which people are often using to shower etc.
The hostel was really nice and very sociable. The volunteers (Luca and Emi) did a good job to make sure everyone felt included and organised socials in the evening. The socials are a mix of all party and chilled activities. The room felt quite small for the amount of people but overall I’d recommend!
such a lush stay at happy hammocks, social hosts were amazing and the whole hostel was so friendly, always fun and laughs as well as super helpful staff and comfy clean facilities :) 100/10 would recommend, so sad to leave!
Nice place good location and staff
We had a amazing stay here . The staff were so friendly and always on hand to help out . They organise great activities every night which are great to meet people and socialise . The dorms are comfy and everything is kept extremely clean . It’s got a great location and everything is in walking distance . The pool table is also a bonus :)
