At some point I was like ‘all these facilities for this price, that’s a good deal’ felt like a home after staying for few nights. All G here, highly recommended!

Jack and Sophie create an amazing, friendly atmosphere, they're helpful and always on hand if you need them. We had a great rice & curry eve, drinks on the beach and baby turtle release. We stayed in the palm side building and the downsides were not having a/c, curtains that stopped the light/sun coming in, hot water, shower gel and a comfier bed set up, but by no means would they stop us from staying again

Best hostel/friends house in Sri Lanka . The owners are amazing and involve you everyday in different activities. Close to a really good sand beach, turtles, best surf, yoga place and coffee shops, best party and gather. You can rent your motorbike here too. You have a grocery store not too far from the co living but don’t lose the cooking classes and family dinners. I couldn’t see the working space yet when I was there but now Looks great . Don’t lose the ice bath time :) I will be ...

Coole Unterkunft mit super lieben und hilfsbereiten Hosts. Habe mich sehr schnell wohl gefühlt. Ich persönlich würde die Matratzen im Dorm mal tauschen bzw. das Zimmer wieder etwas auf Vordermann bringen. Ansonsten hat das Hostel echt einen coolen vibe.

Great hostel run by a lovely British couple. They know all the good spots in the area for eating, drinking and surfing. Right on the sea front with an almost private beach. Strongly recommend!

Had a great stay at Beachbums! Would have wished the hostel was in the CoLiving house though, and a better mattress and fan would make a huge difference.

Eine meiner liebsten Unterkünfte in Sri Lanka. Es fühlt sich an, wie mit den Mitbewohnern zuhause zusammenzuleben. Sehr sauber, freundlich, familiär. Ich würde jederzeit wiederkommen.

Even though I only had a short stay at BeachBums i really loved the atmosphere. As Jack said "make yourself a home" and it really worked. Great people. You had the feeling that you were being accepted into a big family. I would definitely come back.
