The hostel is by a lake which is just perfect for a serene getaway! The hosts are also very kind and accommodating, willing to help you out in whichever way they can. You'll be welcomed by wagging tails as soon as you enter the hostel, which is a great plus for travellers who love animals! Great setup with kitchen, for ones who wish to cook their own food. The canoe/kayak rides are free for those staying at the hostel. Can't wait to be back again! 💞

The hostel was very new (only 5 months old) so it felt fresh and clean. The communal area was cute. I loved the history behind the hotel and that its family run. Location is ideal.

The overall property is beautiful, it’s a heritage home. Really well maintained. The dorm was pretty clean and cozy, special callout for the host - Pinidu. Really welcoming, greeted me with a refreshing drink and helped me with travel suggestions as well.

All hostels in Hikkaduwa

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great Location, Great View from the seaview rooms, Decent free sunbeds on the beach and clean beach towels provided, Breakfast was an added bonus, not western style but they happily made you great toast if you asked. and you had fresh fruit tea coffee juice as well as sri lankan breakfast offerings. Drinks also where slightly cheaper than the surrounding beach bars

    The hotel was lovely, and the staff was super friendly. They meet all your needs and are always happy to do so. The room was clean and beautifully made for our arrival. The location is great, as you can walk to the beach within seconds. It's a bit far from the centre but not a problem as you can walk or take a tuk-tuk, which is cheap and safe. Breakfast was good and the best in Sri Lanka we had.

    Right at the beach. You have your own space outside next to your room. The owner was very helpful. He called me to explain how to get there in the middle of the night. I was able to check in late. You can find cheaper options if you have low budget and planning to stay longer. But for this price it is quite decent place considering the fact it is right at the beach
