The staff were so friendly and helpful. Always smiling and chatty and really prompt at fixing any problems. It’s a beautiful property with a lovely rooftop and a generally nice vibe, I would definitely stay here again. It’s also really close to jungle beach which is a benefit!

Clean and modern hostel, comfortable beds, cool rooftop area to chill. I wasn’t so social, so I cannot comment on food nor the vibes.

Amazing hostel building, the staff and owner are amazing. Family dinner that they cooked was SO GOOD. Really chilled and laid back vibe and property felt well cared for. It is a short walk down the hill to the main beach and bars/restaurants, but perfectly tucked away if you just want a chilled evening in.

This hostel is al about the great atmosphere that is created by the accommodation lay out and great staff, good for getting in touch with other travellers. Place has a cool rooftop terrace/lounge where they play music and serve drinks. Also really good food from the middle east, made with a lot of care, we had it during group dinners with everyone wanting to join. Definitely a good time there for 2-3 nights.

The staff are so friendly and welcoming - really make you feel like it is your own home. Dinner was delicious and such a wide spread (not included in price). Great options at the bar from iced tea to Arabic coffee to ice cream! Spacious room (we were in the double bed room with en-suite) with balcony with gorgeous chair swings. Communal area in rooftop absolutely delightful and of all the hostels we stayed in in Sri Lanka, was the most comfortable and welcoming to hang out in. Very communal feel in this hostel.

We loved our stay at Habibi Hostel! The owners and staff were all very friendly and welcoming. Everything was clean and comfortable and loved the chill out area at the top that had a great view of the surroundings! Would definitely come back !!!

Location in the Jungle is super quiet and beautiful Rooms were clean with comfy beds and modern bathroom including hot water and good water pressure The whole building is pretty new, well maintained and the middle eastern interior design and decoration suits the vibe Rooftop terrace to watch birds, monkeys and/or chill They also offer middle eastern cuisine which I haven’t tried but have been reassured by other guests that it’s mouth watering The people working here are so heartwarming, welcoming and friendly - they definitely made my stay

I can honestly say that this was the best hostel I’ve stayed at in Sri Lanka. The whole building, including the rooms, was so clean and stylish. The location was perfect because you’re amidst the jungle away from the crowd and noise, yet only a short walk to the beach. The staff are all lovely and caring - the best hospitality standard I’ve come across. Plus the food is freshly made… authentic Arabic dishes that taste incredible! This place has my heart! I booked 2 nights but ended up staying 5! Thank you Habibi team 🌷🌀💗
