The hostel is really lovely. It has a big garden with hammocks and barbecues, it is close to the beach and the staff is amazing! They help you if you need anything and quickly become friends if you stay longer. Definitely recommend to everyone!

I loved the common Room, it feels like home , and travelers gathering around spending together like good friends . I loved the staff treating you like. A family member . And the Coffee menu they have , so delicious . The Hostel is just across the street from the beach , where you can surf and play volleyball. As the hostel has a WhatsApp group for the tenants where they organize volleyball time and hangouts

As the name suggests, the view is amazing. You can view the whole beach from the hostel itself. The host was very polite and respectful towards the guest. Breakfast was amazing too which includes Sri Lankan breakfast on one of the days and it was very delicious. The dorms were clean, spacious and air conditioned. The bathrooms had showers with multiple settings and were clean too. Overall, an 10/10 experience. Nothing to call out.

We absolutely loved our stay here! The location is amazing – right by the water with a gorgeous sea view, and perfect for surfing. The rooms were super clean and comfy, and it really felt like a holiday spot. But the best part was definitely the staff – they were sooo friendly and made us feel at home right away. Such a great experience in Weligama! Definitely stays on our list if we travel Sri Lanka again!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.
