This is a wonderful place to stay. Since the first moment when I arrived I felt the nice vibes of this hostel. It's clean, comfy and there are some nice people working there. They so organize many group events and activities, so it's perfect when you want to socialize. Also the owner literary saved me when my laptop stopped working and he offered me to use his spare one. Loved staying here and I will definitely be back! :)

    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 🌷🌀💗
