we've planned to stay for 2 days but loved this place so much and stayed 5 nights. the staff was wonderful, felt like we' re family. our room was clean and big, the kitchen was also great. and also we met a lot of friends here. And had a chance to learn surfing from Cihan. He is the best. we loved this place want to come back again one day.

- staff and owners were extremely friendly and helpful. The hostel has a very relaxed atmosphere - excellent wi fi and air conditioning (if required) - I stayed in a double room, nice room with very comfortable bed - excellent for surfing, couple of surf spots within walking distance and multiple spots located short tuk tuk ride from hostel. Owners also surf and are extremely helpful. There are feee boards available for use by guests - Mellow has an “in house” surf instructor, did not take a lesson myself but heard very good things - free yoga lessons with an experienced instructor - Owners arrange social evenings, these should not be viewed as “forced fun”, they are genuinely interesting events. For example, staff prepared a selection of local food and it was simply amazing All in all it was a great trip. I stayed an extra 4 nights. Many thanks to Dennis, Cihan and all the staff!

The Mellow Hostel is a very friendly place with a great community of surfers and backpackers. Very close to the beach which is an extra bonus.

I had a wonderful stay at Mellow, the beds were so comfortable with private mosquito net, reading light and electrical socket. The bathroom was super clean and I love the modern interior with Turkish beach towels and bed linens! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a chill place to spend your holiday in Sri Lanka, the beach in front of the hostel is one of the best beaches in my opinion!

Mellow is a great place to stay in Sri Lanka. Strongly recommended . Location is amazing as Ahangama is the best beach I have seen during my Sri Lanka visit. You will feel like at home just with more friends around. People who were working or staying at Mellow were very cool and friendly. Clean,quite and stylish rooms with comfy beds, relaxed people around. Mellow is just next to the ocean and you can have surfing lessons from Cihan who is a very very nice and professional guy. Thanks again for nice stay and hope to see you all again ;)

It is a nice place, rooms are clean and comfortable and the stuff is very helpful and offers you many programs. I think we would like the stay if there were no works going on.

Mellow Hostel provides very clean and nice rooms and beautiful dorm beds which provide a decent private atmosphere. The hosts were always friendly and gave a lot of suggestions for points of interest in the vicinity and events. The local surf guide gives perfect tips an waves and swell and gives surf lessons to the guests. Thx for the wonderful stay at Mellow Cheers Rolf

I arrived during the construction period so it wasn't that busy in the hostel. Nevertheless, Deniz tried his best to provide a good service except for the restaurant that wasn't yet ready by my arrival. Staff is super friendly and hospitable. Beach is just across the road so the location is perfect. Beds are comfortable and Mellow has hot showers which are rare - seriously, everything you need. I would definitely go back.

Place is in a nice location a short walk from some good surf breaks and restaurants, you can see the beach break from the top floor. The staff here and incredible, very accommodating and go above and beyond to get their guests out and about and mingling. While I was there we did surf trips, themed dinners where everyone cooked, market days and events in town. The dorm and the whole hostel is very clean, the dorm is a nice, cool concrete room with comfortable beds and air conditioning. It was difficult to leave in the morning haha. The wifi is also great.

:) absolutely loved it. the rooms are simple but very modern and timeless. u get beautiful clean beach towels and the bathrooms/showers are super nice. nicest i have seen - even in the dorms. there s a common area to cook so u can get ur own food and prepare meals but its also surrounded by cute places in case u re too lazy. the staff is amazing - very kind and ready to help you out at anytime. mellow s got alot of space so u can find a silent corner to read or listen to music but also alot of people to hangout with and chill. they organise barbecue nights and little trips daily so u get to explore with a group in case u rather not do it alone. its 1 min to the beach by walking with bresthtaking sunsets. if you are a surfer there s alot of places u can go plus they got a super cool surf instructor in case you haven’t yet. obviously loved it. its the perfect place to relax & fill up your batteries with smiles, salty skin and sandy feet.
