“Having stayed a couple of days at surfing wombats a couple of years back I knew what I was heading for, Surfing Wombats is much more than hostel it’s a way of life. Wombats attracts sociable young surfers looking to score the many epic waves located just a stones throw away from the hostel, the restaurant is famous for the best pizza’s in Sri Lanka and the social events put on draw in a crowd from miles around which makes it the perfect place to meet great people who you’ll undoubtedly meet on your travels or in the line ups. Kroot and Romina have created a wonderful refuge for the anyone seeking to explore the south west of Sri Lanka, their knowledge and contacts are invaluable when making plans. All the staff there are extremely welcoming and ensure that you have a wonderful stay.”

“Super friendly staff. We had a great time there with our 3 years old boy. Highly recommended !”

“Amazing place, super friendly staff and delicious pizza!”

“Staying in the tent was a nice experience. Even if it became pretty hot during the day it was perfectly chill at night. Location was perfect just a few minutes walking from the beach. During the day it got a bit busy in the restaurant but mostly we had a calm stay. Awesome Pizza!!”

“Good breakfast, nice staff. Pretty chill place. Big beds.”

“Atmosphere was amazing. Staff and people who stayed were so welcoming and it felt like home. I was planned to stay couple nights..ended up always coming back from little trips and overall stayed 17 nights in a dorm. Big recommendation :) p.s. they have free filtered water tap, wifi and also amazing italian restaurant!”

“The food was really good and the staff was just amazing. They made us so welcomed.”

“Lovely people running the hostel, close to the beach and... very nice pizza ;)”

“Can highly recommend! Comfy big beds, lovely staff and perfect location. We loved staying at wombats!”

“the location is very handy, walking-distance from the beach, restaurants and not next to the main road (more quiet). The owners are paying attention to the food with a chef coming from Italy, yummy smoothie bowls, homemade pizza and Friday night music. The staff is very helpful, good vibes, more of a backpack atmosphere. definitely a good price for the size of the room including A/C and hot water.”
