    I stayed here twice during my time in Sri Lanka. The hosts were really accommodating and helped me when I arrived at 12am and 5am checking me in. They were very friendly and helped me with any questions I had about Negombo.

    Cant think of anything. The owner is installing some curtains soon on the beds in the dorm.

    The boys took great care of me during my stay. The house is super clean, it's close to everything and there is a few nice restaurants around. The owner and a few other boys are lifeguards and they offer to go for a swim with them. Its super nice and if you need any info for anything they'll help out!

    Lovely hostel to start or end your journey in Sri Lanka. The rooms are very clean and the host Asiri makes you feel very welcome. Right near the beach and centre of Negombo!

    The best place to get a local experience.

    I stayed for three nights in this hostel, and I believe it’s the best place to get a local experience. It’s a small hostel, not like a five-star hotel, but what makes it stand out is the personalized service. The staff gave us detailed information about the country and helped us plan our journey. They even arranged a boat safari to Muthurajavela National Park, where we saw monkeys, a crocodile, and many birds, as well as the Dutch Canal and lagoon. I’ll definitely come back before I leave Sri Lanka again!

    The fact that we had to say goodbye

    Asiri really made my stay one to not easily forget! It felt more like a homestay than a hostel because the hostel is small he was always there and involved with whatever me and my roommates were doing. So genuine, helpful, took us out for local food, loads of fun conversations, he made us feel like home. Would recommend 10/10!!

    I had a wonderful stay at this hostel. It has a cozy and homely atmosphere, accommodating just eight people, which made it feel quite personal. The location is fantastic – only 500 meters away from the public beach, restaurants, pubs, and a supermarket. Everything you need is within walking distance. The hostel itself was clean and well-maintained. Plus, it was great value for the price we paid. Overall, a great place to stay!
