    Relatively expensive for Sri Lanka, but worth the cost.

    Good location, clean with good facilities. The owner and his brother make extra effort to ensure your stay is comfortable and that there is a friendly vibe in the hostel.

    Hummus hostel is amazing! The location is great, the beach is just across the road, the beach where you can swim with huge turtles is just couples minutes walking, lots of shops and cafes around. The guys in the hostel are super nice and kind and provide with all the necessary information. The rooms are cozy and clean and fresh. The bed is comfortable with snow white bed linen. What does a traveller need? Just a home away from home. And Hummus hostel is exactly like this

    It’s right by the main road, so it can get noisy when cars are driving by, but you don’t hear this noise from the rooms luckily.

    It was clean, air conditioning worked well, and it was walking distance from the beaches I wanted to visit.

    The hostel wasn’t as social as I thought! The common areas were always quiet and I only met people through my dorm. Maybe some comfy couches in the common areas and planned social hostel activities would encourage more use of the common areas and meeting people. I paid for laundry service here and I’m not sure they used soap cause my clothes didn’t smell too fresh after which was disappointing. The ensuite bathroom in the dorm could use more tidying throughout the day or provide a squeegee for guests to wipe the water, the floor was always wet and sandy. Room needs some maintenance: Sink was clogged and wouldn’t drain, bathroom door doesn’t lock, the underbed locker on my bed was broken, the curtain rod also broke, some of the bunks could use some strengthening cause they really moved a lot when climbing onto the top bed.

    Excellent location in the town so close to the beach and restaurants. I stayed in the female dorm which was comfortable, good air/con, comfy beds and good pillows. Your own outlet plug and light per bed is great (would be even more awesome to have curtains put in!). The ensuite was good to have, there were places to sit outside on the balcony which was nice. Wifi was excellent and worked well in the dorms too. Staff were friendly and helpful, always offered to make me a coffee. I liked the clothes drying racks in the room and outside, very handy to dry wet clothes. I met some lovely ladies in the dorm that I hung out with during my stay.
