The hosts are incredible. Every employee there does such a fantastic job. It's run very smoothly with all needs of the guest being anticipated. The rooms are kept clean everyday, the daily group dinners are cheap and incredible, and also an amazing way to meet other guests. I am generally not one for hostels but the vibe here is incredible and the people you'll meet here will be lovely. A walk from the most popular beachfront bar/restaurant in upuvelli. If you're looking for a private room or a dorm you will not be disappointed.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great vibe and wonderful freindly staff. Great hostel with large dormitory rooms and fab air com and was spotless and well maintained. Cool garden chilling area and two minute walk from beach. Crocodile tour and sunset was awesome. Great value for money and highly recommend. Thanks to all the staff.
