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!

Only good notes here. Mario is extremely helpful host, he gave us tons of very useful advice about Srí Lanka, also he helped to pin down the perfect travel itinary plan around the country. He offers free ride to the airport, but if you would like to discover Negombo and/or the surrounding area, he is the perfect guide also. He arranges a nice trip to the nearby river, which was really beautiful! Highly recommend this place, a perfect spot to arrive to / or before leaving Srí Lanka. Also the room was super clean, with a mini kitchenette area (sink, kettle), the bed and bedsheet were super comfy.

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 location near airport! Ashan made sure I could arrive safely late at night and gave me heaps of advice on getting around Sri Lanka. I came back again at the end of my time in the country and he was super helpful in making sure I got to the airport in the early morning! The room was nice and clean. Lovely stay thank you so much!!!
