    Stayed in the 4 bed female dorm for 4 nights and had a great time. The hostel is steps away from the beach and walking distance to some really great restaurants. The room I stayed in had its own bathroom and AC which was major compared to the hangover in Ella. The beds were comfortable and the room was cleaned each day I was there. The family dinner was great the 2 times it happened but the pregame before the “pub crawl” could have been better. It was very boring (card games/jenga) and did not really hype up or get everyone in the mood or the night. The parties in the area are a hit or miss depending on the type of music you enjoy. Other than that, the workers are very kind and provided me with information on how to get back to negombo.

    My experience here was amazing from start to finish due to the kindness and hospitality of all who work there as well as a very clean and comfortable hostel! Great location on the main street of Mirissa. Thanks so much to Isu and Harsha for making the stay so memorable and a big shout out to Chandni the greatest volunteer ever! I will be back whenever I return to Mirissa!

    The manager Sarath is the best host you could ask for. He really likes to look after his guests in a fun and comfortable environment. I would highly recommend staying here. Location wise you only have to cross the road to gain access to the beach, ideal for those relaxing days. There are organized nights out to the doctors house from the hostel which brings a fun party aspect as well if that is what you also look for.

    I liked everything about this hostel. It is very well located, just some steps away from the beach; the rooms are comfortable; so are the beds in the dorms. The managers of this hostel are great people too. Nilhan and Sarath run this hostel very well; they are constantly making sure everything is ok and are very sociable and willing to help. They even organized a game night at the hostel one Friday and then a shared dinner one Saturday. I met many fellow travelers at this hostel and would definitely stay here again when in Mirissa! 10 out of 10!

    Location is perfect and the breakfast was good. AC in the room and the common area was nice 🙂 good bathroom with hot shower. The manager was very friendly and helpful! And it was clean, so I recommend this place.

    The hostel owner was incredibly welcoming, and you could always have free tea and coffee whenever you wanted, which I rarely saw in hostels during my time in Sri Lanka. There was a great social vibe, and we had a lot of fun together. All the main attractions were within walking distance, and the room, bathroom, and toilet were all clean. The bed was comfortable as well.

    One of the best hostels I've been to. The staff is just amazing, really nice and helpful. Location is perfect, just across the road from the beach. Good place for socializing, they sometimes organise activities and meals ( which were also amazing, the curry buffet was incredible). The rooms were clean, mattress was very comfortable.

    The street can be loud at night, but we knew that before.

    Basic room in a sweet, family style hostel! Perfect locations just a minute from the beach, shops and restaurants close by. Sarath and Nilhan are taking good care of the guests! They hosted a family dinner for us and arranged for pre drinks and transportation to a party. Laundry service, easy access to rent scooters and contact to surf schools possible :)
