Thin walls, so high noise levels from outside.

Very social! Delicious breakfast and super kind + generous staff. Room cleanliness is okay

We had some problems with dog during the night, he tried to get into our room.

The staff were very friendly a helpful. Welcome drink and breakfast were very nice. The price quality is good.

Beds were pretty noisy and the bathroom was a bit far away and a bit lacking.

The staff are super lovely here, and they’ve created a really nice vibe where you meet a lot of other backpackers. Also loved the welcome drink - papaya and lime juice - and the banana pancake breakfast included. Great location walking distance to lion rock. They also organised a pretty affordable jeep safari for us.

Staff and location

Stayed in December 2024

No AC hence it was super hot in the day time, mosquitos issues, bed were not that comfortable, food and water were expensive. Prefer to buy water from the super market.

Location wise excellent, food was good, washroom was clean and fine.

If you’re not a smoker, I don’t recommend this hostel.

Good location. Offered a tuk tuk ride for fee to make most of time in the area.

If sleep is important to you, you’re gonna have to ask people not to sit next to the dorm wall because you’ll hear everything even with earplugs. And also ask that the music get’s turned down when you’re about to sleep.

The owner treated everyone staying here as a family, he took us fishing next to the lake, we cooked and ate together so we basically got free cooking class and lunch. He also took some people out to eat. Overall very kind and fun people, trying their best even with the language barrier. The location is great and you can also buy food at the hostel so it’s very convenient.

Top bunk is a bit perilous and squeaky

It’s cheap so it’s pretty basic but I really enjoyed it here. The host makes such an effort to get everyone socialising - as soon as I go there he invited me along to a cheap safari with some of the other guests. This is the kind of place where it’d be hard to not make friends! That said, the pics are a little misleading as there’s only 8 beds in the dorm so it’s an intimate kind of social vibe The restaurant/lounge space was a fun place to hang out and the dogs are very sweet The staff were hospitable and keen to put food and drink down in front of you. Loved the pancakes for breakfast and the kottu. It was raining so I didn’t go but I get the impression there’s a sunrise trip to the viewpoint every day which would have been cool. Location good - right near the village, bus station, and lion rock.

Small beds (180 cm), so if you're tall, than it's not going to be comfortable

Look, if you want very comfortable rooms and beds it's not the place for you (bed size 180 cm). But if you're looking for a cheap stay, very chill and friendly staff, affordable, tasty food and local experience this is 100% place for you. Owner is the most chill guy on whole Sri Lanka and he will show you around and give great advice for the rest of your stay on the island.

Nice place, very cheerful energy and patio with tables very close to the street of all the restaurants and close to lion rock. The owner is very friendly and makes you feel at home. Loves reggae and music and chatting and will pass that on to you. very helpful and helpful with anything you need. If you are looking for a relaxed atmosphere, close by and with a bit of social movement it will suit you very well!!!

The noisy blaring noise till the night. Not advertised properly as a mixed dormitory but as a single bed in a dormitory.There is only one dormitory.

The welcome banana soothie drink. The friendly and corcerned staffs.

Our host was incredibly kind and welcoming. He took us on a fun tour of the area in his colorful tuk-tuk. But what really touched my heart was the way he looked out for me, treating me like a little brother. He'd affectionately call me 'Malli' (which means 'little brother' in his language), and his genuine warmth made me feel like part of the family.

Nights can be hot their, but it’s not unbearable…

This place is great to spend a few days in sigiriya, and lay back a little! The owner, his son and his wife are very friendly. They offer many different activities for a good price. Breakfast is included and excellent… You get to meet many people there too!

The toilets - the cistern sprayed onto the shower area when it flushed which is obviously really unhygienic. They could do with a sink and mirror outside the rooms for people to brush teeth/wash face etc as there was often a long wait if someone was showering etc.

The staff were so welcoming! Lemonade on arrival was a great addition and good vibes. Free breakfast was yummy.

The atmosphere and the host make it very special. Both unique and enjoyable to be there. The family there are lovely and very caring, especially the host and “Uncle” who we got to spend time with. Would recommend to anyone wanting a fun stay. Thanks again!
