    Stayed here for a night before our flight. The hosts were very nice and helpful. The room was clean and had everything you need. Only 10 minutes to the airport meant it was very useful. The pillows are quite thick, and were a bit awkward to sleep on.

    If you are looking for a quiet place near the airport on your trip to Sri Lanka, then I can highly recommend Traveler's Haven. Of all the hotels I visited, this was the most special. It is an oasis, a beautifully designed place. With a yoga/chill platform, kitchen, beautiful garden, comfortable beds and clean showers and dorms - and the price-performance ratio is top! Nalin is a great host, very friendly and puts a lot of heart and soul into his hostel. I can highly recommend this accommodation! Thank you very much Nalin!!! I wish you all the best for your life :)

    This was a one-night stopover close to the airport so for me, the location was fantastic. The bed was clean and comfortable and the dorm has good A/C. The place is nestled amongst a beautiful garden, would have loved to have spent more time here.

    Some mosquitoes in the kitchen. Obviously it's hard to do something with them. Just noticing that you can expect them especially during some specific time (before the sunset).

    Comfy beds. Light and sockets next to bed. Clean bathroom. Hot water available. Towel included. Close to the airport. Would be possible to walk there but I has to be there early so the owner arrange a tuktuk for 500 LKR.

    really nice idea for a hostel to have the rooms in the containers! AC in each of them, separate shared bathroom, nice chilling area and the kitchen available! Great spot when you need a night before your next flight!

    Nothing!

    This place is a hidden gem! From the main street and alley leading to the hostel, I wasn't expecting anything great but was pleasantly surprised. It's a really nice spacious hostel with a garden, nice art and the dorms are very clean with enough storage for your stuff. Air con is a plus! They even have a kitchen with coffee and tea. The owner is also very lovely and accommodating. Perfect distance from the airport. Highly recommend!
