The place is cute, the surf spot in the front is really nice for intermediates and advanced. The breakfast is nice, hosts are really friendly. You can get to Ahanghama by bus but if you go out you will have to take a tuktuk to come back.

“Good vibes direct at sea!”
Great relaxing spot in front of the sea. We stayed in a double room, which was spacious and had a balcony. Possible to surf there (we didn't do it here). We had a fantastic yoga class here though for a good price! Possible to walk into center of town in less than 20 min or take tuctuc. Chami was wonderful and so helpful - thanks!!

The vibe is really cool, chill place. Can rent surf boards there, get surfing lessons from the owner, theres a yoga on a rooftop and the hostel is literally just across the road from the beach.

I visited off-season (mid-May) and I really enjoyed my stay! I booked the room with a view and it was the most comfortable room in this price range in Sri Lanka. I enjoyed the yoga class on the roof and waves just across the street! It's right on the main road so you can catch a bus to Ahangama or Galle. Small shop is just around the corner. Chani was taking a good care of me and Samba the dog was a cute companion.

“Great place to stay, very friendly hosts.”
The hostel had a great family vibe! They organised plenty of activities and really made you feel welcome. Great place to stay if you like surfing and has easy access into nearby towns such as Midigama, Unawatuna & Galle.

Really social hostel with a surfspot infront of the door. It’s located a bit outside of Ahangama, but you can reach the city easily by bus

“Best Vibes I've found at a hostel in Sri Lanka”
Witin 5 minutes I was in love with this place. The energy, the music, the friendly staff all attract guests who enjoy the same things: simplicity and good vibes. I liked it so much that I decided to become a volunteer here for two weeks.

“Not worth the money, dirty bathroom, not again!!”
The breakfast was the only nice thing. For surfers there is a spot opposite of the place that is supposedly nice, we did not check that out.

“Best hostel - I’ve extended my stay (like all people who visit it)”
Beautiful hostel with an amazing energy direct at the beach. I love all about it. It’s so relaxed, hippie, super social & you can feel the love in every detail. Food is good & people are nice.
