Amazing hostel, perfect for solo travellers as it’s super social with activities daily, without being a party hostel. It’s super clean and feels safe :)

Social clean and comfy stay. Had a ball !

Everything - we enjoyed the family dinner, sunset beach volleyball and jungle party during our stay. Also got some great recommendations from the team about where to see turtles and other activities on offer around the place. Central location and could hire bikes next door to easily get around everywhere. Dorms were clean and comfortable. People were great. Until next time!

Loved being back at HH, would highly recommend to all backpackers visiting Hiriketiya!

Second time at Happy Hammocks, and I loved being back. The atmosphere created by the staff and reps is always world class. It’s a great environment for backpackers to socialise and create new friendships. Never a dull moment here with the variety of activities being ran by the team!

Happy Hammocks is a brilliant hostel especially for socializing, they have activities every night and a group chat which makes it great for meeting new people and knowing what’s on! The beds are comfy in the forms also with curtains

Nice spot near the beach

Only stayed here for one night but it was pleasant! Room is basic but well equipped, fan & aircon. Shower and toilet is outside which was pretty cool & beautiful! Staff were friendly & it felt quite social. An easy 10 min walk to Dikwella beach & 15 to Hiriketiya

Really good hostel. The rooms were clean, comfy, and I thought spacious for dorm rooms. I really enjoyed the social vibes - there were plenty of things organised by the hostel, like a family dinner and various nights out, and the pool table there is a big plus. The location is a bit away from the beach (10min walk or so), but that's great because it's away from the noisier busy parts of town.
