My stay at the Well was nothing short of exceptional. The attention to detail in every aspect of the experience, from the exquisite room design (I had an outdoor shower) to the wonderfully maintained garden area, showcased a commitment to the needs of any type of traveller coming down south in Sri Lanka. The staff went above and beyond, anticipating my needs (unfortunately I had a surgery on my lower back few days before my arrival) before I even realized them. The ambiance throughout the Well exuded sophistication. It's not just a place; it's THE place to stay for anyone who loves a day by the beach and the smell of the jungle! Thanks a lot to Sam, Till, Yannick & Rick for making my vacation a hell of a blast! I will definitely be back soon!

I had a very good stay at this hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the room was clean and comfortable with everything I needed for a pleasant stay. The location is convenient, close to Kabalana Beach, which made it easy to get around. Overall, it was a nice experience and good value for the money. I would be happy to stay here again.

We stayed at this hostel for three nights and had the most incredible experience, thanks to our wonderful host, Asanka. From the moment we arrived, he treated us like family. A former tour guide and an excellent chef, Asanka was always eager to share his knowledge, cooking skills, and travel tips—completely free of charge. He took us on a memorable sightseeing trip to Galle, stopping at beautiful hidden gems along the way, and even arranged tuk-tuks for us at great local prices. Whenever we wanted food, he was happy to cook for us, and the meals were delicious. The bed and breakfast was fantastic—clean, comfortable, and homely. Asanka went above and beyond to ensure we were always comfortable. He was quick to fix the Wi-Fi, brought us extra fans without hesitation, and even offered us a stay in the air-conditioned apartment at no extra cost. His support didn’t stop when we left the hostel either—he stayed in touch via WhatsApp to help us with travel advice for the rest of our trip around Sri Lanka. His wife, Nirosha, was also incredibly kind and did our laundry with great care for a very reasonable price. Asanka was truly the best Sri Lankan “friend and dad” we could have asked for. Staying here was a highlight of our trip, and we’ll never forget the incredible hospitality we were shown.

I loved my stay here. The rooms were large and airy , there were good spots to hang out in and the whole space was comfortable with a touch of laid back luxury. The bathrooms were super clean and large . I loved the vibe. You can walk out of the back gate , straight on to the beach which was amazing, especially as you could just pop out to enjoy all the sunsets. The staff were also very kind and helpful. I didn't want to leave.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
