I arrived at this hostel to spend one night and ended up 4 and leaving was completely heartbroken 🥹❤️‍🩹It is a family hostel where I felt like one of the family, I am very very happy and grateful to have been lucky enough to find such a ✨special ✨place to which I will definitely return and of course recommend, because thanks to the hosts my experience in Sigiriya was spectacular🌄. So thank you very much family ❣️❣️ And wait for me because insha'Allah I will return as soon as I can🧡🐘🌴💙

It was clean and nice. Beds were comfortable and because the hostel is a bit further away from the city, you can get good night sleep!

Since the moment I arrived through the jungle path to this hostel everything was just amazing. Great and cool location (rent a bike there!! Great way to see the area). Comfy beds and nice facilities. They have it all! Tasty free breakfast and dinner for socializing, bar for drinks, organized activities, bike rental, laundry service and nice drivers you can ask for a ride (to Dambulla maybe?). And the best brunch spot called cappuccino bistro in walking distance. This hostel also really went all the way for me on my 27th birthday and organized a surprise birthday party for me with cake and everything! I felt so special and it was so nice of them. The whole stay (3 nights) the staff went all the way for guests. <3

We stayed here as a group of friends and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The host was incredible – he ordered and organised things for us, gave us loads of tips about the local area, and even went above and beyond when my friend left her bag at a bus stop. He actually tracked it down and drove it back to us! His whole family were so kind and welcoming, which made us feel completely at home. Breakfast was amazing every morning, and the beds were huge double bunks, super comfy after a long day exploring. Honestly, the host and his family made the trip for us – such a special place to stay

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.
