JJ's is a phenomenal hostel. It's a relatively big hostel, but the facilities are super clean and comfortable, and the wifi is great. There is also a fantastic vibe at the place (also partly due to the size) so there are always people around who are up for doing something fun. The volunteers are also great and really add to the place - there is yoga every morning and at least 1x group activity organised every day. Merissa is also a perfect place to base yourself if you want to visit other beaches along the coast. I would highly recommend!

A hidden gem of a hostel! Tucked away, but worth the discovery. The host went above and beyond, making our stay truly memorable. While the road to the hostel is narrow and easy to miss, the experience is well worth it. Don't forget to turn on your maps for navigation. We'd definitely visit again - a charming retreat with exceptional hospitality!

I liked everything about this hostel. It is very well located, just some steps away from the beach; the rooms are comfortable; so are the beds in the dorms. The managers of this hostel are great people too. Nilhan and Sarath run this hostel very well; they are constantly making sure everything is ok and are very sociable and willing to help. They even organized a game night at the hostel one Friday and then a shared dinner one Saturday. I met many fellow travelers at this hostel and would definitely stay here again when in Mirissa! 10 out of 10!

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.
