Greta and I had an amazing stay at Jungle Host hostel. Diwa and chuti were welcoming and super fun. They brought us everywhere and let us experience a lot of typical Sri Lankan culture, like the liquer, food, games, religion, culture etc. From the moment we arrived, we got immediately invited to join the trip to the secret waterfalls and many other activities in the following days. We won’t spoil yet, book your stay here if you want to discover more! We will definitely come back :) Ps. Also a great hostel if you wanna have nice travel pictures, because Diwa is a great photographer;)

The owner was so helpful and sweet, and her food was really good. Down the road there's also a nice restaurant and everything was quite close, 2 nights was the perfect amount.

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!

We absolutely loved our stay here! The room was amazing - super spacious and so comfortable - we even extended an extra night. It felt like we were in a safari lodge! It was so quiet and peaceful. The staff are also amazing and the meals were incredible! Thank you!

Honestly one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at during my time in Sri Lanka. The place is clean and comfortable, breakfast was always delicious, and the one dinner I had there turned out to be the best meal of my trip — tasty, generous, and great quality. What really made it special was the people. Maliya was so kind and helpful, always there if I needed anything. He even took me to a beautiful sunset spot nearby and walked me to the bus stop when I checked out. Those small gestures really meant a lot and made the stay unforgettable. Highly recommend this place!

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

I had a great stay close to nature in the shared room with 5 beds and connected bathroom. Great common area a few meters from the room. For me it was almost like a homestay, because of the hosts (and families) friendliness. The host showed me around the area, including touristy and non-touristy spots, that were almost more impressive, since I would not have discovered them any other way. I can highly recommend staying in Sigirya Rastha hostel and get to know the area through a locals eyes.

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.
