One of the best hostel experiences i've had in sri lanka. highly recommend! the rooms are very comfortable and there's AC. The location is perfect, you can walk to the beach in a few minutes and you'll be close to all the restaurants. Besides that, you'll have the most wonderful, kindest and loving two ladys who will take care of you like you're family. You'll feel at home here. Any problem you might have, they will help you! Also we were invited for dinner everyday, with homemade delicious meals! Everyone i've met there ended up extending their stay because the hostel and the vibes so nice. I didnt want to leave this place!!

I had a wonderful stay at this guest house. The street is calm and feels very safe, which made coming and going super comfortable. Inside, the atmosphere is just perfect — warm, welcoming, and full of life without ever being too much. The presence of the aunts and children creates a homely, vibrant energy that makes you feel instantly at ease. It’s a great place to relax, whether you're solo or with friends. The guest house is dog-friendly, and their two adorable dogs add to the warm, welcoming vibe. Losan also organized several great activities for us — snorkeling, diving, sunset outings with guests from a friendly guest house, and even some lovely apéros. It really helped create a fun and social atmosphere without ever feeling forced. I had both breakfast and dinner during my stay — everything was delicious! Special mention for the spicy biryani: full of flavor and absolutely satisfying. This place strikes the perfect balance between being alive and peaceful — ideal for anyone looking to recharge without feeling isolated. 100% recommend this place!

The hosts are incredible. Every employee there does such a fantastic job. It's run very smoothly with all needs of the guest being anticipated. The rooms are kept clean everyday, the daily group dinners are cheap and incredible, and also an amazing way to meet other guests. I am generally not one for hostels but the vibe here is incredible and the people you'll meet here will be lovely. A walk from the most popular beachfront bar/restaurant in upuvelli. If you're looking for a private room or a dorm you will not be disappointed.

Lali's place is enchanting and peaceful. Rooms surround a lovely garden with ammoks. Shady spots outside rooms and under a patio to enjoy the breeze. Room clean with large bathroom and window. Cozy bed and good fan. Five minutes to the amazing Uppuveli beach and close to restaurants and all kind of shops. A quarter of hour bus from interesting Tricomalee town. But indeed, what I appreciated most of this place was Lalinda the host. A marvellous person, heartful, kind and helpful. Passionate with his place and his job, it was a immense honour being his guest. I do thank him and wish all the best.

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.

Great vibe and wonderful freindly staff. Great hostel with large dormitory rooms and fab air com and was spotless and well maintained. Cool garden chilling area and two minute walk from beach. Crocodile tour and sunset was awesome. Great value for money and highly recommend. Thanks to all the staff.
