The hosts were the best! Absolutely gorgeous and engaging Judith, and soft & sweet Isuru. Don't forget their kids :) Also, the fellow travellers there. They were all repeat customers - and for good reason.

Amazing property with clean, comfortable and welcoming place! One of the best stays in Sri Lanka for sure! Owner of the hostel is a great guy to communicate with and welcomes you in from the first day on:) Definitely would stay longer if I could but I found them later in stage after staying in Hotel for the first 2 nights. Would rather switch to this Hostel as it feels like Hotel👍🏻

Really nice and clean place to stay. The bed was super comfortable and the AC was perfect. Brand new guesthouse well located right between unawatuna and Galle so easy access to both (40 rupees in bus to either) Also only a few minutes walk to Bonavista beach, many places to eat nearby and it’s less touristic area so some good local places to choose from.

This is a wonderful place to stay. Since the first moment when I arrived I felt the nice vibes of this hostel. It's clean, comfy and there are some nice people working there. They so organize many group events and activities, so it's perfect when you want to socialize. Also the owner literary saved me when my laptop stopped working and he offered me to use his spare one. Loved staying here and I will definitely be back! :)

One of the best hostels I stayed in! The owner is very passionate and lovely, the place is new with all the facilities needed, everything is super clean and neat, the rooms are spacious and beautifully designed. The location is great, close to the central bus station, the train station, and the fort area is walking distance.

All hostels in Unawatuna

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

I can honestly say that this was the best hostel I’ve stayed at in Sri Lanka. The whole building, including the rooms, was so clean and stylish. The location was perfect because you’re amidst the jungle away from the crowd and noise, yet only a short walk to the beach. The staff are all lovely and caring - the best hospitality standard I’ve come across. Plus the food is freshly made… authentic Arabic dishes that taste incredible! This place has my heart! I booked 2 nights but ended up staying 5! Thank you Habibi team 🌷🌀💗
