Traveling in the off-season, we were the only guests, which made it feel like our own private villa. The morning yoga just a few steps away was a real highlight. A peaceful and relaxing stay overall!

Staff was sooooo friendly and helpful, community area had a ton of activities and unexpected amenities, there was a cute boutique at the front of the hostel that my sister and I purchased clothes from for gifts etc. These ladies were so nice and caring, helped us get rides and translate when we needed help. Room was nice and location was perfect, right around the corner was the beach, the main road was right there but it wasn't loud at night, and Galle was about a 25 min walk

A very welcoming and completely renovated property surrounded by greenery, very close to "Jungle Beach," a unique experience that immerses you in the true culture of Sri Lanka. Although the hostel is not currently on Google Maps, and therefore difficult to find, there is a Tuc Tuc service offered by the host who will take you from the first hostel, "Oops," to "Hanuman Heights"! Very nice! Definitely an experience to try at least once in your life.
