Hummus Hostel Hikkaduwa

I had a wonderful stay at Humus Hostel. The place is very clean and well-maintained, and it truly gives you a “home away from home” feeling. The staff are incredibly kind, friendly, and always ready to help with anything you need. The location is perfect—everything is easily reachable on foot, and there are plenty of activities nearby to enjoy. I would definitely recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay!

Das Hostel ist sehr sauber, die Lage ist perfekt, man ist in einer Minute am Meer. Da Personal ist super lieb, bei allen Fragen da. Es werden zwei Sportkurse am Tag angeboten, außerdem ist ein kleiner Fitnessbereich immer verfügbar. Die Küche ist schön groß. Wir hatten ein Family Dinner zusammen, das war sehr gut, um neue Leute kennenzulernen.

very friendly and kind stuff kitchen big rooms very clean good opportunities of socialising if wanted

The photos don't do this justice, it was so lovely, lots of thoughtful details. The staff are lovely, especially the lady behind reception, she goes above and beyond for her guests and Im so very grateful to her!

前台服务非常热情，公共区域还有饮水机，房间宽敞、干净且不临街，很安静，我们睡得很好，青旅还有浮潜的装备，附近离吃饭的地方很近，离海滩很近，我们享受了一天的住宿，感到满意。

Amazing location in front of the best wave in Hikkaduwa! Clean and comfortable room which was nice after travelling in Asia a long time and being used to not so nice rooms, these ones are as good as they look in the photos. Staff are helpful/friendly and the relaxing area is a nice place to chill.

One of the best hostels in Sri Lanka; comfortable, clean, modern, spacious and social. I booked 2 nights and ended up staying over a week. There’s a great stall opposite that does the best cheese naan and the staff are great.

Clean hotel and nice staff

Everything is clean and new, central location

Great comfortable place in hikkadua, The hostel is well maintained. Airconditioned room 24hrs Rooms not packed with bunk beds are very comfortable and spacious Bedmattress very very high quality thick and provides very deeo relaxing feeling Yoga class mornings included. Games. Large spaces to relax and meet people. Staff very welcome always somone is on site to help and assist with anything. Good community were a solo traveler like me found new friends and had a great experince.

All was good, and staff told me they are investing even more in the place to make the place even better.

Great and very social hostel, the chill areas outside the rooms were great and the tea area. The staff were so friendly and helpful and very encouraging with the social events.

The room was freezing!! You can’t control the air conditioning which I can understand sharing with others. Only 1 bathroom in a room of 6 girls wasn’t ideal.

Beautiful start to my stay in Sri Lanka! The hostel is very social yet the rooms remote from the social areas, so I could recover from the long trip and jetlag in a quiet and comfy bed. The room was always fresh and clean, the hostel is very spacious, with little chilling spaces full of jungle noises and incense smells. The hostel is surrounded by lots of nice restaurants and cafes, the main surfing point is only 5 minutes walking, and turtle beach a little less than 10 minutes so I could always come back for a little rest and friendly encounters between my surf sessions and wanderings.

I really enjoyed my stay here. The room was clean, the environment was peaceful, and the staff were always kind and supportive. Great value for money and perfect for a comfortable stay.” 💫💫💫💯

Good place to stay. Such a nice environment with all the facilities. Overall 10/10

Everything was clean and new, central location front of the beach side

My stay there was truly amazing the Hostel owner is a really chilled guy and the whole atmosphere is just really welcoming and familiar Nice people, good food and well located Also the place is huge and the area for the morning Yoga is absolutly beautiful!

Good location, clean with good facilities. The owner and his brother make extra effort to ensure your stay is comfortable and that there is a friendly vibe in the hostel.

Relatively expensive for Sri Lanka, but worth the cost.

Staff were really friendly, beds were very comfortable, clean and spacious dorms, short walk to the beach, nice social area, also the food from their restaurant is delicious

The room was clean and equipped with all the necessary facilities.

Location is great and the staff is absolutely amazing. Food serve is delicious also! Rooms are spacious and beds really comfy. Also the place is very big and you have a lot of places to hang out and socialize but without forcing it. The vibe in general is great!

I ended up in a particularly messy room with people staying there long term and over NYE so the room and bathroom were not properly cleaned, but I think it was more of an exception. I would add some curtains to the beds for privacy though if possible.

Great atmosphere

Very nice, clean, social hostel and owners are helpful and polite.

very clean hostel and comfortable beds, food was amazing 🤩

nothing

Super friendly owner and quite new hostel.

Wifi quality sometimes challenging.

The nature of this hostel was amazing. Excellent workers. Very good food and clean rooms.

Hummus hostel is amazing! The location is great, the beach is just across the road, the beach where you can swim with huge turtles is just couples minutes walking, lots of shops and cafes around. The guys in the hostel are super nice and kind and provide with all the necessary information. The rooms are cozy and clean and fresh. The bed is comfortable with snow white bed linen. What does a traveller need? Just a home away from home. And Hummus hostel is exactly like this

Owners hospitaity was awesome and the Palestinian breakfast menu was great!

Good location. We stayed in the low season so a litle less guests and still nice vibe. Big thanks to the owner who was realy nice with all recomendations and also lended us a bike :)

Nothing realy :) Maybe ta the wifi didnt work as good as we hoped but we didnt realy need it and the bathroom has a strong perfume inside.

best hostel in hikkaduwa :) our private room was big, super clean and comfortable, I had the best shower in sri lanka, with hot water!! the hostel is also big and has many spaces to chill, do yoga, playing games (they have an amazing beerpong ;)) you will never be bored! there’s also a restaurant and a salon downstairs, I dif my hair there and I couldn’t be happier with the result!! also oday, the owner, is just amazing🫶🏼 he is so welcoming and friendly, we really spend a good time with him! also, he recommended us the best places in hikkaduwa and nearby, so thanks to him we had delicious meals, saw the best sunsets and visited the best places in the city, I strongly recommend this hostel :) we’ll come back for sure!

Everything was great, good welcome, good stay, nice location, close to great restaurants and shops. The staff gave nice recommendations,… it was low season so there weren’t a lot of people.

Nothing.

Lovely owners, the food is delicious. I went in off season so it wasn’t very busy but I could tell it was a nice environment! I would recommend!

Pros: We stayed in a private room and the bed was really comfortable and the room was spacious. The staff were really friendly and the location was central.

Cons: We were hoping for morning yoga, which was one of the reasons we booked this hostel but unfortunately the receptionist advised us they don’t offer this anymore. We also happened to come in a quiet spell as we hardly saw any other travellers and therefore it wasn’t a very social hostel.

The dorms are super clean and extremely comfy. It's on the main road and has access to everything one needs. The food option in the hostel is limited but definitely tasty.

It was clean, air conditioning worked well, and it was walking distance from the beaches I wanted to visit.

It’s right by the main road, so it can get noisy when cars are driving by, but you don’t hear this noise from the rooms luckily.

The place was very clean, and everyone was astonishingly friendly. My boyfriend was sick, and they went above and beyond to make us/him feel comfortable. A really nice place we would recommend again. One of the best stays in Sri Lanka! It's just about 20min walk to Sigiriya, but you can also take a cheap tuktuk. Both are nice options:-)

We were at the ground floor, where the wifi was very bad.

All was amazing : Food, people, location, comfort ! Nice hostel to begin my Sri lankan Journey ❤️ The owner is really kind and try his best to make our stay the best as possible that's more than appreciated !

Can I say nothing ? 😂

The staff and atmosphere were phenomenal, we had a lovely experience.

The cleanliness of the rooms and the bathrooms could have been improved.

Great staff and really clean, so close to everything !

love this hostel! the staff is very helpful, the dorms are nice and there are lots of restaurants and cafés within walking distance

It was a really nice experience ! I met many new friends that I hope to see again in Sri Lanka or somewhere else ! Partying together, eating together, going to the beach together Also, the Yoga in the morning is a nice activity offered by the hostel and food is amazing!

Absolutely nothing

Excellent location in the town so close to the beach and restaurants. I stayed in the female dorm which was comfortable, good air/con, comfy beds and good pillows. Your own outlet plug and light per bed is great (would be even more awesome to have curtains put in!). The ensuite was good to have, there were places to sit outside on the balcony which was nice. Wifi was excellent and worked well in the dorms too. Staff were friendly and helpful, always offered to make me a coffee. I liked the clothes drying racks in the room and outside, very handy to dry wet clothes. I met some lovely ladies in the dorm that I hung out with during my stay.

The hostel wasn’t as social as I thought! The common areas were always quiet and I only met people through my dorm. Maybe some comfy couches in the common areas and planned social hostel activities would encourage more use of the common areas and meeting people. I paid for laundry service here and I’m not sure they used soap cause my clothes didn’t smell too fresh after which was disappointing. The ensuite bathroom in the dorm could use more tidying throughout the day or provide a squeegee for guests to wipe the water, the floor was always wet and sandy. Room needs some maintenance: Sink was clogged and wouldn’t drain, bathroom door doesn’t lock, the underbed locker on my bed was broken, the curtain rod also broke, some of the bunks could use some strengthening cause they really moved a lot when climbing onto the top bed.

The beds, pillows, bathroom & free tea

No towels

Great people and clean, comfortable rooms.

Absolutely the best time here. Really great staff and it has such a comfortable vibe. Made really great friends here. The food is top notch!

Best hostel I've ever stayed in Sri Lanka!Comfortable bed and pillows, clean and spacious room/bathroom. Guys created a great atmosphere so you feel welcomed right away. Thanks to that everyone is kind and friendly to each other, which makes it perfect for solo travellers.

Nothing

Great location Great staff

Wifi doesnt work. Although they have wifi, dont count with it Shower was cold several times

Amazing host that brings a great vibe to the place.

Nice owner Comfortable beds

It is located near the main street and noisy. This mainly affects the outdoor area. In the rooms, it is not too bothersome.

We got a room upgrade, which gave us loads of space and a really cool private balcony. The bathroom was also big. Good central location to restaurants and the beach. Owner gave great recommendations for places to eat. Quite for a hostel but there was things going on if you felt like sociable.

Nothing. Would love it if there was a pool but for the price we paid and the beach across the road it’s not necessary.

Great place. I was there for christmas. The owner Odi organized a Christmas Dinner, so nice. Met there a lot of nice people, enjoyed spending time with.

A charming host who set such a good vibe, very social, very chill, very nice hostel in a great location! And the food was absolutely delicious!

There’s nothing to complain about.

The relaxed and social vibe was great as a solo traveller, right on the Main Street close to ATM, supermarket and restaurants. A very clean hostel with washing machine free of charge.

I loved my stay at the Hummus Hostel, the location is perfect across from the beach and close to a bus stop. We stayed in a dorm room which was spacious, clean and comfortable definitely one of the best rooms we’ve stayed in during our trip. There’s a welcoming social seating area with super comfy chairs, various games are available too…food is served on an evening which is just delicious and a highlight of the stay! Mr Hummus and his staff are the best

Nothing I can think of

The property itself is really nice and super clean. There is a great communal area to socialise with other guests and the staff are all lovely. There is also a restaurant downstairs that serves really delicious food. The location is perfect, seconds away from the beach!

Nothing I can think of.

Good vibe

Good rum

The staff was friendly, there is a touch of "home" in the hostel. It has very nice wide spaces, comfortable rooms! I got me a nice balcony :D Oday was extremely friendly, helped me get medicine when I was getting sick, and gave a few indications for cool places around! The location was very convenient and accessible from the main road.

Nothing worth mentioning at all! Just a general recommendation for traveling in Sri Lanka, close the windows to avoid insects/mosquitos!

Owner really nice guy, Awesome facility, rooms clean and tidy, really nice spot. 5 min walk to main reef surf spot

The environment was amazing, great location and near for beach and everything. Good value for money Food is delicious and tasty Staff so friendly

Great location close to the beach and the centre of town. Large clean and comfortable beds and a Oday is a very welcoming host.

Nothing! I was concerned about road noise as a light sleeper but it wasn’t an issue at all :)

Very clean place The owner Odia was the best person ever At night they make The best Hummus try it ! I would definitely come back again .. 🍉

Absolutely nothing

I had an amazing and a really comfortable stay. The host is very sweet and welcoming!! Also you get yummy hummus and koftas, thats like cherry on top! :)

Mostly I don't write review..But hummus is amazing..The owner is wonderful person..He knows how to run the hostel.. very helpful..The cleaness is 100%..Free water. coffee. green tea.hot water machine..24 hours available.. Location is incredible..I will come back Hikkaduwa only because Hummus hostel..

Very comfortable. Good people!

Such a friendly host! Super clean, with great facilities. It's a vibe :)

Generous and very helpful host! Went out of his way to accomodate our middle of the night arrival! Free tea and coffee which was awesome and it’s walking distance to turtle beach in Hikkaduwa! Clean and comfortable spacious room! Would stay again!

Everything! The staff made sure I was happy and attended to at all times, it made me feel safe and comfortable. The accomodation was clean bright and welcoming with a lot of chill space. The location was perfect, a cheap taxi away from surrounding areas and literally across the road from the beach which is beautiful also. A lot of food places near by but the hotel is building a restaurant and shisha lounge which will be completed soon and it’s just going to take this place to the next level! Plenty party places near by also. Good place to meet people as a solo traveller.

Nothing

Incredible hostel! Facilities are great, AC and lots of room. Is a really beautiful space. I also love being able to wash/hang your own laundry. Highly recommend, would love to stay again.

Great hostel and good location. Owner was super nice and flexible for my checking in/out. Would definitely recommend this 👍

Great location close to the beaches and modern rooms. Udi was very helpful! Thanks a lot!

The owner here is one of the nicest people you would meet and made us a meal from his home. The hostel is super clean and is massive with loads of potential

A new resort, in a central location. The room was very quiet, considering it's near the main road. Host is super kind. There is a motorbike parking area, free water and tea, lounge to rest, and the balconies are awesome.

The restaurant could already have been open, but that's not the resort's fault, whatsoever.
