Reviewed Sep 14, 2026Super nice vibe. The whole team is super nice. Clean rooms with good ac bathroom (also extra outside showers). The food is good, common area was nice to meet people.
It was a bit far out of town, the offer free tuktuk into town but getting back you had to walk or get a tuktuk. Also the bed was not that good

Reviewed Aug 18, 2026Que dire de ce merveilleux hostel ! Un séjour mémorable à Arugam Bay grâce à eux. Tout le staff propose des activités constamment, entre skate, cours de salsa, cricket, quizz, salle de sport et sorties le soir! Cela permet de rencontrer facilement des gens! L’hostel n’est pas dans le centre mais des tuktuks gratuits permettent d’aller dans le centre. Leur gentillesse est inégalée, le service est impeccable, les chambres et salles de bains sont très propres (bonus AC). Le petit déjeuner est délicieux! Un hostel formidable que je conseille à tout le monde :)

Reviewed Jul 23, 2026La meilleure auberge que j’ai jamais faite: des infrastructures haut de gamme et neuves (skatepark, gym), un lit en dortoir confortable, ménage quotidien, douches ouvertes très agréables, etc. Mais surtout un personnel adorable et des super activités proposées en continu pour rencontrer plein de nouvelles têtes

Reviewed May 25, 2026THE BEST HOSTEL IVE BEEN IN. After 8 month of traveling Asia this is the place I felt at home. It offers everything I could ask for, Amazing and friendly staff with Siraj and the boys that made me feel so welcomed. Clean good rooms, amazing surfskate park and free skateboards to use ! Also they have surfboard rentals and everything you could possibly ask for. It’s not a question, if you come to Sri Lanka, come here. Truly thanksfull for every one there ❤️🙏
Everything is perfect

Reviewed Apr 28, 2024A very social hostel with a great atmosphere and a great staff. The manager is very kind and helpful, he gives us many tips on things to do on the area and takes us to surfing lessons in the morning if we want. In the evening we all gather around a tasty family dinner cooked by the staff. There's even a skate park in the hostel ! Good location at 15min by walk from town-center and close to several beach in a quiet stress ! Bathrooms and dorms are clean with fans above each bed or AC. I highly recommend this place !

Reviewed Apr 12, 2024Really friendly hostel. Siraj the owner was a great host. Very attentive and made sure the guests were always doing well. Meant to stay 3 days but ended up extending three times!

Reviewed Sep 20, 2023Personell, the lockers, the skate area, the relaxed vibe and the availability to bring you to places with the tuktuk. You can also rent a scooter and a surfboard that can be mounted on a scooter so that's really nice!
The location Is not entirely ideal. It's not that far but still a bit away from the main point that walking to the main areas might take a while.

Reviewed Aug 25, 2023I came to this place by chance as a first time guest and couldn't have decided on a better place to stay. This place has absolutely everything i needed and even more (skate bowl, surfboard rent,delicious food, transport to surf breaks, good vibe ,clean accommodation and I could go on ....) The best hotel I've been to in my travels around Asia 🤙😜
