Coco Mango Hostel

The feeling of the hostel with kind people and gentle animals is just so lovely. It has all you need; a kitchen, comfortable seating inside and out, warm water if you need.... And it is so well placed for the bus. Obviously, everything in Hiriketiya is walkable but it is also nice that Dikwella is so close too. We couldn't ask for more, especially after I left my ear buds and Venera so kindly contacted me to say so. Very kind.

Ich war mehr als eine Woche in der Unterkunft. Man hat alles was man braucht und knüpft schnell Kontakte, da das Hostel sehr sozial ist. Es gibt ein gemütliches gemeinschaftliches „Wohnzimmer“ und zwei Haustiere. Abends waren wir immer gemeinsam am Strand Volleyball spielen und essen.

The environment, the vibe, the people, the animals One of the best hostels I've stayed, not just about the hostel the vibe there is amazing, so beautiful animals the owners are amazing and the volunteers there are doing an amazing job

I liked everything

I stayed at Coco Mango Hostel for quite a few weeks, first in December, and then I decided to return again in May because of the wonderful generosity and kindness of the owners.❤️ From the very beginning, the place felt welcoming, clean, tidy, and very well taken care of. Everything was functioning perfectly, and it was clear that a lot of love and attention goes into keeping the hostel comfortable for guests! One of the highlights is definitely the amazing kitchen, which makes it easy to feel at home. The whole team was helpful, friendly, and always available when needed. The dorms are comfortable and equipped with fans, which makes them manageable, and there is also air conditioning in the mixed dorms upstairs. I also had the chance to stay in one of the private rooms, and at the end of my stay I booked the deluxe room, which was incredibly comfortable and had everything I needed, and even more. And of course, Coco, Mango and Cashew, the animals of the hostel, are the absolute stars of the place. They truly feel like they are running the hostel and make the atmosphere even more memorable. 🫶 I would definitely recommend Coco Mango Hostel to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, friendly, and welcoming place to stay. I would and will happily come back again!

De ligging is goed en de eigenaren zijn heel aardig!

Voor ons viel het tegen omdat het niet was waar naar op zoek waren. Het is een prima plek, maar gewoon niet voor ons. Wat jammer was is dat ze op de laatste avond bedacht hadden om een DJ uit te nodigen om een feestje te geven. Heel gezellig, maar als je daar niet op zit te wachten is het vervelend dat je dan niet kan slapen. Er was geen airco dus het was heel warm in de kamer. Die hitte en slapen naast een DJ booth is niet ideaal. Maar als je als soloreiziger op zoek bent naar gezelligheid, is het een leuk hostel!

All the staff were so lovely and helpful! And their little furry friends 🐰🐶🐈 amazing locations and clean rooms Would highly reccomend!

Lovely cosy hostel. The staff are super lovely and the pets are the cutest. The hostel is well located in a peaceful area while being still close to everything.It has quite a small, intimate and social vibe so I would recommend for solo travellers

Really enjoyed my stay here. Super cute hostel, with a very friendly and social atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Das Hostel an sich war wirklich nice! Auch die Besitzerin war richtig lieb und man fühlte sich direkt wohl dort, da es bereits schon viele Gäste hatte und man direkt liebenswert aufgenommen wurde. Das Zimmer an sich reichte völlig aus und der Standort der Unterkunft war auch super, alles zu fuss erreichbar.

Leider war es für mich in der Nacht dann viel zu heiss, da es keine AC hatte, sondern nur Ventilatoren und somit musste ich meinen Aufenthalt verkürzen da ich nicht schlafen konnte. Wenn es vielleicht kühler ist wie im März/April eine top Wahl, oder wenn dir das schlafen ohne AC nichts ausmacht, ist das ein richtig cooler Ort Leute kennenzulernen ❤️

I loved my whole stay there! I was in the female dorm for a night, the bed is confortable and there is a fan for each bed so I was not hot at all. Then got upgraded to the AC room and stayed there weeks! The staff is so nice and welcoming, we did a lot of social activities and everyone was fun. I also connected with the local family next door and it was so special 🥰 the animals are adding to the warmth of the place!! Very happy to have met Venera and Nikita the owners, they created a wonderful place 🩷 I would come back for sure

I haven't stayed at the hostal. They cancelled at the last moment due to overbooking.

I loved that everyone at the hostel is super kind and it feels like home being there, also going to dinner together ❤️

. The staff was welcoming and its in a great location.

The dog barking all night. I had no sleep at all.

Je recommande !!

I cannot fault my stay at Coco Mango hostel! I couldn't help but extend my stay and could have easily done more so! By far my favourite, most comfortable stay in Sri Lanka, it seems to attract like minded, lovely people and has a wonderful warm energy. The owner is an incredibly kind and accommodating host, with genuine care towards the guests. Full of legends! Can't rate the hostel enough.

Nada!

The location was good

Old, musty, smelled bad, mould, loud, dirty

Clean and comfortable Super soft bedding

Wifi was down

Great location walking distance to everything and super friendly staff. Had more of a homestay/coliving vibe which I much preferred over some of the more hectic party hostels I stayed at in the area. Nice small social communal area to hang out or work. Bonus having a kitchen and a super friendly puppy Mango. I extended my stay too!

The non ac dorms got a little warm some nights but really not an issue for the price.

I just stayed one night but could feel good vibes.

Lovely home, friendly staff & amazing little puppy! Rooms were clean + the other guests were also very friendly, a good atmosphere all around. The kitchen is spacious & the location is very close to both beaches. Can’t fault much, expanded my stay another night & would definitely come back . (PS you will get attached to the puppy🥹)

There isn’t anything I don’t like about the property, I think the wifi/service was abit poor but other then that no complaints at all. Highly recommend

A very nice hostel in a great location, quick walk to both Dikwella and Hiriketiya beach with some nice and reasonable restaurants nearby too. The dorm was very clean with comfortable beds and enough fans to stay cool at night and lockers to keep your valuables. A cozy chill area outside to relax and chat to others and play with the very cute puppy 😊 The host is lovely and there is an overall nice vibe in the hostel. Would recommend it to anyone to stay there!

Super friendly staff, close to the beach. Even has a kitchen if you want to prepare your own food. Would highly reccomend.

Nice place to hang out. Location was perfect for us - close to Dikwella beach and shops and also close to Hiri so a great choice of restaurants and places to go. Sofa's and communal area inside and out and the dogs were nice to have around Double room had aircon, mozzie net, comfortable bed. Communal kitchen can be used. No hot water shower but didn't really need one tbh.

Seemed to be a lot of flies around. Maybe use some flypaper or something?

I had a great stay at Coco Mango Hostel. Very clean rooms (stayed in the dorm) really lovely and welcoming hosts (& volunteers) and great location. It's possible to even use the kitchen, do laundry (600rp/kg) or just chill in the common area. Would definitely recommend that place if you're looking for a cozy and family like place to stay.

The friendly atmosphere. Felt so welcomed and safe. Everyone was super chill and easy to spend time with. The beds were super comfy, in the quiet location and had a fan to keep me cool.

Everything was perfect :)

Good buget hostel, access to kitchen. Friendly atmosphere

Bathroom sink water outlet goes directly to the floor and your feet

This was my first solo travel experience, and the place felt like home, which made it even more special.

I honestly didn’t find anything to dislike. It was a great experience overall

Coco Mango Hostel is a fantastic option in Hiriketiya Beach when it comes to budget accommodation. The German guy who runs the property is super friendly and the energy with other like minded travelers is amazing! Plus, good infrastructure and great location. I totally recommend this hostel!

Friendly staff, nice location with easy reach to Hirikitiya and Pehembiya beach, great value

The owners and Julia were very friendly and welcoming. They were helpful with local tips and showing us around! Went out of their way to show us and take us places! Mosquito nets on the beds were good and spacious, own fans on the top bunk. Great location, social area to sit.

Mosquitos everywhere, in the bathroom and bedroom the windows were always open and you will get bitten going to the toilet! The whole bathroom gets very wet when you shower so the floor is always damp even at the door. We booked and paid for the AC room however when we arrived we got moved to the female dorm which had no AC, this wasn’t a big issue though as the fans were fine.

Such a perfect vibe, super close to Hiriketya beach and Dickwella beach, with heaps of eating options both touristy but also a lot of proper local eateries on the main road. Run by very lovely people who are putting time and effort into creating a really welcoming vibe - also there are three puppies here at the moment!

Good location, well equipped kitchen, staff helpful and some very cute puppies!

The staff is the friendliest of the island. We came for one night and stayed four. We hope we can come back soon.

Cosy little hostel in a nice peaceful spot, a short walk to hiriketiya beach one way and some very reasonably priced local restraunts the other way to the main road through Dickwella (breakfast, rice and curry is half the price than Hiri!). Great place for backpackers! New hosts of the hostel were lovely, warm and welcoming people and of course the puppies are absolutley adorable.

My only suggestion would be to make some yoga mats available for people to make the most of the nice little garden out front :)

Good vibe, good location! Very cool people hosting this place. A really great option to stay in Hiri, everything within walking distance and the price is unbeatable

Nothing

Good Bed, good living, spacious kitchen, spacious outdoor space, cute coco and mongo (thats surprise). Met two friends whos runs business. I stayed 6 nights. Thats was wonderful.

best price / quality rate what I found in Hirketiya. Close to all the main spots, good wifi and friendly owners. Laundry service is quick and good and the overall vibe was good!

Nice place to stay, comfy, good location and very good for the price

Nice air conditioning, room, and wifi with 10 min walk to hiriketiya beach.

The host was largely unavailable. The guy working there was so nice but did not speak English so difficult to get ahold of host for checkout and could not get change from host.

Walking distance to both beaches and not far off main road for arriving and leaving with backpack. Each bed had a mosquito net and locker. Accommodation was very clean and even arrived to a coconut drink. Excellent value.

Nothing, perfect accommodation. Not right on beach but less likely to have a lot of noise for sleeping and wasn’t full.

This is the best place to stay in Hiriketiya according to me. It's perfectly located, 5min walk to Hiri beach, 5 min walk to Dickwela beach. The house is new, very clean and well maintain. The owners are really kind and helpfull for any information you need. Matress are so comfortable.. that make the difference with other placer. There is a kitchen as well.. I think it's the best value arround. And the area is peacefull. It feels like home when I stay there, I went twice and extended many days each time. Thank you

Everything was perfect! it was clean, in a quite area, kitchen, very friendly owner and a good price for the value :)) would stay there again!

+ Perfect location between Dikwella and Hiriketiya beaches! Relatively clean, with lovely staff!!kitchen facility also there..

Probably the Best hostel in town. Everything is working perfectly, clean, comfortable and the staff is here to help if any questions. Also the price is more than decent for the location and all the rest. I definitely recommand the place it has made my stay in hiriketyia.
