Sixth Sense Hostel

I chose this hostel because I wanted a place to rest. It’s about a 5–6 minute motorbike ride from the beach and is located surrounded by forests. The room was very clean, and I stayed for almost five nights and had the whole place to myself. It felt like the huge room had been reserved just for me. The guy at reception was very friendly, attentive, and extremely helpful.

The only things I didn’t like were the ants in the bathroom. There were so many of them that I had to constantly clean the toilet before using it. Also, everything in the kitchen was pretty dirty. And wifi is slow.

Der Mitarbeiter war sehr freundlich und hat uns alles gezeigt. Küche war vorhanden, an sich sind die Zimmer schön.

Wir haben viele Insekten in den Betten gefunden und sind deshalb wieder abgereist. Daraufhin bekam der Mitarbeiter großen Ärger mit seinem Chef, was uns sehr leid tat. Wir telefonierten mit dem Chef, um die Lage zu klären, dies half leider nichts. Alles in allem ist es ein schöner Ort, ist aber verbesserungswürdig.

員工十分熱情，剛入住會有一杯迎賓果汁，民宿猶如小木屋，床架也是木頭的，會有一股木頭香。

水源是地下水，呈現黃色的，我住完隔天就腸胃炎了。 廚房的用具不乾淨，桌面會黏黏的。 浴室的部分，會有一些昆蟲

We booked the place as a group of 10 people. The place is very well maintained by Mr Kelum. Place is clean and comfortable. Mr Kelum's service is professional and friendly. The owner also contacted us via Mr Kelum. He seemed very much invested in the facilities. Great to see everyone give the priority to the experience of the customers. The kitchen is well maintained and organized. Everything that could possibly be needed is there, pans, knives, toaster, etc. Mr Kelum also helped us with booking the bikes and three-wheelers to make the travelling easier. Anyways a tuk tuk won't cost you more than 440 via Pick Me from the main road(Thalpe). There is no curfew, so you can enjoy late night and come at anytime since the key cards are issued. They have a good book collection/card packs if you want to kill time. Mr Kelum was very attentive to our needs and safety , he was always ready to give us a hand in anything. Definitely returning if we come to this area. Not sure about working facilities, but they will provide if you ask.

- Mr Sampath's(neighbors) tuk tuk is a rip off. He asked for us Rs1000 for a ride we took twice via pick me for 440, saying pick me also charge the same. Which it does not. He charged us more than twice the pick me price.- not the property's fault. Just beware. - One bed does not have a charging port- broken - Pots are non stick coating is gone, which is a major health risk. Better if they replace the pans, also sharpen knives. Everything else is great in kitchen. - Beware of the mosquitoes outside. Bring mosquito repellents if you are coming. Anyways inside rooms are Air conditioned mosquitos are not coming.

Nice quiet location, very clean, rooms are spacious, kitchen area and free drinking water provided, the owner and worker Calum are extremely kind! Calum was around a lot always helping and making sure you’re ok and have everything you need. Definitely recommend this place 100%.

Such a pretty hostel with neat and clean rooms, washroom and common space. Stayed there for 2 nights. Mr. Kelum was so helpful and professional and good human being. He was so helpful for everything. The location is also a peaceful perfect location. Will be coming back again.

Great place, super clean and best kitchen!

Was inappropriate attention from staff (as for white girl), getting to the room and offering food while I was asleep

Superb place, looks new and clean. Loved the gardens and fishes.

Absolutely not safe for women at all! Especially if you are white skinned. The staff working there gets drunk all day and are uncontrollable. They barge into the dorms and behave inappropriately with women all the time. They are also openly racists, said nasty things to me because I'm Indian and praised other foreign tourists like anything. They even had filtered water for whites and tap water for others which I found out very late. Instead of owning the responsibility of hiring the wrong people, the owner quickly started pointing fingers at other guests for "giving them alcohol" which they did not.

I really like the atmosphere and the location. The staff are great—especially Kelum, who is a very kind and generous person. He truly made the experience wonderful.

Nothing to say

Location is quiet, peaceful. Very clean and ac always on

Sixth Sense Hostel to so clean & peace full place The guy attended in hostel so good I Love it Thank you brother for you caring me Must stay in this hostel

Staff were super friendly

Very calm surroundings

I had a really good stay at Six Sense Hostel in Unawatuna. The location is great and the place has a nice interior, very comfortable and relaxing. The best part of my stay was the receptionist, Randika. He is a very kind and helpful person. From the moment I arrived, he welcomed me nicely and made me feel comfortable. In the morning, he even brought hoppers for breakfast and served me, which I really appreciated. He also knows all the good places around and helped me with directions and recommendations. Overall, I’m very happy with my stay. Good place, good service, and very friendly people. I highly recommend it.

Nothing

Very nice outside place

Could be a bit more social

Amazing hostel clean and there is hot water too. And the manager ordered us two times food for dinner from a family restaurant near by. Was so good

The location. 20 walk to the nearest beach

I like the fact it was in the jungle. Despite it being a pain to get a tuk tuk.

- The host (Randika) is very friendly and communicates in English well - Very large and clean kitchen. Ideal for people who want to cook because there aren't many restaurants in the nearby vicinity - Beds are comfortable - Dorm rooms have A/C - Very large and clean bathrooms - Central location: very close to Turtle Beach (do not recommend) and Galle Fort (about 350 rupee motorbike ride on Pick Me App)

- There's a 500 rupee deposit for the front gate key card, but you get it back at the end of the stay - Main road is approximately 15-20 min. walk - main road is where you can get the local bus and have access to beaches and restaurants - No breakfast option - which would've been nice since there is only one restaurant (Chopped Leaf) nearby and it's not very good

The care taker here is very nice and everyone is very warm. I felt sick they took care of me

Super chill and relaxed vibe, comfy beds, super clean dorms and bathrooms, cleanest hostel kitchen I've ever seen, nice common area and the host is absolutely lovely and polite! Would definitely stay again :)

Unfortunately, the location is a little bit far away from everything, but it's super cheap to go by pick me.

Clean and comfortable rooms. Staff were kind and helpful.

It is a little bit up the hill / away from the main drag - walked down a couple times but often wound up getting a tuk tuk each time we came and went.

Je suis venue ici seule et je n'ai plus envie de partir. Si vous cherchez un lieu pour vous sentir à la maison, avec une propreté irréprochable, une décoration de très bon goût et des lits et une salle de bain beaux et propres comme à la maison, dans un quartier calme entouré de verdure et proche de tout (en 5,10 minutes de scooter ou à vélo, ou 45 minutes de marche si vous aimez marcher comme moi), ce lieu est un petit paradis ! Les gens rencontrés ici m'ont confié que c'était le meilleur hostel/hotel pour eux aussi, alors que certains voyagent depuis près de 10 ans. On y a fait la cuisine ensemble, profiter de moments seuls dans notre coin sur un canapé à flâner ou travailler sur nos ordinateurs, profité de la plage Dewata pour surfer (10 minutes de scooter, ou Uber qui coûte environs 1 euros le trajet simple). Vous pouvez aussi faire votre lessive pour 500 ruppies / moins de 2 euros, sur place et c'est prêt dans la journée. Nous avons tous prolongé notre séjour et je ne veux plus partir! Merci aussi a Randika qui a pris soin de nous et nous a égayer par sa gentillesse chaque jour. Je pense qu'après cette expérience ce sera difficile de trouver mieux ailleurs.

Petit détail pour l'équipe : internet (parfois, ça coupe momentanément. Pas facile pour travailler sur de gros projets sur ordinateur), et peut-être glisser de l'encens ou un parfum dans la salle de bain (odeur canalisation). C'est trois fois rien, foncez, ce lieu est magique !

SO BEAUTIFUL!

Great hostel, very clean, great ammenities and lovely owner

Il posto è favoloso! Accoglienza fantastica, gentilezza e disponibilità infinita. Dire che mi sento a casa è poco. Ho apprezzato il soggiorno in questa struttura ogni momento della giornata. Consiglio con il cuore. Grazie infinite!

Super fijn en schoon verblijf in een rustige buurt, de man die alles verzorgde hielp met alles en was super aardig top om te verblijven ook een fijne keuken waar je zelf gebruik van mag maken

A very clean, peaceful and cozy property surrounded by lush green and beautiful coconut trees 🌴, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. All amenities are available in the property, including a big kitchen, laundry, and appliances, close to ATM, supermarket, public transport, and beautiful beaches. The property manager is extremely helpful and gentle. No need to think twice, this place is amazing.

Nothing, everything was perfect for me!!

Het was een oase van rust en gezelligheid. De kamers zijn prima. De badkamer mooi ingericht en de keuken volledig uitgerust om zelf te koken mocht je dat willen.

Such a comfortable place with all the facilities and calm environment. Good place to socialise. Caretaker is a very humble and helpful person. Overall 10/10 🫡

Randhika the host was super friendly and helpful. He shared lot about thr places nearby. This property is away from the busy spot and calmer. You can cook and chill at the house at night. You can even rent bicycle to go to the beach and enjoy your slow morning. Laundry is available too.

no cons at all.

Clean and cozy

The property was very clean and comfortable. The manager was very helpful. Late check/-in was allowed for me. The accommodation is overall very peaceful. The best thing about this accommodation, once you are at the main road, you just cross the road to the unawatuna beach and there is a bus which takes you directly to Mirissa beach and Galle fort. However, I only had one problem, that’s the location, there are no street lights and it’s quiet about 8 mins from the main road, so Uber keeps cancelling one after another at night specially(every during morning). So, you will always have to take the local TUK TUK, who will eventually charge higher. The best way to deal with this is to rent a bike, the manager is very helpful with it.

Location

Ambience and peaceful

No shampoo/no bodywash

Great place, the staff was very very friendly and helpful. The rooms are very cosy and the kitchen is also very resourceful.

This hostel is a fantastic choice for travelers looking for comfort, value, and a welcoming environment. The lively atmosphere makes it easy to feel at home, while the clean and well-maintained facilities ensure a pleasant stay. Dorms are spacious with A/C, comfortable beds, and large lockers. The kitchen is big, fully equipped, and has everything you need to cook your own meals. Guests especially appreciate the cozy common areas, which create a safe and social vibe. One of the biggest highlights is the staff always friendly, helpful, and approachable. The owner’s warm hospitality adds a personal touch, making the experience even more memorable. Overall, this hostel offers excellent value for money with its combination of cleanliness, comfort, and community. It’s the perfect place for anyone seeking a relaxed yet lively atmosphere, whether you’re staying short-term or long-term.

It’s located a little outside the city, but with Uber, pickme readily available, getting around is easy and not an issue.

Ambience

Distance from main road

The property is too gud and calm and clean and the handler is too humble and nice person comfy beds clean rooms perfect air-conditioning and beautifully decorated house much spacious and very well maintained property ...the handler mr.randhiku is very gud and humble person one of my room mate got sick and he and he called his owner both of them took gud care of him its really touched me ....

Only thing is no restaurant nearby thast not hostelier fault

Wunderschönes Haus mit einem traumhaften Garten. Man kann abends wunderbar auf der Terrasse sitzen und lesen. Das Zimmer ist groß und man hat einen großen Schrank, den man abschließen kann. Die Klimaanlage im Zimmer ist sehr gut Das Bad ist groß, modern und bietet Staufläche. Es ist alles sauber, ordentlich und gemütlich. Die Küche ist z.T. offen und gut ausgestattet. Zu Fuß ist man in 20 Minuten am Strand. Oder man nimmt ein Tuktuk und fährt für 1,50-2,50€ nach Galle. Unawatuna hat aber auch sehr gute Restaurants und Cafés zu bieten und das Haus ist ruhig gelegen. Die Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich und ein Mitarbeiter ist extra aufgestanden, um mitten in der Nacht meinen Check Out zu ermöglichen. Ich habe mich sicher und willkommen gefühlt und würde auf jeden Fall wiederkommen!

Schönes Hostel, super Preis-Leistung.

Property manager is too good. Kudos to him. Nice property and well maintained.

Overall a great & comfortable experience. Lively atmosphere.

Great little place, the gentlemen is really kind and helpful. A little shop 10 seconds away. Clean. One of the only places I didn't get bitten while sleeping. Great place

It’s a very peaceful and quite place, Zen vibe You can walk 10-15 minutes to get to the beach. The staff he is very nice and helpful will help you with anything. It’s not a very social hostel but you definitely will find a good companion to wonder around with.

great value hostel in a nice environment and comfy beds - staff were nice

kitchen was quite messy and unorganised for the first couple of nights that I was there and staff member that was there for the first couple of nights never provided enough toilet paper for a room of 6 (even when I requested more), which meant that I had to keep getting more from them each morning. However, a different staff member arrived towards the end of my stay, who cleaned the kitchen and organised things to make the stay a lot more comfortable.

Its very good property guys. Just book it.

It will be little far away from city. But you can better rent a motorbike. To explore all the city. N reach here.

Dorms were big with A/C, confortable beds with large locker. Big kitchen and super nice staff. There is a scooter rental place nearby.

Would say nothing :)

The staff and the property were extraordinary

Very nice hostel, the owner is very nice and the accomodation is very clean. The kitchen has everything you need and the beds where nice.

It's a pretty place. Comfy, really good kitchen, safe energy

The vibes of the staff made me feel a little bit odd, but he was nice.

Beautiful house, small with only two rooms, cute little outdoor area, very calm and relaxing. The ocean is nearby. As I only stayed one night, I didn’t go there. If you have a scooter or TukTuk you can park inside. Staff is very friendly!!

Perfect, Oasis in the middle of the green jungle

The hostel was very nice, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen was very well equipped. It was clean and very easy to meet people. We had a lot of fun cooking.

It was in the middle of nowhere, we had to wait up to 15 minutes for a pick me to accept. Although the owner was very helpful. He even got us a new tooth brush from one of the neighbours at 10pm.

Very clean hostel, really nice rooms. Big and clean bathroom, fully equipped kitchen

The location is a bit in the middle of nowhere. There is no visible sign, so a little struggle to find.

How clean and modern everything feels. The hosts were amazing and super friendly!

It is a little bit outside of the city, can be a pro if you want some rest. Can be a con if you want to go out for dinner and lunches. But the tuktuks are cheap. So not really a big issue for me.

Wonderful and clean hostel. Owner is super friendly . There is a shared kitchen and very clean bathrooms, as well as a air-conditioned dorm with comfortable beds.

Location is a bit far off, but tuktuk to the main road is easy to get for 300LKR.

Beautiful setting, peaceful and relaxing. The staff are great, helpful and v kind

The perfect location is a bit far from shop n transport

Super clean! Brand new with an amazing kitchen! The washrooms are sparkling clean! The architecture is just precise to the location!

Modern

Bit far from beach

Very clean, quiet location and lovely staff who can help you anyway. Has nice kitchen facilities for cooking and only 2 dorm rooms so never overcrowded. Befriend a local so you can get tuk tuk easy, pick me often cancel for this area.

Would be nice is coffee and tea were available

One of the nicest hostels I’ve stayed in, not just in Sri Lanka but worldwide! Also the hostel is spotless!

Location was a bit far out but that can’t be helped, although the social areas are really nice so if you want somewhere to chill at the end of your trip this is the perfect place.

Really beautiful hostel and super clean! It’s tucked away from the town but nice to be in a quiet and peaceful spot, and is an easy tuk tuk ride to Unawatuna and Galle. The owner is super lovely and happy to help out!

Lovely and welcoming staff , great facilities

Kinda far from the beach and main area

The design, the cleanliness, the vibe, everything, I hope I can stay longer 😁😄

None.
