My favorite place in Sri Lanka. Kiri, the host, is a beautiful soul and helps you with everything you need. The location is directly on the lake and so peaceful. I extended for a whole week and I wish I could stay longer. I felt so comfortable. The hostel has a kitchen with a lot of stuff to cook, but you can also order food for a fair price. The hostel is perfect to relax and calm down. I would always come back:)

I loved the location, a short bus ride away from the beach and Hikkaduwa, on the shore of the lake. I liked the green garden, the open spaces, the little jetty on the lake, the sound of the rain on the roof. The dorm is clean and spacious, the bathroom is nice. 8 beds in the dorm, but only 3 people stayed in when I was there, so it was quiet. The bed was comfortable. The fans are strong, it was not hot in the room at all. A well equipped kitchen and a fridge to use is available. I liked the communal area. Even if it was quiet during my stay, I could feel that it is a very social place. There are a lot of animals around (dogs and cats), and the occasional wild animals, that you can spot. If you don't like dogs and cats (and their hair) around, think twice. If you choose to arrive by bus or on your own wheels, use G map, as it is the only one showing the little road leading to the hostel. Open source maps may confuse you. Be aware: no signs on the main road.
