Serious security issue. MONEY STOLEN from room.
I stayed at this hostel and had 100,000 LKR stolen from my room. During my stay, staff entered my room multiple times without my consent.
When I later checked my belongings, the money was missing.
I raised this directly with the hostel and had to threaten police involvement to get the situation taken seriously.
This is a major breach of trust and safety. I would strongly advise future guests not to leave any valuables here.
Extremely disappointing experience.
The dirtiest place I have ever stayed in my life.
This hostel is absolutely disgusting. Rooms, common areas, bathrooms, everything is filthy.
There are insects everywhere, broken furniture, and a constant feeling of grime.
The so-called co-working area looks nothing like the photos. Chairs are broken, tables are damaged, and the space is unusable.
Nothing is maintained. Nothing is cleaned properly. The entire place feels neglected and run down.
This was one of the worst accommodation experiences I’ve ever had. I would not recommend this place to anyone
My friend was staying at this hostel while I was in Mirissa. She spoke very highly of it so I decided to join her. Ronnie was very welcoming and arranged for my friend and I to stay in the same room. The bed was comfy, the bathroom was clean, and the staff was very helpful. I had a bad experience with a tuk tuk driver the night before, but when I told the staff, the boys working there made sure to speak to the drivers I took, verifying that I could trust them. The hostel is also very conveniently located near all the good beach bars and restaurants
The hostel has a lot of potential, but in its current state it really doesn’t live up to it.
There are no real common areas and no organized activities, which makes it quite difficult to meet people. Considering that in Weligama there’s a different party every night, it would make a huge difference if the hostel actually promoted or supported any of them, but it doesn’t — there’s zero social engagement.
In my dorm, the bathroom door couldn’t be closed, which created a serious lack of privacy. One day I was taking a shower and someone from my room walked in and saw me naked. This issue was reported several times to the staff, but it was never fixed.
The staff is friendly, but honestly very disorganized. They often say that the hostel is fully booked, even when Hostelworld shows plenty of available beds. Check-in is extremely slow and confusing.
I stayed as a guest for six days, and when I came back just to use the co-working space (which is basically just a room with good Wi-Fi, nothing more), they still charged me for it — even though I had just spent almost a week there.
With all the hostels available in Weligama, I personally wouldn’t choose this one again. It could be so much better, but at the moment it’s just not worth it.
I've loved staying in this hostel, the staff has been incredibly helpful from the moment I walked in and has always been available if I had any request or problem.
The position is perfect, it's in the main street where you can find plenty of restaurants, cafes, shops, gyms and of course surf schools (the hostel also collaborates with one so you can have fair discounted prices).
Inside there's a really nice coworking space with AC, a shared kitchen and a cozy rooftop.
I've really liked the private room, spacious, always clean and from the shared terrace you can see the ocean!
So in conclusion I'm very happy with my stay and I'd recommend this hostel to everyone visiting Weligama.
A special mention to Tutu who made me feel like I was at home!
I stayed here for almost a week and really felt at home. The whole team, especially wimu, tutu and angela were always there to help and make us feel like home.
We had some fun nights there. Additionally, the coworking space was a really good place to focus.
Tutu, Wimu and the rest of the staff were very friendly! They helped us with a lot of nice recommendations, also for the bus!
They always tried there outmost best for me and my friend, and were always available for questions!
Co-working space with airco is the best!
We had a wonderful stay at this hostel during our girls’ vacation. The place felt very safe & secure, which gave us peace of mind throughout our trip. Everything was clean & well-maintained, & the calm, relaxing atmosphere made it the perfect spot to unwind. Truly a great place for a comfortable & enjoyable stay—highly recommended!❤️
