Everything, it’s the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. Loved the pups, the kitties, the peaceful location, the staff *really* felt like family… it was cleaned daily and overall just amazing.

Our stay at White House was absolutely amazing, the best place we stayed in Sri Lanka by a mile. The room was spotless, incredibly spacious, and comfortable. We spent five days here and genuinely didn’t want to leave. The highlight of our stay was the host, who treated us like a family and made us feel so welcome. His hospitality and a big smile were unmatched, and we are truly grateful for everything. Thank you so much for making our stay so special. We’ll definitely be back soon!

This is a place for a great experience of being literally in front of the sea, chilling out with a drink while lingering on a confortable bean bag , watching amaizing sunset , having nice meals freshly prepared. If I 'll come back to Sri Lanka again I'll definetly come back to this place but having a private room this time, the dorm could be a bit uncomfortable since have not windows which make it quite hot and hummid.

I had a wonderful stay at Snooze Station. The location next to bus station is great. Its just a short walk to fort Galle. The rooms are clean and specious. The staff was most welcoming friendly and helpful. The owner even explained me everything about the story and long history about this hostel/building. Highly recomment.

Nice guesthouse in a quiet residential area owned by a very nice and helpful family. Short walk to the beach, supermarket and bus station (just 50RS to Galle Fort). The family will go out of their way to make sure you’re comfortable and have all the information you need. Stayed a week to do some work. Included Wi-Fi was adequate for what I needed, and there was an option to pay a little extra for a fibre data package in case I needed a boost. Strong 4G signal also. Mainly cooked for myself, so only purchased 1 breakfast, but it was very good. Would recommend.

All hostels in Hikkaduwa

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
