I can only recommend this hostel if you are looking for a cozy, clean place with good vibes. The hostel has direct access to the beach (practically private) and is convenient to bus stops. On the side you will still find supermarkets and places for primary things. Super clean and well maintained hostel, very relaxing atmosphere! The guy who work there and the owners are wonderful, they make you feel at home. I extended my stay already after the first day I stayed. I hope to return before my departure! :)

A very nice, new hostel, super clean. The location is very good, just next to the bus and railway station and also, very close to the fort entrance, only some minutes on foot. People work there are very kind and helpful. There is also a pud downstairs of the hostel where visitors can find very tasty local food in good prices and huge portions. I would highly recommend this place

We had a wonderful week at Sanithu Homestay! I don’t even know where to start, our time there felt like a little fairytale. We woke up to the sounds of birds, the green garden and immediately felt home from the first day on. Besides the amazing garden and terrace, we enjoyed being around this amazing family! All four of them made our time very special! Champi is an outstanding cook and did her magic every day for breakfast and dinner, considering our requests and being very passionate about sharing her knowledge about Sri Lankan food. We loved all the meals and each day were already looking forward to the next dish. We hope to be back some day and will keep these memories for ever in our hearts. Thank you so much!

The overall property is beautiful, it’s a heritage home. Really well maintained. The dorm was pretty clean and cozy, special callout for the host - Pinidu. Really welcoming, greeted me with a refreshing drink and helped me with travel suggestions as well.

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.
