Amazing! The place is really nice and clean. The owner is super helpful and friendly. It’s easy to reach and if you drive your own tuktuk they can help you with driving it up (it’s just a few meters) . He provides drinking water and there is nice warm water in the shower. The view is beautiful and the place is very peaceful. Good to get some rest after a day in the busy city. Would absolutely recommend and book it again!

The place is located in a really nice house. The hosts are living in the next building. The living and garden are really beautiful. The family who runs the hostel is really nice and polite. They offer breakfast, lunch and dinner (not included on the booking. It's a beautiful place if you want to spend a chill time. Consider you should take a 30 min Bus till you reach Kandy downtown.

Great hostel! I stayed for two nights. Both were fully booked. I met amazing people. The location is very calm and peaceful right next to a river in the rainforest. 15 min with the Tuk Tuk to the busy city Center. Great interior design. If they would accept card payments it would have been a 10/10!

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.
