Located in Hiriketiya and within 2 km of Hiriketiya Beach, Bappa's Place features a garden, non-smoking rooms, and free WiFi throughout the property. The property is around 5.8 km from Hummanaya Blow Hole, 19 km from Weherahena Buddhist Temple and 40 km from Kushtarajagala. Tangalle Lagoon is 15 km away and Mulkirigala Rock Monastery is 16 km from the hostel. Bappa's was incredible! We booked 2 nights, but ended up staying for 4 more days. The location is just removed from the beach in a quieter area, an easy walk. The rooms/ bathrooms and kitchen were so clean and comfortable! Some of the comfiest beds I have found in a hostel. The staff was great, helping us book the extra nights and do our laundry with ease. The yard had a bunch of different chairs to sit in while enjoying morning coffee.

Featuring a private bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer, certain units at JIB Hostel RestoBar also provide guests with a terrace. All units include a safety deposit box. JIB Hostel stands out as one of the most welcoming, accommodating, and comfortable hostels I have ever stayed. The owner, Jiny, was exceptionally helpful, providing valuable insights about Weligama. Her warm hospitality made me feel at ease as a newcomer to the area. The dormitory is spacious, and my bed was both clean and comfortable, offering ample room for all guests. The bathrooms are also large and well-equipped with necessary amenities. A notable feature of JIB Hostel is its restaurant, which serves a delightful array of Asian fusion dishes, including Korean, Thai, and Japanese cuisine, making it easy to find satisfying meal options. My stay at JIB Hostel was truly enjoyable, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to others.
