Hostels in Hikkaduwa

Really wonderful nature area at the lake. Quiet place. Super friendly and helpful staff. Nice path for walking to Hikkaduwa and the beach.

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!

very friendly owner. they where always up for a talk.

Owner of hostel very sweet and polite woman!!! Very freedom environment) - I love it

Good place to stay neat and clean. Value for money with a swimming pool facility, near the beach. Highly recommended for Backpackers.

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! :)

Comfortable beds and clean, it has a kitchen and a garden

Amazing location and staff! We loved everything!

Very conveniently located in Galle. Clean hostel and the bar located in the property is a great social addition. Bar has a truly eclectic, old school feel. One of the most well kept hostels I’ve been too

I don’t know where to start. Sanithu Homestay exceeded my expectations by far. For the price I was paying I did not expect to get the room and service they provided. The room is very spacious, extremely clean, especially for Sri Lankan standards, feels cool despite the heat and only having a fan and no AC (maybe cause of the high ceilings), didn’t have any mosquitoes while we were there and unlike a lot of rooms in Sri Lanka has no moldy damp smell. The Homestay is located in a residential area, not far from the bus which takes you directly to Galle for 50LKR. Round the corner there is a beautiful Buddhist Temple and just a 10 minute walk away is the lovely Bara Beach. But what really makes this place stand out is the lovely family that run it (mother Champi, father Ajith, daughter Minu and son Sanithu). First of all their English is quite good, especially compared to most Sri Lankans. But even more so they are extremely kind and friendly. They will go above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of. They have nice suggestions of what to do in the area and help you out to figure out how to get there. On arrival Sanithu and Minu, took my daughter (22 months) and myself to the nearby beach and spent the afternoon with us. During our stay they were constantly looking out for our wellbeing and spent at lot of time entertaining my daughter. And before leaving the kids once again took us on a little outing to the temple and took out their time to give us a proper tour and explain to me more out Buddhism. And Champi will prepare any and everything you want to eat (breakfast, lunch or dinner) at a very reasonable price. We were sad to leave this lovely family. I highly recommend this place to any and everyone. Whether you’re a single traveler, couple, family or even a large group, this is your go to place.
