Great hostel with a good vibe. Staff is nice and friendly. Rooms and toilets are clean. The pool and the terrace are great common areas. A little fit outside the core of Kandy but easily reachable and in a quiet area. No way of getting local food in the nearby but different options of delivery and a well equipped kitchen for guests.

I want to give 4 or 5 stars, but there were several things I didn't like about the hostel that should be fixed asap. The bed sheets are terrible, they don't stay on the mattress. The bathrooms are very basic and if they spent just a few rupees they could be so much better. The clothes drying area is ok but there's a mess around it. The common area is nice but zero shade. There's another level which has shade but is a mess. Most people seemed to love the free dinner which is a cool idea, but it wasn't for me. The staff are great, very friendly. Breakfast is simple but worked for me (bread and an egg). Location not the best but a 20 min walk into town. Overall, a nice hostel that needs just a little TLC to make it a 4 or 5 star review.

Absolutely fantastic hostel. The staff really will do anything to make your stay perfect. Gorgeous pool, lovely views and comfortable beds. They include a cookery course every night and breakfast in the morning for no extra charge! Everyone eats their food together and enjoys the lovely view over Kandy.

For a hostel it offers a lot and generally is a great experience. Evening cooking class is a great experience and is a good way to break the ice with the rest of the backpackers. Very kind staff, would recommend

This hostel is roughhhhh. Other than the really kind staff, the hostel is not nice at all. We stayed in a room with two bunks and it was super cramped. Everything smelled super musty, all the bedding was really stained, and the sheet was more like a cloth just thrown on top of the mostly exposed mattress. Mold on the ceilings. Everything is poorly maintained. Bathrooms were not great either. It’s worth spending a couple bucks more to stay in a nicer place.

Good value for money, cool cooking class INCLUDED with a very tasty homemead dinner, which makes up for rather simple breakfast. Overall great for the price

Not sure if its worth for the amount we paid. Dorms are pretty packed. Meals arent great. general cleanliness and maintenance inadequate. Washrooms are better though. The staff is nice and helpful.
