Genuinely the best value hostel in Ahangama. Beautiful pool in the garden, great facilities and right by the Marshmallows break. Great yoga shala up on top for sunset. Owners are super chilled & let you hang out at the pool pre/post check in/out. Would 100% come back!

Exceptionally hospitable (but not at all overbearing) staff, spacious and tastefully designed room (I was in a private double), very well-kept and clean grounds, lovely cafe… there’s really nothing I didn’t like. It’s very new and the motivated staff is working hard to work out the details

I stayed in a private room. But by far the best room I’ve stayed in hostels! The big bed was super comfy & the water pressure and air con was so strong (things I’ve struggled to find in Sri Lanka).
More so the owners really make this place! It’s family owned, and you can tell they really care about their new business. Breakfast is lovely served with coffee/tea, fruit and different mains every day. They go above and beyond to help with any request you have.
I wish them and their business all the best :)

The property itself is simple but nice and cozy, a 25-min walk outside town but right in front of a bus station or easily reached by Tuktuk. On the bright side, you have a private beach at your doorstep. The staff was super nice and helpful.

The location is excellent, it’s very close to Jungle beach and also lots of trees, not touristy, a beautiful area. The hosts are a lovely young couple, the wife makes a delicious curry dinner that you must try. Loved the private outdoor shower. Great community of interesting travelers from all over the world.

Incredibly amazing staff. I felt like they really cared for me and that they would take care of me no matter what I needed. The community there was amazing as well. Very friendly travelers, lots of great activities from open mics to ping pong tournaments to board game nights. Great location near some solid surf. Comfortable queen beds in the dorms! Amazing pizza and even a projector room where we had cozy movie nights!
Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

Absolutely loved this place and came back twice. It‘s a little paradise to just relax or go surfing and to meet other nice people. One of the best Hostels I have stayed so far
Brilliant location for beach, train station, buses, cafes etc. Roof terrace where you can watch the sunset over the sea and look over Ahangama high street.
Staff were super friendly and helpful. Our room was large, had everything we needed (table, chair, hooks). You also had access to washing machine and kitchen.
Accommodation is really budget friendly especially considering the great location. Easy to find and get to.
The staff was extremely kind and you really felt welcomed. Hostel was clean, beds were comfortable and all this to a cheap price. Will definitely go back to Ce Lon Vie if I visit the South Coast again!!
such a nice hostel- only 10 beds in the whole place, it has a family feel and the beds are wider than a normal twin. the staff are really easy going and there is a restaurant upstairs that is a nice place to eat and chill in and watch the ocean. most of the rooms just have one bunk bed in them so you can sleep really well without any noise! About 10 minutes drive from Weligama and Ahangama as well as a 10 minute walk to Midigama.
Yoyo hostel is where I returned to at the end of my trip to Sri Lanka. It felt like coming home. The hostel has an incredibly friendly atmosphere. Very helpful staff and they will advise and help you with everything. Hostel is very clean and in a great location. I recommend it!
One of the best hostels I’ve stayed in - you need anything from food to a scooter to a bus to Ella they’ll help you and even wait at the bus stop with you (Not guaranteed lol). Events are organised most days and they’re great fun, the people at Yoyos make it special though. Wish them all the best and strongly recommend you book longer than you need because you’ll end up extending anyway
No doubt this is the best hostel in the country to settle down for a while, get to know people and have a really good time. Location is perfect and it is run by amazing people. Among all my travels, this is one of the most special hostels i ever visited (if not the most). Just go there!!!
