The family were very friendly, laid-back and welcoming (even got a puppet show on arrival by one of the kids). I was able to rent a bike, walk to turtle beach and bus to Galle. Three nights at this place was ideal and a fun way to meet other solo travellers 🙂

Backpacker Galle Hostel, hotel in Unawatuna

The family who run this hostel are really lovely. They serve delicious food at a very good price. The location is excellent - very near to the fort. The only down side is that all rooms open off an open central area so any noise carries.

    Great location right on the beach, breakfast was fabulous and included (and served with a great view of the sea). Room (budget) had a very good mosquito net and air conditioning worked well. The house felt secure. Owner and his wife were very friendly. We could leave our luggage to collect later.

    I can honestly say that this was the best hostel I’ve stayed at in Sri Lanka. The whole building, including the rooms, was so clean and stylish. The location was perfect because you’re amidst the jungle away from the crowd and noise, yet only a short walk to the beach. The staff are all lovely and caring - the best hospitality standard I’ve come across. Plus the food is freshly made… authentic Arabic dishes that taste incredible! This place has my heart! I booked 2 nights but ended up staying 5! Thank you Habibi team 🌷🌀💗

    We had one of the cheaper rooms - but it had all that we needed - a large bathroom good AC and fan - a little patio- but the mosquitoes can be annoying. The gardens and pool were delightful- very courteous staff and a really impressive breakfast. This is also a great location for strolling the main street with restaurants and shops. Enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

    - Rajiv the owner is just the best hostel owner I have ever met, so caring, funny and kind; he also went with us to the beach twice and showed us around - the people and atmosphere are amazing and you will feel at home after half a day - the food (only tried dinner) is amazing and the chef such a nice guy - had a three bed dorm for my own - nice chill out area and lot of beautiful paintings - what you get for the price you get is amazing
