Hostels in Weerawila

I stayed one night at GoYala Hostel, and I booked a shared dorm room. Even though it was a dorm, it turned out no one else was there that night, so it was really quiet. The room itself was super clean—like, really spotless—and everything from the bathroom and shower to the beds, tables, and chairs was well-maintained. The cooler worked great too. The hostel had this really nice garden-like, villa-style atmosphere, which was super charming. Plus, there was a small lake right in front of the hostel that added a really nice view. The only thing to keep in mind is that it’s a bit out in a rural area, so it might feel a bit remote. One important tip: Google Maps tends to show the wrong route near the hostel, leading to kind of a dead end. So when you're getting close, definitely call the hostel owner or manager to guide you through the correct way. In my case, I made a late-night reservation and the young manager was super helpful. He even came out on a motorbike late at night to show my driver the right path. He was really attentive and made sure everything was smooth for my arrival. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this hostel too!

I loved this place. It is a bit 'in the wild' but that is the beauty of it - it is right next to the park and there are lots of animals (especially birds) to see. The owner was very friendly and arranged pick-up for me and bought some curd and treacle to try. He also played pool with me (yes, there is a large and well kept pool table there.) As it was quiet when I was there he kindly gave me a better room for the same price. He also owns riverside cabanas which I recommend staying at.# Nearby is a beautiful beach that looks prehistoric and you can walk along the sand dunes.

I had an absolutely delightful stay at Hamba Hostel for Safari! The room was impeccably clean and provided a serene and calming atmosphere that was just what I needed for a relaxing getaway. The proximity to the beach was a huge plus, allowing me to enjoy the soothing sound of the waves throughout my stay. The staff members were incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to assist with a warm smile. One of the highlights of my trip was the Yala safari organized by the hotel. The experience was truly unforgettable, and the convenience of having it arranged by the hostel made the adventure even more enjoyable. Additionally, the food offered at the hostel was beyond delicious, satisfying my taste buds with a variety of delectable dishes. Overall, I can't speak highly enough of Hamba Hostel for Safari. It's the perfect blend of comfort, tranquility, beachside charm, attentive staff, exciting safari opportunities, and mouthwatering cuisine. My stay was an absolute delight, and I can't wait to return for another unforgettable experience!

Amazing and quiet place. Friendly and attentive host. Tasty food. They helped to arrange safari. 100% recommend!
