Their hostel isn't just a place to rest; it's a home away from home. From the second I stepped through their doors, I was embraced by Judith and Isuru's warmth and genuine care. The family's hospitality was beyond compare - they made sure every moment was comfortable and enriching. Their two adorable kids and one special repeat visitor from Denmark became the cherry on top of this holiday :) Judith's delicious cooking classes and homemade meals, and the engaging conversations truly made my trip unforgettable. Staying here didn't just offer accommodation; it provided an authentic experience and a sense of belonging. For an enriching and heartwarming Sri Lankan experience, this hostel with its exceptional host family is an absolute must!
