I had the absolute pleasure of staying at Hummus Hostel & Restaurant during my recent trip to Hikkaduwa, Sri Lanka, and I can honestly say that it was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. The name intrigued me from the get-go, and this hidden gem exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I arrived, the warm and inviting atmosphere enveloped me. The owner at Hummus Hostel is genuinely kind-hearted and friendly, always going the extra mile to make sure all guests are comfortable and well-taken care of. The hostel itself is a beautiful, well-maintained property with clean and spacious rooms. The beds are incredibly comfortable. The common areas are thoughtfully designed, providing the perfect balance of cozy nooks for quiet time and social spaces for mingling with fellow travelers. The location of the hostel is also ideal, situated within walking distance to the stunning Hikkaduwa beach, where you can bask in the sun, surf the waves, or simply admire the breathtaking sunsets. Overall, I cannot recommend Hummus Hostel & Restaurant enough. It is the epitome of warm hospitality, mouthwatering cuisine, and an unforgettable atmosphere that will make you feel right at home. If you're planning a trip to Hikkaduwa, don't hesitate to book your stay at this incredible haven – your heart will thank you!

Our stay at White House was absolutely amazing, the best place we stayed in Sri Lanka by a mile. The room was spotless, incredibly spacious, and comfortable. We spent five days here and genuinely didn’t want to leave. The highlight of our stay was the host, who treated us like a family and made us feel so welcome. His hospitality and a big smile were unmatched, and we are truly grateful for everything. Thank you so much for making our stay so special. We’ll definitely be back soon!

I can only recommend this hostel if you are looking for a cozy, clean place with good vibes. The hostel has direct access to the beach (practically private) and is convenient to bus stops. On the side you will still find supermarkets and places for primary things. Super clean and well maintained hostel, very relaxing atmosphere! The guy who work there and the owners are wonderful, they make you feel at home. I extended my stay already after the first day I stayed. I hope to return before my departure! :)

All hostels in Hikkaduwa

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.
