Amazing hostel! One of the best run hostels I've stayed in. It's incredibly clean, especially bathrooms. Is very comfortable with great facilities (pool, rooftop and chill space). Everything feels new and is in great condition. Awesome vibe because of managers Jesse + Mies who are amazing people - so kind and friendly. They are on it straight away if you need help or anything fixing. Volunteers run the social activities both daytime and night so easy to meet people but can just chill on your own easily. The staff are lovely and make super tasty food and drinks - banging cocktails. The co-working space is air conned and good desk space. Also really appreciated the kettle and fridge in the small kitchen space behind the building as I like to make my own breakfast and tea. I am hoping to return for another stay because it is one of the best places in Sri Lanka!

Solmate Collective Hostel - Madiha in Matara provides adults-only accommodation with a garden, a shared lounge and a bar.

The place is brand new and ideally located close to the beach and to every to everything you might need. It’s kind a home away from home with special attention to details like the cosy spaces to meet other travellers, daily meet ups organised to connect everyone, a wonderful team always ready to help with anything and beautiful rooms to recharge your battery (you can also give the ice bath a try for this).

My stay here was amazing. The family that hosted me was so nice and helped me in everything I needed. The place is peaceful and really near the beach. I left a peace of my heart there, I hope to come back again.

Super cosy little hotel with private rooms. Kitchen area was handy for making coffee and teas and even cooking dinner. Facilities were clean. Location was perfect as it was about a 3 minute walk to the coast or a 3 minute scooter to the surf. Pathum and Sineth were amazing host and can help you out with anything and everything in the area. Pathum also provides airport pickup, comfortable transportation in a car with A/C or in his tuk tuk, and can also help with well priced scooter rentals. It was helpful having a local be so eager to show us around and help us find the best of spots. Can’t recommend this place enough and we can’t wait to come back!

The hotel was amazing. The jungle vibes were awesome and it felt really private. We enjoyed the outdoor bath a lot. The Petti Petti restaurant had a lovely pool just couple of steps away with beach access. Also some good restaurants were near the hotel. Lovely stay.
