The owners are wonderful, even though I stayed in the low season so never met you in person, they always answered the phone at all times and even after I left they continued to answer to my questions. I recommend the place hands down! The pink house next door does incredible breakfast, make sure to have a coffee there!

Set in Unawatuna, 700 metres from Unawatuna Beach, Habibi Hostel & Restaurant offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a bar. The property is situated 6.6 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium, 6.7 km from Galle Fort and 6.8 km from Dutch Church Galle. The accommodation features evening entertainment and free WiFi throughout the property. This place is special. Musa, Samer and Ahmed made me feel at home from the first moment. They are great guys, caring and attentive, ready to help you and happy to share their fantastic Palestinian cuisine (some of the best food I have ever eaten). It is a special experience to know their stories, and to be immersed in an impeccable hostel with lots of reminders of their land. The rooms are spacious, clean, modern. So are all the communal areas (from the fantastic terrace where we eat and chat together, to the yoga area with a view). The level of hospitality is very high, and everything is taken care of down to the last detail. Each dormitory also has its own little terrace and they offer yoga classes in the morning, special offers for massages and diving. Thank you for making my last days in Sri Lanka different and special. You are unique! Highly recommended, don't miss the chance to spend time in the best hostel (and restaurant) in Sri Lanka with these three warm, open hearted and fun people.

Located in Unawatuna, 2 km from Unawatuna Beach, Hostel Singha Lounge provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a restaurant. The property is around 6.6 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium, 6.7 km from Galle Fort and 6.8 km from Dutch Church Galle. The hostel also features free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. Jude and Isuru are the most amazing hosts ever, they immediately made us feel like we were apart of their family, we booked for one night and ended up staying for two. We would have stayed longer if we weren't on a tight schedule. We all shared meals together, played heaps of games, had lots of Leo and Levi cuddles and heaps of great conversations. When we come back to sri lanka we will be staying with them again. Room was comfy with mozzie nets and a key for privacy. Jude gave us all the hotspots to visit around Unawatuna and also did a cooking class with us which was fun and the food was amazing. Sweetest host family, thank you so much for having us, hopefully see you all again in the future.

Ideally located in the centre of Galle, Tanty’s Hostel offers free WiFi, a garden and free private parking for guests who drive. The property is around 70 metres from Bonavista Beach, 2.7 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium and 2.8 km from Galle Fort. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen and a shared lounge for guests. Staff was sooooo friendly and helpful, community area had a ton of activities and unexpected amenities, there was a cute boutique at the front of the hostel that my sister and I purchased clothes from for gifts etc. These ladies were so nice and caring, helped us get rides and translate when we needed help. Room was nice and location was perfect, right around the corner was the beach, the main road was right there but it wasn't loud at night, and Galle was about a 25 min walk
