Located in Hiriketiya and within 2 km of Hiriketiya Beach, Bappa's Place features a garden, non-smoking rooms, and free WiFi throughout the property. The property is around 5.8 km from Hummanaya Blow Hole, 19 km from Weherahena Buddhist Temple and 40 km from Kushtarajagala. Tangalle Lagoon is 15 km away and Mulkirigala Rock Monastery is 16 km from the hostel. Bappa's was incredible! We booked 2 nights, but ended up staying for 4 more days. The location is just removed from the beach in a quieter area, an easy walk. The rooms/ bathrooms and kitchen were so clean and comfortable! Some of the comfiest beds I have found in a hostel. The staff was great, helping us book the extra nights and do our laundry with ease. The yard had a bunch of different chairs to sit in while enjoying morning coffee.

Set in Matara, 300 metres from Madiha Beach, Spindrift Hostel Madiha offers accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking. The property is around 32 km from Hummanaya Blow Hole, 46 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium and 46 km from Galle Fort. Dutch Church Galle is 47 km from the hostel and Galle Light house is 47 km away. 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!
