At the hostel, every room is fitted with a balcony with a garden view. Featuring a private bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer, certain units at JIB Hostel RestoBar also provide guests with a terrace. All units include a safety deposit box. JIB Hostel stands out as one of the most welcoming, accommodating, and comfortable hostels I have ever stayed. The owner, Jiny, was exceptionally helpful, providing valuable insights about Weligama. Her warm hospitality made me feel at ease as a newcomer to the area. The dormitory is spacious, and my bed was both clean and comfortable, offering ample room for all guests. The bathrooms are also large and well-equipped with necessary amenities. A notable feature of JIB Hostel is its restaurant, which serves a delightful array of Asian fusion dishes, including Korean, Thai, and Japanese cuisine, making it easy to find satisfying meal options. My stay at JIB Hostel was truly enjoyable, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to others.
