I loved my stay here! Everything was amazing from the facilities to the staff who were so kind and helpful. The grounds of the hostel are so calm and peaceful which makes for a very relaxing stay. The beds are comfortable and the rooms and bathrooms are large and clean! While the hostel is a little out of the center of Unawatuna, it is no problem getting there either by walking or by tuk tuk.

This is really good hostel. Nice clean rooms. We lived in a common room: the fan, lamp, sockets are all working properly and work on each bed. The common living room is cozy. In the common kitchen there are dishes, a stove, a refrigerator, and drinking water. The hostel has a laundry service.

A very welcoming and completely renovated property surrounded by greenery, very close to "Jungle Beach," a unique experience that immerses you in the true culture of Sri Lanka. Although the hostel is not currently on Google Maps, and therefore difficult to find, there is a Tuc Tuc service offered by the host who will take you from the first hostel, "Oops," to "Hanuman Heights"! Very nice! Definitely an experience to try at least once in your life.

We really enjoyed our stay at KA Surf Hostel. The private room was great, relatively new, surrounded by a wonderful garden. The host family was very warm and welcoming and made amazing breakfast every morning, with changing dishes. All the guests were having breakfast at one big table, which was a nice atmosphere. The Kabalana Beach is very close, max 10 minutes walking. We would definitely recommend staying at this place!

The location was perfect, right near the main public transport terminals in Galle. Having been away from SL for quite a few years, it was exceptionally easy to find. The food was amazing, I had been craving Sri Lankan food the whole journey down and the food at the Sydney hotel (linked to the snooze station) really hit the spot. The staff were incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. Assisting me in finding my way around and recommendations. I think I have found my place to stay whenever I make it to Galle!
