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.

My experience at the Sixth Sense Hostel was absolutely incredible! It was like no other stay I've ever had. The hostel is located in a beautiful and calm place, just a 10-minute walk from the beach. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The manager - Sam, always made sure we had everything we needed for a fantastic time. The accommodation was comfortable, very clean and cozy & relaxing. What's more, there's free laundry. It was truly the best hostel I've ever been to. Totally recommend. You should come and experience it!

Nice hostel, good and clean rooms, nice beds. Budget Friendly. They have fans for each bed but there's no AC. However it's manageable.

I can honestly say that this was the best hostel I’ve stayed at in Sri Lanka. The whole building, including the rooms, was so clean and stylish. The location was perfect because you’re amidst the jungle away from the crowd and noise, yet only a short walk to the beach. The staff are all lovely and caring - the best hospitality standard I’ve come across. Plus the food is freshly made… authentic Arabic dishes that taste incredible! This place has my heart! I booked 2 nights but ended up staying 5! Thank you Habibi team 🌷🌀💗

About a 10-15 minute walk from Galle Fort, Backpacker Galle Hostel is tucked away in a wooded area just off a side street. This meant that it was quiet and easy to get to the main attractions in Galle. I never waited long for the bathroom, and I liked that there were plenty of hangers inside the bathroom.
