The staff! The guys are doing it great. They try to include everyone in the group. It's a social and chill hostel that go partying eveywhere else so it's perfect. If you feel like party you join if you don't feel like partying you stay in the nicest common areas talking and having a tea with others. They have daily activities to make it like a family

Wake Up Hostel was my favourite Hostel in Sri Lanka so far. The social vibe is great and you can easily get to know new people. There is social activities every day, the location is 5 minutes from the beach and it's a bit off of the main road so you don't here the traffic. In addition the Host is super cool and takes part in most hostel activities. The dorm room was spacy, clean and there was a wooden Box to store your important stuff. If you want to to experience something you should definitely go here.

A great hostel with a great location. Not far from the bus station or beach. There always some activity and a WhatsApp group to make it easier. Common area is really nice and easy to meet people. Nice with a kitchen as well!

The place is amazing, surrounded by nature and 5 minutes walking from jungle beach. The house is so cozy and the atmosphere in the house with the other guests was amazing. It’s for sure the best hostel i’ve ever been and i really recommend it. Also Bandara, the owner is an amazing person 🤙🏼🤙🏼

A cozy beach front property, with comfortable beds, a kitchenette and hammocks around the hostel. It's a budget friendly option in the area but at the same time is clean and tidy.The owner gives utmost care to make sure you understand the local landscape and is always around to help in any way.

one of the best hostel I've ever been to. Booked for one night but stayed 10 days. The staff is amazing and can help with anything. All you need is there, people to meet, activities, pool, kitchen and laundry, yoga... A small bar by the pool and this place would be 20/10
