Situated in Weligama, 100 metres from Weligama Beach, The Lost Hostels, Weligama Beach - Sri Lanka has a number of amenities including a garden, a shared lounge and a restaurant. The property is around 28 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium, 29 km from Galle Fort and 29 km from Dutch Church Galle. The accommodation features karaoke and a shared kitchen.

I had initially planned to stay for a couple of nights but ended up extending my stay to almost 10 days. The place has a unique charm that attracts interesting travelers, creating incredible vibes. The hostel's organized activities help keep you occupied in a location where there isn't much beyond surfing and chilling. The dog is a bit peculiar, being a puppy, and hopefully, he'll become friendlier once neutered. The volunteer is the best hype-person I've encountered, possibly ever in a hostel.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    The place is super cool & felt very well taken care of. The staff was always available to help us with questions. Our surf class with the instructor Avi was great! Also the Yoga lesson was the best I ever had. I accidentally left my wallet in the safe and was informed immediately (no money was missing). We also enjoyed the Nintendo Switch in the common area! Breakfast was great.

    Great location and on the same premises there is a nice (but a bit expensive) vegan cafe. The staff was very young and hanging around the place, communicating with the guests all the time, hostel vibe.

    Everything is new: bedsheets, towels, equipment , and fittings. It was a comfortable, relaxing stay. They have Yoga and Salsa classes, lots of space. Board games and movie nights, breakfast included in the price! Beach just a minute walk to. It's definitely the best hostel option in Weligama.
