Chill NASA

Prabash was the best host! We were warmly welcomed the second we arrived and that warm feeling stayed during our stay. Prabash gave us tips for restaurants and activities which helped a lot. The design of the hostel is so creative and cool, we loved everything about this place!!

Everything. One of the best hosts. I have stayed in a couple of hostels over Srilanka and this was hands down the best. Felt at home.

The vibe of the entire place was amazing

Breakfast was very good and for the price I paid with my discounts, would have presented a good value in itself despite location 2km from beaches and waterfronts; Hamesh has a sweet family and nice doggoes, cute turtles in the mangroves (?); design of the place is hand-done with nice touches. Was able to use bikes for no cost, which provides fun and more value, and Hamesh was kind enough to take me to the bus stop to try to make up for some of the down sides....

Hamesh was drunk when he rolled in with three male friends and another guest (female); later she told me of her very uncomfortable evening. I was told breakfast was 9:30-10 and I booked a single room but around 6:45a was awoken by Hamesh saying another guest needed to come into the room; I had borrowed a bike the night before and got caught in a massive storm so didn't get back until late and had been assured the door locked (as there were a bunch of mosquitoes); after I said I booked a single room, Hamesh unlocked the door anyway when I was half dressed to try to force the guest into the room! Later Hamesh said I booked a cave (there are three), but I booked the single room and anyways it is not clear on the site when you are booking the MRI-like "cave." ...If he had recognized that a few of his actions were messed up, copped to it and took full responsibility, that would've been one thing; but he said a couple times, once after asking that I not write a negative review, unprompted, that he didn't do anything wrong; this, as I told him, is part of the problem. That and he had no memory of the night before. Would be a nice place if he lays off the booze and grows up a bit. Sorry Hamesh.
