Jungle Host Hostel And Tree House

Evening. It’s a magical place. I come here for 2 night and stay a week

Nothing

Pool! Staff was very friendly and welcoming - take you out each evening to a different sunset spot. The also made dinner each night (have to pay, but not expensive) which helped the vibe and meeting other people.

Not much!

I stayed in the 4 bed dorm and found the room clean and comfortable, as well as the bathroom. Each bed had a mosquito net, although I did not feel the need to use it. The common spaces were really well designed, with comfy chairs, hammocks, and plenty of relaxing seating areas throughout the property. The atmosphere was a big highlight. Being in a jungle setting was an interesting and unique experience, and the overall ambience was peaceful yet social. There is also a nice little pool to relax in, which added to the experience. Breakfast and dinner felt very communal and cozy, with everyone eating together and unwinding, which made it easy to connect with other travellers. Dinner was especially great, with authentic Sri Lankan curries and rice. The host, Thara, was super friendly and went out of his way to make sure everything was comfortable. He helped organize safari trips, daily sunset drives to a secret location that changed each day and also assisted with planning itineraries and suggesting activities during the stay. Overall, the social vibe was amazing, and it is a great place for solo travellers to meet and mingle.

The accom is decent especially for the price, you have everything a pool common area and nice rooms

We found the main staff tried to overcharge at a lot, you really need to be conscience of prices and asking what things cost. The bikes are apparently free but they tried to charge a 1000 rubies each definitely not worth it. We did a trip and they implied lunch was included it wasn’t and ended up being the most expensive meal I’ve paid for in all of Sri Lanka
