The staf is really friendly and helpful. They will help you with anything. The place is really clean as well. They have filtered water, free of charge. Most hostels I’ve stayed in in Sri Lanka didn’t offer any filtered water. The location is ideal, it’s only a 3 minute walk to the busstop and the main road with all the shops and restaurants. The beach is not even a 10 minute walk. There is also a kitchen and fridge which guests can make use of. I planned to stay here a few days, but ended up staying for two weeks.

I ended up staying in this hostel longer than expected because of how comfortable and welcomed I felt. It was exceptionally clean for a hostel. I also felt very safe. The door has a code to get in and the rooms are equipped with lockers. Location was great. literally a 5 minute walk to a big store you can find whatever products you need, liquor store 5 minutes, beach 10 minute walk.

The hostel was inexpensive, quiet and clean ! Perfect for relaxing by the sea and surfing. The hosts were very helpful and full of good advice (bike, train, good price tuktuk, etc.) I was able to rent a scooter thanks to them at a very good price which was brought directly to me. Perfect for wandering around.

I booked the Double room the first night and it was really amazing. Unfortunately it was not available the next nights so I checked into the Door room. Reason for it was basically the staff, the Restaurant Petti Petti with its Pool, Location, good food and good drinks coming with it best situated on the beach. Closeby is Murphys Café which is perfect as co-working space. Getting a good Cup of Coffee Sometimes Run me in difficulties. The Coffee was great. It was super Clean. Therefore also greatest thanks to the housekeeping. And the service staff was exceptional. Thank you.

I had an incredible experience at Tides! The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming, making me feel at home from the start. The accommodation was affordable yet very comfortable, with clean and well-maintained rooms equipped with air conditioning—perfect for a relaxing stay. The highlight was the breathtaking beach view and the stunning sunsets, creating the perfect atmosphere to unwind. The food was just as impressive! Every meal I had was delicious, freshly prepared, and full of flavor. From local specialties to international dishes, everything was cooked to perfection. Enjoying a great meal while overlooking the ocean made the experience even better. If you're looking for a perfect getaway with amazing service, beautiful views, and fantastic food, Tides is the place to be. I’ll definitely be returning!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.
