The best hostel I ever stayed at. The owner Jonti is a truly genuine and great guy that shines a warm welcoming feeling. Despite the cyclone Ditwah happening Jonti gave us great advice and took care of us. Really glad I was staying at his place when it occurred. Everything was clean and maintained, the view of his garden where you see plenty of different animals was amazing. Eventually I stayed there for 5 days.

It is a small guesthouse but rooms are large and spacious. There is plenty of ventilation with the ceiling fan and you sleep well at night. It is exactly like some of the other reviews, you are staying inside the jungle or a large botanical garden! It is within walking distance from the ancient city and just an inexpensive tuk-tuk ride from the new city which you do not want to stay in. The Coco Gardens is where you want to stay!

Manushaka was very friendly and always happy to help with suggestions about what to do. Location was a bit outside the city in a small neighborhood, so it wasn't close to much, but there was a nice garden with lots of animals always hanging around.. Scooter and bicycle rentals were easy to arrange and the food was very nice with the same price you'd expect at a local restaurant!

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 best hostel I‘ve been so far. Jonti and Hoppsi are great hosts, always making sure everyone is fine. It is a wonderful and very calm place to be and relax. I can highly recommend it!

This place is perfect for backpackers, close to the bus station and to the archeological site, there are some places for eating 5min walking. This place by itself is really pretty, chill, quiet, and clean. There is a little kitchen, good wifi, good beds. You can even rent a bike ! As a solo female traveler I felt really safe and the owners were really nice to me, I loved my stay ! Thank you so much again guys, hope to see you again !
