About the experience in: Weligama, Sri Lanka
Australia
I had such a great time volunteering at the surf hostel in Weligama I can’t recommend it more. It was low season so the work was chill. Everyone is so lovely and you really get immersed with locals. The hostel is partnered with a surf school on the beach which gave discounted lessons and Manza was flexible with hours to accomodate for lessons.

The experience at The Surf Hostel Weligama was incredible. Samith is part of the hostel family, you meet new people every day, you feel welcomed, and every day you have fun in many different ways. Overall, the tasks are very simple and the vibe is amazing. Thank you for the opportunity.

My experience at The Surf Hostel began positively: welcoming vibe, light tasks (off-season), and plenty of time to explore. The hostel was clean, with a great social space to meet others. Unfortunately, I left earlier than planned due to an uncomfortable situation that, as a woman, made me feel uneasy. I believe every volunteer deserves a respectful and safe environment, and certain comments simply shouldn’t happen in a professional setting. I appreciated that when I voiced my concerns, they were supportive and understanding of my decision.

I have had the best time volunteering here. I was meant to only stay 2 weeks and ended up staying for 1 month! Manza and the team here feel like family, you always feel looked after here. In terms of work, as its low season right now it really depends on how many check ins/outs we have that day. Because of this the hours are flexible and you have plenty of free time to go and explore other learn to surf! I highly recommend this hostel for others looking to volunteer and I can't wait to come back and visit in high season!

The Surf Hostel became a little home to me during my time in Weligama! Manza was always so kind and flexible with tasks. I helped with the social media & it was so fun to put videos together for their page. I did come during the low season so it was very chill but so special. Be cool surf school was also awesome & the volunteers got a discount of board rentals! There’s a lot of time to connect with the other volunteers/ guests. We went to parties, played pool, & beer pong during the nights & each night has an organized activity. The accommodation was comfortable & I had a great time!🥰

Briana joined us for a week to help with social media, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She created some amazing reels that really captured the vibe of our place and helped boost our online presence. Beyond her creative work, Briana was super supportive, proactive, and easy to work with. She fit in well with the team and brought a great energy to the hostel.
