My volunteering experience at this hostel in Sri Lanka was absolutely amazing! I felt just like at a friend's home – so welcoming and cozy. I had the chance to meet lots of locals, which gave me a true immersion into the country's culture. On top of that, they offered great discounts on surf lessons, and I made friends for life in such a chill and friendly environment. I honestly can't recommend this place enough, and I'll definitely be coming back!

I had an amazing experience volunteering at the hostel. You feel welcomed straight away and Manza and the team make you feel like family. We got discounted surf lessons from the hostel school at the beach and hours were very flexible. Overall I would do this experience again, as I got to meet some incredible people.

I had such a great time volunteering at the 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.
