This was an amazing experience. Athula, the boss, is super welcoming, friendly, chill, flexible and spent a lot of time with us. We always had all food and drinks included and mostly ate from a buffet. We did great activities together and its a good thing that Athula wants to always have a group of volunteers here. We did Social Media, bartending and reception work. I am happy that I decided to go here and can just recommend it. Thank you a lot

I had an amazing time in the hotel!! The host, Athula is an amazing host, welcoming from the first day, and very flexible about the schedule. For my tasks I had to come up with ideas for social media and events, and create them! Athula also took us to Colombo to work in his cafe and it was amazing because the change of environment. The hotel is amazing and the food aswell, you are literally 1min away from the beach, is literally just right there!!

My stay at the hotel was a mix of challenges and great learning. In the beginning, with the owner away, tasks and meal arrangements were a bit unorganized, but once Athula returned everything became clear and better-coordinated. the hotel is beautiful and has space to grow, especially in staff organisation. I learned a lot in sales and marketing and truly felt part of the team. As my first volunteering experience, it taught me so much. Thank you Athula and Umesh for the opportunity!

It was a very good experience in the hotel. Athula and the staff are great people, always smiling. The meals were appreciated by all, the room was also correct. Regarding work, I just worked in housekeeping, it's not complicated. And I was once at the Colombo café, which was pretty nice! If I could give advice it would be to diversify the tasks of the volunteers.

Overall, I enjoyed my stay thanks to the other volunteers, the pool, and the good buffet. However, the hotel was quite dirty, and I was given a used bed. I had to do housekeeping on most days, with poor standards and no gloves, and only got to try other tasks in the last three days. The food was often an issue too, especially on days without a buffet, when the assigned meal was extremely spicy. Service also declined over time, with long waits even for water and simple requests like toilet paper not being fulfilled.

Dear Leonie!
Sorry to hear that you were not happy about our standards. Remember you were not a guest or an hotel inspector but a volunteer who came to correct or improve exactly the things you are complaining about.
I noticed that somethings did not go the way you expected. My advice is that you leave your attitudes back home when you travel and learn to respect other people and cultures so things may go well, or pay and stay in a hotel or hostel that meets your expectations.

We stayed 10 days at the hotel and it was a nice experience but not what we expected haha. The accommodation, the location near the beach and the food is incredible but the work was a little bit boring. Since we stayed during the off season in the hotel there where no guest so maybe that's why we had nothing to do. (Off season on the west coast is from May till October round about) Apart from that, we can say that all the staff and the chairman Athula are really really friendly and welcoming and we are really greatful for the experience. Thank you athula!

Athula è un host fantastico, il posto è letteralmente sulla spiaggia, non potrei che raccomandarlo al 100 per cento, lo staff è come in famiglia! Mi mancherà davvero molto questo posto e le persone 🫶🏻

Fue una experiencia increíble, la gente que trabaja en el hotel es encantadora. Athula, el anfitrión tiene flexibilidad con los descansos y días de trabajo. Volvería a repetir mil veces, un 10.

El trato que hemos recibido ha sido espectacular, la gente muy amable. He aprendido mucho y me llevo conmigo un recuerdo muy bonito. Athula ha sido increíblemente comprensivo y flexible con los horarios, lo que hizo todo mucho más fácil y nos ha tratado muy, muy bien. ¡Es sin duda el mejor jajaja!
