Great experience! I had the opportunity to discover Weligama and everything that possible to do. Lots of parties, the partner school surf is nice. All day some people are at the hostel, so it's great to have some chat 😊

From the moment I arrived at the hostel I felt really welcomed by the host as well as the other volunteers that were there. The work we had to do was pretty easy and flexible when it came to the hours we worked and how we divided the work between the volunteers. I wish I could've stayed for much longer because this hostel, the people and Weligama have absolutely got my heart.

I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Chamath and Manza were amazing – from the very first moment I felt welcomed and taken care of. They kept everything clear and organized, yet created such a relaxed and friendly vibe. Daily social events made it super easy to meet people from all over the world and it truly felt like a family atmosphere. On top of that, I got to learn surfing (a dream come true!) and the flexible working hours gave me plenty of time to enjoy my free time. I'm beyond grateful and would definitely recommend it to anyone considering coming here!
