What Our GUESTS Say
The best hostel I've stayed in with the best owner, felt more like a shared house than a hostel!!!

It was home not it was like home. I feel like im at home. You can cook and you can hang out with guest also even with host. I recommend this guest house to stay long. I will definitely come again when i will come again to weligama. Good to stay here!

Absolutely loved this place! Mahesh the owner made us feel like at home. It's a nice small hostel, with a great social vibe! If you are looking for a affordable place with great people, this is your place!

Wake Up Weligama is a great new hostel situated just a few minutes from the surf and main town area. The location is great because it’s just off the main street, so you don’t get much noise from traffic or passers-by.
Mahesh is a really great guy and goes out of his way to help guests and to make their stay as comfortable as possible. The surf school that he recommended is great as were his food recommendations. His two dogs are also very cute.
There are hammocks in the garden, yummy breakfast included, and a kitchen available for guests to use.
The hostel itself is a converted house, and the small size creates a nice, homey feel. The rooms are clean and I really appreciated having hot water after three weeks without it.
I really enjoyed my stay here!!

This is one of the friendliest hostels I have stayed in. The owner Mahesh is constantly working on improvements, the breakfast is awesome and he is always on hand with tips and advice. He arranges lots of communal activities so great for solo travellers.
It’s less than a 5 min walk to the beach.
I booked in a night but stayed for 3 and then came back for another week!

The host was amazing! He's such a cool dude and really takes care of you. Also he took us to some cool places and party's and Wake Up Weligama just felt really homely in general.

The vibe in the Hostel is amazing! The owner Mahesh is such a nice guy and brings the good atmosphere to the hostel. Almost every night we'd all go out for dinner together and do various activities together, which as a solo traveler is really nice. This hostel feels like a home away from home.

his hostel was one of my favourite hostels I've ever stayed in.There is a kitchen with everything you need, a living room and a great outside sitting area. As it's quite small it feels way more like a house you share with some friends and Mahesh, the owner, is one of your friends. This guy is just adorable and he brings such a nice atmosphere to the hostel. He helps you with everything you may need help with, always jokes around and shows you nice places in Weligama.
The neighborhood is calm and nice but still close to the beach and town.
If you want to surf and have an amazing life at the beach you'll probably end up staying two weeks just as I did..

This place is like a second home. Be ready to be part of the Wake Up family. It's the best place I've ever stayed for meeting other solo travellers (and surfers). It's like you're all living together, it has a kitchen you can use, living area where we watch movies and an outside chilling area. The location is perfect. Mahesh is not just the hostel owner but a friend! And is always up for doing things - walking the dogs, playing volleyball and definitely partying.

This place is the best hostel I've stayed in during my long travel around Sri Lanka. The host is such a good guy, who creates a spirit of family more than a hostel. I've met some amazing people from all over the world and we all hung out together, surfing, going out, chilling indoors with a film and snacks. Was meant to spend 1 night and stayed for 4 instead..says it all really. Definitely call this place a home now!

The ambiance at the hostel is fantastic and the host Mahesh is the best person ever! The Sri Lankan breakfast is very good and there are cute dogs to cuddle with. Every week, the events taking place in the area are noted down and it is very easy to get in touch with other people at Wake Up Weligama. The internet is good and although there is no AC, there are enough fans in the dorm for everybody to get some air current.

If you want to go out and meet people, it's a
great place. Close to the beach. Will be back for sure.

I recommend this place. The location is perfect for surfing (5min walk from the beach) and the host is really friendly. The dorms are a bit small but just near all attractions as temple, yoga center, and city center.
A bus stop is also really closed to the hostel 🙂

Comfy beds with mosquito net and your own plug, good fans, nice atmosphere, adorable dogs, friendly party host always available for any tip or suggestion, close to the beach, tasty sri lankan breakfast, option to have lunch and refill your water.

Mahesh is a great guy who genuinely shows interest in all the people who stay there. He prepares a delicious breakfast and shows you around town and tries to help with every problem you might have. The beds have mosquito nets, he cleans the bathroom everyday. When it was raining one day we all gathered in the common area and watched a movie together. Thanks again for everything 🙂
