Hummus Hostel & Restaurant

Stayed in a dorm with a friend and we both loved it! The beds are sooo comfy and the place is very clean. Location is great - very near to the beaches, stores and restaurants. But we actually ate at the hostel also cause they make such a good arabic food there. The owner Oday is very warm & welcoming and gave us lots of good tips about what to do and where to go. Good place to meet cool like-minded people, hang out and sleep. We also joined free yoga classes, what a great way to start your day. Definitely recommend to anyone going to Hikkaduwa to stay or eat here!!

Review: My recent stay at hummus larla villa at hikkadua was unfortunately far from satisfactory. The lack of essential amenities such as drinking water and running water in the bathroom left me utterly disappointed. when u call and ask they send water and food they wont send if u pay also still a big no as they want u to spend minimum 100 thousand Still without a complain we came and this people have guts to call us cheap travelers Adding to the inconvenience, the hotel's location, situated 7 km away from any restaurants or convenience stores, made it even more challenging to access basic necessities. To exacerbate matters, when we voiced our concerns about the absence of amenities and the inconvenient location, Actually they are fraud as they never mention where the villa is situated after taking the advance money he told us that we have to go 7 km away For your kind information hummus restaurant All travelers are just travelers and that’s your bread and butter First kindly repair your villa where snakes 🐍 are visiting very often and then call any travelers cheap Hurt with your words more then the service Will never recommend

I really enjoyed my time at this hostel. It had a good vibe and easy to meet people in the communal areas. The staff were all really helpful and the whole hostel was always clean. I’d definitely recommend trying the food, it is so delicious! It’s also a really good location as it’s seconds away from the beach.

I originally planned to stay here for 4 nights, but ended up staying for 1. The team were happy to accommodate this change in booking, I would have covered 2 nights if required for notice period on cancelling nights. I booked it on the basis of lots of high praise reviews, but without a bad word said, I was slightly suspicious. I had a double room which was clean, but the shower wall was damp in the bedroom and the A/C did not function very well. I felt the atmosphere was also a bit lacking - its a very large building for a small amount of people. I left an honest and fair HostelWorld review after I left, and then received threatening messages to my instagram (see photo). This reported I didn't pay (I did) and that I would be reported to the police. My review (which was 7/10) was then removed from Hostelworld, leaving only glowing 10/10 reviews. The hostel was not a 5* experience for me, but was fine for 1 night. I'm glad I changed hostel, and I wouldn't return after the messages I revived.

What a great hostel, the location, the views and the hospitality is like nowhere else. The whole place is super clean, rooms with AC, nice lounge chairs, great music and laid back atmosphere. Definitely would recommend it!

Very friendly owner and staff! Big rooms, very clean with nice showers. They offer tea, coffee and water for free. The location is perfect, you can reach everything by walk. I can 100% recommend that place.
