I had relaxed days in the guest house. It was low season so the work was pretty chill. Basically help in the breakfast. Everyone that works there was super kind with me. Since there was no other volunteers, I had the room to myself and I also had surf classes with Ashan, that was definitely the highlight! Im glad that I had the chance of staying in the guest house. Thank you so much 🙏🏼

This was my first ever Worldpackers experience! My goal before arriving at the guest house was to learn how to surf and meet locals and other travelers, and I was blessed enough to have those goals fulfilled here. The entire the guest house staff are incredibly hard working people whom I have so much respect for. the guest house is in an amazing location in Sri Lanka with being so close to the beach and delicious restaurants. The only downside to that is its right off a main road so it can be noisy from all the traffic. Overall, if your looking to surf or learn and meet amazing people, this is the place:)

I had a great time volunteering at the guest house, I really enjoyed my stay and felt comfortable from the start. The work was as agreed and we had plenty of free time to explore the town and surroundings. Working with the locals was a lot of fun and a great experience. The atmposphere was very warm and familiar, and the accomodation was cozy and comfortable. We were able to use the surfboards and even join the surflessons if we wanted, which was a big Highlight. I met amazing people and made great new friends. Overall I highly recommend this volunteering!

I've had the time of my life at the guest house! Paula and Rudolfo are the kindest hosts and truly make you feel like part of a big family. My daily tasks were preparing breakfast for the guests and helping a bit with housekeeping. I also got to use their surfboards whenever I wanted, and they motivated me to progress my surfing heaps. The whole team at the guest house is incredible. I've spent countless hours laughing with Ashan, Kauchi and Chamil — I'll really miss being around them every day 🥲 Thank you for making this place feel like home ❤️

If I could, I'd give the guest house 10 stars! From day one, I felt at home. Paula and Rudolfo aren't just great hosts – they make you feel like family (just with more surfboards in the backyard). My time here was a mix of work, laughter, surfing, and unforgettable people. the guest house is where you build connections that last longer than my sunburn. If you're looking for the perfect balance of work, surf, and chill with amazing people – this is it. Thank you for everything.
