Hi! I'm Mahesh, and I run a cozy hostel just a 5 min walk from the surf beach in Weligama — good for beginner surfers. Our atmosphere is relaxed, social, and welcoming. Our goal is to create a space where travelers feel at home, meet new people, and enjoy good vibes every day. I'm looking for creative, social, and motivated travelers to join and help improve the hostel experience. Everyone brings something different, and I value new ideas.

This was my first experience volunteering and I'm extremely happy to have chosen this place <3 I've met the most amazing people. Shout out to Mahesh, Maja, Alida, Scarlett Aino, Eppu and Cornelius. Also the dogs Brownie and Blackie are the sweetest💕💕#dogwalk It's a great place to socialize, hang out, surf, party and get the tan up @Mahesh hahhha Mahesh is the Heart of the hostel and his caring nature makes the place really special. He even brought me Magic Drink when I was sick. I stayed there one month and would have loved to extend but I had to return for my sisters wedding.

My stay at „the hostel“ was definitely one of my Asia-journey! It was my first experience with volunteering but I couldn't have wished for a better start! The community at the hostel is awesome and Mahesh is such a kind person who always makes sure that everyone feels welcome! You can communicate your preferences for working hours& already know the plan for the whole week, which I really appreciated! But switching with the other volunteers was always possible if something came up, so really flexible! I definitely found a piece of home there& can't wait to come back one day!
