I was staying at mellow hostel for one year. During this year I also spent 3 long curfew periods here.

It was amazing time I spent on the island.
Ranga is the best manager I’ve ever met.
He helped to get all our needs and always was kind and friendly.
I was working remotely at my room. There wasn’t enough light inside for the streaming. From the very beginning Ranga provided additional light bulbs and helped with good WiFi connection.
I had WiFi, personal bathroom, AC, room cleaning from lovely Ganeesha, drinking water, kitchen for cooking, washing mashing, etc.
Everything at the property was clean due to Ganeesha’s work.

We were like a family with stuff and other guests.
We cooked together, shared the recipes of our national dishes with each other, organized the parties with all mellow family and had a lot of fun.

It was a difficult time with many unpredictable challenges in the world. And my first experience living abroad for so long period of time. I felt free and safety and had a lot of support from Ranga, Ganeesha and neighbors.

And the dogs! I was afraid of the dogs before coming to Sri Lanka. Dobby helped me to cope with this fear. He is a big dog, but friendly and cute. Also his mom and grandma)

Highly recommend this place to stay.
