  Descrição

  We have a friendly local staff who love to work with volunteers. Our team is always willing to help the volunteers and they communicate in English. We won't consider ourselves as a cooperate business, means we treat our staff like family, we make sure the volunteers get the best experience and feeling of a friendly environment.
  
  We have around 6 payed staff members. Their tasks consist of working in the kitchen, check-in and check-out of our guests, doing groceries and daily maintenance to the dorms and property.
  
  The hostel, located between de high hills of Ella, is founded and maintained by local Sri Lankan people. All the facilities are a result of own experiences during stays at other hostels in Sri Lanka and abroad. The hostel opened in March 2023 and is build by using recycled materials.
  
  The deck of our common area is build by old train tracks previously used for the Sri Lankan railway services. In front of our reception we have a wall build by roof tiles. Which are recycled from properties around. This makes it a place where we live along with nature, instead of at the expense of nature.
