👍👍 While traveling Sri Lanka, I spent one week at Layback in Weligama for a surf and yoga camp. I’m only one week, I made so much progress in my surfing! They work with small groups with multiple instructors, so it almost felt like a private class sometimes. What also really helped improving my surfing...

😠 ‼️‼️Would give ZERO stars if I could ‼️‼️ Arrived to check into our private room which turns out to be a separate building that they don’t have any photos off. Every photo on Hostelworld/Google are at least 3 years old (pre covid) and it looks nothing like that now. The walls are grimey and windows...

😠 Do not support this RACIST place. I came here yesterday with a few friends to get some lunch. We were refused service because we didn’t have a “Euro credit card”. They would not accept our cash in local currency nor our visa cards that were not Euro based. I had a $NZD credit card from New Zealand b...
