There is a private entrance at the homestay for the convenience of those who stay. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk and parking on-site. The location was perfect, very close to the beach, shops, restaurants and more. The breakfast made by the owner and his family was stellar as well. It was one of the best ones we have eaten in Sri Lanka. It is optional though, so you can opt out, but you would be missing out!! We met some great people as well during breakfast, which gave a bit of a homely feeling, this was perfect. The room was super clean, the airconditioning cold, and the stay was just about perfect. We miss it already!

Mirissa
Situated within a few steps of Thalaramba Beach and 35 km of Galle International Cricket Stadium, PearlDrop Waves Mirissa features rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Mirissa. This property offers access to a balcony and free private parking. Guests can use the indoor pool, or enjoy sea views. Booked the hotel for 18 nights and it was great stay/ great decision! Eranga and his team are super friendly and kind. They are all super helpful, Eranga helped me book tours for safaris and pick up and transfer to the airport. Not only that as tours are super early they make sure to prepare for me a really nice breakfast to take while I was in the tour. The views from the hotel are amazing, I recommend going upstairs to the rooftop. One thing to consider is that the beach from the hotel it’s rocky so you’ll need special shoes to get in, but you can walk in the beach and it’s quite nice. Also in the mornings you can see local people fishing traditionally. Location is amazing, the only sound you hear is the waves or the peacocks once in a while. You have Mirissa beach, coconut hill, parrot rock 100 mts walk. Breakfast everyday was amazing, you can choose many options of breakfast between western and Sri Lankan! Chicken curry was one of my favorites or omelette with cheese or Sri Lankan and waffles :) Honestly each day kept getting better and better, and since the staff knew what I like they sometimes had details with me like an extra waffle a bigger pot of coffee. Really appreciated it :) Also, if you are hungry evening or night they have a huge menu to cook for you dinner/ lunch. About room cleaning, its not done everyday as a rule in the hotel if you are staying more than one night but if you ask for it the team will be more than happy to clean the room for you and change towels. But overall the hotel and rooms are super clean all the time. It’s true that the bathroom some times smells like humidity but it’s not continuous and it’s not annoying or awful as I saw people added in their comments.

The Surf Lodge is beautifully decorated with a lot of love and taste. It offers amazing breakfast and a direct access to the beach. It is managed by the super kind Che who was always very attentive to help us organize a few things around the area. What we particularly loved about the hotel (apart from the amazing spacious rooms and the delicious (vegetarian) food) was that it is Che’s family home and has such a friendly and calming vibe :) it’s only a short walk to local restaurants and bars and Madiha’s main beach is also only a few minutes away. Thanks for having us :)

Situated just 1.3 km from Abimanagama Beach, Freedom192 features accommodation in Weligama with access to a garden, a terrace, as well as a 24-hour front desk. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace. An amazing place where I spent 5 weeks! It has a large green area with only 5-7 small standalone cottages. There are many animals and birds, and most importantly, they don’t make noise at night. Nearby is Jungle Beach, one of the few places in Weligama where swimming is comfortable since the waves are far away. The staff is wonderful—always polite and quick to resolve any issues, though there were very few during my stay. Communication was very smooth and comfortable! I talked to many people on the island, and I believe it’s hard to find a better place—hot water, good Wi-Fi, lots of greenery, no noise from roads or trains, air conditioning, excellent service, and only 7 minutes by bike to Weligama. Highly recommended!

Anura and his family is a great host and his homestay is very lovely. Location is perfect, nice rooms, living area in the outside. Anura helps with everything and is always nice
An absolute gem and one of the very best places we stayed. Amazing location, very clean and comfortable, lovely host family and lots of extra’s including a stocked mini bar. If you are visiting Sinharaja then this is the perfect accommodation. Our hosts arranged our hike, (which was quite challenging) with a guide and a picnic. Our driver found accommodation very nearby.
The nicest host family imaginable is running this very nice home stay. The rooms are clean and the atmosphere is very relaxed. Plenty of restaurants, etc. close by, but make sure to also eat in their own little restaurant - very good classic Sri Lankan food. Very close to the beach, main street, whale watching expeditions, etc.
Mahiru homestay is a place where you will experience the true love and hospitality of the Sri Lanka locals. I stayed here for a month and really felt at home. The beautiful family of 5 will receive you with open arms, teach you about there culture and language and will make sure you have everything you need! Would highly recommend!!
I stayed here for two nights with my family. I liked the warmth of the host family. The uncle and aunt were very kind. At our request, they prepared a vegetarian dinner for us at a reasonable price. I would recommend this homestay. It is located right next to the beach and coconut hill. P.S. I am very touched by the hand-woven cap that the auntie prepared and gave to my daughter on departure. Thank you very much.
Most beautiful garden I've seen in a private home in Sri Lanka. Very clean and spacious room with a bednet and ventilator.
It has some kind of cozy homely vibe . travelling solo and found a good host family in a foreign country made me feel like home. The behaviour of the Host couple is amazing, they are so friendly and I had the best Srilankan food made by Nimal 👌🏻💕
Good value for money. Good host family, friendly and helpful. Good location, close to beaches but far enough away from the busy main road. Good surroundings, quiet, nice garden, and the property backs on to a natural wetland area full of interesting wildlife. If I find myself in Mirissa in the future, it would be good to stay at NATURE INN again.
