Dear travellers this is a wonderful place to stay in Weligama! Initially we booked two nights, but we feld so welcomed that we extended our stay for more than ten nights! For us it was definitly the best place to stay, Gimham is a great host and knows best how to organise trips to beaches, nationalparks, etc... The caring family, especially the delicious cooking mum and the amzing dad of Gimham gives us very homefeeling atmosphere. The nice, very clean rooms sweetens our trip to Sri Lanka and for us it is clear: we will come back to our new friends ;-)

Overall good price-quality ratio. We were warmly welcomed upon arrival despite our early arrival by Gimphan and his family. They offered tea and coffee in the lovely courtyard, where everything is cared for (light, fan, games, books, etc.) while we waited for the room to be prepped. The location is great, near the beach and centre with restaurants and shops. The bed in our room, the first room on the right in the hallway, was so large the room became a little bit small and there was no space for a chair or table. For a longer stay this can be improved. The room is clean and al necessities are taken care of and the bathroom is very efficiently organised given the small space. The family is very kind and helpful in every way. Breakfast is great and cosy, as this is shared at the main table in the courtyard with the other guests. Good social place to stay while combining with a whole day of surfing and beach hopping.

I had an amazing time staying here, Mr.Sujith took extra efforts to make sure I dnt miss the beauty of Srilanka by taking me to different hot sports near Weligama, the rooms are clean and well maintained. A good stay spot for people looking for stay near Weligama surfing bay.

It's hard to find words to describe the amazing hospitality received from Gimhan and his family. Everything was great.. the location, the cleanliness, the breakfast, the care and respect! Recommended!!! Thank you again for everything and see you soon!

Der Aufenthalt bei Gimhan und seiner Familie hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Wir wurden herzlich empfangen und konnten jederzeit jemanden um Rat fragen. Das Zimmer, ausgestattet mit einem riesengroßen Bett mit Mückennetz, Kommode, Kleiderhaken und Ventilator, Bad und Küche waren sehr sauber. Die Lage in Weligama ist hervorragend, 5min zu Fuß in das Stadtzentrum und zum Busbahnhof, etwa genauso lange an den Strand. Perfekter Surfspot für Anfänger (aber auch andere Spots in der Nähe), in der Nebensaison mussten wir die Wellen nur mit wenigen anderen teilen; dafür war das Angebot an Bars / Restaurants aber auch etwas eingeschränkt. Insgesamt ein sehr schöner Aufenhalt bei aufmerksamen Gastgebern, definitiv empfehlenswert.

如果你遭遇抢劫身无分文,可以考虑入住该房间。简直怀疑全斯里兰卡的蚊子都在他们家。入住了一晚,收获了十来个蚊子包。还有不明昆虫咬得包。一进房间,迷你型房间,如果你体型有点肥硕,估计压根进不了房间。所以只能坐在院子里喂蚊子。父子两很热情推荐各种活动和晚餐。 海边有间餐馆叫DIL FRESH SEA FOOD,如果想吃发臭的螃蟹,这家餐馆是首选。 If you just robbed and really don't have money, the room can be one option.The room is teen tiny, if you are a little fat, I am afraid you may not get into the room. I am doubt all the mosquitioes of Srilank are gathered in his house. the room is too small to stay, so you only can sit in the yard and feed the mosquitioes by yourself. one night stay, i got more then 10 swelling bitted by mosquitioes, and several unknew insect swelling. it's horrioble. it is rather than a insect garden. by the way, the restaurant named DIL fresh sea food in the beach, if you want try UNFREASH sea food, it is the best choice.

We had a wonderful stay at Silvas Surf Home. We were greeted by Gimhan's parents Sujith and Shamalee. Our host family was very welcoming and helpful. Sujith is very personable and will show you the sights of his town. He took us to a nearby beach to go snorkeling. The food was great . . . lovely breakfasts and one night we had an amazing BBQ. I recommend staying here the hosting family goes so far out of their way to make your stay comfrotable and fun!

Ginham and his family are Superhosts! There is nothing more to say. Its a nice little nice and very clean House close to everything. You can walk to the beach or into the city in 5 minutes. They arranged us Scooters, served us a fantastic dinner and helped us with everything we need in Weligama. Thank you for everything...!

Limpio y comodo, cerca de la playa de surfing, mercado de mariscos y el centro del pueblo. Valor excelente comparado con su precio. Sananth y su familia son anfitriones espectaculos. Si usted necesita algo, simplemente pidelos. Son ansiosos a placer sus huespedes. Nosotros fuimos sus primeros huespedes de Airbnb y los recomendemos sin duda. Nos disfrutamos mucho y estamos seguros que tendrian mucho exito en el futuro. Bravo!

Sanath's place was excellent! This was our first time to Sri Lanka and I highly suggest staying here. Very close to Surf Point and many food choices within a quick Tuk Tuk ride. Sanath and his family were such friendly and accommodating hosts. We really appreciated the time we spent with them. Highly recommended!!!

Host and family very accommodating. Place would be great for larger groups of people, looking to have a more independent type of trip (unit has a kitchen and laundry).

Great host and an awesome location to relax at for however long. Both rooms had an a/c unit which made for a comfortable sleep after being outside all day.

Everything about this place is wonderful. From when we first stepped into our rooms, everything was new & sparkling clean! The beds were very comfortable & the A/C in the bedrooms was perfect! This apartment is only a 5 minute walk to little shops where you can get grocery/water supplies, and 5 minutes in a different direction to a beautiful beach. I highly recommend this place, the hosts are very friendly and the apartment has all the conveniences needed for a great stay!

Great budget stay. Owner was very friendly and we enjoyed our stay. Nice to have a kitchen to cook in.

the location is calm, right in the middle of naturesounds, but only 5min by scooter to weligama beach, restaurants, supermarket. the room is very private on first floor, with the next houses not too near. it has a lot of windows, comfortable bed, the bathroom is big and the small kitchen is enough to cook simple meals or prepare a small breakfast. the hosts are very helpful- organised a scooter, helped us immediately when we had a flat tire. we felt safe, trusted, all in all very homely. we planned to stay two days and stayed more than a week . WiFi is also good- even on the bed! thank you for the great time.

Overall a good experience. The kitchen is a real plus. Not far from anything. Wifi usually works well, sometimes there is no power. Quite a few insects at night, so the net is a real plus.

Everything was awesome. We arrived late at 11 p.m. (though initially agreed at 9 p.m.) due to long journey. Osanda was kind to meet our tuk-tuk and show the road. We also rented his scooter which was very convenient. Last day we checked out late and landlord was kind to allow this.

We were hosted by nice and helpful persons (all family was kind, son, mother and cousin, even neighbours were helpful with us). We went to beach and shopping easily by walking. Surfing place is maybe 15 min walking. The flat has a kitchen so we can cook our breakfast every morning. The first day was the most rainy day we had for 3 weeks so we were stuck in the flat and Thisara provided us all we need for food and stay dry. We recommend this place and these hosts who were so helpful, simple and kind. Thank you very much for all.

The family is very hospitable and friendly. They have made us feel at home.We were at home in the apartment. We cook Spanish food every day. The place is very quiet and a motorbike anywhere arrive soon.

We stayed at Orcheeda while surfing and enjoying the beaches around Weligama. It is fantastic value for money! Comfortable bed, basic kitchen and nice bathroom. Everything you need. With a scooter it's very easy to get to any of the fantastic beaches nearby. We stayed an extra day - suited us perfectly. The young landlord and his mother were very helpful and kind.

The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

If your looking for a quiet yet centrally located 2 minute walk to weligama beach, and great value for money this is the place. It's a 3 generous sized bedrooms with a basic but fully functioning kitchen with fridge freezer and very spacious modern bathroom. We stayed here for our last week in Sri Lanka and after 4 weeks of staying in many over priced or filthy accommodation this space the family have created is absolutely GOLDEN!! The parents of the host live downstairs with their little dog. They are very quiet and very generous with all the little treats they made us. The host took us to a tea factory and and a snake Doctor which our children found fascinating. You will not find a better place to stay. ..trust me !!!

We enjoyed our stay at Titus' house. The location was very convenient - within a walking to the public transport, local restaurants and Weligama beach. The apartment itself was spacious, very clean, beds were comfortable. Even though it did not have an air conditioning, the temperature in the house was manageable. Each room was equipped with a fan. Titus was very caring, he helped us to organise a day trip to Yala National Park and treated us with tasty local food. We heartily recommend staying at Titus' place.

Great place. Great people. Close to restaurants, ATM's and a food city. The family made sure we were comfortable and it was a great stay.

This place was fantastic, close to town and the beach and nicely looked after

It was one of the best our accommodation at Sri Lanka! The family is so nice and friendly. First of all we booked the place only for 20 minutes before arriving (our plans was changed at last moment) but it was not a problem! Rooms were ready so fast. The family lives on the first floor and the second one was given to us. So they were ready to help any time but at the same time our privacy was not disturbed. The place is perfect clean and tidy. There is no hot water but it was not a problem for us because the weather was so hot. Also we were allowed to use the parking in the garden so our bikes were safety. Titus also helped us to find scooters for rent and was always in touch and ready to answer all our questions. So if you want to feel real Sri Lanka's hospitality I recommend to stay here!

We had a great stay here, the location is lovely, set back from the road so it is quiet but weligama town and beach are easily accessible. We had the whole place to ourselves and the family were around to help us with anything we needed. Also a ten minute drive to midigama and we took the bus to mirissa beach. The kitchen was great for breakfast! Amazing value for money!!

Titus met me at the train station and brought to the appartment. I stayed on the second floor, while Titus parents live on the first. The family is very warm and friendly. The place is 5 minutes walking from the beach, a big plus for me, since it's away from the main road and noises. The setup is basic but I had all I needed. Matrasses were very comfortable and there are mosquito nets over the beds. Kitchen also had all basic utensils. The second floor has enough sleeping places for 8 people, it would be probably comfortable up to 6. During a weekend Titus came to visit and was very kind to offer a trip to countryside to his other house. That was great experience! I highly recommend if you stay over weekend and Titus is going there joining him. There was a little noise from nearby school in the morning, but it did not bother me. If you are going to party all night, it might. Also, ventilation could be improved a little, since in some rooms I was getting smells of burning wood. For working remotely: WiFi internet is slow, I was using Mobitel, it worked fine. Also, you might need to contact Titus to arrange a desk beforehand if several people are coming. I was using dining table and there are no desks in the rooms. Overall, I highly recommend Titus's place as a good value for the money.

The house was great. Neighborhood was beautiful and peaceful. The city center was close but far enough so that there were no traffic noise. Host was very helpfull and kind. I defenitelly recommend this place to everyone!

It was the greatest choice to stop at Maduka's place. He showed me the most beuatiful places around and made my time in Sri Lanka special. The house is located 5 minutes walk to the ocean! Great people, great place! Such as goodness! Many thanks!!!

Nice, small and clean room with a comfortable bed and a quite big attached bathroom, only 5 minutes walking away from a great beach! Very close to bus stops, so public transport is easy. Communication with Maduka was fast and he was always available at the mobile. His family was lovely and treated us with little snacks, though communication was difficult (no english). The place is right beside the railway, but there is a train gap between about 9.30pm to about 6.00am, so it's no big deal.

Maduka's house is a really nice place if you wanna stay somewhere where it is more quiet than in hostels or guesthouses in Weligama or Mirissa. It is super close to the beach (very pretty with few people there). The hosting family was very nice and the place comfortable, clean and safe. Definitely recommend it! ☺

It was a very nice stay in Weligama. Maduka and his Family are very friendly and helpful - they tried to do everything to make our stay perfect. We would highly recommend to stay there! Thanks.

Great host! Maduka and his family were very friendly and helpful. He is definitely a good contact to have for tours and information. Being a very good tuk tuk driver he can also be reliable on transport at fair prices for Lanka. I recommend him to any travelers out there!

Maduka's place is really nice and clean and he was very helpful throughout my stay although I didn't spend much time around the house. It's located away from the touristy part of Weligama and the beach nearby is absolutely wonderful! As it's outside the town centre Maduka was very friendly and offered to drive me free of charge in his tuk-tuk. The only downside is that the railway is located next to the house so the trains are running literally few metres from the bed and will wake you up at 6.30am. Apart from that I enjoyed everything!

Sehr netter Gastgeber!

Madukas place was great! He was a great host and helped us out wherever we needed. He took us around in his tuc-tuc, and arranged a scooter for us. Would definitely stay again :)

Dinu was a fantastic host- very attentive and helpful! The room was very clean and better than the photos. It was very close to the train tracks so there was a bit of noise but it didn't bother us too much. Would stay here again for the friendliness and good price! :)

Really nice and helpful people. Room is very cheap an clean! Best place for a few surfing days in weligama!

Very good value for money. Simple and comfortable room. Just a minute down to the beach and nice surf spot. Dinu is also very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay very much. Would recommend this place.

Nice place. Very close to the beach and public transport.

overall great apartment at the 2nd floor of house (1st is occupied with hosts family), for really small price. It has just everything for life: tv, washing machine (semi-automatic), blender, iron, gas oven, fridge, etc.. Lovely terrace and balcony. Great location, especially if you have bike. The only downsides i can mention is shower, which is hard to setup for good hot/cold water condition. And not 100% clean and fresh linens, but that's ok

I had an amazing time staying with Lahiru. The accommodation was great and there were monkeys playing in the surrounding trees. Lahiru was an awesome host and helped with any request. He has just opened a surf school on the local beach and is a a good surf instructor who speaks really good English.

Amila's place is great. It's such a nice home in a quiet neighbourhood about 3 mins from weligama. You can see monkeys, peacocks, squirrels etc the house is breezy too so you don't need the air con at all. Recommended!!!

Амила замечательная хозяйка! Дом находится в деревне, в буддийском районе вдали от дороги. Окружен пальмами и деревьями. Видели черных обезьян, на крышу дома иногда прилетал павлин и расправлял свой огромный хвост. Кухня укомплектована нормально, для приготовления не особо замысловатых блюд. Супермаркет в 2-х минутах езды на скутере, пляж в 5 минутах.

It was really pleasant stay! Mostly because of the host, she helps us with the transfer, finding bikes, solving other small issues like where to eat and buy stuff. She is also a great cook! She prepared as the greatest local meals, definitely worth to ask her about. The house is still unfinished but it would not be a problem, all you need it ready to use. Only one conditioner and lack of microwave are the only problems. We so peacocks, monitor lizard and monkeys around the house! Total: Great place!

we liked the placevrry much, it is very quiet, a nice garden were you can watch a lot of animals- peacocks, monkeys, birds... she is a very nice host and even cooked for us.reconmanded for a quiet and relxing stay

Amila is an absolutely wonderful host . So lovely and down to earth . Her house is situated in the beautiful coconut gardens outside of weligama . Far enough away to be really quite and peaceful at night . My self and three friends had a great week staying here . I cannot recommend this location house and host enough . Amila thanks for having us and giving us great memories of weligama the best surf town in Sri Lanka for beginners and pros alike . I am in love with this place .

The apartment was as pictured and comfortable. Gayan was also a very helpful host and helped arrange a scooter rental for me. There is no A/C and it gets quite warm during the day but there is a strong ceiling fan which is helpful. Also, there is no hot water but again this isn't really problematic considering the weather in Weligama. I have to say that I wouldn't recommend Weligama town or beach. Mirissa is far nicer and a 5-10 min drive up the road. That being said, staying here and using a scooter to get back and forth was easy and enjoyable.

Gayan is an excellent host, taking care of everything you need for a perfect stay. His home was clean, nicely designed and matched our expectations (the pictures and description). If there's anything that he can organise within weligama or the surrounding areas, he will do it. Directly by himself or with his huge network. We can definitely recommend him.

This place is absolutely amazing, you get the chance to be totally self-dependent as you have a kitchen, own bathroom and even a couch. It is situated close to the beach (max. 5 minute walk) but still far enough to be quiet and in a nice neighborhood. Guyana is a very caring host who will help you if there's a problem, but I doubt that this is the case for you in this spacious clean apartment. Thank you!

Nice place walking distance from the beach. Hot water was not working but was fixed quickly. Friendly family!

Nice place and very Nice people for a few days of relax . However , Maybe a mosquito net could be fine . Thanks

In short.. I paid for 9 nights.. stayed only 2 .. couldn't stay because too many problems.. Gayan tried to help.. but to be honest at this kind of situations i expected to offered any kind of refund... Beware of the cockroaches!!!!

We actually ended up staying in gayan's lovely villa next door to this apartment and it was fantastic. It was nice and clean and gayan is very helpful. We made ourselves at home and had fun buying food from the market and preparing it in the kitchen. Staying among locals was a great change from the resorts too!

I moved to Sri Lanka in August and since then I think this was one of the best accomodation I had during my time in Lanka. I can definitly recommend this place and will return soon.

This is on the opposite side of the beach(very close). There are lot of eateries around the place. Tanya was friendly and a very good host.

This is the second time I stayed at this place, but a different room. This was as good as the first stay.

Nice budget room for single or couple. Bathroom and toilet are outside. Wifi is good. Dog is friendly, but a little bit loud. Location is perfect: surf spots, bus and train stations, fish and fruit markets are very near.

La ubicación del hostal es muy buena, a pocos metros del mar. Si se quiere ir a mirissa son menos de 10min en tuctuc. La habitación era muy cómoda y espaciosa. La casera es muy amable. Necesitamos ir al médico una noche y ella no dudó en acompañarnos, muy atento por su parte. Quedé muy contenta con el trato que nos dio y recomiendo el lugar a cualquiera que quiera ir a Mirissa.

Made us a Russian meal which was great, also has a large, but friendly German shepherd. The family was very welcoming!

A great place with breakfast included. Sam is a great host, he will come by every now and then bringing fruits and desserts. The internet is not the greatest, but is ok for Sri Lanka, if you need internet heavily I recommend you to get a Dialog sim card with a prepaid data plan. The room is quite cozy and the surroundings are quite scenic and very quiet. The place is about quite close to the central bus station and to the beach, a normal tuk tuk ride will cost you about 150-200 Ruppes to the bus station.

We had a very nice stay. The family is so helpful and so nice it was a pleasure to meet them. The house is very close to the surf point, the room is clean and confortable. Ask for breakfast and dinner : it's excellent It is a very good value for money, we recommend !

This is more of a house stay, which was what i was wanting. the room is basic but its a 3 min walk to the beach.. for the price i would recommend this stay. Kosala and his family made us feel very welcome and his wife's cooking is amazing, and there little daughter is very funny....very good for the price and location

Eine sehr herzliche, freundliche Begrüssung und Welcome-Tea. Die Räume sind sehr einfach, aber auch sehr sauber. Leider etwas spartanisch, ohne Stuhl und Tisch. Die Betten sind gut und gross. Das Frühstück ist sehr gut und reichlich, muss aber extra bezahlt werden. Durch die beiden nahen Strassen nicht die leiseste Unterkunft in der Nacht. A heartly welcome and very friendly and helping family. Rooms are simple, but very clean. A table or chair for your things would be nice. Great local breakfast by his wife, though it is an extra. Beds are big and comfy. Two big streets next by make it a little bit noisy at night. Located 100m from the beach

Our host made us feel very welcome and was quite helpful when it came to things to do and places to see in the area. A great place if you want to just unwind and relax.

Really Nice homestay at Kosala's, clean bedroom and bathroom, 100 m from surf point, accommodations all around. Kosala is always ready for a good chat, and a real nice fellow

Just had a perfect time at Kosalas place…it's simple but really clean and you got everything you need! Kosala and his family are just great hosts, he is always smiling and just wants you to feel like home. He even organized an airport pick up for us, a whale watching trip that starts in Mirissa and his wife is just an amazing cook ! Definitely recommend his little mud houses… Good surf just on the other side of the street!

Great location, literally 100m from the beach, and a helpful host. The mud house gets quite hot during the day, and the rooms could also do with a bit more light. Overall though, it is a good, value for money option.

The location is perfect, beach is right across the street. The hosts are extremely nice and helpful. Definitely recommend this place!

Extremely friendly and welcoming host, was very lenient about our late check out, and cooked a fantastic breakfast every morning. Although the wifi was a little slow, the rooms were very clean and comfortable

Отличный вариант за такие деньги! Плюс поразило то, что завтрак включен=) Мы жили целый месяц и каждое утро отличный хозяин Сумани или его сын Аннушка готовил нам завтрак. Также помогли с арендой машины и организацией экскурсии на Пик Адама, байки также арендовали через знакомых Сумани! Очень доволен знакомством с этой семьей!

Anushka is a great, very friendly and helpful. We asked for late checkout and he kindly agreed for no charge. The property is a bit away from everything, but for us it was not a problem as we were driving a car ourselves. The only problem was a kitchen, it could be cleaner and some more utensils would help. Otherwise my feedback is totally positive.
