We stayed (my husband and I) at Bandara's place for about 10days and it was really nice! Bandara and his family are adorable and always here to help! They can also prepare you a delicious meal. It's really close to the Jungle beach, one of the most pretty beach in Weligama where you can also surf if you have a good level. There is lots of nice and cheap restaurants around the place and the famous Tiki Bar with big parties on Friday night. We would 100% recommend Bandara's place, the house is clean and pretty, with a cute little jungle garden. It is a peaceful place. Will definitely come again. Thank You again and see you real soon, lots of kisses to little Leo <3

Situated in Weligama, 100 metres from Weligama Beach, The Lost Hostels, Weligama Beach - Sri Lanka has a number of amenities including a garden, a shared lounge and a restaurant. The property is around 28 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium, 29 km from Galle Fort and 29 km from Dutch Church Galle. The accommodation features karaoke and a shared kitchen.

I had initially planned to stay for a couple of nights but ended up extending my stay to almost 10 days. The place has a unique charm that attracts interesting travelers, creating incredible vibes. The hostel's organized activities help keep you occupied in a location where there isn't much beyond surfing and chilling. The dog is a bit peculiar, being a puppy, and hopefully, he'll become friendlier once neutered. The volunteer is the best hype-person I've encountered, possibly ever in a hostel.

Located in the up and coming coastal town of Midigama on Sri Lanka’s southern coast, Lime & Co Midi is a surfers paradise. This charming hotel is located right opposite the beach within close distance to at least 5 well known surf breaks.

We stayed at Lime & Co for a week of luxury and loved our stay! The staff were very friendly and would offer to clean the room daily. The rooms were well ventilated and kept you cool throughout the day/night. The common areas were great to sit out and relax in and use the pool and The spot is very close to all the surf spots in Midigama. We never had issues with the noise of traffic/trains but the hosts offered us earplugs if we wanted them. Hot water in the shower was great to help regulate the temperature and the 24hr on site security made us feel safe and welcome. We think it’s so well priced for the facilities and quality and we hope to stay there again !!

    Great location and on the same premises there is a nice (but a bit expensive) vegan cafe. The staff was very young and hanging around the place, communicating with the guests all the time, hostel vibe.

    Wake Up Hostel was my favourite Hostel in Sri Lanka so far. The social vibe is great and you can easily get to know new people. There is social activities every day, the location is 5 minutes from the beach and it's a bit off of the main road so you don't here the traffic. In addition the Host is super cool and takes part in most hostel activities. The dorm room was spacy, clean and there was a wooden Box to store your important stuff. If you want to to experience something you should definitely go here.

    The hostel is runned by volunteers and they make a great job! They are kind, friendly and make you feel like home!! The building is very nice, has an amazing rooftop and it’s located in a quiet neighbourhood. You have the option to ask a local family to cook you sri lankan lunch, dinner or breakfast for a good price. And if you want to meet new people, don’t hesitate!

    This homestay is perfect if you are looking to stay in a private room but still want to save money. It is very basic but it has everything you would need and a great location. If you are a traveler on a budget I would definitely recommend this place as it is the same price as a hostel but you can get more privacy and don’t have to sleep in a dorm…
