Colonial Surfing Villa Hostel & Home Stay, hotel in Midigama East

Colonial Surfing Villa is located in Midigama. 16 feet form the Midigama beach which is world famous surfing point and famous for stilt fishing.

Renuk and his family are so welcoming and made my stay in Sri Lanka for a week so enjoyable. I appreciate everything they did for me. They always went out of their way to make sure everything was great. A few days during my stay I joined them for market shopping in Ahangama and Wellinggama and also had lunch at their place instead of having to walk. Renuk was always there to take me surfing in his Tuk Tuk in the morning. You ask to get fresh coconuts and bananas and water and food and anything else you may need. It’s like coming home to your Sri Lankan family each day and for me that was perfect! Note that the place is basic but has everything you need and the family and company makes up for the things.

Incredibly amazing staff. I felt like they really cared for me and that they would take care of me no matter what I needed. The community there was amazing as well. Very friendly travelers, lots of great activities from open mics to ping pong tournaments to board game nights. Great location near some solid surf. Comfortable queen beds in the dorms! Amazing pizza and even a projector room where we had cozy movie nights!

Star Eyes Hostel, hotel in Midigama East

Located in Weligama, a 5-minute walk from Weligama Beach, Star Eyes Hostel has accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a restaurant.

Staying at the Star Eyes Hostel was nothing but an absolute pleasant and positive experience! The hostel is conveniently located on the westside of the town and is in walking distance (3 minutes) to the Fisherman's Pier/Dock, a perfect spot to view sunrise/set and get just-out-of-water seafood daily.  It takes a leisure 20 minute walk to the town center, along the shaded beach strip, with the scenic ocean views and through varied commerical stands (selling foods and drinks as well renting surfboards).  Alternatively, one can take the frequent buses (2 minutes' walk and 3 minutes' ride) or a tuk-tuk to the town center.  My favorite spot is an idyllic secret beach north of the pier where I had daily sunrise/set swims often by myself.  In addition, there are small grocery stores in walking distance from the hostel selling drinks, snacks and fruits. The hostel is extremely well managed with: 1/ manicured plants and lawns around its compound; 2/ a large porch with 5 tables for meals, relaxation and work; 3/ a spacious dinning, lounging and entertaining room; 4/ a fully equipped kitchen. The single-occupancy room I stayed has its own bath room. What makes Star Eyes Hostel uniquely special is its hosts: ISHAN and HIS FATHER, possibly the kindest and most hospitable people among the many wonderful folks in town.  Ishan was super friendly, highly efficient and rich of local knowledge.  He corresponded with me pre, during and post my visit via WhatsApp and in person to ensure things were taken care of promptly.  In addition, he offered the rides for arrival and departure and to some local spots on his motorbike. Ishan's dad managed the property to make it spotless and conducive.  Most importantly, his smile along with his caring and avuncular demeanor evoked the at home and soothing feels.  The breakfast and dinner offered here were very filling and delicious.

    As a slow traveller I prefer places like Beachbums over hostels. This place exceeded all my expectations. The whole house is really clean. Really liked the vibe of the rooms and the washrooms. Cozy and comfy beds with mosquito nets. The host is extremely sweet and will go above and beyond to accommodate you. I don't think I can find anything like this somewhere else in this price

    Great location, near the waves and some nice restaurants, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Absolutely amazing value for money The fan in the room was very noisy, but if you book accommodation with the best location but one of the cheapest price in town, this is just a minor factor
