Certain units in the guest house have private entrance and are equipped with desk and outdoor furniture. There is a private bathroom with bidet in some units, along with bathrobes, slippers and free toiletries. At the guest house, some units are soundproof. Stayed here 2 days. Wish we stayed longer. The location is amazing, quiet but very close to the beach. The room is very spacious and very nice. The outdoor bathroom was the biggest selling point. The lady that owns it is SUPER nice.

At the guest house, all units have a wardrobe. The units are equipped with a kettle, a private bathroom and free WiFi, while certain rooms here will provide you with a terrace and some have sea views. At the guest house, units are fitted with bed linen and towels. 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 :)

Some units in the guest house have private entrance and are fitted with desk and wardrobe. Each unit includes a private bathroom, while certain rooms are equipped with a terrace and others also boast a sea view. At the guest house, certain units are equipped with a kettle and fruits. What a hidden gem! Jeremy and the team are excellent hosts, attending to every request we had, whether it was transport, excursions, or restaurant bookings. The guesthouse is perfectly situated at a comfortable distance from both Dickwella and Hiriketiya, offering perfect peace and tranquility. There is a wide variety of traditional and modern dining options just a short tuk-tuk ride away. The place is immaculately clean, with the grounds extending to a gorgeous beach that was peacefully quiet (which we loved!). A big shout-out to Roshan and his lovely daughter Nikya, our trusty tour guide, who were brilliant in giving advice and organizing any outings we took. A fantastic stay with some great memories made. Highly recommended!

The guest house will provide guests with air-conditioned units with a desk, a kettle, a fridge, a safety deposit box, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower. All units have private entrance. At the guest house, each unit includes bed linen and towels. We stayed for a week at this property and had the most amazing experience. Beautiful lawns, big rooms with balconies and sit out area, housekeeping everyday, great pool with Jacuzzi and good food. What more can one ask for. The staff were very helpful at all times and made our stay very comfortable. The owners Mr. & Mrs. Dias, went out of their way to accommodate all our requests. They even decorated the place, brought a cake to celebrate my grandson’s first birthday. Thank you so much for everything. It was a memorable stay.

Offering a garden and inner courtyard view, Digital Nomads is set in Weligama, 26 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium and 26 km from Galle Fort. It is located 1.2 km from Abimanagama Beach and offers a shared kitchen. The guest house also provides free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. This was my favorite place in Sri Lanka! The room is spacious and comfortable with a nice private bathroom and all the amenities you could need. The Wi-Fi works perfectly, which is very important to me. And I absolutely love the garden. Also, Kiwayne is really welcoming and helpful.
