TiagoRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Madu’s place was fantastic—peaceful, quiet, and perfect for a relaxing stay. The house is fully private, with its own kitchen and bathroom, offering great comfort and independence. The host, Madu, is incredibly communicative and helpful. Whether you have questions or need assistance, he’s always reachable, either in person or via phone. One thing to keep in mind: if you want to be close to the city center, it’s about a 20–30 minute walk, as the house is situated near the second river up north. However, this also means you get to enjoy a quiet, secluded space with almost no neighbours. (bonus: you get to see some fireflies at night) If you have a scooter, getting around won’t be an issue at all!

Seniru and Samarasinghe were amazing. Super friendly and attentive hosts, with a comfortable and functional room right on the river. The bed was nice, and had a nice little kitchen, big fridge, table for eating and working, decent wifi, and decent bathroom. A nice quiet spot only a short walk to restaurants and the beach. They were also very kind with bringing me lunch and some fresh fruit. Highly recommended 😊

This is a perfect place for a laid back holiday, just far enough from Mirissa's hustles & bustles, but it's just 5/10 minutes drive if you hire a scotty. The place is new, have all the amenities, rooftop kitchen is a big plus. The host is super friendly and helpful, he kept providing us drinking water the whole time and he is going to install a water purifier in the apartment as well. We are the first guest here, we loved the place and would highly recommend!

MackenzieRating, 5 stars5 months ago
This was our favorite stay so far in 6 weeks in Sri Lanka. Location is absolutely stunning in nature with an incredible patio overlooking the lake. We saw so many animals while sitting out there. The house itself is brand new and perfectly clean and super comfortable. This is a great long term option. It is further from the center of Weligama, which I personally loved because you’re out of the noise and bustle of the city but still a quick tuk tuk or scooter ride into town. The staff onsite are extremely kind of welcoming and are available to help all the time. Would 100% recommend this property!!

Staying with Nalaka and his family was truly one of the best experiences we’ve had on our trip. From the very first moment, we didn’t just feel welcome, we felt like we were visiting old friends. They have such big hearts and were always there with a smile, a kind word, or a helping hand. The place itself was even more beautiful than the photos. Everything was super clean, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. But what made our stay unforgettable was the way Nalaka and his family treated us. We had so many lovely conversations, and it always felt like they genuinely cared about us and our experience. He also cooked for us a few times, and the food was honestly some of the best we had in Sri Lanka. So if you’re looking for a real, honest, and heartwarming Sri Lankan experience, not just a place to sleep, but a place to connect, then you should definitely book this Airbnb. We’ll always remember this stay, and we’re so grateful we got to meet Nalaka and his wonderful family.

Very nice place to lie comfortably on the beach and relax. The surf school next door is also highly recommended. Here you can combine relaxation and action. The place was clean, the breakfast (buffet) delicious and the team on site very kind and helpful. Highly recommend😊
