Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Nipun was a GREAT host, he was every morning making the best breakfast, nice and fresh after a surf session just in front of the villa. What else can you ask? The villa is conveniently located in front of one of the best surf spots in south west. I would definitely come back!
The noisy train, but there is nothing they can do about it.
Our host went above and beyond expectations
The view wasn’t quite as unencumbered as we thought
Stayed here 2 weeks. Very close to the surf breaks Lazy Left and Lazy Right. No need to take a trip to any of the ”turtle beaches” because you see so many sea turtles everyday while surfing or right at the beach. I had a nice room on the ground floor with AC (not the kind that makes the room freezing cold - but just perfect) and super comfortable bed. Internet was good, I signed up with a coworking space but ended up working from my room/terrace most of the time because the connection was great. Good breakfast, especially the pancakes were amazing!
I had no problem with the property at all. I always sleep with earplugs so I had no problem sleeping but I could imagine that there was some noise from the street/trains so a heads up for light sleepers.
Wszystko było super, nie mam zarzutów, właściciel bardzo miły i pomocny
Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo! Buona colazione
Die Lage ist perfekt. Minimalistisch aber alles was man braucht und sehr sauber.
Wie wir erfahren haben, sind vor der Hauptsaison zwei Hilfskräfte abgesprungen. Dadurch macht alles ein etwas vernachlässigten Eindruck. Die wichtigsten Sachen (Zimmer, Küche, WC) sind wirklich sauber und in gutem Zustand. Nipun der Host tut jedoch wirklich alles damit sich die Gäste wohlfühlen und das hat sehr viel Respekt verdient!!! Das Frühstück wird jeden Tag frisch und abwechslungsreich zubereitet. Die Lage ist direkt vor einem guten Surfspot gelegen.
La proposition d’annuler la réservation par l hôte Qui s’est montré disponible et a tenté de répondre aux défaillances
La chambre et la salle de bain était sale non nettoyé, Le mobilier cassé, cheveux qui traînent au sol, le frigo présentait un liquide jaune stagnant, L’emplacement bruyant entre la route et le rail du train
Property in front of the beach. The room was big and clean, lovely place. The owner was friendly and cooked us a nice breakfast all mornings.
Some of the best breakfast we have had during 3 weeks in Sri Lanka! Nipun is a very friendly and helpful host, helped us with getting to the airport and it was also possible to do our laundry. Lazy Left and Lazy Right are very close by, you can do all of Midigama by foot from there. Rooftop terrace was great for some yoga. Spacious room, good AC. Fantastic value for money.
Street and train tracks are close by, so a bit noisy even at night, but not too bad.
Fantastic hotel 2 mins from the beach. We stayed here for 4 weeks in total, we enjoyed so much we had to come back after leaving Midigama. Nippon and Asanka are both so lovely and hospitable. The breakfast is top notch (500rs a day), every day it changes and it’s always delicious - such good value for money! There is also a lovely rooftop which has a view of the sea and sunset. The rooms are comfortable and larger than what the pictures show (tv, mosquito net, AC). Shared kitchen also available to use. We had the best dinners at Neel’s restaurant 3 mins down the road - highly recommend! Midigama in general is epic🤙🏼
everything
Everything, perfect local to stay in Midigama.
The best place to stay in Midigama/ahangama, located right next to the surf breaks and within walking distance to many restaurants and shops. Nipun, the host, is an amazing guy, super friendly and ready to help you with anything you need! A home away from home, we have found our main base for whenever we want to come to the south of Sri Lanka!
Loved my stay here so much that I extended longer! The rooms are clean and comfortable and the bed was comfy. The location is amazing, easy walking distance to the main surf spots and town, but also great if you have a scooter to venture further from Midigama. Despite the location being on the main road, the room was really quiet once the door was shut. Special shout out to Nipun who was the most welcoming and helpful host! Every day breakfast was so delicious, fresh and always different. It was so good that a few of us still came back after we had moved out (and only moving out because there was no more availability!).
Excellent location. Really well run with small touches, such as water on arrival, a mop for the bathroom, etc. Big room. Comfy bed. Great breakfast, different every day. Staff are really lovely and helpful. Location is just across the road from the beach, close to nice swimming and surfing. On a busy highway, but it is set back from the road, so we didn't have any traffic noise.
Nothing
The staff is super nice. They are very welcoming and helpful. The breakfast is really really good. It’s a calm house with plenty of space. Also the beach is very close, which is also very convenient if you want to surf :)). It’s an easy 10/10
Great location , several surf breaks with easy walking distance, sun lounges and beach bars across the road , Nipun the owner is a great man with good English and good sense of humour and does 1 of the best breakfasts we have had in SL , something different every day and a good size.
Nothing
The room was spacious, the bed was comfortable, staff was extremely helpful
Friendly staff and a good location
Not very comfortable rooms
perfect location, best ac, comfortable sleep and nice host
The location was really good, directly opposite a gorgeous beach with opportunity to surf
The mosquito net was a little saggy but if you tuck it under the mattress it doesn’t bother you when you are inside!
Everything was just spot on. Booked a week, stayed a month. The rooms are beautiful (I stayed in 2 of them) wifi is perfect for working, the breakfast is delicious and Nipón Will wait until you're up just to check if you want it. The location is a 1 minute from midigama surf beach,. Drop your laundry and get it back the same day for so cheap. Honestly, I could go on but if you're considering this hotel, just do it, you'll be pleasantly surprised at every turn.
Nothing it was perfect
Loved our stay at South Sea Villa. Nipun, our host was very friendly and accomodating. The facilities were great and the property was in good location close to surf spots. We appreciated the breakfast which was always yummy! We loved our stay so much we keep extending. We also met other friendly travellers staying at South Sea Villa. The highlight was the rooftop - good spot for Pilates and watching the sunrise and sunset! We will definitely be back in the future.
Awesome location for Lazy left and right.
Nice rooms close to midigama beach. The host is really nice and the breakfast was amazing. The owner made a different breakfast everyday. Will come back 👍
Very helpful and polite owner, spacious room with separate entrance, high ceiling, new quiet air conditioner, comfortable bed with mosquito net, TV, good wifi signal, enough lighting, water heater. Very tasty breakfast! 1 minute to surf spot, restaurants, shop, bus and train stops, tuk tuk parking nearby. Parking for scooters. Very good offer for such price, I recommend!
Friendly hosts :) the room was very big and airy and the bathroom modern with hot water. Tasty breakfast, we stayed over Sri Lankan New Year and were treated to a traditional breakfast of milk rice and sweets. Property is across the road from a good beach for swimming (we even swam with a turtle) as well as surfing. A few restaurants nearby as well.
There were a few stains on the bedding
Great location, 2 minutes from lazy left and 3 more minutes to Rams. Peaceful, beautiful and lovely stay. Great value for money.
Perfect location across from Lazy Left, really close to Rams Plantations Coconuts. Really friendly and personable host. 500lkr laundry per wash, you just have to air dry it in front of your room (I prefer this way). Communal kitchen, two fridges to keep your water cold! There's a hammock to relax in and a rooftop deck for yoga (bring your own mat). Space to park for tuktuk/scooter/car and space to lots of space leave your board. And hot showers if you want! Strong AC. Wifi was good when it works, better than most Sri Lankan wifi.
Breakfast was freshly made and delicious every day. Location is walking distance from all the key surf breaks. Also a multitude of food options and mini convenience store walking distance away.
None
Great location! Close to surf breaks. Good breakfast always something new each day. Very clean and spacious rooms. Great host. Only booked for 1 week ended up staying for 3 weeks!
The location was excellent, just across the road from lazy left surf break and a few minutes walk (right or left) to different restaurants and cafes. The staff were really friendly and the room we had was Spacious. The owner cooked us a big breakfast each morning we needed it and helped us organise a scooter for the days we were here.
The shower pressure was non existent.
Great host and lovely accomodation
Nothing, was all good
The host is super nice and always happy to help!
Room was a little rusty
Nice spacious and clean rooms with AC (I specifically loved that the AC was NOT blowing directly on the bed!!), comfortable beds with mosquito nets, big bathroom with hot water, amazing breakfast, super nice and helpful owner/manager and extremely cute little cat! 🥰
Nothing! Liked everything ☺️
Amazing placeeee!! and Nipun is such a nice and helpful guy! You should try the BBQ there, get some fish at the fish!
All perfect
No words can describe how amazing it’s to stay here! The location is just across from the surf point which’s super sick, just grab a board and go! Also, it’s so close to so many restaurants and a bit away from the city hassle, which was ideal for me! My room was super nice, air conditioning and a fan, clean facilities, nice shower and spacious rooms. Nipun, the host and is so great, and the breakfast is super nice, really tasty. I’ve been in south sea villa for two weeks, and I will definitely come back here soon. Really recommend if available, to go to a jungle tour or an adventure with Nipun, was super fun and funny, really nice to connect with nature and see so many cool animals. Overall staying here made my trip 100% better, and it will make yours too! Highly recommended 🙏🏼
Rooms are big clean and spacious. A good spot if you want to surf. The owner was really great and helped us with recommendations, and even dropped us to our next stay.
Best place we’ve stayed the whole month trip! Great spot, big rooms, good wifi, right next to beach, clean
Words can not even describe how much I loved this place. From the moment you arrive Nipon is the sweetest man you have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Full of smiles and is so helpful with anything you need. Room was clean spacious and had a lovely bathroom. Is in the perfect spot for going out to local eateries and right next to the beach. Has to be the best place I’ve stayed will definitely be back Nipon thank you very much for everything.
Nothing
Friendly owner. Good facilities. Clean.
No real seaview from the room so dont expect it (see photo below). Just a bit of noise from the train railway behind the room. Beware check out is at 10am.
Great location, so close to the beach. Lovely comfortable and very cool and spacious rooms. Great kitchen and area to eat.
said breakfast was included, but I didn’t see any option for breakfast.
We came back here twice on our Sri Lanka trip because it is soo beautiful. Starting with the super comfortable bed (you probably won't find a more comfortable one in Sri Lanka). It‘s also a very large and clean room! We loved watching the sunset on the roof terrace and the breakfast in the morning was so bombastic that we looked forward to it every morning! Overall we really enjoyed our stay at South Sea Villa and will definitely be back! Greetings to Nipun and his wife :)
This is not the first time I've returned to the south sea villa, because for me this is the second home! The location is wonderful, near the ocean and a secret beach, a surf spot and a lot of cafes. The hotel itself is always very clean, rooms with pleasant renovation, wonderful breakfasts every day, there is hot water, good Internet, and on the roof you can meet the best sunsets and sunrises. Nipun (the manager of guesthouse) is wonderful, always there and ready to help with any questions. I highly recommend south sea villa for living, because there is a special atmosphere here ✨
I didn't like the fact that my stay in Sri Lanka ended very quickly 😅
wonderful place to stay, some really good surf breaks within minutes walk. The owner and his staff are amazing people and would recommend to anyone. thanks. 👌👌👌
nothing
Nipon, the owner, is an amazing human being. He even cooked vegan breakfast (rice and curry) for me everyday which I highly appreciate. He loves to cook and learn new recipes. When I saw how his eyes glowed up talking about safari trips, I knew we had to book a tour with him. Next time a proper one and not on short notice. He is trustworthy and creates a very nice atmosphere in the guesthouse.
