Colonial Surfing Villa Hostel & Home Stay

Famille hyper gentille, chambre propre, ventilateur au dessus du lit, belle déco dans la chambre…

Pas d’eau chaude dans la douche mais pas vraiment car il fait chaud toute la journée, une bonne douche froide ça fait du bien !

Super nice and attentive family! Everything’s clean and nice! and room is like in the pictures. No mosquitos also :)

only thing inside shower missing a bit of power, but the outside side one is great tho!

The host and his family are so kind. They’ll help you with scooter rentals and any tips on the surrounding area. The room is clean and comfortable and great value for money.

It was a little bit loud

Une expérience très difficile et profondément décevante. Les photos ne correspondent pas à la réalité. Il n’y a pas d’eau chaude (aucune installation), pas de Wi-Fi malgré l’annonce, et aucun réseau téléphonique dans la chambre. !!!!!Pendant mon séjour, des objets personnels ont disparu!!!!!! Le comportement du propriétaire était intrusif et inquiétant. Je me suis sentie observée et profondément mal à l’aise. Je ne me suis pas sentie en sécurité! Je déconseille très fortement ce logement. Pour votre sécurité, je recommande sincèrement de ne pas réserver cet endroit.

Very friendly and helpful host! Room was clean and great location for beach and good surf spots.

La família és molt amable i l'esmorzar molt generós i bo encara que no inclòs. La ubicació al costat del mar. Perfecte per una o dues nits.

Força soroll de tràfic per la nit. No hi havia aigua calenta. L'habitació és senzilla, igual que a les fotos.

The hospitality, the family, we were able to rent a scooter there and take our time exploring surrounding areas

Room was big though simple. Very comfortable stay.

Near the main road so can be loud. Just wear ear plugs and you’re fine.

The family was so sweet and I felt very welcome. They have a very sweet dog aswell

The highlight of our trip to Sri Lanka was undoubtedly our stay with this amazing family in Midigama. Their genuine hospitality and warm welcome made our stay unforgettable. We especially enjoyed getting to know their wonderful children! They truly opened their home to us, offering a unique glimpse into Sri Lankan culture. The location was ideal, and for those who want to explore the surrounding areas, the family rents scooters and they have their own tuk-tuk. If you're looking for a genuine cultural experience, this is the place to stay!

lovely family, spacious room, and comfortable. good location

The most friendly host I ever met

Nothing

Lovely familie that wants to help you out with everything

Such a nice and welcoming family! They make you feel like home. It is very close to the beach and you can visit easily nearby places like Ahangama and Weligama.

Highly recommend this place it is perfect. Right next to the beach and the family is very nice. They really looked after me and were very attentive. Wi-Fi also works great

Very nice people lovely family with the best hospitality.

Everything was ok

It’s right opposite to the beach and on the main road. The rooms are clean. The family who runs are sweet and ever helpful.

Great Location. Very good accommodation. Very friendly staff

Didn’t have more days to stay because fully booked

Everything

We initially had a reservation for 10 days and ended up staying a month. The family is lovely, they share everything they have and try to help you in every way possible. We had all the privacy we wanted and at the same time we were able to include ourselves in all the activities they did, sharing meals, celebrations... If you prefer your space, they are respectful and not noisy (even with 2 children and 2 pets!) With the included breakfast we tried a large number of typical dishes! and we were always able to have them when we returned from surfing (or whenever we want) We share the kitchen with them, there are enough utensils and a good pan. We also rent a motorcycle with them, at a fair price.

The accommodation is close to the road and is surprisingly busy for such a small road almost all day, noise start early. For us, as we woke up early for surfing and no-napping was not a big problem, but it is something to keep in mind if you are looking for something really quiet.

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.

Nothing - this is definitely one place I want to come back to in the future - maybe even next year!

The family were friendly. Two nice friendly dogs. Cheap moped rental.

We came here based on reviews. Unfortunately we left a night early due to the property being not quite as sold on booking.com. The room was dark, the walls were Moldy/damp. The bathroom was strange. Connected to the families kitchen with a wall between but with an open roof so you could hear the family whilst trying to…. You know. Which made us feel a little uncomfortable.

Easy and comfy room with everything what’s necessary: bed, desk, fan and mosquito net. The hosts were fantastic! Comforting and supportive! Thank you so much 🫶

Big clean room with fan and private bathroom. Basic but good enough for the really cheap price !!! Nice little breakfast in the morning, host will help you with whatever you need, he also as a tuk tuk if you need and do fair price as well :) Perfect location if you are a surfer, with great surf spots and also restaurants nearby. It's on the main road so it gets busy and noisy during the day but very quiet at night !!! And most of the time you will probably be at the beach so who cares ? :)

The hostfamily is super friendly, kind and helpful! The garden has lots of flowers and trees providing natural shade and a nice atmosphere very well enjoyable in the given hammock. Plus - breakfast is included and you are a 1 minute walk away from the beautiful Wild beach. Would definitely go here again :)

I stayed for two weeks with Renuk and the family at Colonial and it has been nothing less than exceptional! These are the nicest and coolest people ever, we went together to the market for shopping, had dinner, went to a temple on full moon day and had lots of laughter together. Breakfast was good, plenty and different every day. The room is basic, but good and has a direct access through the garden. Lazy Right’s (2 minutes), Lazy Left’s (3 minutes) and Devil’s Island (5 minutes) surf spots are all in walking distance. Across the street is a stone wall from where all three spots can be seen. The house is right by the street, traffic noise was okay though. I found it nice to be a bit away and just in between the hassle of Ahangama and Midigama downtown.

I have stayed in this very nice homestay for 2 weeks. I had a clean private room for a very honest price, just in front of the beach. The family is lovely and helpful every each one of them. Spent amazing time with them having delicious dinners and spending Christmas together. Highly recommended! See you soon guys!

Lovely family and great location, couldn't have asked for anything better :)

Basic but absolutely fine for the price. Family were really nice and the breakfast also good.

Wi-Fi was not included. This was in the property details.. but it wasn’t clear.

good place to stay at. i kept extending my stay the room is very simple but it’s clean and comfortable. good value for the money. the shower had the best pressure i had so far in sri lanka the owners sre very kind and helpful. always smiling and friendly. they received me with a juice for welcome and the breakfast is also very tasty.

good place to stay at. i kept extending my stay. the room is very simple but it’s clean and comfortable. obe of the coolest i jad so far in sri lanka. good value for the money. it’s an old colonial house with a lot of charme. the owners sre very kind and helpful. always smiling and friendly.

Room is really big and also the bed is big and comfy. Breakfast was nice, everyday something different and always ready when you come back from a morning session (or also before if you want). I also liked that you don't have to walk through the owners rooms like in a lot of other homestays. The rooms have their separate entrance.

There is no WIFI included in the price. You can pay extra to get it or you use your SIM card

Super relaxing with a very spacious room with my own bathroom. Had lot of privacy but also spent some time with the family. They are really nice, cute and helpful. The breakfast is also pretty good and a great option for after surfing. The place is walking distance to many surf spots and you can also ask the owner to take you to other more distant spots by tuk tuk.

The family taking care of the place is kind and helpfull. They, really make you feel welcome. There is toilet paper available and drinking water.

Spent a couple weeks here at colonial and safe to say they were some of the best weeks you can have. Reno and his family are just the best and everything you need help with he will be there. Access to beaches, breaks and midigama shops is all perfect so would recommend this stay to anyone!

It was walking distance to the beach and the property had a beautiful garden! The host were amazing and made us feel right at home. They helped us with every need we had! We really enjoyed our stay!!!

The Homestay is in a perfect location and the family is absolutely amazing! We would definitely recommend this place if you’re travelling on budget as it has everything you need.

location! family environment

Everything was perfect especially the owner and his family. they were so kind and always were checking in to see we were okay. The breakfast in the morning was very delicious! I highly recommend people coming to stay here.

Super nice people! Very kind and a lovely family!

The kindness of the hosts, always making sure we were confortable and had everything. It was clean, and the room was spacious.the breakfast was delicious, and changed everyday! They also have a beautiful garden. The house is 5 / 10 minutes walk from the beach.

Nothing, we would love to come back, it was a great place to stay!

we liked the great location, close to the beach and bus stop. beautiful house and a very nice room with a big bed and a lot of space. The breakfast was amazing!!!

everything was super
