Namal Stay

Wonderful, family run accomodation. Namal, Shaini & family looked after us beautifully. So friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Very relaxed approach to everything. A little gem 💎

Nothing

Namal war sehr hilfsbereit. Er hat uns vom Flughafen abgeholt, sogar Snacks & Getränke mitgebracht und uns bei der Koordination des verlorenen Gepäckstücks unterstützt. Die Unterkunft war sehr sauber und ruhig gelegen. Die Küche auf der Dachterasse wurde uns zur Verfügung gestellt. Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen.

Namal is de meest gastvrije en praatgrage host, meerdere keren aan zijn tafel gezeten om thee te drinken en iets te proeven. Kamer is ruim, douche is heet en goede straal. Gratis water kunnen tappen. Lokatie was perfect, konden onze tuktuk er parkeren, en overal surfstrandjes in de buurt. Uitzicht vanaf het dakterras

Wifi in de kamer niet altijd stabiel, is op de gang beter

Отличное цена качество

Номер правда очень маленький

Heel fijn en gastvrij verblijf. De kamers zijn ruim en heel schoon. Namal en zijn familie geeft je een heel welkom gevoel. Het is ook heel fijn dat het wat verder weg zit van de drukke weg en dit zorgt ook voor een prachtig uitzicht vanaf het dakterras

ホームステイの家族がみんな優しい。部屋のコストパフォーマンスもめちゃくちゃ高いし、チェックアウトの時にローカルのご飯を食べさせてくれたし、途中でTukTukの送迎もしてくれた！立地も良くて中心地まで歩いていける！

特になし

Room was very clean and tidy. Air conditioning worked great. They had a spot for my rental Tuktuk as well. Lots of guests were staying there a week or more which I think is a good indication of how nice the Homestay is.

No issues - Namal and his family were great during stay and quick to answer any questions as well as offer a coffee/tea and snack.

The view of our room was extraordinary! It overlooked the monastery all the way to the ocean!

Clean quiet rooms with very friendly owners (who we sadly did not meet until the last day because they were busy helping some other guests). We got the impression that if you stayed here for longer you really would become part of the family. The room was small but had everything we needed, including a mosquito net, and was excellent value for money. The views from the rooftop restaurant was sublime. The hotel is a little far from the town/ the beach but I can imagine that living right by the beach could be noisy and hectic. The walk is a bit hot and dusty and if you are nervous walking along the road then you should probably get a tuktuk.

Very friendly host Great location - Close to beautiful beaches! Beautiful food on request

We had an absolutely amazing time staying with Namal and his family. We felt really comfortable, everything was clean and the outdoor area always invited us to spot different wildlife like birds and monkeys. But the most important thing to mention is that Namal and his family are the kindest people you can imagine. They always looked after us, welcomed us every morning with a coffee or tea and we also had one home cooked dinner from his wife which was absolutely delicious. Furthermore, they have a rooftop with an amazing view over Weligama. We can highly recommend this place and will definitely come back soon.

Everything

Nothing

Namal and his family are devoted to making sure you have a beautiful stay on their property. They welcomed me as though I was family. Right from the airport, I felt safe, supported and grateful to be guided to Weligama by Namal. In any way you need during your stay, he will help guide you. At Namal Stay, there is a beautiful space on the roof to do yoga in the morning or evening and a restaurant area with a stunning view for brunch or dinner, relaxation or wi-fi work. If you eat there, they will make sure you are well fed with delicious tropical fruits, local vegetables, rice and more. The location is an easy walk to the beach to surf, yoga studios to practice, or nearby cafes to relax or work. Namal is also happy to take you in his tuk tuk to show you the beaches or take you anywhere you desire near or far in the tuk tuk or van. I highly recommend staying here. I look forward to visiting again soon.

Spectacular views from the restaurant and rooftop terrace. Surrounded by the nature and a calm location near the beach

You feel very well looked after at Namal Stay. The room has all you need, the bed is big and comfy, AC works perfectly, sheets and towels are fresh. You can have dinner on the terrace and it’s very good and 100% local and homemade. Namal offers tuk tuk services and a lot of advice (also tours are possible) and he is a very honest man.

Peaceful, comfortable and with a very warm welcome. Namal and all the family are excellent hosts. To say arrive as a guest, leave as a friend is clichéd but in this case it's true. The property is away from the centre but not so far, a 10 or 15 minute walk brings you to the beach and many restaurants etc. Although there are some little shops and places to eat closer, or try Namal's wife's (Sudu) delicious cooking. A good quality scooter can be rented at a good price, and is useful.The rooftop area is a lovely place to hang out with other guests, or Namal who clearly enjoys entertaining everyone who stays. The kitchen area is open to use. The rooms have several options and each also has its own seating area. If I pass by this way again I wouldn't hesitate to stay with Namal and his lovely family again.

The view from the roof top Restaurant over trees to the coast.

Namal and his family will do anything to help you and make you feel at home. Great place for working. Wifi works perfectly and the terrace upstairs offers great view and coffee.

Amazing place, amazing hosts, amazing food!! I cannot speak highly enough of this place. It's...amazing!

Nothing!

My stay was delightful. The room met all my requirements, offering both cleanliness and comfort. The location was perfect, and the staff was always ready to offer guidance on excursions and places to visit. Namal, the host, was outstanding, and his wife, an exceptional chef, made me feel like a part of their family. I highly recommend this place for a visit to this gorgeous location.

Namal and his family are fantastic hosts and have created a great, chilled place to stay above the noise of the town while it’s still easy to access the beaches along the coast. The food is great as well and Namal goes out of his way to help you with anything you need. Hope to be back someday!

Do yourself a favor and enjoy the sunrise from the rooftop. Rooms have hot water and a/c, which is nice.

It’s about a 25-30 minute walk to the beach.

Wish I could have stayed longer... thank you Ramin and your wonderful family! I had a great evening with the other guests, an amazing dinner and some music quizes in their rooftop restaurant with stunning views. I wanted to marry your wife after the homemade dinner, it was sooo good! See you next time!

A bit away from the main part of town but an easy walk - felt safe being a solo female. Host was very friendly. Room was clean and spacious. Drinking water being provided was helpful. Rooftop view was pretty. Would happily return!

Good stay, no complaints!

Best place to stay in. Namal and his family are so lovely. Do yourself a favour and ask for the dinner - please prepare yourself it’s a lot of food - we will upload a photo.

Namal Stay is a family owned guest house on top of a hill 20 minutes walk to Weligama beach. The room are cozy and clean, the location is nice as you can see Weligama from the top and the hosts were so nice! Highly recommend it!

Wonderful place! Enjoyed staying there a lot. Feels like family. Namal is very helpful and lovely person. Beautiful view from the restaurant upstairs. Lots of space to hang out of the room. Good Wi-Fi. Quite area. Around 10 min walk to the beach. Other guests there are just absolutely amazing! Very special atmosphere.

Relaxed home-stay atmosphere at Namal's place with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. Sudu's cooking was delicious, we had breakfast and dinner here - some of the best curry we have tried during our time in Sri Lanka! Great views across Weligama from the upper level restaurant and rooftop terrace. Free chilled drinking water too. Namal made us feel very welcome in his home, like part of the family. We had a great time, thank you! Nic and Sam from Scotland x

Namal is a welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful host who will make you feel very at home and comfortable. His wife Sudu cooks delicious local food, which absolutely must be tried! The rooftop terrace is a great place to sit and work, with good WiFi and nice sunset/sunrise views over the bay. The location is quiet, away from the main strip and busy road, but still only a short tuk-tuk ride or 15-minute walk from the beach. Would definitely recommend.

Namal's was one of the best guesthouses we've stayed in in Sri Lanka. Very comfortable stay, private, quiet, and the most incredible rooftop overlooking Weligama. It was so rewarding to watch the sunrises and sunsets from here. And Namal has to be the kindest and most welcoming host! He really takes care of his place and the people that pass through. We will definitely be returning on our next trip! Also, bonus points for a water filter open to everyone to use- more places should do this to reduce plastic water bottle waste!

amazing location and nice facilities for the price. The owner and host is super friendly and the food very good!

That guesthouse is placed on the beautiful hill, and on the rooftop you can see almost every thing on the landscape. There is a water filter, that allows you to refill your own bottles. Well, I can't describe all the facilities because there are a lot of them. But that is nothing in comparison with owner. Namal is a Man with big letter, he helped me to sort out several severe problems that I created during my holiday in Weligama. He is ready to answer any your question, transport you to any place on his own tuktuk and he provides various breakfasts and dinners as paid option. Honestly, you will not find better meals for that price anywhere. Space near the room entrance is sooo chilling, that was really nice.

There were more tenants than I expected to meet. Most of them work distantly and during the duty they occupy the rooftop so I felt inappropriate to share that space with workers while I was enjoying a vacation although I wanted to spend there much more time. There was no a/c in a room. I found it quite far from activities in Weligama.

For a stay in Weligama you should definitely choose “Namal Stay” for its location on a hill overlooking the jungle and the bay. Also the owner Namal and his family are very very nice people and the house is really beautiful. I would recommend renting a scooter in weligama so you can visit the beaches and restaurants in the surrounding.

So I don’t know where to start. we stayed 8 nights with Namal and his family and it was the best time we had in Sri Lanka. Namal and his wife Suduu treated us like family and served one of the best Sri Lankan curry’s we had. On our last day with Namal he went with us to the local fisher market and we had an awesome fish and seafood dinner in the evening. On our arrival day Namal drove us with his tuk tuk free of charge to the beach and explained us a little bit about Weligama. With Namal it feels like it’s home in another country. in the evening he sat with his guests we enjoyed together the evening hours. He is also trying to integrate new guests into the group of guests that are already there. The building has a very nice rooftop with an open kitchen and sitting opportunities where you can watch the sunset and see above whole Weligama up to the see and Mirissa. All in all it was a very special experience and I would not hesitate to go back to Namal’s stay as we felt like his family. It was a 10/10 experience and if you are looking for a place to stay and the accommodation is still free do not hesitate and book it right away!!! Thank you Namal and also thank you Sudu, I hope to see you soon again. Keep being so nice and kind!!
