Location, Cleanliness

Some minor electrical issues

Amazing view and location. The WiFi works really well since I was working remotely. Multiple surf spots nearby. They offer you daily coffee and filtered water which was a rare thing in Sri Lanka. I 100% reccomend!

Great location, nice people who run it :)

Rooms could do with the bins changing every couple of days

Beautiful view, nice place, very clean and comfortable. The best part is the guardian , kindest person in the world.

Schöne Aussicht aufs Meer und super Frühstück.

Die Nähe zur Straße, da es teilweise sehr laut werden kann

The Stables is so beautifully set out. The decor is simple but stylish. We loved the chill out zone on the top floor with comfy beanbags to relax on. The view from the room is gorgeous, looking right out to the ocean and Rams surf break. The staff are absolutely lovely people and so helpful.

It is very noisy being on the main road. Earplugs are essential for a good nights sleep. But that is the price you pay for the amazing location if you want great waves just across the road!

Clean. The staff are AMAZING! The views are great. Right out front of Rams surf break. Bring your coffee to the rooftop for sunrise and amazing surf views.

Nice, clean and beautiful rooms. Nice staff. A bit noise from the road, but that how it is, if you wanna stay close to the water in midigama☺️

Dejligt sted. Sødt personale. Gode rene rum. Smukt møbleret. Lidt larm fra gaden, men sådan er det på hele kyststrækningen, så det tager man med. Kan varmt Anbefale restaurant Zippis lidt væk, der var noget af det bedste mad i Midigama.

Alt var godt.

Good spot for surfing

Noise from the road

This was good, especially considering the relatively cheap price. The staff and hosts were great, also appreciated the free water and the beach location, many things in walking distance.

We didn't expect it to be this loud, but should be anticipated anywhere by the main road, of course. So be aware whether you can handle street and party sounds from the surroundings - it was ok for us with earplugs and for a limited time. I guess we're also noise-sensitive. No warm water was also ok, but this is good to know and consider upfront as well.

Very clean and friendly staff! Amazing room ☺️

Comfortable room, balcony with sea view.

It is not explained anywhere when booking that the bedrooms do not have hot water. Not a big deal for me, as I found a cool (the water wasn’t cold as such) shower quite refreshing.

The rooms were nice and clean, the staff were very friendly, and the location was very nice with a great view of the sea. There was a filtered water station and coffee/tea available daily. There was also a nice sitting area to chat with people on a terrace.

It was not obvious that 2 of the 3 rooms I booked did not have air conditioning. I don't normally mind that, but the road noise is VERY loud (at all hours of the day/night) and there was also loud music one of the nights that kept us up because we had to keep the windows open. We didn't get the best night's sleep while there for 4 nights. I wish it would have been labeled as non-aircon.

Lovely team. Minimalistic but really beautiful room interior with everything you need. Comfy bed. Nice sea view from the balcony. The place has a nice rooftop for sunset views. Could have stayed a bit longer at their place.

Nothing.

Loved everything about the property but the shower. Water pressure was too low in our washroom. Everything else was great.

La vue sur la mer est superbe et le rooftop est un bel avantage. Le balcon est aussi très pratique. Tout est propre et bien décoré. Proche de petits commerces, restaurants, écoles de surf et station de bus

Le train le matin qui passe un peu plus loin derrière peut surprendre au début mais on s’y habitue vite et il ne passe pas souvent Le rooftop mériterait un peu d’aménagement (sun bed, parasols, tables par exemple)

Beautiful property, very nice interior design

A little bit of road noise but not too bad

Beautiful rooms, so much attention to detail, well equipped with two fans. Great wifi, free tea, coffee and water!! I loved that. Lovely staff, bus stop right outside, ocean across the road. Yoga mats, outdoor area, balance board for use. Best accom in Sri Lanka.

Nothing.

The position , free water tea , coffee.

Likes it all

Everything , the view is amazing ,the staff are super kind and the owner is constantly bettering the place !! . We are currently staying here for the 2nd time in 2 weeks and this time for 7 nights it was that good . Rlly enjoyed our breakfast downstairs and the amazing hospitality . Our room is clean with a beautiful view . Amazing place would definitely come back

Maybe the shower could be slightly hotter when showering at night but minor detail everything else is amazing

Great spot

Really nice room with a balcony and view to the sea :) lovely people and a nice chilled atmosphere. There is free drinking water, tea and coffee and if you need a scooter they help you organize it ☺️ we enjoyed it and would come again

Place was amazing. Very clean, well decorated. Patio and terrace for chilling were very nice. It is directly at the sea front, next to a couple of good restaurants.

Super good location with view to the ocean, just in front of Rams surfing spot Nice relax zone with hassocks to chill Access to the rooftop where you can practise yoga, watch the sunset or just dry your clothes Workout park at the garden Rack for surfboards You can refill a water, make a tea or coffee Room service in every 3 days Plenty of space to park a bike Very kind and helpful staff and owners Security guard during the night Highly recommended! We will come back for sure! :) Greetings for entire The Stables staff!

It's not a big deal but water pressure could be better

The number one stand out thing was how friendly and helpful the staff were. In addition to it being a beautiful clean space in a perfect location for surfing.

I didn’t have an AC room and as I am Canadian I did struggle a bit cooling down at night, but was given some tips which helped.

It’s beautiful! Stylish and the staff are amazing

My room didn’t have AC, but did have two big fans!

Great location, lovely owner and staff, nice clean room, lovely balcony with view. Provided free coffee/tea. Air conditioning was a bonus.

Nothing I didn’t like, only thing to note though, it is on main road which can be loud at night. But I would definitely stay here again.

The place wasn't as good as the pictures, it seems like it needs a little updating however it is over the road from the surf spot so if you're going to surf this is a really good spot to stay. We had a tuk tuk so easy to get around and visit the nearby beaches. Really lovely buffet curry place just over the train track called Chill moon - we went twice very affordable and delicious.

I really loved the location. The rooms were clean and the best wave in sri lanka was right infront of the door. Midigama is perfect if you want the chaos (in a good way) of ahagama very near but you want to stay in a more quite area. Good for long stays

I kinda liked everything

The staff is lovely, so helpful!! The place is really clean and has some nice social areas. Free filtered water and coffe is a big plus! Also very good value for the money. Nice rooftop perfect for a yoga session. Seaview and close to Midigama beach. Great wifi (quite unlikely here in Sri Lanka) and the room with a fan had a nice little balcony where you could see the ocean.

I think when it’s fully renovated you will have an amazing rooftop! Nothing to complain about!

Amazing location, right opposite the Rams surfspot. Lots of good & cheap restaurants around. We loved the design of the room and having our own balcony. The staff was sooo nice and they gave us lots of really good recommendations. We also booked a scooter and airport transfer through their contact and everything went smoothly. We would definitely stay again.

Nothing really..

Great location, beautiful room and lovely staff. Would recommend for anyone looking to chill and feel comfortable and at home. Keen to see what becomes of this place, lots of future potential. Thanks for having us and hope to see you again! Yew

Location, ocean views can't beat it! Room was clean, staff friendly.

Wifi didn't work and didn't have any hot water

the hotel is directly opposite the rams surf spot which is a great location , the rooftop has a wonderful view aswell where you can watch the sunset

We brought ear plugs as the highway between the ocean and accomodation is quite loud

We had the worst experience at this place in decades of travel. The hotel has an arrangement with a local scooter renting facility who were a bunch of local goons trying to scam and intimidate us. What's horrific is the barrage of racial slurs that were directed at us, on top of violent threats. We had to take help from the local police to sort out the mess.

The location

The way the staff dealt with the local goons.

We loved the bright, clean, affordable room! The owner and staff are wonderful people, with great community vision. Cows, dogs, and all creatures are welcome to visit the property, and are cared for when they do. There is a filtered water station that has incense burning, and many plants on each floor and in each room to set a peaceful mood! The rooftop deck has the best ocean view, and is great for various activities!

The hospitality was perfect, the hosts were exceptional! The hotel advocates the values ​​of sustainability and preservation of nature and gave me a feeling of home throughout my stay. The location is perfect and is right on Rams Point and close to all the other surfing areas. There is no doubt that next time in Sri Lanka I will return to the same place

We had great experience at the Stables Hotel, it was a very good way to spent our last days in the country close to the waves. The entire team is warm and welcoming always trying to deliver the best customer experience, which we really appreciated. As this is their first season in business, not everything is perfect yet. But they are very keen to improve and listen to every recommendation! They already thought about the small but important things like swapping out plastic bottles to only glass and offering free filtered water. We hope to come back one day to enjoy another cup of coffee together ☕️

My stay at The Stables was nothing short of fantastic! The comfort was top-notch, and the vibe was even better. Stefan's warm hospitality added to the experience, and the sea view, complete with surfers riding the waves, gave the place an extra charm. The highlight, though, was the rooftop, where my friends and I caught the sunset each evening, watching the ocean stretch endlessly to the horizon. It was the perfect ending to each day, making for a truly unforgettable stay. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a cosy and scenic getaway!

Honestly, there wasn't anything I didn't like about my stay. Everything from the comfort and vibe to the stunning views and hospitality exceeded my expectations!

Perfectly located property, with a beautifully decorated room.

Just a reminder that there is no AC

Super comfy, sweet decoration, amazing staff. Can’t wait to return!

Stayed just one night, but I wish it could’ve been longer! The place is right by the sea, so you’re literally falling asleep to the sound of the waves. The staff were super chill and made everything easy from the moment I arrived. My room was clean, stylish, and had a killer view. For the price, it’s a total steal. Definitely the spot to stay in Midigama

Very new, simple and clean accomodation in a very convenient and quiet location. Surf right out the front and more surf just down the road, surfboard hire, cafes and restaurants in sight. Very welcoming staff.

No AC, plenty of fans and breeze though.

I'm really happy about my stay at The Stables, they hotel is newly opened - whole building is newly renovated, fresh and clean. Rooms are spacious with very nice raw minimalistic design and big windows. The building is just in front of Rams surf break, so you can watch surfers from your balcony (and bed) if you book the seaview rooms. It's close to everywhere, 5 min walking to Lazy Right and to Plantations surf breaks. The staff is very friendly and helpul. There is also a very cool and spacious roof top where I was doing my workouts! Highly recommend when staying in Midigama!

Great access to surf spots, large spacious rooms and cool vibe with the staff and other travellers

I had such a nice stay at The Stables! The staff are very welcoming and gave me good recommendations about surf spots, beaches, restaurants, cafés, etc. which was really helpful. My room was modern and very comfortable and had an amazing view of the ocean and the surf! Directly in front of The Stables is Rams, one of the advanced surf spots along the south coast. I'm not good enough to surf there but perfect spot to check the waves and watch the surf! And close by are more surf spots I could surf, so perfect location! Also, a bunch of restaurants are next door, which made it easy to get good coffee and breakfast in the morning before the surf.

Location is really good, right next to the beach. Lots of restaurants nearby. They are sipping right outside, or about five minutes down the road there is one of the main surfing beaches. Also they arranged a scooter so I could explore the island. Really amazing value for money.

Nothing. It was perfect

The hotel is located right in front of the surf spot Rams and 3 min far from Lazy Left and Lazy Right! It felt like home! Staff just couldn't be nicer, they always had a big smile and were willing to help! Super clean as well. They installed a drinking water machine during our stay :)

Nothing to complain about

Best spot in Midigama! I absolutely loved staying here. My room and bathroom were both clean and the bed was super comfy. I especially loved the mosquito nets on the hanging frames and the extra standing fan in your room which was a great touch to stay cool at night. The views over the ocean and the surf spot Rams is amazing. Location is great, within walking distance to several other great surf spots and restaurants. the staff here were very friendly and attentive!

Really nicely designed spacious rooms, really clean , staff are lovely and it’s probably the best location in Midigama, look out your window directly to Rams a few meters from the front door

A home away from home! 💜💜💜 A new fresh hotel at the best spot in Midigama. Me and my friend had an amazing stay here, it was our home away from home. Everyone from the cleaning staff, to the receptionist and the owners are amazing people who will have you feel right at home. It was 1000% the best place we stayed at during our 2 months in Sri Lanka and we even extended our stay to 3 weeks because it was so perfect! 💜💜💜 And perfect for surfers -> right across from Rams and 5 min walk to Plantations, Lazy Left, Lazy Right & Coconuts. 🥥 Short 5 min ride to Gas Station. Best breaks in the south of Sri Lanka.

Location great, right on the beach and Midigama is one of the quieter beaches in this stretch, so this was an equally quiet little spot in an new-ish building. The roof was nice for sunrise, although it doesn't feel setup to have people up there yet, which seems like a shame. Room overlooked the water, which was great, and I had good communication with the place before my arrival with no trouble getting into my room.

The room was a bit shabby. Now I have nothing in the area to compare it to, but I paid a little extra because I thought I'd get a little extra... but I arrived and there were bugs all over my bed. No air-con, which would've been fine I suppose but it scorching hot and made sleeping at night uncomfortable. A vaguely sewer-y smell from the basic bathroom. Worst was that you HAVE to have your windows open (the aforementioned no-aircon) at night, and just up the road is a nightclub that for many (although not all!) evenings it pumped out the crappest club music ever, all through the night. Not this place's fault, though worth bearing in mind. I also only saw the guy who runs the place exactly once. The downstairs bit wasn't open early in the morning, or past about 20.00 at night. It was all just... very ok.

I loved it! Great vibe, great rooms, location is perfect, staff’s super nice. Would recommend for anyone, really. Excellent value. Super smooth all around

Nothing really. No hot water but you really don’t need it (I usually think I need it and 100% would not have used it if given the chance)

The staff at this place were incredibly friendly and helpful. The view was amazing, and being within walking distance of several great surf spots was a big plus.

While the rooms were nice, the downside was the heat; it was uncomfortably hot, making it difficult for us to get a good night's sleep.

Perfect stay in the loveliest location of whole of Sri Lanka in my opinion. Folks just opened up the place this season and it’s remarkable. Literally across the street from my favourite surf spot Rams. Rooms are spacious and very clean. The huge rooftop terrace is perfect for star-gazing. Everybody is very welcoming and speaks perfect English. 10/10 recommendation if you want to check out the surf in Midigama/Weligama in a chill environment. As an added extra there will be some holy cows visiting the garden ❤️
