Second time :) I just love to stay with this family. Their hospitality is amazing: personal contact - lovely and caring - supporting for super nice holiday experiences (Just ask for what you are interested in! They are well connected.) - fresh juices and tasty food - water (and laundry service). Moreover you will have a private place to find rest. I will remember the people, the dog and the place. Thanks. Recommended!!
Maybe my best local stay ever?! Authentic area - lovely and mindful hosts - great hospitility - local breakfast - organized tours - optional cooking class. Felt connected and safe. Thank you.
Очень дружелюбные и добрые хозяева, каждый день был разный завтрак с местной кухней и со спелыми фруктами. На завтрак хозяева приглашают в сад за стол у озера. Очень красиво. Так же есть холодильник, а в номере хороший кондиционер. Удобно добираться до серфинг школ - 15 минут медленным шагом, и ты на месте. Так же у хозяев объекта имеются предложения по экскурсиям, это очень удобно.
Our favorite accomodation on our whole trip! The hosts are truely amazing, so friendly and attentive. There is a laundry service and tuk tuk available. Our favorite part was the breakfast by the river. The room is very comfortable with a big bed, AC and a nice and clean bathroom.
Nothing!
Chambre propre, hôtes très accueillants, calme, repas nickel, petit déjeuner copieux et variés. Très bon rapport qualité prix. Petit déjeuner à la rivière. Climatisation et ventilateur.
Chambre un peu petite. Dommage la vue pour le petit déjeuner est idyllique mais un bon nettoyage de jardin serait approprié.
①设施齐全,有空调,热水充足,厨房可以自己做饭; ②房间很干净,床上用品也很干净; ③早餐不错,坐在河边看河景吃早餐很不错; ④院子里的狗狗和猫猫都很可爱,狗狗还会主动迎宾和握手:) ⑤洗衣服务不错,衣服都洗得很干净,也很香
想不到有什么
La gentillesse de la famille, l'une des plus gentilles de notre voyage La bonne cuisine Le logement est bien équipé, confortable, au calme et propre On s'est senti comme à la maison Tout le monde est au petit soin et est très réactif en cas de besoin
L'accès à la plage n'est pas hyper agréable, c'est pas loin mais on doit marcher le long d'une route fréquentée
Great room - fantastic hosts - amazing breakfast - peaceful but convenient location
Nothing
The host family are amazing and super welcoming. Breakfast is next to the river, which is amazing. When walking down the pathway to town at night there are fireflies everywhere, it’s so beautiful! The best place we stayed at on our trip!
No hot water, but is not a big deal.
Amazing staff. A great family, feels super at home :) They made our stay the best!! The best food ever. The AC is perfect.
Nothing. :)
Really lovely, friendly, helpfull and welcomig hosts. Located next to the river where you will have a local breakfast with amazing views.

The family is incredibly kind and helpful. On fullmoon day they took us to three local temples and explained everything to us. This was a great experience. On our first evening, they offered us a special sri lankan Rice and Curry Dinner, which was also really nice. The food is delicious. Good value for money.
The most beautiful things in the world are not things, but people and emotions that they give. This hotel with its lovely hosts are our unique experience of touching life of great family and feeling their the most valuable guests in the middle of the jungles. I'm really grateful for the care and comfort we were surrounded from the very first minute of staying in this hotel, delicious and various national breakfasts every morning, very nice and really generous surprises and quick help in any questions we had during our visit of Sri-Lanka. Best attitude to the guests ever! My honest recommendations!

It was my third time in this accommodation and I’m always so happy to come back. The place will make you feel home away from home and the family it’s so nice and welcoming that you will feel like they become your family too. I definitely recommend to go places with the family because it’s going to give you really nice insight to the Srilankan culture. The accommodation itself it’s really clean and the bed is so comfortable. Location it’s perfect for surfers and lovers of nature and quiet environment. It’s situated by the river, so be ready for really nice views of riverside. Only disadvantage is the humidity which attracts flyes and mosquitoes. There is mosquitoes net in the room so you’re fine. Breakfast and dinner are made to your wishes, I preferred no spicy food and they always made it so delicious.
The location was perfect for us, we enjoyed the tranquility of the river and surrounding nature while being only a short walk away from the beach and surf spots. We also enjoyed the food very much, a different kind of breakfast every morning (sometimes sweet, sometimes savoury, always a surprise) and beautiful plates with rice, curry including multiple different components in the evening. The best part though was the sweet family that made us feel very welcome.
No complaints. Everything was great.
This place is truly a home away from home. The host family welcomed us warmly and from the first moment did everything to make us feel comfortable and to take care of us. The room is very cozy and clean and we enjoyed our time on the family property, hanging out at the riverside or on the rooftop terrace. The location is super calm while only a short walk away from the beach.
Kosi Giggles Resort has been my favourite accommodation in Sri Lanka. Rashmi and her family were so lovely and took amazing care of me. I really felt like part of the family. The local breakfasts and dinners (they have a newly opened restaurant) were delicious. The room was clean and had everything I needed. The location is also a gem, with the river at the backyard. I hope to be back!
Very nice and kind hosts, I felt at home. They helped me with everything and treated me to local juice and food.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Kosi Giggles Resort, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality that made me feel right at home. The rooms at Kosi Giggles Resort are impeccably clean and incredibly comfortable. The attention to detail in maintaining cleanliness was evident, and I appreciated the cozy ambiance that made relaxation effortless after a day of exploring. The food at the resort is nothing short of delicious. Each meal was a culinary delight, bursting with flavors and made with fresh, local ingredients. The variety of dishes offered catered to all tastes, ensuring that every meal was a memorable experience. What truly sets Kosi Giggles Resort apart is the generous sense of family that permeates throughout the entire establishment. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that every guest felt welcomed and valued. Their genuine warmth and attentiveness made my stay truly unforgettable. Located by the river, the resort boasts a perfect chill location that is simply breathtaking. The serene ambiance, coupled with the soothing sounds of the river, created a tranquil atmosphere that allowed me to unwind and connect with nature. In conclusion, Kosi Giggles Resort offers an unparalleled experience that combines clean and comfortable accommodations, delicious food, generous hospitality, and a perfect chill location by the river. I highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a memorable getaway filled with relaxation and rejuvenation.
Had a great stay at kosi giggles. Most loving family who took me in like their own daughter. Beautiful breakfast and diners and comfortable / clean room. Would definitely recommend. Got a full sri lankan experience here!
If you do wanna go to the weligama center it's a min 15/20 min walk
What a great beginning of our trip! We’re glad we’ve found this place and experienced the hospitality and warmth of the family running the place. It’s a perfect place if you want to stay in a quiet area a bit further away from the busy and noisy streets and parties but still in the walking distance to the beach and the Weligama center. The place is situated by the river and and surprisingly there was not a lot of mosquitoes! Every morning the delicious (and huuuge) breakfast was served by the river edge in the sweet morning light under the palm trees. We also took a cooking class here which was a very interesting and delicious experience 😋Totally recommend!
The host family is gorgeous! I felt so comfortable and integrated. They really care about your stay and want you to have an unforgettable time.
Very nice people, lovely breakfast by the river, you can order local dishes for lunch and dinner.
It was comfortable quiet and clean. You get a nice view of nature. I saw a peacock that lives in the field next to the place and a woodpecker.
Very nice owners that took my booking very spontaneously. Clean room and mosquito net above the bed. Nice breakfast view with the river.
Maybe a little bit warm water for the shower :)
Very nice, clean and quiet spot.
Nothing
The lady who owns the place tries really hard to make you comfortable. The location of the place is close to the beach
We felt bit scam with the rent bike. The man offer a overpriced bike. We clearly knew it and he said that it was not. We could really easy get another cheaper in town
On my first day, they had scheduled a repair for a gas leak on the air con unit. No one told me the unit was leaking before checking me into the room. Potentially, it was a very dangerous situation for me, sleeping in a room with no ventilation and a leaking aircon unit. They decided a guest could still stay in the room whilst work had prior been scheduled, I was denied access to the room I paid for 5 hours. Throughout my stay, I was asked for pictures for marketing the property. I checked out early after I was again asked to leave the room on another day for new photographs to be taken. They moved my scooter whilst the wheel lock was on without consent. I had left my passport as a deposit and thought it had been stolen when I saw it was not where I had left it. Again, to take pictures for marketing. I felt a lack of respect or dignity was provided here. I left due to feeling uncomfortable. I was due to stay in Sri Lanka for two months and decided after this and other events to leave Sri Lanka after just 2 weeks. I came to Sri Lanka to relax. Not for people to try and take advantage of me. To top it off, they wouldn't even provide me with the air-conditioning they kicked me out of the room to fix for 5 hours.
My stay at Kosi Giggles far exceeded my expectations! The family took such good care of me and I felt so relaxed there. They cook delicious food, the breakfasts were big and I'd definitely recommend having a rice and curry there for dinner, it was the best I'd eaten in Sri Lanka! I even took a cooking class to learn how to make them which was so lovely and really interesting. They're situated right on the river surrounded by fruit trees and you can even spot iguanas chilling on their property. Being greeted by Gigi the sweetest dog every day was an added bonus 😊 they've also installed air con in the rooms so it's a very comfortable stay. I'd highly recommend staying at this lovely place.
I enjoyed my stay at Kosi Giggles Resort very much. The owners are super friendly and the room is beautiful. The food is super delicious 😊 You also get free juice and good recommendations about places to visit. A perfect place to stay!
I love absolutely everything. *location *observing iguanas on the River bank *smiley faces of all familij * amazing food * coconuts the didn't have, but quickly organized for us * cleanliness That's the place to be! And worth to support local family whose amazing l, friendly daughter is going to uni soon!
Great family with Soulful daughter, great eating and place. Clean and comfortable, I recommend
Very friendly hosts that will help with everything. Good and different sri lankan breakfasts everyday with a beautifull view in the garden at the lake. So piecefull and very nice start of the day. Also had scooter rental. And we did a cooking class with them what was very nice and tastefully. There are two dogs both friendly.
We first stayed one night in the non airco room wich was very hot and the fan for us wasn't enough. We could switch to the airco room witch was perfect!
Im so grateful with this family! Now, my family ♥️ my favourite Sri Lankan family ✨ I had amazing time, I spent there 3 days and I felt at home every day. They cooked delicious meals, if you stay there dont lost the opportunity to try the rial homemade sri lankan food. breakfast was every day different! Confortable rooms. The garden is dirextly to the river. Very peaceful and quiet. They also rented me a motorbike, everything 10 of 10. I will remember this all my life ♥️ bohoma stouti family and definitely see you again in my next trip to Sri Lanka!
very nice family who will host your stay
We absolutely adored the Kosi Giggles Resort in Weligama, especially the welcoming family atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The breakfasts were not only delicious but also varied, making each morning a delightful surprise. We were impressed by the beautiful garden with a river and fruit trees, which the proud owners were more than happy to show us around. The location was perfect - just a short walk to the beach and the town center, but far enough from the main road to provide a peaceful and quiet setting, allowing us to observe various birds and animals. The air conditioning in the room was also a great plus, keeping us cool during the hot months.
Our only minor issue was that the room could get a bit dark in the evening.
I really enjoyed my stay here. The family are really beautiful and go the extra mile to make your stay comfortable. They took a friend and I to visit a turtle sanctuary which was amazing. Excellent value for money. It’s around a 10 minute walk into weligama town or a 2-3 minute scooter ride. Will book here again :)
