We stayed 3 months with Kurulu Chandima reween and ayuli ♥️ if you are reading this right now, you are very lucky because you just found a place that feels like home! 🏡 I’m pretty sure they have the best garden in midigama. Chandima takes care of it like it’s her third child🌴🌺 Leguan, Peacocks, Monguls, birds, squirrel and monkeys are coming everyday to say hello 😊 the rooms are super clean!! And get cleaned every week. 🧹 they are offering delicious food 🥘 (our personal favs are rice & curry AND grilled chicken) Kurulu is always helping with anything you need! We can highly recommend to stay at midigama inn 😊
The room looks exactly like it does in the pictures. The property has a huge garden with all kinds of animals wandering around - such a peaceful place! It’s away from the noise of the train lines and main streets, yet still just a few minutes away. The neighborhood feels very safe - I always felt comfortable walking alone after dark. The hosts are wonderful, a very kind family who help with anything you might need to make your stay comfortable and hassle-free.
Tout ! La gentillesse des propriétaires, l'emplacement, les équipements
Tolle Lage in Midigama, sehr liebe Gastgeber, Terrasse zum Draußen sitzen, bequemes Bett
Um den Preis, haben wir nichts auszusetzen
Beautiful homestay, the room was spotless and Kurulu and his family were the loveliest people. The food was absolutely delicious, big portions and really good value. Great location, tucked away from the busy tourist area but close enough to walk everywhere. Can also visit weligama and Ahangama very easily by 5 mins bus or tuktuk.
chandima and kurulu created a very beautiful space where you feel like home. it’s very clean, tidy and has everything you need. confortable bed, mosquito net and the best food we had so far in sri lanka, directly on your terrasse. if you need something, kurulu will help you organize it. for example a scooter delivered on you‘re doorstep. we will surely come again. thank you very much 🙏🏽
Der Besitzer und seiner Familie sind sehr sehr nett und herzlich! Das Sri Lanka Frühstück war ausgezeichnet Die Unterkunft war sauber und mitten in der Natur. Ich konnte Pfauen, Affen und eine Indische Graumanguste in der Unterkunft sehen.
Keine AC; dafür aber einen Ventilator wodurch man es in der Nacht auch aushält
Everything was very great and we left very happy, we very much enjoyed our stay!! Highly recommend! Outstanding hospitality and food by a truely lovely family, thank you once again! We will definitely come back :)
Immersi letteralmente in una foresta, tra Ahangama e Weligama. I proprietari super carini e disponibili ad accontentare ogni richiesta.
Beautiful family . Wonderful stay! We consider ourselves food lovers, and oh my goodness, the food for dinner was amazing! We loved our stay surrounded by wildlife monkeys, mongoose, squirrels.

Kurulu and his Family are amazing. He can help you with anything you need. The food is super delicious. Very beautiful home and perfect location, quiet surrounded by nature but quick walk to the beach and restaurants.
We only stayed 1 night, however really enjoyed the accomodation! The people here were so kind, and really helpful. The room itself was lovely and clean. If we ever return to Midigama we would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!
It was a very nice place to stay and we were given a very warm welcome. super comfortable bed. lots of nature and very quiet.
This place is cleaner than your mom's house and the family who runs it are so incredibly nice. Tucked away at the end of a small lane, some 400m from Midigama Beach, you will find peace and tranquility here. Kurulu and his amazing family will cook you the best Sri Lankan food and they will help you with everything. I have stayed many places in Sri Lanka over the years but Midigama Inn will give me and my family lasting memories. Ayubowan and thank you so much for hosting us!
Stayed for a week and didnt want to leave! Beautiful place in a quite area, surrounded by nature. Experienced so much wild life in here. Family's kindness and hospitality makes you feel part of it. Lovely home made food. Super comfy bed and spacious room & bathroom. Will definitely come back!
It was simply the best stay ever! Kurulu and his lovely family makes the stay so wonderful, they are nice and thoughtful. They also make the best food in Sri Lanka, tasty meals and very fresh ingredients too. Also the room has all the facilities that you’ll need. Is very close to a nice beach and other restaurants.
I loved my stay at Midigama Inn! The location is in nature surrounded by a lot of wildlife but only a 7 minute walk from the beach and restaurants are close as well. The room itself is big, clean, looks new and comes with a little terrace in front of it. Wifi is fast and suitable for working as well and the owners are incredibly kind and welcoming. If you have the chance, try their curry, it tastes amazing!

Please read this before booking ❗️❗️ we booked our room in november for a week between 20-26 january. It was confirmed. We arrived there at 20th january and after we put our belongings in the room they told us there is something wrong and they said they canceled our booking 4 days ago. But we didn’t know it was canceled because it was still confirmed when we checked the booking.com again. They canceled our booking because another guest wanted to book the room longer than us. We were so excited to stay there but it didn’t go as we planned. He managed to find a room in another hotel for us and told us they have ac as well but it was really disappointing because ac wasn’t working as it should be and there wasn’t hot water and wifi. We were planning our trip from months ago and his cancelation ruined our week in Midigama. Unfortunately not recommending this place because of what they did to us.They gave us this room
Friendly staff, quiet, convenient location close to everything. Good food.
The location itself is quiet, but the family that runs this hotel is very loud! They're constantly talking right outside your door, on the phone, kids screaming, listening to music at full volume. In this regard, some locals do not understand that this is unacceptable and it causes great inconvenience to the guests! The kitchen is right next to the room and the noise and smell are constantly nearby!
The hosts were very nice and made you feel at home right away. Beautiful garden and away from the noise of the main road.
Wow, what can I say! Kurulu and his family gave us a magical stay. We originally planned to stay for a week and ended up staying at Midigama Inn for a whole month. The rooms are very well thought out and comfortable. The food tastes fantastic, it is beautifully situated in the middle of nature and calm and yet very close to everything Midigama has to offer (restaurants, beach, surf spots, etc.) You definitely have to try the Cooking Class - Chandima & Kurulu explained to us in great detail how to create the best rice & curry! They know the area well and can help with anything. Really thank you for everything! <3
Midigama inn is probably the guesthouse With the best quality/price ratio I have been in many years or travel. it s very quiet and clean, has a beautiful garden and kuluru and his family will do everything for you: from pickup to cooking classes. When I was there they did the best possible thing: they prepared (completely for free) the best possible New Years feast you could imagine. It felt like home and, differently than many other guesthouses, it felt authentic. Not to mention that it was delicious and also wonderfully arranged and prepared: not just a joy for eating but also for the eyes, which in my experience is not so common in Sri Lanka, unless you go to “western oriented” places, run by Europeans and with European prices! Every day, for example, I had fresh lotus flowers on my table: it was so nice! kuluru also helped me find another accommodation when I decided to stay longer in Midigama and he was fully booked Things to mention just to set expectations: - Midigama inn is in a little road about 8 mins walk from the street, 4 mins from main road: this guarantee peace and quiet but bring a light to come back at night (or your phone :) - No AC and no hot water: Very common in Midigama and Kuluru can arrange for you a pot with boiling water so that you can still have your hot shower
We had the most amazing stay in Kurulu’s and Chandima‘s wonderful place. As we arrived we felt straigt away like home. Both of them are one of the kindest and warmest people we met during our travels. Beside that Midigama Inn is a fantastic family-run homestay nestled in nature, perfect for a quiet getaway. Chandima‘s food is incredible - especially the pineapple is to die for! We already miss this place and it‘s lovely people and can‘t wait to come back. Thank you for all your amazing hospitality. ❤️
That we couldn't stay any longer. :)
This was the most wonderful place we found on our travels through Sri Lanka. Very relaxing location, just a few minutes away from everything you need. Quiet and romantic atmosphere, waking up to the sounds of the jungle. Clean rooms and very comfy beds. We only booked two nights but ended up staying for more than a week. The hosting family was amazingly kind to us and made us feel like home from the very first second. Also, we had the best curry on our journey right here. (and we had lots of currys) Thank you for having us! :)
Everything is very clean, the room is perfectly located. Close to the beach but far from the noise. The hosts are super kind and offer their help for whatever we needed. All in all just a super nice experience and we would always book the room again. Thank you so much!
That it was booked and we couldn’t extend our stay. So make sure to book early ;)
Such a beautiful local family, very kind and loving. They are both very eager to fulfill all your needs, from delicious food to scooters or bicycles. The place is located in such a natural jungle area, i felt very safe. Definitely coming back
The most wonderful and kind family, and a very quiet, green area yet only short walk from town/beach. And the food they make is incredible!
Very queit and clean.The property owener and family very kind , helpful,feeling like home. They arrange very nice food also.we highly recomend this place. Thànk you so much once again.
Nothing. Every thing we got it what we want.
This is absolutely the best stay I have had in Sri Lanka ❤️ The moment I arrived at Midigama Inn I felt like home. Kurulu & his family will always meet you with so much happiness, always ready to help you with whatever you need. As a solo female traveler, it is important to feel safe and I felt so safe at Midigama Inn. I was supposed to stay 2 nights but ended up staying 10 nights, and I never want to leave. On my first day I did the cooking class and learned so much about different curries, and had the best food experience so far in Sri Lanka. The location is perfect for you who wants to be close to nature but still close to beach & main road. I love surfing, and the location is perfect for surfing at Lazy left & right and also Fisherman’s point. Make sure you visit Babas sunset cafe on the beach! There is some shops renting out surfboards on mainroad. The garden is absolutely stunning, always surrounded with flowers. They put beautiful decorations of flowers that they put in the room and outside of the room. The room is very clean, spacious & bed is so comfortable! I am very adventurous and Kurulu helped me to arrange with all the details to explore the surroundings and to explore Sri Lanka like a local. I saw different beaches, many different Buddhist temples, elephant safari, jungle, Sinharaja, mountains. Ask Kurulu, he will arrange everything for you for a good price! :) Thank you so much for all the happiness, love, help, support, beautiful and interesting talks. And the best food!!! I will always be grateful that I have stayed here❤️

The time I spent at the guesthouse midigama Inn Birds Lodge was a tousand times better than I could have ever imagined❤️ I planned to stay only for a few days and ended up not wanting to leave and extended my stay for almost a month. If you are lucky enough to get a room here you will be able to enjoy a spacious room in a peaceful place close to nature with everything you need. And if you do need anything else, Kurulu and Chandima are always eager to help! The way they love to host guests and put their heart in it is truly wonderful and unique! If you need to work or write etc. there are great possibilities and you can watch the monkeys, mongoose, peacocks, birds etc. right in front of your room! The mosquito net is very good and the nights are super calm and relaxing with the sound of nature. Furthermore you get to live next to this vibrant family, meet these openminded and -hearted people. My stay at the midigama Inn made me fall in love with Sri Lankan culture, hospitality and nature❤️🇱🇰 I will be back 100% :)
We had the loveliest and most peaceful stay here at Midigama Inn. The family are so kind and welcoming. They have put an incredible amount of effort in to making everything about the stay feel special. We were offered delicious tea and coffee throughout the day, saw peacocks, mongoose, deer, lizards and monkeys, and they also put fresh flower arrangements in front of each room for the guests. Showers were great, rooms were clean, bed is huge and very comfortable with a very effective mosquito net! Fantastic wifi! If you have the chance to stay here, please do!!
Lovely place, lovely family 💕 Thank you everything to make me feel safe and comfortable like a home. Everything was very clean ! Near by yoga studio (15m by bicycle), very close to the beach Midigama.
The place is sourrounded by nature, which i loved much. However you have to prepare for the mosquitos.
10 minutes from the main road so was lovely and peaceful. The best part was the family and how friendly they were! I also loved the lime juice they gave me when I arrived YUM!! They were so kind and did my laundry for me and really responsive over message. I felt so safe here and want to come back and do a cooking class with them!
Wish I could have stayed for longer !
I had a very nice,relaxing stay at Kurulu’s. He has an adorable family, and they were nothing but welcoming and helpful. The area was quiet, jungle feeling. Kitchen fully equipped. The room was very comfortable,WiFi reliable. Was a good place to work from and relax. Can just recommend:)
Kurulu and chandima were super friendly, courteous and helpful. The accommodation is very quiet and familiar. We would stay here again at any time.
I will start with the room , so clean , everything is new, very comfortable- with a huge bed! The outside is serounded by nature You have everything that you need in the room and outside a super nice space to chill, study, work, be social , do yoga etc.. The place is own by the most beautiful, nice people there is ! It’s really felt like home , they will help you with everything that you need and more ! They are so heart opening, warm people with good intentions !!! As a solo traveler I felt so so safe there and I was so comfortable. I truly recommend this place - for solo and couples !!!
Nothing !!!!
Great host and his family. Nice, friendly and helpful people. The location was great, quiet, clean with nature at your doorstep.
Nothing - for me it was perfect
Everything about the property is amazing , from the rooms to the balcony to the big garden . Our beds were very comfortable with enough air flow to help with the midday heat . On top of that , we were greeted with such warmth from our host , Kurulu and Chandima. We were given a welcome drink and all sorts of information prior to our arrival . Their two children were so lovely and it was amazing to be staying and playing around with them . On top of that , being in such close proximity to the jungle we saw many wildlife such as Peacock , monitor lizards , mongoose, squirrels as well as black monkeys . It was surreal to be feeling in such closeness to nature when you live just 5 mins off the closest beach , which is by lazy left . The restaurants around the area was also within 5 mins walking . You can basically walk anywhere from the property .
Everything was amazing !
Midigama Inn felt like a home away from home, a place that I will certainly miss! The 3 rooms are brand new and very comfortable. The setting is beautiful, quiet and surrounded by nature yet only a few minutes away from the town and beach. It was so nice to sit in front of the room and watch the birds, squirrels, monkeys and mongoose pass by. Wifi works great and there's a nice set up to work in case you need to. What really makes this place special is the wonderful and warm family. Kurulu and Chandima are so caring and looking after you, always ready to help. Chandima brought fresh coffee and fresh flowers every morning. Together they run a fantastic cooking course, do not miss out on that one! And then the kids, a big bright smile to welcome you every day :) The reviews for this place tell it all... Grab this place when you get a chance, you won't regret!!
Nothing, it's perfect.. I wish I have stayed much longer :)
Midigama inn is a wonderful choice to enjoy green beautiful surroundings in a quiet area away from the main road yet still so close to the beach and surfing spots like lazy left and lazy right. The family members are so nice, friendly and welcoming and will help with everything you can imagine needed and beyond and always with a smile and good energy. On top of the beautiful green view and the calming sounds of the birds (and even peacocks:) the food is so delicious and they even give traditional cooking lessons. The room was very nice and clean with a comfortable bed. I would have loved to stay longer but happy for them they are fully booked for the time of my visit. A must visit for a quality local feeling of the area. High value for your money guaranteed! Thank you for everything i had the best time with you guys and will definitely come back!
The family has become like my own family. I have stayed with them for two seasons now and they create a home away from home. It's still in town, but next to the forest, so it's quiet. I highly recommend!
To leave again, always difficult... ;)
room super clean, new and simple, in the middle of garden, staff kind and welcoming
Amazing location amongst beautiful, peaceful landscaped tropical gardens. Rooms are brand new and immaculately decorated with amazing mattress, fan and mozzie net. The room is cool and spacious with plenty storage areas. The bathroom is a large tiled wet room. There is a terrace outside your room with a table and chairs to relax and enjoy the wonderful wildlife, including a variety of birds and monkeys. A short 5 minute walk to Lazy Lefts for your early surf. Plenty other breaks nearby. The owners are the most hospitable and wonderful family you will be lucky enough to meet, they even provide free tea and coffee in the mornings. You can also join them for a traditional Sri Lankan cooking class in their open kitchen in the garden and sample the amazing food afterwards. Incredible value for money, while experiencing the village lifestyle of Midigama.
Everything was perfect.
Beautiful setting within jungle environment, the family Kurulu, Chandima, their family and extended family are all exemption hosts. The room are new and very clean and a great size. Each room has an outside sitting area that you can watch monkeys, mongoose and all manners of wildlife. It’s quiet and peaceful with a landscaped tropical garden but close enough to the beach and various restaurants. It’s a 5 minute walk to lazy lefts surf break. You get tea and coffee daily and they offer the best cooking lessons within a traditionally built kitchen. We booked for 3 nights and have booked a further month stay. I felt like I had found my Sri Lankan family but they were also not intrusive. It was the perfect stay and I wish I could have stayed longer.
No dislikes , everything was perfect.
This place is honestly the best you can get in Midigama for the price! Very safe, clean, spacious and just renovated rooms with a terrace and an amazing view at the jungle. The location is great too, just few minutes walk to the beach. I was supposed to stay 4 days and I extended for 1 month! The family who own the place is super welcoming, always there to help with anything but you also have your own privacy. The room has a working table, shelves, fresh bathroom, the cleanest bedsheets I have seen in Sri lanka and a mosquito net. Wifi worked perfectly! If I didnt have to leave I would stay definitely longer as it feels like home away from home! Thank you Candima and Kurluk, I had a great stay and I will definitely be back 🙏🏻
Nothing. Everything was ok.
