Coffee Shade

I had a wonderful experience here. The owners were very friendly and went out of their way to make sure I felt comfortable, even helping me find a bicycle and driving me to pick it up when they were sold out in town. I would definitely stay here again the next time I visit Midigama!

Nothing :)

Great location but away from the hustle bustle. The owners are very kind and the food at their restaurant is also nice.

One bed mattress was great, the other you could really feel the arches so suggest changing it.

I loved everything about my stay!! Very sweet and friendly hosts who are truly welcoming. The rooms are very comfortable, great bed, has a new feeling to it. As I wake up very early I found it very convenient to have a kettle and mug there to make a cup of tea. It is very quiet in a small little street yet very close to everything.

As mentioned in some other reviews there is a water pump but it gets, switched off during the night so that you can have a deep good sleep

Very nice place. Comfortable rooms in good condition. Quiet but still close to town center and the beach.

This is our second stay at this hotel, and we are absolutely in love with it — and with the owners. They are incredibly warm and kind people. You are always welcomed with a smile, always helped with anything you need, and it truly feels like visiting friends rather than staying at a hotel. The location is perfect for those who are looking for privacy, nature sounds, and fresh morning air. The ocean is just a 5-minute walk away. Sleep here is absolutely perfect — the beds are very comfortable.

Very nice rooms and hosts. Close to the beach but still far enough from the train and the main street.

It was very very nice :)

Small room with everything you needed. Great location near some lovely cafes and bars. Staff were very nice and welcomed us with a king cocunut each. Owner was reachable on WhatsApp for anything you need. Accommodated an early check in. Pleasant stay in the heart of calm Midigama.

Really lovely hosts and nice location, close to the surf and train station but still quiet away from main road. Facilities are nice and fresh.

Everything was perfect. The host is very nice and arranging. The room is big and very clean. There is also AC. It’s near the beach but not too close to the railways and the main road, so the accommodation is not noisy

nothing, was perfect

Very very friendly hosts! I loved that the accommodation was in a secondary street so no noise from the street/tuk tuks. Super clean and very big room with private bathroom and a desk where you could work - the WiFi was pretty good as well!. I felt very at home during my stay. Would definitely recommend and stay here again

Cold water in the shower :( at the end of the day it didn’t really matter because it’s hot but since I was surfing sometimes it would be nice to have a warm shower

It’s very quiet space surrounded by nature, you can hear the monkeys and birds in the morning. Walking distance to the beach with great surf spots where you can even rent boards. Rooms are spacious, comfortable and clean

Lovely staff, really welcoming and accomodating and kind

Great room and very friendly Hosts. The bathroom had hot water and a good water pressure. Loved my stay there would definitely come back.

The floor just outside the room was sweeped very early in the morning which was a tiny bit noisy and probably could be done a little later. They also mean well as they want it to be clean for everyone when they wake up.

One of the nicest hotels I’ve ever stayed at.It’s a small hotel with a restaurant.Convenient location and very quiet.Very comfortable bed.The room is spacious and has everything you need. The bathroom is also comfortable and large. The food in the restaurant is delicious and fresh. We will definitely come back and recommend this place to our friends🥹❤️

Comfortable bed, lovely staff who bought us coconuts and watermelon, super friendly. Close proximity to the beach. Let us keep surfboards there too!

The hosts were absolutely amazing and so immensely kind, helping me arrange a TukTuk, doing laundry and always responding super swiftly to all enquiries. Upon arrival they gave me a coconut welcome drink and fresh watermelon slices. The room was super clean and tucked away in a quiet corner of the property surrounded by the green. Would definitely recommend!

We stayed here for two weeks and really enjoyed it! Everything is very clean and the owners are very friendly and super helpful.

Very nice accomodation with beautiful interior. The staff was really friendly and we enjoyed some good lunches and breakfast in the newly opened restaurant.

I loved the location, 3-minute walk from two surf spots in Midigama and the property is off the main road which was ideal for sleeping peacefully. The room is spacious and comfortable with a new and quiet AC and an additional fan. The bed is very comfortable and I felt so serene returning here every evening after surf and other activities. The owner family are absolutely lovely and I got different little treats every morning. They also just opened a small restaurant and the food is delicious and great prices, makes life easy if one wants to eat quick breakfast before surf and they have lots of variety. The room is spacious to fit two people very comfortably but the price is unbeatable for a solo traveller looking for alternative to a hostel etc.

There was nothing I did not like.

Clean, new, away from busy areas, with incredibly warm and nice host family!

Our stay at Coffee Shade was exceptional! The toom was very nice and clean. The stay itslef is not on a busy toad so it is very quiet and peaceful. We would wake up to monkeys in the trees and go to bed to bed watching the fireflys. The host family is what makes this place special. They are extremely kind and care for their guest. We were given fresh fruit every morning and even a gift before we left. They were always there to answer any questions and always had a big smile. Definitely recommend staying here.

Excellent friendly people. Lovely accommodation

The staff are very nice and respond quickly to any questions or requests. They have a quiet AC and a hot shower. They also give you cups and plates and silverware, and the wifi works well.

There aren't mosquito nets.

The best accommodation of our entire trip. It is in a beautiful location with and nice garden and wild coffee plants growing everywhere. 5 minutes walk to the beach/shore and main street that connects all shore cities. The lovely host who gave us small gifts, fruits and drinks everyday. Really special!

Like we said, this is a special place! Constructive feedback: - Please switch to a single mattress instead of two smaller ones! The slot between those two smaller was a bit uncomfortable.

We had a great time. Really kind and helpfull host. The room was great, confortable and clean. Nesr to the beach, really peacefull environment. Definitivelty worth the price. They also had a good laundry service. Would return and recommend.

Not really a killing argument, but an outside chill area would be great.

The location in Midigama is perfect, short walk to the beach, train station, bus stop and main road but far enough away to avoid the noise. All conversations are via whats app and any questions or requests were answered straight away. The owners are so sweet and really try to make your stay special, a welcoming drink, dropping by with fresh fruit and helping us find a driver to our next accommodation, very much appreciated. If you need a place to stay in Midigama, Coffee Shade is a great choice!

A small fridge to store medicines and cold drinks would be handy.

The owner family was super nice! Jayalath assisted us via whatsup, everything (Check-in, extend stay and organize breakfast etc) was organized smoothly. His wife welcomed us with lovely smile and humble attitude. She also brought us fresh fruits sometimes. Their dad wiped to dry our bike after rain. They are so thoughtful, they made our stay comfortable as much as possible. The place itself was in good location. Only 2mins walk to surf (lazy left), and in quiet street. Short drive to Ahangama or Weligama.

Lovely place, friendly hosts, amazing food.

Location is perfect .few minutes to the surf. The room is great value for money, has a nice bathroom with a hot shower. Hosts were really helpful, arranging airport ttransfers and even cooking some noodles for us when we arrived late at night We will be coming back here for sure!

We were welcomed so warmly by the hosts - they gave us thoughtful little gifts and were extremely flexible with us as our plans changed! Our room was quiet and had great air con, and the location was completely perfect - short stroll to the surf breaks but nestled away from the main road. Fantastic value, highly recommend.

Very nice room with large bed and in a quiet street.

Everything!!!!

The room is comfortable, the toilet too.

No common areas to chill out

Very comfortable and large bed and great shower. Very friendly staff and super helpful. I would highly recommend.

Every single thing! Hosts are incedibly nice and helpful. Rooms are clean, comfortable and spacious. Location is perfect, 5 minutes away from restaurants, small shops, great surfing spots. You can also order home made delicious meals from the hosts. Best place to stay at in Midigama!

Great hosts, clean room and bathroom, made you feel very welcome with coconut water and a beautiful gift on arrival. We stayed in 6 different hotels in Sri Lanka during our time and only here did we have a kettle with tea and coffee. Would definitely stay again. Thanks once again.

Nothing it as just perfect

The rooms are really nice and big, bathrooms are very clean. The host is very friendly and helps you with everything you may need. I recommend 100%

What is there not to like, this is a new venture for an amazing young couple, and wow have they nailed it. Rooms are 5 star ant a 2 star price, spotless, great facilities. Please support this lovely couple and enjoy an amazing stay.

Nothing

Shower and aircon worked perfectly, no mosquito net but also no mosquitos… everything was clean and comfy, owners often bring fresh fruit in the morning free of charge. Did laundry here which was cheapest I’d seen in Sri Lanka. Room also had plates, cutlery etc if needed, drying rack etc.

Nothing I didn’t like would highly recommend!

The best property I’ve stayed at in Sri Lanka! Friendly welcoming hosts and a great modern place to stay. Close to the beach but in a peaceful location. Good facilities such as A/C, hot shower, kettle, tea, and cutlery provided. So good I extended as soon as I arrived and saw the room!

Very nice located, quiet and clean room! You have Ac and fan, seperate entrance to your room :) Whats more all the stuff are really friendly, helpful and caring. I really reccomend this place, you will have nice stay there :)

Everything was good :)

Coffee Shade was everything we needed to feel at ease after a long day of travelling - comfortable, clean and very kind hosts. They think of everything, for example had 5l bottled drinking water available and send a pdf with such additional services at the end. Good communication and the location is ideal.

Loved our stay with Coffee Shade the apartment is cozy, clean and stylish. Location is perfect as its super quiet but only 3 minute walk to beach/surfspots. But the best part are the amazing hosts that are a lovely young couple that are extremely helpful with everything you ask and always have a smile to give. 10 out of 10 stay.

Nothing

Everything in this property is very good. Spacious and very clean with very big bathroom. The location is just a the centre of Midigama but on the same time is very quite. The owners are lovely people and mafey stay even better. Can't recommend this place enough, would definitely come back.

Everything! They have built a beautiful little guesthouse with 3 rooms and ensuite bathrooms. Very close to the beach, Coffee Shade is the perfect place to stay in Midigama if you're not on a very tight budget. That said the prices are more than fair for what you get. Everything is well maintained. What I really enjoyed: FOOD: The vegetable curries were the best I had during this trip to Sri Lanka! I love spicy food and definitely enjoyed the burn. If you're not eating spicy at all, it could be worth noting this with your meal orders. ORGANIZATION: The owners provide a PDF menu for breakfast and dinner and also create an invoice with total cost provided as PDF. Couldn't ask for more professionalism from a guesthouse. THE GARDEN: Very lush and beautifully maintained, I felt like I was staying in a botanical garden. Jaya was even so kind to gift me two plant seedlings that I will hopefully be able to grow back at home. 💚

Nothing. 100% happy

Whatever one may find lacking, the owners will more than make up for in kindness, good nature and hospitality

I enjoyed my stay at Coffee Shade. The room was very clean, good space, big bed, nice bathroom and shower. Also there is a table and desk for working. When I arrived I got a coconut, coffee and a pen - which I think was really nice after traveling for a long day. I also got free papaya to my room one day which was so sweet. The owner is very good with communication and they do the best to make you feel welcome and comfortable. I was a bit worried if it was going to be a quiet place - but it exceeded my excpetations. Also the owner helped me to find scooter with surf rack and they also offer laundry. There is also a small room outside where you can store your surfboards. Also, I like how it is so green when I get out of my room. It also feels safe as they have a closed gate. It is a hidden gem. Thank you :)

Location, setup, quiet , hosts were amazing

Nothing!!

This newly built accommodation was both comfortably and very clean. The location is great – just a few minutes walk from the centre of Midigama – and the staff were wonderful throughout our stay, helping us with everything from dinner to laundry (both of which were very affordable). Hope to return!

Everything. Quiet location but close to the beach, comfortable room and a very welcoming host.

Nothing!

The room is clean and looks perfect for short and long stay. Furniture is new as it was built recently. I asked once for bigger table and owner quickly resolved my request. The location is perfect (10 minutes on scooter to Weligama if you need something more). It’s enough distance from train and road to avoid the noise from it. Meanwhile just 3 minutes walking to the beach for lazy left surfing point. The beach nice as well to spend a day. Several cafe/restaurants nearby too. What’s more it’s possible to have a breakfast directly in the room. The place have nice breakfast options. The owner family is polite, responsive and make your time better. I really love morning fruits services to my room in the mornings.

excellent service. Food is delicious. Staff service is great. They are so friendly.

Nothing. Everything is great.

The staff was super nice and attended all my needs
