Weeragiri home stay

I really loved that this family has a lot of animals around! There is a cow, guinea pig and a lot of rabbits. The place is also in a nice area, not so far from a beach. They even prepared a delicious vegan dinner! Also the family is really kind.

The owner asked me before I came If I would like to have a tour through a city or go to see whales. I said that I will think about the offer about the whales. I eventually found an ethical company that does not stress the whales so when I came I told him that I do not want to use his offer. He kept saying that he can offer me his tour. I told him that I found a different one. Yet he kept saying he has a better one..when I again refused he saddenly started saying that there is now "a big problem", that people now do not get to see the whales etc. So he just wanted me to pay him. After my stay he also wrote me on my personal phone that "I promised him to write a review and I still did not." Which I do not think is okay..

The host is very kind. I was tired from moving but they welcomed me kindly. Breakfast and dinner were delicious. There is a lot of nature in the garden. lots of coconut trees. They treated me to coconuts harvested in the garden.There was also an iguana. It is a good opportunity to experience the Sri Lankan life. I experienced things that I could not experience in my own country. Staying in a homestay like this gives you a lot more experience than staying in an expensive hotel. Better than expensive hotels. hosts are like my family.

None

The most welcoming family I’ve met on my trip. They really made me feel I was one of the family members. Chamila cooks the best food ever (don’t go to other restaurants, eat as much at home - it was so delicious!). My tummy was so full everytime. She has also a wonderful personality. Bodhika is a great host, he will tell you everything about Sri Lankan culture. He also has a great sense of humour. Their son Banu is so sweet and eager to learn! If you have a drone or camera: please let him take photos or videos. He makes beautiful vehicles out of cardboard too. Also location is good: Mirissa & Weligama can be very busy but here you’ll find a peaceful stay! The garden is beautiful full with animals and flowers. Room is clean and spacious with musquito net & ventilator. They have rabbits, fishes, a cow & a guinea pig! For me that was a nice surprise. If you want to go on whale watching trip: go with Raja & the whales. I will miss this wonderful family. Thank you so much Bodhika, Chamila & Banu, hope to see you one day again!

Nothing, I would recommend this homestay to everyone!

Nice comfortable room in a house of local Sri Lankan people. The house is more than 100 years old and it feels very authentic Good big traditional breakfast Close to the Weligama beach, walk to the beach is around 15 minutes

The accommodation itself is rather average. But what makes the stay special is the family you stay with. Hospitality is very important here and you can have great conversations about Sri Lanka or the world. Rarely could I build a direct connection so quickly and enjoyed it. So if you are not into those anonymous hotels, but want to have direct contact with the locals, then I can only recommend a stay here. The location of the accommodation is a bit outside pretty much between Mirissa and Weligama. The way to the beach to Weligama is not far away and you can walk here for miles. This was really nice. The way to Mirissa is not so nice, but a ride with the tuktuk is recommended. I enjoyed my stay here a lot and would return anytime.
