Nadeeka and Ranjith are so kind hearted people. They always had time for a little chat. I could even use their kitchen to prepare some food. I slept in the dorm which was very comfortable. The whole house is new and has a very stylish interior and provide all the facilities you need for your stay. I stayed here a whole week and it felt like a home for me - especially because of these two beautiful human beings🙏🏽❤️

Awesome and friendly staff, that make you feel like at home. They have been so kind to even organize a private yoga lesson for us. The accomodation is super comfortable and clean, surrounded by a jungle-like garden. Breakfast was rich, full of yummy fruits and more. Close to the beautiful jungle beach and 7 minutes tuk tuk to weligama.

Wilson's place is really nice and probably the best value for money in Hiriketiya! The rooms are big they are big and beautiful designed and furnished. Each room has access to a shared terrace and a shared garden with coconut palms and hammocks making the atmosphere really chill. Each rooms has a fridge, and you can borrow cutlery and plates to making you own delicious breakfast. Last, but most important, Rumesh (the owner), is a really nice guy who only wants the best for the visitors. If you visit Hiriketiya and you would like a chill place to stay, you should definitely stay at Wilson's place!

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel located just a few meters from Weligama Beach and the town center, making it an incredibly convenient choice. The room we stayed in was clean, spacious, and well-maintained, offering a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. The staff were exceptionally friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay special. A lovely surprise awaited us on the morning of January 1st when they served us delicious cake and fresh bananas to mark the New Year – a thoughtful and heartwarming gesture that truly stood out. Overall, this hotel offers excellent value for money with its prime location, welcoming service, and attention to detail. We highly recommend it for anyone visiting Weligama!

The location is perfect if you are looking to escape all the crowd in Hiriketiya Beach. The Beach near to the resort is quaint and so refreshing. Jeremy and Julie were such lovely hosts. The breakfast spread was very exceptional, room was spacious and comfortable. We loved spending our last night here and would have loved to extend our stay here. It was absolutely worth the money.

That was the best home stay experience in Sri Lanka. It is located a few minutes away from the beach. Place is exceptionally cosy, clean and comfortable. Room was just beautiful with nice bed, private bathroom with hot shower and all facilities you can imagine. We used the kitchen for cooking our food which was great after long weeks of traveling. Big thank you for the host family - you made our stay here simply wonderful. We recommend this place if you plan to stay in Dikwella.

They didn't offer us a room. Said that they are not willing to offer to locals. And also it is not cleaned, not suitable for anyone.

Big room and bathroom. Comfortable bed with mosquito net. Only a few minutes walk to the beach. Very friendly host family. Good breakfast with a big fruit salad. We also had a balcony/teresse. And there is also the possibility to use the laundry service from the family. They can also organize many tours like snorkeling or something for you.

Atmosphere, Vibe 👌 Its right next to the Forest Entrance. TikiriBanda is the man! He helped us in many ways to make our stay a comfortable one as well as the other staff members. Food is average can give 7/10, and bit expensive for locals. So its better to book it full or half board. Overall 7/10 for everything.

Silva was such a great host, he made sure we had everything we needed during the entire stay and even recommended a place to rent a bike nearby. The breakfast was great, and he would even wake us up in the morning when it was ready! He also let us have late check out at no extra charge. The AC was great, and had a nice warm shower. We shared a small kitchen area with another room so had fridge access which was very helpful.
