Nice and pleasant
Pros:

I stayed here three nights while I was in Midigama. The owner is incredibly sweet and always available on WhatsApp. As I visited during off-season the restaurants were closed so she made me a delicious dinner for a very cheap price the first night. The room was spacious with a big bed and 10 min walking distance to the beach. Also the WiFi works great

Cons:

I did see two cockroaches in my room. The room also gets really hot but it’s bearable with the fan. It can also be a bit difficult to find but the owner sent a picture where she had marked the route which was very helpful.

Pros:

The family is always ready to help you and available by whatsapp. You can ask them for food/drinks/laundry. The room was also big and comfortable. We could also drop our bags of early and park out tuktuk. Really nice and safe spot to stay!!

Cons:

Our door didnt fully close just due to the structural design of the door. However this does not make the stay less comfortable because it is nice and quiet!!

It was so clean and the host was so lovely. I got sick before in a hostel that's why I moved to a private room and they took such good care of me. Can recommend it highly.

Pros:

Really kind family, all take super good car of you. There's a great breakfast for a cheap price. Surf is just around the corner. The room is very big and clean and nothing was missing. I had great sleep. The owner organized the scooter rental for me which was great. There's laundry service as well. When it was raining they got me a take away, which was super sweet! Thank you and I will be back!

Calm and comfortable stay on walking distance of the beach
Pros:

Tharu and Nilu welcome you with a smile and are the most helpfull during the stay. They will do their best to make you feel at home and love having a chat over a cup of tea or a juice.
The accomodation is located away from the noise and bustle of town yet is located close to the center and the beach.
The room itself is modern and spacious with a comfortable bed. It features a large bathroom as well.
