Pros:

My stay was amazing, the hosts made me feel part of the family since I arrived. A true home away from home. Everything was better than expected. Location is perfect. They put me in a better room than the one I’ve booked. We had bbq together, the wave is right in front. Couldn’t ask for more. They even gave me the best deal renting a bike. So thankful 🙏🏽

Very good
Pros:

Perfect location, comfy room and very friendly and helpful owners

Cons:

The room was close to the main street, so I didn't sleep well due to the traffic noise. So only recommended for easy sleepers!

Wonderful homestay for surfers!
Pros:

The most welcoming hosts quickly became friends/family away from home. I loved my room with adjacent bathroom and usage of kitchen/fridge.
You can see rams surfspot from the patio and walking distance to 5surfspots of midigama.
Chilled vibe and best dinners cooked by dulmi.
I am returning after some travels up the coast to spend my last week here.
There are surfrentals and repairs as well as nice selection of restaurants in close visinity.

Cons:

Be mindfull that property is on the mainroad, so traffic noise can not be avoided.

Pros:

Loved staying at Surf Forever! The hosts were the best and made me feel at home from day 1. As it’s directly on the main road it’s quite noisy all day, but other than that it’s the perfect place to be in Midigama, if you’re looking for an affordable, convenient accommodation.

Its a lovely homestay behind the main road and beach, in between a few surf spots that you can walk to.

Nice but not calm
Pros:

Hosts were nice and location of the place is really good for surfing

Cons:

There was a lot of noise during the night due to the proximity to the street, the train station and the noice of the fan, we had a hard time to sleep

Best hosts in front of many surf spots
Pros:

this was the warmest hospitality i received during my travels! the place is very simple, there is nothing to complain about the economy room for this price! the beds are easy with a mosquito net and a shared bathroom (only 3 guests, there are more rooms with private bathroom too). the place is perfect in front of the sea with a lot of surfing spots and good restaurants within walking distance. it is noisy like every room you will find in front of the sea at the main road, so don’t forget your earplugs ;)

Cons:

nothing to complain with this price. i left because i needed a private bathroom. i didn’t see that there is a shared bathroom. so when i checked in and saw that there is no private bathroom, i stayed for one night and left the next day because i felt so so good and well welcomed there (after spending a bad night at a foreigners place who charges way too much for what he offered!)
