I have stayed in this very nice homestay for 2 weeks. I had a clean private room for a very honest price, just in front of the beach. The family is lovely and helpful every each one of them. Spent amazing time with them having delicious dinners and spending Christmas together. Highly recommended! See you soon guys!

Located in the up and coming coastal town of Midigama on Sri Lanka’s southern coast, Lime & Co Midi is a surfers paradise. This charming hotel is located right opposite the beach within close distance to at least 5 well known surf breaks.

Really great facilities, comfortable vibe, incredibly friendly staff and hospitality. Loved my stay!

I felt very safe, the way how Alex welcomed the entry. Then the people, we cooked together, go out for some drinks and watch movie together. One day I had a bike accident, everyone is so kind to pick me up and make some food while I am not able to move. I felt so lucky to have you guys. And I love their kitchen and bathroom very much. It is a safe home for me while I travel and not able to go back my country. Also very close to jungle beach 🏖️🍹 Don't hesitate to stay there, maybe you will see me there still I might stick around.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Brilliant location for beach, train station, buses, cafes etc. Roof terrace where you can watch the sunset over the sea and look over Ahangama high street. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Our room was large, had everything we needed (table, chair, hooks). You also had access to washing machine and kitchen. Accommodation is really budget friendly especially considering the great location. Easy to find and get to.

    such a nice hostel- only 10 beds in the whole place, it has a family feel and the beds are wider than a normal twin. the staff are really easy going and there is a restaurant upstairs that is a nice place to eat and chill in and watch the ocean. most of the rooms just have one bunk bed in them so you can sleep really well without any noise! About 10 minutes drive from Weligama and Ahangama as well as a 10 minute walk to Midigama.

    One of the best hostels I’ve stayed in - you need anything from food to a scooter to a bus to Ella they’ll help you and even wait at the bus stop with you (Not guaranteed lol). Events are organised most days and they’re great fun, the people at Yoyos make it special though. Wish them all the best and strongly recommend you book longer than you need because you’ll end up extending anyway

    No doubt this is the best hostel in the country to settle down for a while, get to know people and have a really good time. Location is perfect and it is run by amazing people. Among all my travels, this is one of the most special hostels i ever visited (if not the most). Just go there!!!
