Spectacular views from the restaurant and rooftop terrace. Surrounded by the nature and a calm location near the beach

You feel very well looked after at Namal Stay. The room has all you need, the bed is big and comfy, AC works perfectly, sheets and towels are fresh. You can have dinner on the terrace and it’s very good and 100% local and homemade. Namal offers tuk tuk services and a lot of advice (also tours are possible) and he is a very honest man.

Peaceful, comfortable and with a very warm welcome. Namal and all the family are excellent hosts. To say arrive as a guest, leave as a friend is clichéd but in this case it's true. The property is away from the centre but not so far, a 10 or 15 minute walk brings you to the beach and many restaurants etc. Although there are some little shops and places to eat closer, or try Namal's wife's (Sudu) delicious cooking. A good quality scooter can be rented at a good price, and is useful.The rooftop area is a lovely place to hang out with other guests, or Namal who clearly enjoys entertaining everyone who stays. The kitchen area is open to use. The rooms have several options and each also has its own seating area. If I pass by this way again I wouldn't hesitate to stay with Namal and his lovely family again.

My stay was delightful. The room met all my requirements, offering both cleanliness and comfort. The location was perfect, and the staff was always ready to offer guidance on excursions and places to visit. Namal, the host, was outstanding, and his wife, an exceptional chef, made me feel like a part of their family. I highly recommend this place for a visit to this gorgeous location.

Namal and his family are fantastic hosts and have created a great, chilled place to stay above the noise of the town while it’s still easy to access the beaches along the coast. The food is great as well and Namal goes out of his way to help you with anything you need. Hope to be back someday!

It’s about a 25-30 minute walk to the beach.

Do yourself a favor and enjoy the sunrise from the rooftop. Rooms have hot water and a/c, which is nice.

Wish I could have stayed longer... thank you Ramin and your wonderful family! I had a great evening with the other guests, an amazing dinner and some music quizes in their rooftop restaurant with stunning views. I wanted to marry your wife after the homemade dinner, it was sooo good! See you next time!

Good stay, no complaints!

A bit away from the main part of town but an easy walk - felt safe being a solo female. Host was very friendly. Room was clean and spacious. Drinking water being provided was helpful. Rooftop view was pretty. Would happily return!

Namal Stay is a family owned guest house on top of a hill 20 minutes walk to Weligama beach. The room are cozy and clean, the location is nice as you can see Weligama from the top and the hosts were so nice! Highly recommend it!

Good Wi-Fi. Quite area. Around 10 min walk to the beach. Other guests there are just absolutely amazing! Very special atmosphere.

Relaxed home-stay atmosphere at Namal's place with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. Sudu's cooking was delicious, we had breakfast and dinner here - some of the best curry we have tried during our time in Sri Lanka! Great views across Weligama from the upper level restaurant and rooftop terrace. Free chilled drinking water too. Namal made us feel very welcome in his home, like part of the family. We had a great time, thank you! Nic and Sam from Scotland x

Namal is a welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful host who will make you feel very at home and comfortable. His wife Sudu cooks delicious local food, which absolutely must be tried! The rooftop terrace is a great place to sit and work, with good WiFi and nice sunset/sunrise views over the bay. The location is quiet, away from the main strip and busy road, but still only a short tuk-tuk ride or 15-minute walk from the beach. Would definitely recommend.

Namal's was one of the best guesthouses we've stayed in in Sri Lanka. Very comfortable stay, private, quiet, and the most incredible rooftop overlooking Weligama. It was so rewarding to watch the sunrises and sunsets from here. And Namal has to be the kindest and most welcoming host! He really takes care of his place and the people that pass through. We will definitely be returning on our next trip! Also, bonus points for a water filter open to everyone to use- more places should do this to reduce plastic water bottle waste!

amazing location and nice facilities for the price. The owner and host is super friendly and the food very good!

There were more tenants than I expected to meet. Most of them work distantly and during the duty they occupy the rooftop so I felt inappropriate to share that space with workers while I was enjoying a vacation although I wanted to spend there much more time. There was no a/c in a room. I found it quite far from activities in Weligama.

That guesthouse is placed on the beautiful hill, and on the rooftop you can see almost every thing on the landscape. There is a water filter, that allows you to refill your own bottles. Well, I can't describe all the facilities because there are a lot of them. But that is nothing in comparison with owner. Namal is a Man with big letter, he helped me to sort out several severe problems that I created during my holiday in Weligama. He is ready to answer any your question, transport you to any place on his own tuktuk and he provides various breakfasts and dinners as paid option. Honestly, you will not find better meals for that price anywhere. Space near the room entrance is sooo chilling, that was really nice.

For a stay in Weligama you should definitely choose “Namal Stay” for its location on a hill overlooking the jungle and the bay. Also the owner Namal and his family are very very nice people and the house is really beautiful. I would recommend renting a scooter in weligama so you can visit the beaches and restaurants in the surrounding.

So I don’t know where to start. we stayed 8 nights with Namal and his family and it was the best time we had in Sri Lanka. Namal and his wife Suduu treated us like family and served one of the best Sri Lankan curry’s we had. On our last day with Namal he went with us to the local fisher market and we had an awesome fish and seafood dinner in the evening. On our arrival day Namal drove us with his tuk tuk free of charge to the beach and explained us a little bit about Weligama. With Namal it feels like it’s home in another country. in the evening he sat with his guests we enjoyed together the evening hours. He is also trying to integrate new guests into the group of guests that are already there. The building has a very nice rooftop with an open kitchen and sitting opportunities where you can watch the sunset and see above whole Weligama up to the see and Mirissa. All in all it was a very special experience and I would not hesitate to go back to Namal’s stay as we felt like his family. It was a 10/10 experience and if you are looking for a place to stay and the accommodation is still free do not hesitate and book it right away!!! Thank you Namal and also thank you Sudu, I hope to see you soon again. Keep being so nice and kind!!

Having to leave, I will be back

Amazing views and great location. Still close enough to the beach but nice and chilled set hug above the town. The food was the best I've had in Sri Lanka, great and local, really tasty. Super helpful with lots of contacts about what to do and see.
