A very friendly owner who really takes care of her guests. Breakfast was plentiful and varied. The room with a balcony is spacious, clean, a really nice place to enjoy.

Lovely little Homestay just 5 minute walk from the beach. Comfortable beds and a great breakfast. Run by a lovely woman, we organised an external river safari but it was possible to do this through the Homestay as well.

Wimala's was our second stop on our holiday in Sri Lanka and remained a favourite for the rest of our trip! Wimala is the sweetest host and was so so helpful (her son was also so kind and helpful, taking us in his tuktuk to our river tour (and telling us about the tour in the first place!)) The property is in the perfect location, set just a street back from the station and close to the beach. The house is surrounded by papaya, mango and coconut trees and feels like a truly authentic Sri Lankan home. Our stay here was amazing; Wimala's cooking is incredible!! (we are missing it dearly!) Thank you so much for you and your family's hospitality, we will most definitely be seeing you again (hopefully soon)! Take care and thank you for everything!

The huge taste breakfast and the great host Wimala madam. She is very nice and always takes care of her guests. Oneday we went out for sight seeing at Hikkaduwa keeping our washed clothes outside for drying under sunrays, in the meantime suddenly rain started. But Wimala madam takes our all clothes under sheds of her own. Thanks her a lot for her super support. This property is very near to Bentota Sea beach, only 3/4 minutes walking. Free washing machine facility is available.Tuktuk / car hire facility is also available for sight seeing, bus stop drop or transfer to Airport with extra cost. Many good restaurants are within 2 minutes walking distance for Lunch & Dinner. In fact, we didn't need Lunch after having huge breakfast from Wimala madam. 😊

One thing to note is the lack of hot water, which is common in guesthouses in Sri Lanka. It didn’t bother us, but it might be a consideration for some.

The place was spotless and very clean. Breakfasts were generous and varied - often more than we could eat - and the owner kept offering more. The host, a lovely elderly lady, went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable in every way. The location is excellent, just a short walk to the beach, restaurants, surf schools, the train station, and an ATM. Plus, there’s an adorable cat that often kept us company, which added a special charm.

Maybe the ventilator case could be cleaner, but that is pretty much looking for faults, since the overall experience is very nice.

Wimala is very warm and welcoming. She let us pick our room, which was very nice. By foot it takes you about 10 Minutes to get to the beach and the train station as well as Restaurants and a Supermarket are around the corner.

The house is located in a quiet and green area, really close to the beach. Lady Wimala is a delight warmly welcoming her guests and she tries to make your stay at her place unforgettable. The breakfast was so tasty and abundant that we had to skip the lunch. Simply amazing.

Mrs. Wimala is the most amazing woman. She worked tirelessly to be as accommodating as possible. The perfect hostess.

The beds weren't the comfiest.

I liked the family who owned the place. Especially the elderly lady she was lovely. She might kill you with the amount of food she will try and give you for breakfast!!! Mosquito nets on the beds, great shower, a short walk from the beach and restaurants.

You get what you expect for such a great place but mostly it was like coming home to my Sri Lankan Grandmother. Wimala is a delight, she will go the extra mile with everything to make a happy stay. It truly was like coming home to family and her cooking is amazing

The house is located in a very green and quiet area, very close to the beach. The room we had was very clean and our host was lovely. This was one of the best places we stayed in our three weeks in Sri Lanka.

Nothing to say here!

Alone, the apartments are probably like many others that you can find in the area. However, it's the wonderful host 'Wimala' who makes this an exceptional place to stay. What a wonderful lady, she is so devoted to looking after her guests, she really will do anything for you! As for the many amazing reviews about the breakfast, I really cannot argue...a wonderful selection of fruits, noodles, spicy onion, toast, marmalade, samosa and more! Really cannot recommend Wimala BB enough! Thank you, Wimala! Ps .look out for chipmunks and mongoose from the balcony! Amazing to see!

Good stay .Near the beach.

for that price and this host there is really nothing to say. More comfort is for another budget, it's as simple as that.

Wimala is an amazing person, hosting, cleaning, cooking and warmly welcoming the guests by herself. She's got some good language skills and will astound you with kind gestures. The homestay is in the background of the fancy beach side resorts but only a 2 minute walk from the beach, quiet, surrounding garden. I only booked one night as a pitstop on the scooter between Negombo and Thalpe so I took the smallest room, which can be quite hot. Wimala brought me a remote fan to help with that. And oh, the breakfast was AMAZING!
