Pros:

The staff was amazingly friendly and the breakfast was very good.

Cons:

The room was nice, but the view is out to the busy street (which you cannot see in the pictures, and makes it too loud to open).

Pros:

Hele lieve host en het ontbijt was heerlijk

Cons:

Er rijdt een trein achterlangs de accomodatie die je erg hard hoort vanaf 6 uur ‘s ochtends, maar volgens mij is dat op veel plekken in weligama het geval…

Pros:

Das Zimmer waren hübsch eingerichtet und entsprach genau den Fotos. Alles war sehr sauber und das gesamte Personal war super freundlich und bemüht. Das Frühstück war gut, mit drei Auswahlmöglichkeiten.
Der Strand und Surfschulen sind nur wenige Gehminuten entfernt.

Cons:

Etwas komisch fanden wir, dass man für ein traditionelles Sri-Lanka-Frühstück extra zahlen musste.
Zimmer zur Straßenseite sind nicht für einen erholsamen Schlaf geeignet – man hört die ganze Nacht und besonders in den frühen Morgenstunden den Verkehr und das Hupen. Auch das Bett war nicht besonders komfortabel und hat bei jeder Bewegung gequietscht.

Pros:

Very friendly staff, clean room and a great breakfast.

Cons:

It is right next to the main road and rail - which is quite loud. If you face the front you'll hear the road and if you face the back I'd expect you'd hear the railway (this is probably better as it doesn't run late or too early).

Perfect stay in Weligama
Pros:

The staff at Rise B&B were so kind and could not do enough for you! Our room was clean and comfortable with great AC. The included breakfast in the morning was delicious and I would highly recommend booking the Italian restaurant for your evening meal! Location is a 2 minute walk from the beach and easily walkable to beach clubs and other restaurants.

Pros:

Celý pobyt byl skvělý a hotel se nám velmi líbil. Zejména personál byl naprosto famózní a velmi milý. Snídaně byly vynikající.

Cons:

Vlak za hotelem může na první pohled působit rušivě, ale ve skutečnosti nás nijak nerušil ani nebudil.

Excellent accomplishment and wonderful staff. Would stay again.
Pros:

The location was perfect l, the beach was just across the road. Accommodation was well thought out, spacious and clean.

Cons:

The train line was directly behind the hotel so of you have a room at the back and are a light sleeper this may be a problem.

ウェリガマでホスピタリティに溢れる宿を探してるならここがおすすめです🏖️
Pros:

スタッフの方々がとてもホスピタリティに溢れていて、安心して穏やかな気持ちで滞在できました。おすすめの観光スポットやそこへの行き方など、親身になって教えてくれました。今度ウェリガマに行く時は必ずまたここに泊まりたいです😊

Cons:

特にありません。電車の音が気になるという口コミもありましたが、特に大きな音がするわけでもなく私は気になりませんでした。朝晩は電車が通ることもなく、快眠でした⭐️
