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…

Wir hatten einen sehr netten Aufenthalt im Rise. 😊🙂

Das Zimmer war super! Sauber, tolles Bett. Prima Dusche.

Beim Frühstück hatten wir eine angenehme Auswahl.
Und haben auf Nachfrage auch gern Zusatzfrüchte bekommen. 🍉🍌🍍

Die Mitarbeiter waren sehr engagiert und aufmerksam. 🙏🏻😊🙂

Vielen Dank. 🔆🔆🔆

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⭐️

Wir haben uns wirklich wohl gefühlt.
Pros:

Das Personal ist extrem nett und zuvorkommend. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker. Die Lage der Unterkunft ist sehr gut, nicht weit von vielen Restaurants und sehr nah am Strand gelegen.
Man kommt schnell in beide Richtungen: Mirissa und Ahangama, wenn man Tagesausflüge machen möchte.
Vor der Unterkunft gibt es Parkplätze für Roller, falls man sich einen anmieten möchte.

Cons:

Mit der Feuchtigkeit im Zimmer hat es etwas gemüffelt, aber das war okay.

Die Gleise direkt hinter der Unterkunft haben uns nicht gestört, da wir tagsüber nicht da waren und er nachts nicht fährt.

Man hat nicht wirklich Möglichkeiten Sachen aufzuhängen und im Bad gibt es keine Ablagefläche.

Es gab nur lauwarmes Wasser, aber das ist bei den Temperaturen in Ordnung und für die Verhältnisse in Sri Lanka normal.

הייתי חוזרת שוב!
Pros:

הצוות קודם כל היה מקסים ברמה אחרת! תמיד עם חיוך והסכמה לכל בקשה שלי!
3 דק הליכה לנומד ויחס תרומה לכסף מצויינת! הייתי ממליצה בחום!

Cons:

המיטה לא היתה לי נוחה קצת שקועה וקשה, בלילה האחרון ריח חריף של ביוב מהמקלחת לכל החדר לא יודעת מה קרה.
הארוחת בוקר טעימה אך משעממת באיזשהו שלב כשאתה הרבה לילות במקום, ממש צמוד לפסי הרכבת ויש רעש אבל בקושי הייתי בחדר אז בקטנה!
