Un havre de paix
Pros:

Nous avons passé un séjour incroyable dans cette villa. Les hôtes ont été aux petits soins du début à la fin.

​Le confort de la villa

​Les chambres sont vastes et spacieuses, équipées d'un petit réfrigérateur, d'une bouilloire avec du café, d'une climatisation efficace et d'une eau bien chaude. Tout était d'une propreté irréprochable.

​Côté cuisine, les repas sont excellents et copieux, avec une carte variée. Le jardin est magnifiquement entretenu et la piscine est nickel. Les propriétaires sont d'une gentillesse extrême ; ils ont même pensé aux détails en mettant à disposition des jeux de plage et des bouées pour les enfants.

​Emplacement et activités

​La villa est idéalement située : en seulement 5 minutes à pied, on accède à la grande plage de Weligama, parfaite pour le surf. Pour rejoindre les bars, les restaurants et les animations, il suffit de marcher 10 à 15 minutes le long du rivage.

​Nos excursions

​Pour le reste de notre voyage, nous nous sommes déplacés en tuk-tuk. Nous avons ainsi pu :

​Visiter la ville de Galle.

​Faire un safari en bateau (boat safari).

​Découvrir les environs en toute liberté.

Nous y avons passé 3 nuits avec notre fils de 5 ans Léon et nous y reviendrons avec plaisir!!

Cons:

Rien!

Pros:

The owners were really nice and welcoming and they have a cute, friendly dog. The hotel is also close to the beach, it seems like the beach is better suited for surfing than for swimming.

Cons:

You can hear the trains passing very loudly starting around 5 or 6 in the morning. It’s quite noticeable, and even earplugs don’t fully block out the noise

Pros:

Fantastic breakfast and wonderful dog Sara. The AC in the room was great. Nice to be just outside of the main tourist road. 2min walk to beach and you can walk along the beach in 20 minutes to the surf schools. 20 mins walk into town or plenty of tuk tuks and buses along the main road

Cons:

Wij zijn weggegaan na 1 nacht… (betaald voor 3 nachten)
Pros:

De gastheer was erg aardig en sprak goed Engels.
Het zwembad en het ontbijt waren goed.

Cons:

Toen wij deze accommodatie boekte hadden ze een beoordeling van 9.5, dat is het zeker weten niet waard! Toen wij aankwamen was de beoordeling al gezakt naar 8.5, wat ons niet verbaasde. Wij hebben uiteindelijk besloten om na de eerste nacht een ander hotel te zoeken. De eigenaresse had deze review kunnen voorkomen door over restitutie te beginnen, al was het 50%. Ten opzichte van andere accomodaties, beter gelegen, betaal je hier een fors bedrag van maar liefst € 76 per nacht (familie kamer).

Onderstaand lees je onze bevindingen.

Wij verbleven in de familiekamer met stapelbed. Een aantal negatieve punten van de kamer:
- matras van het tweepersoons bed is hard en aan vervanging toe
- naast het tweepersoons bed is een raam, zonder gordijn. Zodra het licht wordt ben je wakker
- de hygiëne is door heel Sri Lanka anders dan Nederland, echter toen ik een handdoek over de rand van het stapelbed hing zat die vol met stof. Ook overal stof en vuil onder de bedden waar je redelijk eenvoudig met een stofzuiger onder kunt.
- de airco lijkt nieuw maar normaal als ik een airco op 19 graden zet is het echt te koud voor iedereen. Nu hadden we het allemaal warm.
- het douche systeem was net vervangen met een warmte unit. Warm water was prima maar de druk van het systeem daar kan een dame haar haren niet mee uitspoelen…

Locatie: we hadden helaas te laat gelezen dat de trein naast het huis overlast kan veroorzaken. Maar bereid je hierop voor want die trein rijdt tot laat en begint vroeg en toetert je je bed uit. Als je met je gezin nachtrust wenst te hebben dan moet je deze accommodatie niet boeken.

Verder is de locatie wat verder weg van de surfspot. Mocht je wensen te surfen, dan dien je altijd een taxi te nemen. Of 20+ minuten wandelen.

Overige punten: zoals je leest in de reviews hebben ze een hond. Als je aankomt zit die netjes in zijn hok en daarna loopt hij los rond. Niet iedereen is hiervan gediend, vraag het op zijn minst.

Short and sweet stay in Weligama
Pros:

It’s a very nice vila owned by very nice couple and their dog Sara. We were well received and assisted with all our needs. Breakfast is good, the pool is amazing.

Cons:

The house it located right next to the train rails and you might be woken up by the train passing; however they informed us from the beginning and we preferred that than the noise of the busy main road.

Pros:

We had a really good stay in Weligama. The Hosts are just awesome. The accomodation is located in a bit calmer area. Room and Pool were always clean. Food Was really good. The Host arranged us Trips and drivers always within a few minutes. Of course Sara, The dog, was our Highlight. Villa 26 Was truly one of our best accomodations on our sri lanka Travel.

Overall, it did not seem value for the amount paid.
Pros:

They had a very nice and friendly golden retriever dog called Sarah. It is located a 2 minute walk away from the beach which is great! They have a small sized swimming pool with ambient lights and lot of different floats.

Cons:

The rooms were much smaller than what appeared in the pictures, the ground floor family room had very poor ventilation. There is a railway track right next to the house, which is ok once you get used to it. The breakfast was average. The hosts were a bit moody at times. The entire lower floor had the smell of cigarette smoke.

Disappointing stay with average accommodation
Pros:

Being bluntly honest the accommodation was ok, we had to request the bedding to be changed however and my wife bought water at the bar and then upset the female owner by attempting to put the was water back in the fridge at the bar although we had been instructed to do this by her husband the evening before. It was unsettling for my wife and we decided to leave 2 days early.
