Excellent stay very near beach.
Pros:

We were very happy with our week at Golden Bay. It was two minutes walk from the beach. The air-conditioned room was simple, clean and comfortable.

The hotel restaurant food was excellent and varied and we ate breakfasts, lunches and dinners there. There are also a range of other restaurants nearby serving international dishes, plus a small supermarket within five minutes walk.

The staff were so friendly and helpful. At one point the manager successfully helped us sort out a situation where we had a money problem with a driver - thankyou! I had a blissful and very reasonably priced massage on the premises.

Cons:

We can't fault it!

Pros:

Very nice and helpful staff, who secured us the best prices for transportation from the airport and back. The breakfast included in the accommodation price was great, you could choose from 3 options, which then had many sub-options and at the same time you could ask for changes. They even prepared breakfast for us to take away on the road once. There is air conditioning and a fan in the room, which is great.

Cons:

The downside is the busy road, but if you want to stay in Weligama close to great surf spots and right on the beach, you have no other option. On the other hand, accommodation further away, further from the beach, has even busier roads around it.

Not good...
Pros:

Como pontos positivos, destaco a simpatia dos funcionários e a boa localização do hotel. No entanto, considerando o valor cobrado, a relação custo-benefício foi bastante fraca para a qualidade oferecida.

Cons:

A experiência no hotel ficou aquém das expectativas. No momento do pagamento, foi cobrada uma taxa adicional de 3% para pagamento em cartão, algo que não estava devidamente informado previamente, o que causou desconforto. O quarto não dispunha sequer de água, o pequeno-almoço foi muito limitado e a limpeza deixou a desejar, comprometendo a qualidade da estadia

Choose this only if this is your last option and you really need to stay close to beach.
Pros:

Great location if your primary purpose is beginner surfing and great food.

Cons:

Super Small room(photo is from 0.5x), uncomfortable and noisy bed, noisy A/C, gyser does not work, no amenities like water, coffee packges, glass spoons, etc. in the room. No blacket.

Pros:

Unsere Wünsche würden schnell erfüllt. Der Besitzer hat uns einen früheren Check in ermöglicht. Laundry service wurde innerhalb 4 Std. erledigt. Die Lage ist gut, durch eine Straße vom Strand entfernt. Supermarkt in der Nähe.
