The WiFi is not reliable .
Sehr gutes Bett, Pool, Dschungelfeeling direkt am Fluss, sauber
Bellender Hund in der Nachbarschaft, eine Bootstour hatten wir angefragt - es hat uns aber niemand deswegen kontaktiert, es sind kleine Ausbesserungsarbeiten nötig (Sprung in der Glasscheibe). Frühstück vor Ort wurde nicht angeboten.
El lloc es increible i les vistes son espectaculars amb el riu davant en plena natura. Recomanem aquest lloc moltíssim i la gent que ho gestiona fa que l’estada sigui mes especial. Gràcies per tot, repetirem segur.
Nice apartment that had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Staff were friendly and helpful Near to coast and beach
Little bit of a walk to get to shops and restaurants
The hotels emphasis on guests relaxing, very calm vibe by the river, peaceful, nature. Nicer than the pictures, plants everywhere, exceeded expectations. We also had a private kitchenette and large balcony area overlooking the river and we even saw loads of monkeys and birds

המקום היה לנו פשוט מושלם. מיטה נוחה, מארח חייכן ומסביר פנים, ארוחת בוקר טעימה מאוד, שקט ושלווה, מרחק הליכה קצר לים, יש גם מרפסת מאובזרת במטבחון וכל מה שצריך כדי ליהנות משהות מושלמת בווליגמה. אנחנו נחזור שוב בוודאות.
הכל היה מעולה
Perfect accommodation in a quiet area surrounded with beautiful nature. The host is amazing and I had a wonderful time! Highly recommend!!!
Le gérant et sa famille sont adorable. La piscine très agréable et le décor presque magique.
Il manquerait une moustiquaire pour le lit.
Such a great stay in Weligama, beautiful location so relaxing and zen. Beds are extremely comfy and our room had its own little kitchenette which was really nice. Super spacious balcony and showers were fantastic.

Thank you, Baba! Was graet! Very big room. Big and clean kitchen in the big balcony - very useful ! Very big and clean shower! Hot water and a/c work excellent ! Beautiful view on river. Good and helpful stuff ! We like it very much! We recommend strongly !
A little far from the center surf erea. The pool and outside furniture could be more well-maintained and polished. We were also surprised that there were no water bottles and shower amenities in the room, unlike in other places.
ВСЕ! Отличные номера, красивый бассейн и вид на реку, радушные хозяева!
Rent och fräscht, stort rum, liten "terrass" för oss själva, lugnt område men nära till stranden och mer centrala delarna av Weligama.
Quiet area, clean, spacious and comfortable room with big bathroom. Close to a beach that is not crowded since it is not located in the city centre with a lot of friendly surf coaches.
Everything was fine.
Beautiful location right at the river, nice garden and pool area. It’s about a 30 minute walk to the main village.
The breakfast was a bit expensive for what it was, but otherwise it was very nice.
Clean, modern and comfortable place to stay! The staff team were brilliant, making us feel right at home. Located a 2min walk to the beach and only a short tuktuk ride from Mirissa and Weligama. Would recommend!

It’s a really nice, comfortable and quiet place.
Not too far away, but still a tuk-tuk ride from the central Weligama (walking is not an option as roads are very busy)
We liked everything! The place the room the stuff It was clean big and nice room the stuff is amazinggg It was very peaceful lovely and quiet place We booked another night !
The only thing is it's a little bit far from the beach And no breakfast included 🫠
I love it! Nice cozy place, nature around, close to the ocean and many tourist places. The owners are so gentle, always asking if I need something. I highly recommend it!
Villa the Leaf is an amazing place to relax and enjoy some peaceful time in Weligama. The rooms are really big and we had access to the garden which is located right next to the river. The owners are lovely and help you with all the things you need. They even provided mosquito repellent. We felt super welcome at any time. Highly recommended ❤️
The pool, garden and location were amazing. Baba and her family were adorable. The availability of breakfast was convenient and tasty.

Garden
Peaceful place close to a beautiful river. The hotel staff is very kind and helpful of you have any questions. The rooms are large and the bed is really big and comfortable (even for couples, though I was alone). The bathroom was also very big and comfy, and there is a nice balcony with kitchen facilities. The breakfast was also very nice. You can choose between local and continental food (I really recommend Sri Lankan food!!) I can highly recommend this hotel!

Villa is located at the river. It gives you a little bit different feeling and view. And You can use property's boat to have a ride. Beach is just 5 min away and we enjoyed that short walk. Staff is really helpful and friendly. Our son has serious knee injury and was lucky to meet property's owner who is Ayurveda doctor (he is not working there). So, he got some treatment as well. That case shows how nice and helpful are local people
We liked almost everything. I can't imagine any complaint to share with others
Kindness and availability of the hosts

Beautiful place with warm and kind people. It is a tradiodional place run by local people, Upeska and her family but it is also very equiped for a comfortable stay. Upeska would always respond within a few minutes and make sure to care for all our needs. Their food is family style and delicious. I would definetely book again!
The room was very clean,spacious and quiet !it’s just a few minutes walk from the beach and the centre of weligama!really nice view to the river!Upeska our hostess went above and beyond to help us with everything we needed!The breakfast was basic but nice !100% value for money!
We didn’t find anything wrong
very nice hosts and a beautiful room! the garden is next to the river and with all those trees it spends even shadow to the pool area - so perfect if you travel with kids!
Lovely serene place at the riverside run by a very friendly family. Spacious comfy room with a/c and a great garden with a pool to hang out. Evert wish was met in an instant. Only 5 minutes to the Beach. 100% recommendation
Absolutely stunning villa on the river, amazingly friendly host and fantastic facilities
True to the pictures - tucked away and quiet we got the whole top floor. The rooms were enormous and had really lovely balconies. Very comfortable. 2 mn walk to the sea. You are far from where most of the weligama action is but can walk to it in 20 mn or so on the beach which is lovely. There was also a nice couple of restaurants on the beach very near.
The food including breakfast was expensive and ok but not amazing so we ended up buying our own
spacious room and high ceilings
very noisy, at night there was a disco nearby, which was very audible until 5 am, there was construction nearby, which was audible during the day. Also, the noise isolation is so-so. We lived on the first floor and clearly heard the stomping of children from above.
It is very isolated, nice, comfortbale and quite.
Garden and pool area are beautiful and geeen.
Very friendly staff, room has lovely view of the river and air conditioner was working well. The bed is good, but the bathroom was slightly worn out, especially toilet. No shampoo, no body wash, only a little piece of soap.
It's pretty far from the center but the beach is close. The second night was really noisy due to some outdoor party nearby. The pool is tiny and not clean. Room requires more lightning
A great place and great location. And the staff is outstanding🙏
We love everything. Baba and her family are so welcoming. They really look after you. Food amazing. Location amazing. Very peaceful and so near to everything. Local beach is great for relaxing and surfing. We just can’t help but keep coming back
Everything perfect ⭐️
The rooms were very nice, lovely location over the river
It was a little too far from the main town
Clean rooms with kitchens in each room, situated at the river
Pool and outside areas could be maintained a bit better to make it more welcoming to enjoy being at the property (e.g. new sunbeds)
This was the best stay we had in Sri Lanka! The room was big, clean and compfy. The owner is super friendly and was helping us organizing nice activities. The river next to the building is beautiful and you can watch monkeys during your stay. Would come back!
Great location naar The Beach, very clean room with a big balcony and Kitchen, lovely people :)
It was a very pleasant stay at the Leaf ! The host and the rooms were both really good. We would definitely come back
Tranquil atmosphere , property small and friendly . The staff very helpful and sweet. Great garden obviously looked after with great care . Our room looked out to river The family were lovely , and invited us to join them at a temple celebration , which unfortunately we could not attend .
It would have been nice for there be a small selection of drinks and snacks available as the property was a bit isolated.
Location next to the river is very nice, rooms are spacious and clean. Quiet part of Weligama beach is quite close - at walking distance - you have to cross the main road though
Breakfast - better go somewhere near
Pool and location was great. Also we had access to the kitchen and balcony with river view. In addiction host shared bikes what was a great convenience.
It’s close to some farm, generally a cow and a cock woke up us about 5 am. In addiction in a middle of the night, AC broke down. We couldn’t reach out the host and there was nobody at the hotel. Without AC you can’t sleep, the temperature is unbearable.
This was a beautiful hotel very close to the quiet end of Weligama bay, situated right on the river with a lovely pool.
Amazing place. Very peaceful. Nice staff. Not crowded lovely river view. totally worth it
Everything was so amazingly perfect... we got so comfortable and were so happy that It was so hard to leave the place. Baba and her family especially her dad were the sweetest most helpful people and made us feel at home.
- very nice and helpful owner - spacious and clean room - very good ac - hot water in bathroom - lovely, clean pool - river view from the room terrace
The location is amazing
The staff was very friendly and tried their best to provide everything needed for a nice stay at the leaf. The room was very spacious amd so was the bed. We could also enjoy a great breakfast in the morning. We enjoyed our stay very much and felt at home:) thanks
Good restaurants are rather far away… Consider renting a scooter there or order a tuc tuc. The staff will be happy to help you with that. The guesthouse is right in front of a river, which is beautiful but also attracts mosquitoes, so take an insect repellent with you
The hotel is in a beautiful location next to the river. Village behind Weligama beach. Surrounded by greenery, nice small area. Everything is very nice, clean. Animals come to the village - monkeys, a lot of beautiful birds. The room was clean, there is large pleasant terrace overlooking the river.
We had several unpleasant moments in this hotel: 1) The sleeping pillows were dirty and smelled bad. They need laundry after each guest. 2) The staff and owners of the guesthouse are often absent. It happened that there was no one besides us and no one could help us when the power was turned off. One evening the main gate was closed and we couldn't get inside the hotel. The owner said, if we are not there, then write to Instagram, but she did not immediately use it there either. 3) 3) We rented a bike from the owner of this hotel for 1 day. And she cheated us with gasoline. We used less than a liter of petrol in a day. She charged us for 3 liters at 850 Rupee each. Although at gas stations it then cost 350 Rupee per liter. Then we also found out that she also took the price for renting her old bike three times higher than everywhere else. It was embarrassing. Do not rent a bike from this hotel.
the exceptional family that owns the resort made as feel like home 🙏🏼
really liked the pool and the host was such a lovely lady and made us feel very welcome and anything we needed she sorted out 😊😊
all good - small bit far from weligama main strip but we knew this coming
wonderful location, really nice and amazing owner !! really clean definitely doing it again.
The view to the like is beautiful and relaxing. The garden area is comfy and nice because there are lots of plants, a pool an plenty of beds and tables. The room is spacious and the bed is big and comfortable. Air con works well and WiFi is great. The bathroom is very big too with hot water. Service is good , they want to make sure you are happy and they had a nice gesture of bringing us a small free snack one time we were in the pool.
They have laundry service which we used, although they waited till our check out day to give us the clothes( actually we had to go and get it and it was still on a a chair piled up getting wrinkly from the night before) It would be nice to have a bed side lamp because the only light in the room is the bright white ceiling one.
