Luvi Lucas River Side

Location was nice and rooms are clean

Its better to have basic sanitary

Good Sri Lankan and friendly staff

The steps upstairs a potential hazard

Nice big rooms and terrasse. Good value for the area

The breakfast was not as varied as suggested, we could not choose in the morning. It's a bit outside the main area but not too far either

Понравилось все, прекрасная атмосфера)

Ubicación y entorno del lago. Los desayunos con vistas muy bien. Tienen servicio de lavandería.

Podrían mejorar la limpieza, especialmente en el baño y las sábanas de la cama. El tema de las hormigas es inevitable en una zona rural y cerca del lago, pero hay por todas partes (y gigantes). Los ruidos de los extractores del aire acondicionado complican el descanso.

Fabulous location with beautiful riverside view from the room terrace. Warm, friendly and very helpful staff. Excellent facilities, great breakfasts. Easy access to the lovely beach amenities, watersports, all the shops and fantastic resaurants. River trip was amazing!

Отличное расположение, потрясающий вид на озеро и позитивный хозяин. Это лучшее место, где я жил на Шри-Ланке

מקום חמוד ממש אנשים טובים יחסית במרכז עם הליכה של 7 דק

Rustig straatje, goed gelegen tov strand en restaurantjes. Mooie tuin met drijvend vlonder waar goed ontbijt wordt verzorgd door lieve mensen. Ruime kamer.

De badkamer kan beter. De wc en douche zitten bijvoorbeeld in dezelfde 'kuil' waardoor je altijd natte voeten hebt na een toiletbezoek. Een trekker zou al helpen.

Sehr netter Host! Ist sofort rausgekommen als ich am Abend mal von einem Hund vor Ort Angst hatte und ihn angerufen habe!

The place is well kept and they are even enhancing it further so I really was happy with the property. The floating boat on the river where you can chill and have breakfast is also nice. The host was very kind and always ready to help. The place also has two dogs who are well behaved my wife is scared of dogs but she was able to manage and was really happy how disciplined the dogs were. There is place to sit outside your room and a relaxing chair as well. You can sit there read a book or simply glance at the river. I really like sitting there and having breakfast

The room should have 1 full length mirror, this was missing in the room and the washroom drainage system could be better as well. There were not deal breakers but these can be improved on by the owner and will make the place 10/10

Petit déjeuner OK - chambre spacieuse et propre avec petit balcon, emplacement pratique pour aller dans le centre ville de Welligama

Draps et moustiquaires étaient troués et usés. Pas de savon, même pour les mains. L’hôtel a besoin d'être rénové. Insonorisation très mauvaise : nos voisins de chambre ont fait la fête jusqu'à 3h du matin à côté de notre chambre, nuit très difficile. Pas de rideau sur la vitre de la porte, ce qui laisse entrer la lumière

the rooms are clean, the breakfast was delicious and the view was just amazing! we loved our stay here a lot

Una notte da sogno, con vista incredibile sul fiume e colazione indimenticabile. Gentilezza dei padroni che scalda il cuore. Possibilità di lasciare i bagagli il giorno del checkout. Una zona di Weligama fuori dal caos, ma vicina a tutto.

Ubicación muy buena. La habitación es muy amplia y cuenta con todo lo necesario (tiene aire acondicionado). Las vistas son muy bonitas, dan al rio. Destacar la amabilidad del personal y el desayuno local, muy rico.

Bellissimo alloggio immerso nel verde con vista sul fiume. La camera è ampia e pulita. Il bagno è grande. Bello il portico che collega le varie stanze e il gazebo galleggiante sul fiume. Ottima posizione, a 5 minuti a piedi dal mare. Il personale è davvero gentile ed accogliente.

I had such a wonderful stay at Luvi Lucas. My room was very spacious and clean. The views from the balcony were beautiful as it overlooks the river and is surrounded by palm trees. The breakfast was delicious and filling. The family who run Luvi are so friendly and will chat with you and make you feel very welcome. It was a perfect stay for me. Thankyou so much. The two dogs are gorgeous!

Had an amazing stay at Luvi Lucas Hotel! The host, Ravindu, is incredibly kind and helpful — he guided us with everything from bus routes to local travel tips. He also arranged scooty rentals, surfing, and snorkeling at great prices. His family is warm and welcoming, and they serve absolutely delicious home-cooked food. The location is perfect — just a short walk from the beach and close to the city center. Overall, it’s excellent value for money and I’d highly recommend staying here!

This was definitely the highlight of our trip in Sri Lanka. Ravindu and his family (and two amazing dogs!) were so welcoming, helpful, and so nice about everything. Breakfast everyday was great! Fresh fruits, eggs, and toast. So yum! If we needed extra toilet paper, towels, anything, we just chatted with them and they helped us out by giving it to us. We were having daily protein shakes and the only minor inconvenience for us was that we had no fridge... Ravi and his family let us put anything in their fridge and walfway through our stay, they brought us a mini fridge up in our room. AC was good as well, which was much welcomed when it was super hot and humid. And the two dogs were just the cherry on top. Especially Cal, who was so cuddly and always wanted to play and come for pets. Definitely the best service we've received while travelling in our 3-month backpacking trip all around the world. It made our stay in Sri Lanka even better.

Nothing - It was amazing! Just make sure you keep your bathroom door closed as from the window, it will get hot air from there and not cool down your room properly :) but that is very minor.

The breakfast is great and the room is clean, the owner is helpful

The best place in Weligama.

This really ticked all the boxes, a beautiful location along the river providing some peace and quiet which is rare for Weligama. The family who run it are so kind and helpful. Really recommend.

Nothing!

Riverside location a close walk to the beach and town Friendly family run place. Use of their kitchen fridge was handy. Excellent breakfasts served in "the boat," a floating pontoon on the river. Comfortable good-sized room and bathroom and balcony with river view. The pedestal fan as well as air-conditioning was usedul. Plenty of drying space with 2 racks provided. Nice ambience including sounds from the nearby Buddhist temple.

A small fridge and tea coffee facilities would improve the set-up, although they happily let us use their fridge and brought trays of tea up for us.

Peaceful location by the river. Views from the balcony. Access to their kitchen. Walking distance to beach and shops. Spacious clean and modern room

Very dull lighting in the room.

Quiet away from busy beach front . Very friendly family and air con was invaluable !!

Nothing

Great location, close to the city center. Owner is extremely helpful and helped us with information, organising tours, cars etc. Home was as expected and matches the photos. Would definitely recommend

The rooms were very spacious, the bed comfortable, aircon worked well and we thought the location was great! 10 minute walk to the beach. The host was also lovely and very helpful. It’s also one of the only places we’ve had hot water in Sri Lanka!

Nothing

Amazing host

The AC didn’t work the first night. The basic things should be provided in room like hand towel and hand wash soap in bathroom,a kettle with few glasses or cups.

The rooms were very clean and it was close to the center

This has been our absolute favorite stay in Sri Lanka. The host family went above and beyond to take care of us, making us feel truly at home. At times, it felt as though we were part of their family. The rooms were spotless, and the property features a charming floating deck overlooking the river, where you can enjoy breakfast or dinner with a stunning view. We even spotted a huge crocodile from there! The lady who lives there also created beautiful hand-crafted souvenirs for us to take home for our friends. We would highly recommend this place 10/10, and look forward to returning someday!

Everything about the property was amazing. The river view, room facilities and the host was fabulous. We stayed for one night and we really enjoyed it

None

Firstly, the property is neatly maintained. It is situated at a perfect calming destination away from all the huzzle and buzzle of the city. This river side property was a bliss to stay in. Thanks to Ravindu for being an amazing and a friendly host. He didn’t leave us stranded or in doubt. Excellent property, friendly host and his family, serene environment and hazzle free stay!

Everything was perfect! We went surfing in the morning and the host let us went back to our room to take a shower. The room was big, the kindest host I’ve ever met in Sri Lanka, nice location, walking distance to the beach and also the delicious breakfast was 10/10! The food was so good so we decided to have lunch here as well and of course we enjoyed it a lottt. :)))

The breakfast is on a floating restaurant with river view! The staff is very friendly. They helped on our question about train schedule and which station to get off. Spacious room. Comfortable bed.

No shampoo, slipper, tissue. Please bring your own. No mirror in the living room.

Beautiful location on the riverside, very big room & bathroom, comfortable bed, quick &strong wifi, AC, kind & helpful hosts, quiet at nights with naturesounds

It is a beautiful hotel in a calm part of weligama. It is so calm that in the mornings you can spot monkeys in the trees next to the balcony. As well as squirrels , beautifully coloured birds and peacocks ! The rooms are very spacious and have a big bathroom. There's also an indoor seating part in front of the room . Breakfast is really good and healthy and can be taken on the flooting terrace while overlooking the sunrise over the river. Truly magical . Beach is only 10 min walk away. And not to forget : the beds are extremely comfortable! If asked, the owner will arrange airport transfer or other taxi services!

Everything was great

Its a good place with awesome view! Friendly owner and nice breakfast. Very close to Weligama beach and main surf spot. Also restaurants and Foodsity is nearby like 5-7 min walk

Do not leave your food outside cuz monkeys can eat it )

A very big room and bathroom with loads of space for our luggae. Every room has its own small porch with a table a chairs overlooking the beautiful garden and the river. The location was very convenient as well, very quiet, but only 10 min walk from the surfers beach and the restaurants. A great place to chill. They offer laundry cleaning services and scooter rental too :)

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, we have been travelling around Sri Lanka and this was our favourite stay. It was beautiful by the river where you could enjoy your breakfast! We had a delicious smoothie bowl most mornings and also had eggs, toast and fruit another morning. The room was sooo clean and a very large room with a nice balcony to sit and relax. I read some reviews about mosquitoes but we didn’t see any, we didn’t even use the mosquito net provided. The hosts are super friendly and helpful! Their dogs are another bonus, they are so friendly, playful and soft. I would recommend this place to anyone

Nothing!!

We enjoyed our stay here, the room is nice and spacious, the bed was really comfortable, air con worked, nice spacious bathroom. Breakfast was good and the setting was lovely - right on the river. There was water refill and we were able to use the kettle in the kitchen which was nice.

Mosquitoes. The latch on our door was broken, so we couldn't just pull it too - this was a bit tricky with the mosquitoes around.

This was by far the best place I stayed in Sri Lanka: spacious room, clean bathroom, excellent WiFi and great breakfast. And location.

Beware of mosquitos when sitting outside, close to the river.

Every room has it's own terrace with a lounger, chairs and table which is perfect to spend the hot hours of the day in the shade. Rooms are equipped with AC and fan and are spacious and cozy. Beds have a mosquito net so you can have a peaceful sleep. The beach is a little more than 5min walk from the property. We enjoyed that the guesthouse was right next to the river where we saw some birds and wildlife. Breakfast varies and is a good start for the day. We booked for one night and stayed ten, because we liked everything so much.

The location is great. Cozy jungle garden, quiet and peaceful. A lot of shadow, good to spend time on the terrace. The room is nice and clean, spacious. The bad is comfortable, air conditioner works properly, blackout curtains. Few minutes from all the places you may wanna visit in weligama (2-7 mins by bike or 7-15 by foot). The owner and his family works there and they are extraordinary hospitable and cheerful. You literally feel the warm they share greeting you sincerely every day.

Friendly hosts, nice rooms and a nice floating patio on the river

Everything! we booked one night and liked it so much stayed 3. All the family were so helpful and welcoming, helping us arrange transport and cooking delicious breakfasts! Answering all our queries and super responsive. We had a large, cool, spacious, family room with a terrace overlooking the river. the aircon worked really well and we also had a fan. the beds were large and comfy, the bathroom was also large and everything was spotlessly clean. it was really peaceful having breakfast on the floating platform, lots of interesting nature to see as well daily life going by on the nearby road. Thank you to Ravindu and all the family for a brilliant stay!

Situated directly at a beutiful river. The people were really nice... I especially want to highlight the grandpa!!!

Ravindu's family are the best hosts. This place with a soul. We had amazing breakfast and had a choice between different types (local, western, bowl). Breakfast serves on the platform that is on the river with a perfect view. Monkey, birds, nature are everywhere in the garden. Each room with big terrace. We met new friends and had a great barbecue, that Ravindu cooked. Internet wi-fi is stable and its was enough for work (video conferences). Ravindu helped us a lot, thanks him, with taxi, rent motorbike and even with car rent to go to Ella and other things. You can also buy coconut right there for normal price. And after they can cut it for white pieces that inside. We stayed in this place everytime when we returned back to Weligama and it was the best choice. The location is good to beach 7 min, and close to supermarket and fruits point. Fridge is not in every room, but you can use main big fridge on the first floor.

All was good, if we had problems, Ravindu helped us to solve them. My friend had a problem with ear, insurance doctor didnt help good. Ravindu recommended another one, who solve the problem and cleaned ear.

The location was so nice and quiet, away from all the noise of Weligama town but still close enough to get to it if you want to go to restaurants and bars. What sets this place apart is definitely the owners, a Sri Lankan family with true Sri Lankan hospitality at the heart. The Mum, dad and son who run this place are so kind and welcoming. The food is done if the best I’ve had in over 2 months in Sri Lanka besides my own family (I am half Sri Lankan!) so be sure to choose the “Sri Lankan breakfast” option in the mornings. This place is a real, authentic gem in the south coast.

Friendly family and good view of the river

It was all pretty average

Luvi Lucas is in the most beautiful & amazing setting next to the river. The photos dont do it enough justice. You even have monkeys swinging through the trees next to your balcony, 2 very cheeky dogs and lots of other wildlife coming ang going from this perfect river setting. There is a floating dining area as well. The place is everything that you could ask for. The hosts are really really friendly and they cannot do enough to help you. Lovely people!!! Its a 2 minute walk to the beach and a 5-10 minute walk or 2 mins on a scooter (hired at the apartment for £3.50 a day) to the town. Restaurants are within walking distance for the evening or you can eat at the apartment. There is nothing at all to fault Luvi Lucas. Perfect!!!

Nothing. It was perfect.

This has been one of the best guesthouses we have stayed in over the last 1.5 months in Sri Lanka. The room is really spacious, and also has a big bathroom and a terrace which faces directly onto a really nice garden and with a view of the river. The family that run it are absolutely lovely - kind, friendly and genuine. We loved the breakfasts. There are three options but we always chose the smoothie bowl option with banana + papaya or banana + pineapple smoothie, as it was a delicious and healthy way to start our day. We also had veg curry for lunch, which was very tasty and good value. We hope we'll be able to come back here, as we felt totally at home.

Nothing

The family of owner were so kind and helpful. They always smiled to me. I felt like I became a member of this family. The room is clean and simple. The villa is located in front of river. So the view was nice. You can have a breakfast on floating restaurant. I could get the information for various activities. (surfing, yoga, cooking class..etc) Specially, the owner took care of me a lot. I was so thankful for him. :) I will stay in here again on next visit.

nothing

value for money, clean rooms and basic facilities available. they have a floating restaurant that is so cool. the hosts are very friendly and helpful

The location is good enough, all markets, shops, cafe and restaurants are nearby. We gained convinient appartment with a beatiful lake view. The host was friendly, advised us several good places for dinner. The hygiene is excellent, the room was clean, fresh and cozzy. It was much more than we waited to have, even better than on photograph. We really enjoyed our Stay, I think it was one of the best place we have. Absolutelly reccomend.

Everything was good.

The owner and the staff are very very nice and present :) the place is great and extremely good quality price

The location along the river is really great. We had one of the room at the 1st floor. They are bigger and newer than those on the ground floor. The view from the Terrasse is better as well. You can choose different breakfast which is great. But it's not big. Just enough to start the day!

When we arrived, half of the lights were not working. They repaired it quickly but it's something which should be checked before we arrive. It would be great if the host propose a few drinks from the fridge. As they have a restaurant as well, I was expecting to be able to order a beer or a drink. But it was not possible.

I liked the location - peaceful and quite , the guest house itself - very clean and neat , breakfast - very delicious and nutritious, and the hosts - very friendly and nice people. BTW, if you want to stay for a long period , to work remotely , do not hesitate - the environment is quite and Wi-Fi speed is good to support video conferences :)

everything was perfect

clean and spacious rooms, excellent hosts who treated us very well.

We loved the tranquility and calmness of this backwater property. it was clean , comfortable and perfect for our needs . Everyone was lovely and so hospitable, A lovely Sri Lankan experience away from the Western beach zone , which is still only a short walk away . Great breakfast too .

Nothing

Luvi Lucas is a very calm and relaxing place next to the river, but still close to the busy part of weligama. The rooms are big with a good bathroom and a warm shower. The Breakfast is very delicious and you can eat it on the floating boat. Everybody at Luvi Lucas is super kind and helpful !!
