Lawrence Villa

Service en de kamer

Perfect villa with super Nice owners. The wire makes great breakfast every morning and is very helpful if needed. Would recommend!

Super friendly and helpful staff. Peaceful garden, large room, and delicious breakfast. Great value stay.

We had a great stay. The owner Lawrence is a great host. He is very kind and helpful. The breakfast was very good too. Spacious room and a lovely garden in front of the house. Very close to the beach and some nice restaurants/cafes close by.

Les attentions du personnel et de Lawrence. Le petit déjeuner. Le calme du lieu.

Un peu cher à mon goût.

Le calme est un atout indéniable

La climatisation peu efficace

Staff is incredibly kind Room is very clean and shower is good FYI/ if you come for surf it’s a good 15/20 walk to the first board rental

need to pay in cash

What a lovely stay at Lawrence Villa! The rooms were very generous in size and loved the added little kitchenette. Very comfortable beds and good breakfast. Accommodation is very well located in a quiet spot but not too far from lots of good eating and surf schools. The host Lawrence has lots of good tips about things to do locally. All in all, a fantastic stay!

Kleinschalige accommodatie met prachtige ruime kamers met eigen terras. Met heerlijk ontbijt dat elke ochtend weer anders was. Een oase van rust in de mooie tuin, maar op loopafstand van strand, restaurants en winkeltjes. Drukker strand en stad ook loopbaar of eenvoudig met tuktuk bereikbaar.

Niets

De kamer was super. Groot, fijne bedden. Mooie badkamer een balkon en een keuken.

Niets.

Fue una estancia muy agradable. La habitación era muy amplia y completa. La ubicación está muy bien para ir andando tanto al centro del pueblo como a la playa. Tiene restaurantes cercanos. El desayuno muy completo y el personal muy amable. Recomendado para ir en familia.

Nada. Cumplió nuestras espectativas y se adecuaba perfectamente a su precio.

The room is very clean.I think it's the most important thing.

The villa is set in beautiful gardens in a quiet part of Weligama whilst also being close enough to walk into town in around 15 minutes. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The best thing however is the people. The owner and his staff are so friendly and helpful. We particularly loved the lady who cooked our breakfast and looked after the place. Her lovely smile and cooking was such a nice welcome to Sri Lanka. The owner is responsive and has lots of good suggestions for things to do.

Nothing

Parking space, fridge, friendly staff.

Disapointing and not tasty breakfast. Noisy A/C

We had lovely breakfasts with various Sri Lanka dishes. The hosts were brilliant and very accommodating to requests.

A visit to this facility is pure pleasure and I sincerely recommend it to everyone. The service was exemplary - Mr. Lawrence was very nice and helpful and the lady who served us breakfast was lovely. Breakfasts from local cuisine are very tasty, fresh and on time. The room is clean and well-kept, and the owner makes sure that nothing is missing.

The beds were comfortable and the gardens are nice enough. There was a little kitchenette area, but we didn’t use it so can’t comment on whether everything worked or if it was well stocked.

The room needed to be swept again after we checked in and the breakfast was very basic. Given the price, it didn’t feel like it was good value for what we got.

The accommodation is great, the rooms are well equipped and spotlessly clean. Lovely linen, kitchenette and bathroom facilities are excellent. Easy access to lots of sights around Weligama. Thank you so much for hosting us.

Comfortable and clean. Secluded with the nice garden.

N/A

I can recommend this place. The room was nice and clean. It had everything we needed, the internet worked well. The location is quiet with nature sounds which is great, and every morning we were visited by an orange cat :). The place is a short walk away from the city, beach and surf schools and is right next to my favourite restaurant in the city. Everyday we got a different traditional Sri Lankan breakfast which was great. Service is really nice and welcoming. It's nice to talk to them to learn a few things. The owner took us to his local yoga class which we loved. We also used laundry service which was at a standard price and fast.

Sometimes the water is not hot if it's not sunny but we didn't mind since it was so warm outside and it's more eco friendly :)

I had such high expectations for this property reading the reviews. The room and the balcony were big, which we loved.

On the other hand, the host was terrible. First, I spoke to the owner weeks in advance asking him where we could rent a scooter from, and he said he would give us one to rent. On the day of our arrival I asked again if I could have the scooter the next morning and he confirmed. But the next day he said he doesn’t have the scooter and we should rent one ourselves. He didn’t even offer to help. Then, we gave them our clothes to be washed ($3 per wash) and they were returned wet and dirty. Breakfast was extremely basic. They have house rules to take out your own trash. No one cleans your room or replaces your towels.

The property features a very cozy garden. The room is spacious, and there are plenty of surf schools nearby, as well as a fantastic seafood restaurant. The room also includes a small kitchen and some utensils.

The location is at the entrance to the village. It’s a 15-20 minute walk to the busier areas of the village.

A nice property with a comfortable and clean room. The hosts are very welcoming and helpful. The location is around 5min by foot from the beach, placed in a quiet area and around 15min to the city. We would recommend that place!

There were many mosquitoes and you need to pay extra for a cooking station. But it is quite cheap with 2$ a day, so it was fine for us.

Clean and spacious rooms. Friendly hosts. Beatiful garden with lots of animals.

Plastic table on the balcony does not match the otherwise overall high standard.

It’s was great area and host very nice

After more than a week, I can only recommend it. The setting is perfect, quiet, in the center of town but far from the hustle and bustle. The welcome is top-notch, the family takes good care of you and prepares a delicious breakfast. I'll be back!

Magical place! Was all I could ask for! Beautifully ,designed, Quiet and surrounded by trees and the host and staff were absolutely wonderful! So kind and generous ! Will definitely come back❤️

The Owner is

Super nice family hosting this home stay. Listen to their recommendations about trips you can take, did the most awesome tea manufacturing and tasting tour because of them. Room was really nice. Breakfast is simple but good.

Our bathroom was pretty dark and a bit worn.

We had a huge room/bungalow with a kitchen and fridge. Everything was super nice and clean with somewhat modern furniture. The owners were beyond nice and welcoming and cooked a great breakfast. Incredible value for money.

It's a small walk from the main/surfing part of the beach (15 min). But that just makes it super quiet at night, so we actually preferred this way.

We really enjoyed the stay in this place and decided to stay longer then previewed. Vashita is a very caring host, warm and friendly, and you can feel that he really wants you to feel comfortable. He is even personalizing the breakfast according to your taste. The place is amazing: quiet and with a beautiful garden and close to the beaches. Whenever possible, I would love to come back for 3 reasons. Weligama is a very nice town, Lawrence Villa is the perfect place to stay and the owner Vashita is a lovely person. When remembering Sri Lanka, I will always think about this place and the lovely host.

Spacious and comfortable room Friendly family who means well Nice balcony and pretty garden Hot water in shower with good water pressure

They banged on my door almost every day to tell me non-essential information such as the room had been cleaned ( I could tell). Three times this was between 9-11pm and they woke me up. It got to the point where I couldn’t relax enough to nap after surfing because I was already anticipating them waking me up. They shouldn’t be bothering guests this much. It would be better if they had a ‘do not disturb sign’, didn’t knock on guests doors after 9pm and communicated all non-important information via WhatsApp instead. They only cleaned the room twice in my 18 day stay which didn’t seem enough given the heat and the insects. Also they asked guests to take the trash out themselves which seemed a bit cheeky when other places at this price clean the whole room for you every day. They said cash only on booking.com and via WhatsApp so I took out cash, only to find out when I arrived that I could’ve transferred the money instead which would’ve been a lot cheaper for me.

We loved our time at Lawrence Villa. Staff were lovely and accommodating. Thank you!

Very comfortable, clean and spacious studio surrounded by a beautiful garden. It's located in a residential area just out of the busy area. Lawrence, the owner, is a very nice man and he warmly welcomed us with a cup of tea/coffee. The lady who takes care of the property was lovely too. She made us a delicious breakfast and was always available if we needed something. Highly recommended when staying in Weligama!

The family bungalow in the peaceful garden setting was tremendous.. excellent value and only a short walk to the beach and town centre

Lawrence was an amazing host and gave us recommendations for the trip. The breakfast was good, the rooms were spacious and the whole stay was amazing. Looking forward to my stay there next year!

Everything was absolutely amazing, big spacious room, very comfortable beds and very clean bathroom. The traditional breakfast was really tasty and all the people in the property are so helpful and polite. Would come again !!

The host Vasitha and staff are very friendly and helpful. Vasitha even gave us a little tour (and lift) on his way to work:) The accommodation is spacious, clean and has everything you need. Breakfast is great and was different on both days we stayed - which was really nice!

It was a little bit out of the center of Weligama, but that’s something you choose for.

Highly recommended. Beautiful place with large garden, suitable to retreat. Bungalow equipped with all amenities. Beach, restaurants, bars and shopping all within walking distance. Nice and helpful host.

Breakfast (Sri Lankan)

Difficult to get comfortable temperature and a good night's sleep.

Vasitha is an amazing host, super nice and welcoming. The staff are lovely, the room was very clean and spacious. The breakfast was delicious, they have good laundry services. The villa is quite and far from the town's noises. I highly recommend it and will definitely come back again 🥇

Lawrence Villa is of very good quality combined with a great location. The room is very big and you have a separate kitchen to prepare food in. The apartment is very quiet and perfect for someone who is looking for a relaxing stay. The breakfast was very delicious and big consisting of fresh fruit and tasty local dishes. The garden is very beautiful and relaxing with many different kind of trees, flowers and birds. I highly recommend this place and will stay here again when visiting Weligama.

Very calm villa next to the beach, fruit stall and great local restaurants. Huge room with air conditioning amd small kitchen, fridge. Amazing local homemade breakfast. Everything you could need for a short or a long stay. Lawrence is the best host I have met, he will organize you trips anywhere you want to go making it very simple for you. I plan to come back for the last days of my trip!

Everything was great, no complaints.

silence, big garden, breakfast, super nice host, washing machine, large bedrooms with ac and hot water, everything super clean. we absolutely LOVED EVERYTHING

If you're choosing between this place and some others, take this one without thinking. It would be very comfortable for a long-term stay too. A big cozy (and quite) room with a kitchen and a nice view of the private garden

I would have preferred less attention, although a few times it was helpful
