De ligging was heel fijn. Het was heel schoon. Het bed was heel goed!
Very comfortable and close to the beach and good restaurants. Went for 1 night, ended up staying 4. Value for money.
We liked everything about the property. Everything was really clean and even though the location is quite central it is super quiet! Our host and the staff are super super friendly and kind, and helpful with literally anything that came up during our stay! We booked our stay for two nights but ended up staying 4 nights because we loved it here! We were also able to rent a scooter with our host, which was super practical :) We will definitely come back! Thanks a lot
Fast alles war top!
Für Off-Season war die Lage nicht perfekt: Schöne Kaffees und Surfschulen sind ca. 20 min Fußweg entfernt.
Sauber, netter Gastgeber, top Orga mit Roller usw. Nähe zum Strand.
Frühstück wäre schön gewesen, und Kaffee
We had a great time here. I was so close to everything and the beach is right across the road. The host and staff were very helpful and friendly.
Le calme, la propreté, l’emplacement
I liked the room and the courteous manager. It was a cozy stay with a fancy shower :)
The road leading up to the place. Pick me found it difficult to reach and during rain it was a little problematic to walk on to go outside onto the main road.
Everything was perfect. The location was close to all the beautiful beaches. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was absolutely beautiful. The washrooms were excellent. They have done really amazing work with the lighting. If you want to have the best experience, be sure to book the top floor
Family owned hotel very close to the beach. Rooms are spacious, clean and well maintained. Owners are living there as well and are ready to fulfill your every request. They provided quality laundry service for us(the best over 2 months travel), have boards and scooters for rent cheaper than elsewhere. It is so good that we decided to extend our stay there by several nights.
Heerlijk verblijf gehad in een prettige kamer.! Het contact was prettig en iedereen was erg vriendelijk. Ontbijt was heerlijk en uitgebreid.
Habe abends spontan gebucht, konnte kurz darauf einchecken und wurde sehr herzlich begrüßt. Das Zimmer hatte ein großes bequemes Bett und war sehr sauber! Es gibt ein kleines Café/Restaurant auf der Dachterrasse, das ich allerdings nicht genutzt habe.
- sauber - grosse und schöne Zimmer - nette und hilfsbereite Gastgeber - Scooter Verleih direkt vor Ort
Top Kaffee top Frühstück Inhaber ist vor Ort und hilft tatkräftig mit.
Matratzen sind viel zu weich Schlafkomfort tief! Nur Barzahlung möglich jedoch bei der Buchung erwähnt.
Incredibly charming guesthouse with extremely friendly and helpful owners. Make sure to try their iced coffee in the morning - it's delicious!
The rooms are big and clean. The shower is amazing. Coffee and breakfast are great.
The location is not accessible to cars as it is very small dirt road.
It is situated on a small road right next to the beach, it is quiet and peaceful here. The rooms are beautiful, and spacious. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I also had the breakfast there one morning which was very generous and good. The shower is really big, powerful, and hot.
Все понравилось. Чистота номера, душевные хозяева, очень вкусные завтраки. Недалеко от моря, рядом рыбный рынок и ресторан, кафе, рестораны и магазинчики в пешей доступности.
Нет такого
L'allotjament està molt ben ubicat, en una zona tranquil·la a 10 minuts del centre de Weligama caminant. El propietari te un petit cafè d'especialitat molt bo. La dutxa és immillorable i l'habitació és comoda per una parella.
Потрясающий вид из панорамного окна, очень сытные завтраки
Great service, clean, comfortable and in general good room.
Wunderschönes Zimmer, sehr sauber und toll ausgestattet. Zudem ein sehr hilfsbereiter und sympathischer Besitzer, der einem einen sehr leckeren Bohnenkaffee auf der Dachterrasse zubereitet! Absolut zu empfehlen!
Spacious rooms. Very clean. Greeted by the owner who was around at any point we needed him. About a 20 min walk from the surf schools but that suited us.
WiFi only worked in one room but didn’t matter as we all had esims.
We loved the owners and how comfy the bed was!!
Nothing to dislike
Потрясающий отель! Хозяин и его семья просто замечательные люди, как будто к родственникам в гости приехали, грустно было уезжать! Отличное расположение, до пляжа две минуты, при этом отдален от дороги и не слышно шума. Номер с хорошим ремонтом, брали люкс с классным видом на сад, утром приходили обезьяны, очень круто! Все удобства в номере есть и все работало отлично. Хозяин заказывал нам трансфер из аэропорта и обратно, сдал нам в аренду мопед и так же можно было постирать вещи, огромная ему благодарность 🙏🏻 Когда приедем снова в Велигаму, обязательно остановимся здесь ❤️
Habitaciones muy nuevas, grandes, limpias y cómodas. El aire acondicionado y el wifi funcionan muy bien Tuvimos buen recibimiento y andando podíamos ir a las principipales ubicaciones
Camere spaziose e Pulite Posizione Ottima Il proprietario gentile e accogliente pronto a risolvere qualsiasi richiesta!
The greeting and help from the owner , was humble and gave good directions Room was good for the price
The parking was an issue but the property owner assisted with parking no matter the time
ruhig, gross, komfortabel , sauber
leider wussten wir nicht, dass es noch ein rooftop cafe gibt - hättem wir sonst besucht:)
Very large room..comfy bed..owners very very helpful..walking distance to the beach..mirrisa beach you need a tick tuk..rooftop bar..I would recommend this place
I wouldn’t say it’s a complain..the sign board by the road could have been bigger and more visible..it’s hard to find at night times
Thank you for staying at your hotel. We really liked everything. If we come here, we will come back to you. Thank you for renting a bike. I want to note the delicious breakfasts - both drinks and the food itself - everything is fresh and tasty. The portions are large, we didn't even eat everything. The owner of the hotel is a nice man, he solved any problems, did not bother us during our stay, and did the cleaning. We are very happy! Thank you!
All is good
We had an incredible stay at this hotel! The owner is absolutely amazing—he speaks excellent English, is available 24/7, and is always ready to help with any issue. His hospitality truly made our trip unforgettable. The location is perfect—just **2 minutes from the beach**! The rooms are **clean, comfortable, and well-equipped** with a **powerful AC and a ceiling fan** that worked perfectly. The **bed was so soft**—we fell asleep instantly every night! The **on-site restaurant** serves **delicious food and great coffee**—we enjoyed every meal. We were **extremely satisfied** with our stay and will **definitely come back**! Highly recommend this place to everyone. **Thank you for such a wonderful experience!** 😊
Everything was cool.
This was the best hotel during our entire trip in Sri Lanka. The room was big, clean, bright, air conditioning worked very well and super comfortable bed, we finally got a good night's sleep 🙂 there was a balcony we spent evenings on. The bathroom is modern, good hot water pressure. And great wifi which is rare in Sri Lanka. Many thanks to the owner for his kindness and hospitality, we will return to this hotel on our next trip ✨
A lovely, brand new, spacious room with modern bathroom-the best we have stayed in Sri Lanka. Breakfast was amazing. Owners are very nice and nothing seems to be a trouble for them. Higly reccomended!
Nothing.
Lovely modern and comfortable. Down a quiet road but close to the seafront and lots of lovely resturants. We would definitely return.
Great room, very nice and helpfull host Chinthaka. We had a wonderful time at Temple Tree.
The room was absolutely beautiful, and the bathroom was large and clean. The guesthouse is just around the corner from the beach, so it is easy to go for a quick swim. Upon check-in, we were greeted with a fresh king coconut. All the amenities (A/C, wifi, shower) worked great. The owner was very kind, he even arranged to drive us to Udawalawe.
The area was surrounded by trees, making it a perfect spot to sit outside and enjoy nature. The host was attentive, ensuring we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The room was bright and well-ventilated, with air conditioning for added comfort. The host even arranged a taxi for us to the airport. The price was affordable and the vehicle was very comfortable compared to what is available in the app. The breakfast was amazing
The location is quite far from the city center, and the nearest beach to the hotel is not recommended due to its poor condition and noticeable trash from fishing boats. Bikes are essential if you plan to explore the area efficiently.
Beautiful modern accommodation with friendly helpful staff. It was new and westernised with a super comfortable bed and great AC. Quiet backwater but very close to the beach. We'd certainly return
Nothing
We really recommend staying in Temple Tree resort. Staff was amazing and very friendly. Room was clean and the AC worked perfectly. Best place to stay, nothing bad to say.
- very nice room -super friendly and helpful owner -2mins to the beach -awesome breakfast
-poor fish in very small tanks
Amazing breakfasts, large, varied, made by the owner's wife. Rooms cozy and comfortable.
Really kind and cute Host. Breakfast was very good, very communicative and a really chilled Place.
Cosy, comfortable and a very pleasant stay. Bed was large and comfortable, hot shower and good amenities. Kettle and tea in the room. Air con was good too. Very beautiful garden area at the front with fish and a terrapin! Staff were very helpful and friendly.
Everything was good. Little bit of a walk from town but close enough to walk.
The place was very quiet and peaceful! Rooms were clean and comfortable with all basic amenities. The rooftop cafe was a nice place to hangout with a cup of freshly brewed coffee or fruit juice. Location is close to most hotspots in weligama and you can easily get around to places within 2km radius The host + staff members were very helpful and kind. They made sure our stay was peaceful and comfortable. Would definitely recommend this place for a getaway.
The place is in a very quiet place 2 minutes walk to the sea and the fish market. The owners are very nice. I arrived at 7 am and got the room without any problem.
A small hotel with very kind and helpful staff located close to the surfing beach. Great breakfast!
The upper bedroom was great but the bedroom on the bottom floor could use some extra ventilation as it smelled a bit musty.
The staff were so welcoming and helpful, the room was comfy. Location was good for visiting weligama
The bed was very comfortable. The outdoor area of the hotel is dirty and very run down. There was air-con water dripping all over the staircase to my hotel room and hence me. The inside of the room was ok but the outside felt dismal. The hotel is at the end of a dirt road that floods in the rain and has no lighting. I got muddy and it was unsafe as a female traveller. One of the staff was not appropriate with me as a single woman. The owner was nice. The bathroom window didnt open so the bathroom smelled bad despite being nicely renovated. There was a water-pressure pump used to keep the water pressure in the bathroom flowing to have a shower but it was incredible noisy and I couldnt sleep at night. I had to ask the owner to turn it off, which he did but then he complained to me because "I made the water pressure lower". I would not recommend this place as a female solo traveller.
Brilliant friendly host, great breakfast and a comfy & clean room. Quiet location close to the beach and shops.
Nothing!
Exceptional stay - the most comfortable bed and sheets I have slept in for many months travelling! So cosy, great AC, wonderful staff, tea and coffee available, really big spacious room, lovely clean bathroom with great shower. Absolutely would return 10/10. Please book this place for your stay in Weligama!
Nothing
Clean and comfortable compact room just across the road from the beach. Good AC, fridge, kettle and tea and coffee in room. Very late check in provided with no hassle. Onsite cafe has good coffee and food.
Room was clean and location was great, near to beach and restaurants.
We stayed at Temple Tree for one week and it was a very pleasant stay. The accomodation is located on a quiet street near the main road of Weligama. The rooms were small but cute and clean. The beds were extremely comfortable and we even had warm water. All in all was a wonderful stay in Weligama!
The rooms are spacious.
There is no cleaning service at all - and we stayed for 4 nights. We had to buy toilet paper by ourselves. The location is not too good and you need to walk about 20mins to everywhere. Also, they offer very over price laundry and taxi service. And the WORST part - the manager was extremely disrespectful over WhatsApp after we left the property. He texted me that he can’t get a good rate for the bills I gave him because it’s the old dollars bills - which he was the one who took the bills from me itself. He asked for me to transfer him more money to his bank account. I refused and said that the money is worth for me exactly the same no matter what kind of bill and I don’t want to lose money - after that he start to send super disrespectful and racist messages.
Kind owners.
The location is great, mattress is comfy, owner is nice guy, breakfast was good but too much volume , The coffee is the best one I had in this country .
Maybe because high humidity by the ocean, room smells a little musty sometimes
The place offers low price and the host was very kind, communicative and attentive. I was quite amazed that even though my room was on the ground floor, there weren't any ants or other insects in the room so the place is managed very well. I was provided with a hairdryer in the room after requesting even though it wasn't listed on the booking which was very nice. The place was equipped with very powerful aircon and a ceiling fan which were both life saviours after coming back from the heat.
The bathroom was quite small and the shower was right next to the toilet. After taking a shower, the toilet was wet and the whole floor was wet which meant it was hard to walk and slip. Toiletries was a single bar of soap, nothing else. Towels were pretty old and the whole property was getting renovated so it was pretty loud during the day. Location on the map looks great, but the road leading to the property gets flooded all the time which means that you end up walking in mud puddles to get to the place. There was a mini fridge in the room, but it was very outdated. Overall, it was a nice stay, but there is definitely room for improvement.
Amazing location, owners were lovely- hope to go back soon!
Nothing
No complaints, would stay here again
Clean and spacious room. The bed was super comfy. The host was very attentive and made us feel very welcome.
Very friendly staff. Clean place.
Location was a little bit far from everything. Not much light in the rooms on the ground floor.
Great, clean & welcoming property. Recommend.
Temple tree is wonderful place to stay in. Room is spacious, good bed linen, very cosy. I like the natural light, big windows. It truly feels like hosts want to make your stay special!
All good
Excellent location, very quiet, friendly host.
Great value for money! Very clean room and spacious. The owner is really nice and helpful, the best we've met on our 2 weeks trip in Sri Lanka.
The owners also live on the property and are very helpful and pleasant. We enjoyed both the room inside and having a table to work outside. It's conveniently close to the beach (although not suitable for swimming) and fish cooking points Coffee, tea, water, mini fridge, AC. Great modern room!
Some little things to consider: Breakfasts are very big, so they might not be the best value for money, depending on your taste. You can book without breakfast and add it later. The beach near the place (and in the city overall) is not good for swimming or relaxing, so you may need to walk around 35 minutes or even take a bus to Mirissa. However, it's good and popular for beginner surfers. Mosquitoes are very active for a couple of hours in the evening, so be prepared.
Frendly host, help with arranging transportation for a good price. High quality rooms.
Chinthakka is an amazing host, super smiley and accommodating and made us feel at home. Great little quiet road, 5 min walk from the beach.
Main area of Weligama is about 25 min walk along a main busy road, but no problem if you walk along the beach or get a bike / Tuk Tuk
Loved everything during our stay, from the very warm welcome, amazing breakfasts to the very comfortable room. Liked the location, with a few cute restaurants and coworkspace minutes walking away, a bit further from the busy main streets. Saw many birds and even a monkey from the terrace. Nice 15min walk over the (bit dirty unfortunately) beach to the main beginner surfspot. Other beaches and towns easily reachable by bus or tuktuk.
