Villa Hillcrest Weligama

• The room was very impressive, spacious, and comfortable. • The private pool was a big highlight. • The shower area was also very nice. • The staff was kind and helpful. • Communication via WhatsApp was efficient and responsive.

• There are gaps near the door that are not sealed, so many insects and spiders get into the room. • Hot water lasts only about 5 minutes, and even after I reported it, the issue was not fixed. • There were loud noises at night from animals walking on the roof. • The hotel is very remote and difficult to reach, and the signage is unclear (especially at night). • Tuk-tuk drivers usually do not know how to get there. • Even when a tuk-tuk arrives, it often struggles to climb the long steep road, so we had to walk uphill. • Access to the villa is not properly arranged. • There is not enough privacy in the pool area, and people can see in from different directions. • The front desk is not available late at night. • Tuk-tuks booked through the hotel are much more expensive, and guests end up paying more because the location is remote and unfamiliar to drivers.

Einfach eine Oase! Die Anlage ist wunderschön gelegen und ein teil der Unterkünfte in Höhe der Baumkronen gebaut, nur vom Bett aus offen Vögel und Glühwürmchen beobachtet werden können- ein Traum. Auch das Personal und das Essen lässt keine Wünsche offen, wir würden sofort wieder hier logieren.

The location on the hill - with a great view in the pool area.

The staff were responsive on WhatsApp and consistently polite in person. However, their level of training did not meet expectations. The “tree house” finishes were average at best, with noticeable issues in workmanship and detailing.

It has a very nice view and the pool was decent .

There was supposed to be a spa but there is nothing also the facilities are way less than a 5 star rating, I don’t know how this got 5 stars. The shower was in the room with a toilet covered only by a curtain and there wasn’t even hot water! In the night it’s impossible to eat outside as the lights attract thousands of moths an mosquitos, the room didn’t have mosquito protection. Overall very basic I expected more.

Nice pool and the dogs were gorgeous.

The view from the room is completely restricted surrounding trees, and the view from the pool restricted by the building in front so you can’t actually see any of the lovely countryside. The hill to get up to the property is super steep so you’ll need a car or a tuktuk with a good engine if you have big bags. The food was of poor quality and expensive, we had room service on one of the evenings and after asking them to clear the plates twice so that insects and vermin didn’t come for it, they were still there in the morning! The room itself is of very poor quality, curtains super thin and don’t give any privacy, the carpet was wet around the bathroom (no idea why carpet was used) and the shower was broken. There were loads of holes in the bed sheets and nowhere comfortable to sit either. Just a completely unwelcoming place to stay with very cheap finishes everywhere. Staff were uninterested, slow and did a lot of giggling between themselves. Water wasn’t topped up in the room - I could go on. For just under £100 a night we could have stayed for a week in a hostel of the same standard. Money wasted here.

Le personnel est vraiment top ainsi que la nourriture de qualité. La piscine et la vue des chambres Deluxe sur la nature sont très agréables (ne vous attendez pas à un vue avec les chambres qui ne sont pas Deluxe ou villa car elles donnent principalement sur deux arbres). La literie est de qualité et très confortable.

Les WC séparé seulement par un rideau dans les chambres non Deluxe ce qui n'est pas idéal quand on est deux... Les chambres perchées sont sur des structures métalliques que l'on sent bouger quand on se déplace dans la chambre. Le manque d'intimité des chambres Deluxe desquelles on entend les voisins discuter et on voit les voisins bronzer à la piscine quand on est sur le balcon. Les portes extérieures de notre chambre Deluxe (balcon et entrée) ne fermaient pas complètement et pouvaient laisser passer des moustiques ou autres insectes. Ces détails accumulés nuisent au rapport qualité/prix. Avec un prix moins chers à la nuitée on aurait été moins exigeant.

De prachtige locatie en de aardige eigenaar

Je kon niet alles kiezen van de menukaart maar het eten was verder prima
