A1 Weligama Hotel & Spa

There was an electrical fire which resulted in an outage, so we had to leave after only two nights with five nights already paid. The staff promised I would get the amount paid for the three nights back via transfer and to come back the next day. I did, everything was closed and stayed close until we left for the airport. The staff never again replied to any messages. The customer service for the hotel that I reached out to said they would take care of it and also stopped replying so I had to contact the booking.com customer service. Terrible service and incredibly dishonest. In addition to that there’s ants in the room and the floorboards are falling apart. Pool is dirty. Do not spend your money here.

Breakfast was delicious and plenty of it. The staff are all very friendly abs helpful.

The location was fantastic, with one of the rooms we booked facing the ocean. The rooms were super clean and spacious.

I wish there was complementary tea/coffee for mornings, which would have been good!

Excellent location and lovely cabin style room with good Air conditioning. Glass front in the room gives an excellent view of the beachfront. Beach is perfect for surfing with lessons offered just in front of the property.

Service was good, staff was very responsive. Food presentation was also good. View was excellent, rooms overlooking the ocean.

Although the place was generally clean, and most of the devices in the room were functional, they could have done a better job with the external appearance. Beautiful large glass "windows" overlooking the ocean was quite dirty hampering the view. The blinds worked, but did not keep the lights out at night.

Top location

Cleanniness, It's not that hard to clean the windows ;-) Breakfast was mediocre. just an egg and a toast

I booked this hotel for 5 nights, but the conditions were so bad that I had to check out after the third night. The room was in very poor shape: parts of the ceiling were taped together and falling down, the floor had visible cracks, the mattress was dirty and the Wi-Fi in my room didn’t work at all — despite me asking the staff several times to fix it. Cleanliness was a serious concern. On my third night, I found a large (about 4 cm) cockroach coming from under the bed. It was truly distressing. Staff came to remove it and placed chemical substances all over the room, which made me feel even more uncomfortable. In the morning, I informed the manager I would be checking out early. He acknowledged the poor state of the room and promised to refund the last two nights. However, for over a month, he kept coming up with excuses and stories about why the refund couldn’t be processed — and, of course, the money was never returned. On top of all this, there was constant loud music from a neighboring café and the lobby downstairs. My room's wall was adjacent to the café and the noise made it nearly impossible to rest. If you want to enjoy your vacation, I strongly recommend avoiding this hotel. It was one of the most unpleasant and stressful stays I’ve had.

The hotel is located across the road from the sea and numerous surf schools. On the beach, you can buy coconuts and relax in comfort. Surprisingly, the proximity to the road did not disturb our sleep, and a comfortable temperature in the room can be maintained with the air conditioner and fan. The restaurant on the ground floor takes care of dining needs, and hotel guests receive a discount on the entire menu. The family room is very spacious. It can accommodate a family of four or even five if young children sleep with their parents—the bed is incredibly large. Unlike most hotels in Sri Lanka, the shower is equipped with a curtain. A small detail, but the absence of puddles on the floor makes washing much more comfortable.
