The Native Weligama

Location and cleansing. Complementary coffee and clean kitchen.

Some details at the room we stayed such as the tap on the sink being broken and moving side to side and the sink was flooding. The fan needs a repair since makes lot of noise. The bathroom door is installed the other way around so you cannot close it from the inside.

Perfect place if you will serf especially) The room is simple but has everything for your comfort. Especially areas for clothes were excellent. We love sharing kitchen, you can find even ice, tea and coffee there.

We had scooter and location was not a problem for us. But breakfast can be more hearty

This place has soul. I like every single detail. It was nice and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious. Staff was really kind and helpful. I really like that owner send me messages with all detail, numbers of tuk tuk drivera, places when I can to go. It was helpful.

The location was little bit scary at night.

Beautiful place! Super clean, nice location, comfortable beds and nice staff. Breakfast was great too. Would definitely recommend.

Only small comment: I was charged way too much for laundry. Worth walking a few streets to find a cheaper place.

Very clean and simple, and affordable Breakfast was lovely too!

Everything was so simple and nice no complaints!

Super clean, comfortable, warm shower with good water pressure. The host was responsive through WhatsApp. Use of the kitchen was also a big plus. We were the only ones staying at the time (May 2024), and it felt lovely and private.

Unfortunately, our experience of this property was ruined by the staff who came in the morning to clean and do breakfast. One of the cleaners was extremely professional, whilst the other one was sat on her phone, scrolling TikTok really loudly on the balcony and right outside our room from 8:30-11am, stopping only to make us breakfast. We felt she was rushing us to check-out, keeping an eye on our every move, even following me to the top floor where I’d hung my clothes to dry. Payment was also an issue, we thought payment was handled through booking.com as its stated when booking: ‘You will be charged a prepayment of the total price at any time’. We were then told to pay the ladies who came in the morning, which was fine as we had cash on us. However, the ladies had no change, which meant us having to go to a shop to get the right change. We had a TukTuk which made this less of a hassle. Please can you update your payment policy on booking.com to make the cash only clearer for guests.

The aesthetic, the kitchen, the breakfast, the outside tables, the spacious desk, a ton of small details added that made us feel so at home.

Bathroom could do with a mat as it’s very slippy when wet haha!
