Excellent stay! The room is spacious and luminous. Close to buses, beaches, etc. Meals are delicious, home prepared with care. Bouddika is very helpful and interesting. He will do everything to help and show you around. Definitely an excellent place to stay for solo travelers, couples, families, etc. High quality. I will be back for sure! Thank you for having made my last days in Sri Lanka so special.
When we arrived there was a misunderstanding about the number of people in the booking. That is Ctrip order goes through ******* then to the hotel and ******* didn't mention the kids so we ended up in a small room. Fortunately, the owner worked her magic and we were able to move to a bigger room the second day.
The hotel is located in a quiet beach, far from the touristic cities. We thought we would be close to Marissa but it was still a 30 min tuktuk drive away. In the end, we didn't like Marissa, so staying in Matara was a great choice. The beach is a paradise for surfers of all levels. We basically went everyday with my daughter of 8, while our baby of 1 could play in the sand.
The accommodation was more than on, but what makes this hotel a gem is the staff. They were very friendly, always ready to help. Our baby daughter was treated like their own kid. The kitchen tries to be as sustainable as possible so to avoid waste you have to order your dinner in the afternoon which was sometimes a bother as we like to plan on the go. But the food was very good and the quantity plenty. We had too much food at breakfast so we asked usually only to have two portions for our family of 4.
Sometimes, we'd asked for a change on the menu, swap chicken for shrimps and the cook would agree.
We had the NY's eve dinner there and it was excellent.
EErik KarlI stayed here for a total of 5 nights. The hotel is walking distance to the main road and only short tuk tuk drive to all the beach restaurants and bars. The owner was very friendly. The room itself was very basic and has everything one could need. This was decent place to stay for asking price!
ผผู้เข้าพักМини гостиница с очень приятной семейной парой менеджеров. Номера просторные, с кондиционером и вентилятором, большими душевыми комнатами. На втором этаже есть балконы.Вкусный завтрак, за 14 дней повторений не было. Расположена на горке, поэтому с океана всегда лёгкий бриз. Немного на удалении от центра, поэтому тихо, бегают обезьяны и павлины. В пешей доступности три пляжа с разной инфраструктурой, две семейных кафешки с местной домашней кухней и соками. Нам очень понравилось.
ผผู้เข้าพักHotel is very comfortable and client oriented. We are happy to stay there. Thank you very much for beautiful holiday and hospitality. Especially I should mention the size and delicious of breakfasts. A lots of thanks to the cook team
NNat who travelsEven before check in the team had reached out to ensure smooth arrival, they have walked me to show around and were very welcoming.
I loved the bath outside, but take note the balcony can be seen from the neighbours and the downstairs.
Taxi’s are a problem in Weligama but Tuk tuk always waited downstairs.
ผผู้เข้าพักOutpost is really good choice for Weligama trip during the season. Next to the quiet part of thr beach, tasty (but not cheap) cafe, comfortable rooms and very helpfull staff, strong wifi.
But for offseason could be a bit offsided. No cafe around, nothing on the beach, need to walk to any store or activity.
Several points to make your stay more comfortable:
1. Roomservice upon request
2. In beachfront rooms the beds are not fixed to tables behind them (as you see on foto). So be carefull, it moves =)
3. Ask about foot shower location in front of the hotel. It's a bit hidden.
ผผู้ใช้ไม่ระบุชื่อMy wife and I stayed here during our vacation in Sri Lanka, choosing it because of the high Google ratings. The location really impressed us. The hotel is literally a step away from the beach and less than five minutes’ walk to town, which made it very convenient. Sitting on the balcony overlooking the beach and listening to the waves was easily the best part of the stay.
The lobby was simple but acceptable, and there is a seafood restaurant right next to the hotel.
At check-in, there was a small hiccup. I booked through Trip.com, but they couldn’t find my booking at first. After about ten minutes, they managed to sort it out and confirmed that the booking came via Agoda. The receptionists were friendly and welcoming, even offering us a drink on arrival.
Our room on the second floor had a great view of the sea. The shower had good water pressure, although the bathroom could use better ventilation. The toiletries seemed diluted, so we ended up using our own.
Unfortunately, the air conditioning became a real problem. It leaked so badly that the room flooded twice, soaking my shoes. Despite my request for a pail to manage the water, they initially only gave floor mats, which was very frustrating. By the time they finally sent a pail, it was too late. We barely slept that night because of the constant dripping sound.
Overall, the location and friendliness of the staff were strong points, but the poor handling of the air conditioning issue really spoiled our experience.
