Twenty-Two Weligambay

If you're considering booking this hotel, be sure to confirm which room and wing you'll be staying in before making a reservation. The hotel has recently opened another section called "Wing B," which houses older, substandard rooms. These rooms are far from the quality you'd expect—they feature outdated furniture, a toilet fan window that isn’t tinted (allowing people to see inside at night), and an overall unkempt condition. The most disappointing aspect was that the general manager, Mr. Manoj, failed to inform us that our rooms were in this older wing. We were charged the same rate as the newer rooms, a fact we only discovered after check-in. When we raised this issue and requested a partial refund, we were met with unprofessional and dismissive behavior from the manager. His approach to addressing our concerns was both rude and unhelpful. After some back and forth, we were granted a partial refund.However, this doesn’t change the fact that the rooms in the old wing don’t justify their price. Our room smelled unpleasant, and the bathroom window overlooked other rooms and a staircase, completely compromising our privacy. It’s frustrating to feel scammed and let down by the management’s lack of transparency and poor handling of guest complaints. I would strongly advise future guests to proceed with caution and ensure clarity about what you’re paying for. This experience was disappointing, to say the least.

22 Weligambay Hotel was the best choice of the hotel. Our family was staying there for one week, and all of us really enjoyed the time. One of the main positive aspects were staff of the hotel. Always greeted guests with a smile and wanted to help them in any chase. Moreover, room cleaning was amazing! As you come out of the hotel’s territory a beautiful wide beach and ocean opens to your eyes. For the fans of surf there are a lot of surfing schools. Waves are constant and good for the beginners! Sudda’s surf school - the best place with incredible instructors! The beach itself is clean, long (3,5 km) and good for walks. I highly recommend to visit this place, you will definitely enjoy!

Nice place, nice people. Right by the sea. Good breakfast. Room was large, clean and comfortable with a lovely sea view. Not too many rooms so did not feel crowded by the pool. Selection of cocktails available. Overall a good experience, would stay again.

Spent two nights at this hotel. An amazing place to stay and relax with beautiful virws. Our room is overlooking the pool and beach. Such a relaxing views and great experience. Room are well cleaned and maintained. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful location by the ocean. Our room was kindly upgraded to ocean view and it was the best hotel view I’ve seen for a long time. I believe the windows have been built extra large to let in the view. The room also had a balcony. Nice and clean and very convenient. Higiene could be better around the pool area (sunbeds and towels). The big surprise was dinner, as the order was taken on check-in and it was cooked to order at the preferred time. It was by far the best meal we’ve had in Sri Lanka this week: Best chef-prepared food Best table service Best room view Nice staff, young people being trained. Recommended!

My 2 girls and I thoroughly enjoyed our 2-nights! Not only did we have the most beautiful view over the ocean, but the staff was very accommodating. They brought us delicious, well-presented dinners to our room early, so the kids could sleep.
