If you need hot water, in Weligama you can try to grab a place in a hotel on the front page, by the ocean. In general, this is a problem for the entire island; even where there are heaters, they often fail. It's not icy, just cool. Personally, it didn’t bother me, but you can try installing a heater. Internet is the problem of the island if there is no fiber optic (which is rather rare). You'll think about Dialogue for 50 gigs at the airport and don't think about it. You can try to advise fixing the router at home. This is already a given. They wrote about the construction in the comments. It’s true that it’s nearby, but when I was there, there were no jobs. At night, for a couple of hours, all sorts of celebrations took place in the distance (but again, the specifics of the island), you have to wear headphones. But even with all this, it is a great place to live in Weligama!
The description and photographs correspond to reality, with the exception of small details. In the main part of the house there are 2 rooms and it turns out to be a shared kitchen, but this didn’t bother me (it’s just not perceived that way from the description), there is also a second part of the house, with its own kitchen, which is now being prepared for guests. One of the rooms is rented for a long time by cool guys who have already made and continue to make a huge contribution to the improvement of this place, for which many thanks to them! That’s why it’s very cozy there, I really enjoyed it. Sam is a very caring and hospitable host! In general, advice, make an objective analysis with a comment, since someone might have been more or less lucky with something during one or another rental period, this is normal. But, definitely, this is one of the best options in Weligama!

Germany7 reviews3 helpful votes“simple homestay with lush garden and fantastic hospitality”The rooms are simple but very clean and for the price exceptionally well equipped (own bathroom, towels, ..) Sam is a fantastic host and made us so so welcome. He did everything in his power to make us feel at home. The house is tucked away from the main road and therefore super quiet. The garden hosts many animals and it almost feels like sleeping in the jungle. I would recommend renting a scooter to get around easily but the beach is also in walking distance.

Belgium1 review“Holiday feeling at home with access to nice beach and shops.”The house had its own charm even if it is very simple. Minimalistic but everything we needed to cook was there. Everything works, bathroom also we liked. A whole garden for yourself. Little terrasse in front of the house. Its quiet and a little away from road and city. The owner lend us his bicycle and we loved to go around with it. Very cute owners. Welcomed us with a juice and cookies. Home feeling and not touristic, the owner always arranged things for us when we needed it, even water. The bread tuk-tuk delivery comes in the morning to deliver bread right at your doorstep. Thanks a lot!
