    Air con was amazing, it was a bit faulty one day but the staff got on it straight away and it was fixed by the afternoon. Rooms were a good size and bed was comfy. Rooms had a kettle. Shower was nice and water pressure was good. Staff were very friendly and nice. They made a fantastic buffet style breakfast which we would recommend getting, good value for money. The stay is a bit further back from the main town, which is good for a quieter stay, but does mean a bit of a longer walk to the beach and restaurants (15 min walk to the beach, there are some really good and cheap restaurants nearby just over the bridge). The stay itself is nice with a big tree growing in the middle and nice garden.

    Breakfast was only 9-11 and could be improved a bit, maybe with some sweet options and well and dosa.

    The room was quite big, very very nice bathroom, clean and directly on the garden. I was able to rent a scooter quite cheap directly there which was very convenient. I liked the location as it was a perfect base for surfing and also exploring the nearby beaches.

    The wifi was a bit on and off but overall excellent value for money and a lovely place to stay.

    Really beautiful hotel surrounded by nature and with a tree in the middle! The room was nicely decorated and very clean we loved our stay here. Good location, only a small walk to shops and weligama bay. You also cross a really pretty river to get there. Tuktuks are also available everywhere if you didn’t want to walk.

    Janaka is a super nice and helpful host ! The place is quiet and comfortable yet close by everything you need. Rooms are simple but they’ve got all the necessary. Def one of the best places money/value I found in Sri Lanka.

    I stayed at Onilwe Resort Weligama for three nights and enjoyed every second! Although the hotel is not directly on the beach, it is immersed in a quiet, green and peaceful area only about 10-15 minutes to the sea by walk, or a few minutes by tuktuk or bike. The rooms are simple but elegant and recently renovated, air conditioned, and the beds very comfortable. The breakfast, which you can chose to have as continental or srilankan, is delicious and one of the best I have had. Laundry washing and drying service is available to guests within same day. Wifi connection is stable and fast, and both the rooms and common areas are equipped with a table in case you need to work. There is the possibility to rent a bike. Finally, but not for importance, the host is really a lovely and kind person: very kind and helpful, but also always never pressuring and very discrete. If in Weligama, I would book here again.

    young couple or solo traveler ideal stay

    like every where in Sri lanka owners of accomadatons are struglling so fixuture and fitting can seem tiny bit broken. Also you need remember there was importation ban by the goverment so it hard to replace things if they get damaged. In my view this place is value for money . There nothing i did not like.

    I stayed here in low season. The owner could not do enough for me. The room are on suite and have full A/C and the opition to hang mosquitio net. This building is only built in the 5 years and so is modern and new and clean.The wifi is good .The owner has also lived abroad and understands the needs of travelers. It place is relatively close to town but in quite area.If your a couple or solo traveler it prefect place to stay. The owner also is in the know to set you up with a scooter and other needs. I stayed longer then expected... thanks for great stay

    The towels could be cleaner

    The place itself is really nice, green, quiet. The room was equipped with a desk, a kettle and a hair dryer. There was a minor inconvenience caused by the construction works upstairs and I asked to change my room for it was impossible to sleep with that noise. The host agreed and gave a room downstairs which was even better.

    The host Janaka was extremely welcoming and helpful. Not only he provided the breakfast, which was really good (fruit plate, eggs/omelet, sandwiches, coffee/tee), he also made us shashlik and grilled fish. The room had air-conditioning and hot water at all times, except when there were power cuts, but usually it did not last more than a couple of hours. In general the place has an exceptional quality to price ratio.

    Onilwe is a small, cozy and well-designed resort located in a quiet place a bit far from tourists crowds, newertheless it is in a walking distance to the beach, nearby shops and restaurants. The room was comfy enough with good AC, good water pressure in shower and good Wi-Fi. Yummy breakfast (choice of continental, Sri-Lankan etc) for just a bit addition to the room rate. Overall, with no doubt the spot has one of the best money/value ratio in Weligama. For last but not least, the Onilwe’s owner Janaka is a very nice and openminded dude doing his best to help guests with all their needs.
