😠 The big thing was a sort of harrassment by the staff. I was hit up by staff for scooter rental, surf lessons then taxi, then asked directly for tips.

    The big thing was a sort of harrassment by the staff. I was hit up by staff for scooter rental, surf lessons then taxi, then asked directly for tips. I felt uneasy there not scared for my safety but not a relaxing stay. Their linens had debris like several stray hairs too which made me wonder how they washed the laundry. The security measures included CCTV no perimeter fence no dedicated guard, bars on Windows flimsy entry door lock.

    Double booked because according to the hotel stuff “the other guest decided to stay one more night”. What’s the point of booking then? That said, we had to move to another hotel and didn’t stay here. Location is perfect but the hotel itself looked outdated.

    I got surfing 🏄‍♀️ classes from them. The instructor is quite knowledged, and I was able to stand on the board from the first session.

    (Translated by Google) This hotel is located directly on the beach of Weligama. The personnel is very friendly and courteous. Our room was clean and simply furnished. The served breakfast is delicious and there is something for every taste. Other food is good and relatively cheap. The beach in front of the hotel is perfect for swimming and surfing. Conveniently, a surf school is right in with the hotel grounds. (Original) Dieses Hotel liegt direkt am Strand von Weligama. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Unser Zimmer war sauber und schlicht ausgestattet. Das aufgetischte Frühstück ist sehr lecker und für jeden Geschmack ist etwas dabei. Sonstige Speisen sind auch gut und relativ günstig. Der Strand direkt vor dem Hotel ist perfekt zum Baden und Surfen geeignet. Praktischerweise ist eine Surf Schule direkt mit auf dem Hotelgelände.

    AVOID on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, when throbbing eurotrash house music from the hotel next door will fill your room and your head. We left a day early because of it. Staff was friendly, though they pushed overpriced transportation & tour services...

    Stayed here three nights in November 2016. Room (with air conditioning) was very spacious and clean for reasonable rates. Location was great and right on the beach. Staff was friendly, but tried to convince you to use specific transportation services....but that's typical.

    Cockroach running all over face and body. Unhygienic and dirty room, very unhappy with stay. Stay away from this place.

  • 1/5 Nik M. 6 years ago on Google
    Worst expirience in Sri Lanka! The burger patty was ridiculously tiny and the place is overpriced. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone!

  • 3/5 Catherine P. 6 years ago on Google
    Nice room but maybe a bit expensive for it. The wifi is only in lobby and hotel is just next to W15 which play loud music all day. If you want some peace and quiet, not the place !

    Good beach hotel with nice food and service, unfortunately too close to the horrible W15 hotel that plays loud music all day long and ruins the authenticity of the area

  • 5/5 Bruno G. 2 years ago on Google
    Samaru Beach Hotel is in the best location directly in the middle of the waveriding beach. Very friendly and helpful staff. The Deluxe Room is spacious and offers everything you need. Cleanliness complies with EU standard. Scooter or taxi, everything is organized by the boss or reception without having to deal with third-party providers. The sky bed is large and comfortable with perfect mosquito net.

    This is an amazing place to stay, to relax by the beach and to get surf lessons! The staff is super kind, the owner Arun is always willing to help in the kindest way. The rooms are clean, spacious and has hot water.

    We did not stay here, but spend days on sun beds and enjoyed food and drinks prepared by Ima. He was very nice, frie dly and made best coffee making sure we were taken care of.

  • 5/5 Rishan Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Right on the Weligama bay beach. One of the hotspots for surfing. It is completely safe to bathe here.

  • 3/5 Doreen M. 4 months ago on Google
    Location is fantastic because it’s right on the beach. Our rooms 9 and 10 were ground floor rooms with one facing the sea. So great location. Rooms were a good size with nice layout. Room 9 had ant infestation coming from window down to the toilet bowl as seen in pictures and we had to get the linen changed because it was so dirty. There are NO coffee or tea making setup like other hotel which was really disappointing. Breakfast was quite limited too but kitchen staff were friendly. We paid USD 240 and seriously think this place is overpriced for the ammenities it privides.

  • 5/5 Сергей �. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is possible to pay for a restaurant and a room with a card! This is so beautiful) The rooms on the 2nd floor are a little tired, it is better to choose on the first. The location near the beach allows you to hear the sound of the sea day and night! Breakfast is very large - fruit, coffee and scrambled eggs for everyone + toasts with butter and jam and toasts. From the menu I recommend shrimps with garlic sauce - you’ll just lick your fingers! (Original) Есть возможность оплатить ресторан и номер картой ! Это так прекрасно) Номера на 2ом этаже немного уставшие, лучше выбирать на первом. Расположение возле пляжа позволяет слышать звук моря и днем и ночью! Завтраки очень большие - фрукты, кофе и омлет на каждого + тосты с маслом и джемом и тосты. Из меню рекомендую креветки с чесночным соусом - просто пальчики оближешь !
