"Lovely boutique hotel around 15 minutes drive from Hiriketiya. Staff were really friendly, the room was clean and practical (although we would appreciate more storage space). Very quiet away from the main road so you won’t hear cars beeping"

"Lovely quiet place with wonderful gardens and pool. Clean and large rooms, great staff, generous breakfast. Next to 3 in one spa for fabulous massage and a good coffee shop right next door. Great location. I cannot stress how lovely and accommodating staff is. "

"Wir haben zwei Nächte im Royal Palace verbracht. Der Besitzer war sehr nett und freundlich und hatte immer ein Lächeln auf den Lippen. Besonders hervorzuheben ist das köstliche, abwechslungsreiche und reichhaltige Frühstück – das beste, das wir während unseres zweiwöchigen Aufenthalts in Sri Lanka hatten. Die Lage ist strandnah und in der Nähe der Hauptstraße. Vom Balkon aus hat man Blick auf eine kleine Straße, die tagsüber recht belebt ist (vor allem durch die vielen Tuk-Tuks). Das Zimmer war...

"Nice and comfy room. Beautiful garden with many beautiful birds and other wildlife.
Close to the beach. Plus is for the distance to Galle Road (which is very noisy).
The dinner was good, but far from great. The curry’s are way to salty. Same as for the breakfast (don’t try the chocolate pancakes).
Beautiful place and very friendly staff.
- Big minus for the hotels own landfill that you see if you take a walk outside the fences. They should really clean that up. Not ok!

"Having heard about The Last House and one of Bawa's last properties, was keen to experience for myself. I love the property! It's a perfect place to 'flop & drop': positioned on a beautiful clean beach, a stunning pool, great Sri Lankan food and authentic Ayurvedic massage available - a new favourite. Ideal for a special occasion to block out for a small group of family & friends..."

Top Matara Hotel Reviews

Sea World Boutique Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Winderfull happy people. Highly recommended. Only missing housekeeping. But we havent asked for it too.. "

Tabula Rasa Resort & Spa
10/10 Excellent
"What a beautiful gem of a boutique hotel nestled on a hill surrounded by nature. Our room was beautiful, comfortable and spacious. It was tastefully designed and filled with personal touches such as books and beautiful photographs. The restaurant called The Dutch is superb. The daily breakfast menu was our favourite breakfast on this trip to Sri Lanka. The entire property is exceptional. We can’t wait to return. "

Jungle Village By Thawthisa
10/10 Excellent
"Everything was great! The only thing I didn't love was the internet connection. It looks like they use 4G cellular modems with data limits instead of a cable or fiber network. I occasionally had to hold Teams meetings for work, and the connection would drop and never get back. However, this seems to be a common issue across Sri Lanka, not just at this hotel. Aside from that, everything else was absolutely perfect, especially the staff and the location!"

Handagedara Resort
6/10 Okay
"The staff and location were great, but my room had an ant problem in the bathroom and the sheets felt clean but were stained. They gave me a late check out and held my bags for an hour, so that was nice, but unfortunately room 204 did not feel worth the price. The groubds are nice though"

Coastline Mirissa Boutique hotel and spa
10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely loved this hotel. Great location in a beautiful setting, gorgeous rooms, helpful staff. "

Ocean Bliss by Sugar Coliving
2/10 Terrible
"This was a disappointing stay. When it rained water pools in under the balcony door and several drips appeared in the ceiling. The resulting drips caused damage to some of my belongings, you just wouldn’t expect damage like that when paying so much for a room.
I booked the stay as a treat but feel that the room wasn't worth anything like the price. I do feel quite cheated. I’m sure it’s great when it’s dry here but I spent my stay with towels soaking up the flooding around the edges of the room. It somewhat destroyed the zen I was seeking.
I wrote to management as the staff on site didn’t seem to care much. But no reply, apology or concession. A real shame."

Radisson Collection Resort, Galle
8/10 Good
"Staff at the hotel were really good. "

Levels Unawatuna
4/10 Poor
"Service was great across the board; however, the hotel itself felt extremely neglected and for the price was quite disappointing. Makeover needed."

Outpost Weligama Beachfront
4/10 Poor
"Really disappointing stay here. We booked the standard room which, based off the photos, looks like it has a window in the bathroom looking onto greenery. This isn't the case, instead the window is dirty and covered so there's no natural light or ventilation. The bathroom as a result is damp (which they've clearly painted over), moulding, and the shower tray is taped together. The bedroom felt like a cave it was so dark and depressing. The bed was large and comfortable, but the sheets were stained and had a bad smell to them, and we also noticed chewing gum stuck to the headboard.
The rooftop pictures are also misleading and clearly old, as it is in need of renovations up there. Based on this I can only assume the other rooms are a similar standard.
As for the co-living, this was simply a cafe and, in our experience, a loud karaoke event (which you can hear throughout the accommodation, even if you'd prefer not to). We stayed for 8 nights and this was the only event we know of (if there were others, there is no information shared about them).
The only redeeming points are the staff are friendly and the wifi worked. There are much better co-working places to stay in Weligama at much cheaper prices, so we would avoid here."
