This place is in a great spot and the rooms are clean. To be fair , the guy did give us a fan room downstairs for 2000 rupees which is 1500 off what we read as the normal price! The room was nice and clean and everything worked fine, it also had an actual spring mattress which was a first... More

This is one of those places that you leave, not quite sure. We stayed at this place for two weeks. Although it looked like it had great potential, that thought was quickly retracted having experienced a few question marks. We took one of the top double rooms, half board costing $66 per day. The rooms are atrocious, their moderately cleaned,... More

Stayed at Samaru January 2013 , whilst sitting on the lovely Weligama Bay which is a very safe sandy surf break good for beginners it has a terrible atmosphere in the guesthouse. Although I had no problems with my wife and myself , saw loads of fights and rows between staff and tourists in front of the guests which including... More

We booked the Samaru for a short break, calling the day before to ensure the booking was in place. We turned up to find that there was no room for us (we were not alone in this experience as another pair of travellers were going thought the same thing when we arrived as well). After a long journey this was... More

Weligama was our third stop in Sri Lanka as people recommended it for surfing. We stayed 5 nights in Samaru Beach House. A guesthouse right on the beach with simple but comfortable rooms. We had breakfast on our balcony which was fantastic every morning. All the staff were friendly and helpful especially the owner Aruna who was keen to make... More

terribly slow service.. Seems that many of the staff just sit down doing nothing Just getting a menu can take around 30 minutes. And that's if you tell them you want something to eat. Better options around the area

We choose the place from the LP, it's very good. Very close to the sea, nice location. The room is clean and comfortable. Two owners of the hotel are very nice people, the services are quite professional. The food is good. (however the rice is not good choice, not well cook.)

I had holidays in Sri Lanka in January. Going to fly with friend, but she could not and I went alone. Quite by accident hit the Samaru. In Weligama excellent beach and good waves for surfing. My instructor was Aruna. He was always attentive to his guests and ready to help. Since I was traveling alone, there I was not... More

We stayed a few nights in November 2011. The location is great and there are surf boards available to hire here (though be sure to properly agree the rental price with the management). We had a mixed reception from the staff - some very friendly, some less so - but overall the room was clean enough, hot water plentiful etc.... More
