Highland Villa

Nothing special below average

Manager attitude is not good for hospitality ¿¿ Bad first impression when he talks to the guests on arrival. Ery low quality B fast served.

Private location and the building we stayed had 5 rooms and our friends occupied 3 of those. They have a pool which was quite useful for us. Breakfast was good and staff was friendly. Just 5 minute walk away from the beach. And great view of the sea from the room.

This property is gloriously peaceful. It’s a big site with only six bedrooms so there is plenty of space. There is no bar or restaurant but you can head out for those things.

It wouldn’t suit everyone but for us it was perfect.

The property was all that you could ask for , we had a beautiful room , possibly the best room I’ve ever had . The staff were outstanding .

The location was far out of town and the beach , there is a small beach nearby but that calls for a walk down a very rough and overgrown path .

Nothing much to say breakfast v poor. Below average property for the rates charged.

Manager was not at all friendly. Bad attitude first impression v poor

What a wonderful place! It was so nice to wake up in the middle of the nature and hear the sound of the sea and birds. From our balcony we saw monkeys jumping in the trees. Peacocks were walking around in the garden. It was so lovely. The villa is located at the hill, but there is a tuktuk near the gate which made it easy going somewhere. You can also walk to jungle beach (5-10 min walk). We had breakfast every morning (fruit, yoghurt, pancakes, toast, eggs), but it is also possible to make use of the kitchen yourself. Last but not least: a HUGE compliment to the entire staff, for their kindness and their flexibility. Everything was very clean and comfortable. When we are in Weligama again, we would definitely come back! Thank you!

I loved staying here, it was relaxing, the views were beautiful, the surroundings were peaceful and the staff were friendly BUT before you book let me clarify what this place actually is so you know what you're booking, because it wasn't very clear to me until I arrived. This is a hill top site with three or four separate properties or 'villas'. They are run like bed and breakfast room rentals, where your room will be 1 of up to 4 or 5 rooms in the same villa, all of which connect to one large main communal area. This communal area has couches to lounge on, a large table to dine at, and a kitchen that you pay a daily rate to use (not free as previously thought). Every morning breakfast is served to those who prepaid for it and everyone eats at the same table. Lunch and dinner can be provided upon special request ahead of time with the property manager. We never availed of this as it seemed too expensive, but for those that wish to stay on the property and not head out it's a nice option. The "adults" infinity swimming pool area isn't as advertised, children will play here and swim in the pool. This wasn't a problem for us, but it may be for some. The bar area beside the pool is self service, in that you have to buy the alcohol yourself and bring it to the property, there's no one there who will make you a nice mojito when you feel like one. You are at the mercy of the other guests in the villa, so it's pot luck whom you end up with. During the course of our 8 day stay there were three separate families (with children) that came and went. Children will be children, they cry, they scream, they run around. This wasn't a big issue for us as we always got up early and spent the day adventuring the local area, however if you like to sleep in you may need ear plugs to get complete silence. Overall our stay was a very enjoyable one, we would happily return.

Everything is fine: team, property, landmark

Got the room upgraded, very spacious! Staffs are very friendly and helpful. Very natural place; peacock, monkeys, squirrels, birds are your friend! my son loved it!!

Bathroom - water goes everywhere when take shower, no hot water in the morning (7-9 am). Shared fridge is a bit dirty

Nice view. Quiet

Too expensive.

+we got upgraded :-)+spacious room+comfy bed+wardrobe & clothing rack+quiet area+night security+friendly & helpful staff

-pool was not very clean

architecturally stunning

lack of food available which wasn’t made clear in the booking (lots of the photos are of food) and it’s not that suitable as a self catering place due to location of the kitchen. there are good food options around but it wasn’t that suitable for families due to the catering arrangements.

The property is beautiful and sparking clean. We've had the best breakfast here. The pool is also very clean and pleasant.

We liked everything.

spacious room and a very nice yard for relaxing. Friendly staff, I liked everything about the place.

mosquitoes if that counts haha, just don't forget your spray.

The property had a nice yard, the staff were friendly, the pool and resting area were great and the rooms clean, good looking with nice balconies, would definitely recommend.

great location, beautiful ground, lovely view and spacious villa.

not many services on offer at the property

the view, the best I’ve seen in my life. The staff is expectionally friendly, they go the extra mile for you

at night the room was very loud from a party next door. the room works as a soundbox.

Mega calm environment for the perfect holiday. Best sleeping time ever, so quiet place and rooms with AC and fans. Away from the main road, little bit like in the jungle. Everything is little bit far away and you need always tuktuk to move to Weligama or other way to the best beaches around, but it's nothing (all locations around 5-15min tuktuk ride) :)On the hill. 200m downstairs there's really special and hidden secret beach.Hilltop pool area with everything you need.Pefect view from the best room (Hilltop 4 room) to the sea and perfect for sunbathing.Hotel manager and staff - very kind people. For example, we had 2 different changes in our 2-week stay plans, but they always found the best solution for us. We have travelled a lot, but this Villa was perfect for this money. Really simple breakfast, maybe even too simple breakfast - only aspect, which comes to a mind, what this property can "improve". :) Thank you for the perfect stay!

breakfast was ok, very far from the beach

location and price

Stunning and modern villas, beautiful infinity pool and kindness of the staff.

The room wasn't cleaned throughout the stay (3 nights). More breakfast options would be better as well.
