Top Kalametiya Hotel Reviews

Shangri-La Hambantota

10/10 Excellent

"The Hambutota Shangra-La was very nice with ocean side access and amenities that made our 3 day stay very enjoyable. Two situations affected our stay. First, a last minute request for a second room met with a delay as room accessories needed to be repaired. Unfortunately, there was a one hour delay in accommodating the additional guests though important efforts were made to ameliorate the problem. Secondly, one guest took a fall and was attended to repeatedly with palliative care brought to the guest's room. Otherwise, the pool and breakfast buffet were wonderful."

Halcyon Mawella

10/10 Excellent

"Had a great stay that definitely met our expectations. Room was beautiful and comfortable with much needed AC. Perfect, relaxing location with a beautiful pool and beach. The hotel has a newer chef who has upgraded the food which we enjoyed so much we didn’t feel the need to schlep into the busy town. Would definitely stay here again if we ever make our way back to Sri Lanka one day. The hotel also provides but they seem to be around especially if one is sensitive. Also special mention to the owner who is super friendly and hands-on enduring that the guests’ needs are being met. Thank you! "

SURF N SPICE

10/10 Excellent

"I must be honest at first I was a bit sceptical about staying in this place. The pictures just didn’t make me feel like it would be a place I want to stay at. So I booked just a few days and then I ended up extending my stay and I stayed here for two weeks I absolutely loved it. The guys that work here were always so attentive and anything I needed or wanted just to make my stay more comfortable. They would always try to get for me. I am so grateful for everyone who works here. I felt safe. I felt taken care of. I will definitely be back. I miss it here every day."
