The Green Rooms

In short: Definitely worth it.

In detail.

Pros:
- Very cool instructors, despite their young age
- almost personal approach at the beginning of the training
- secluded corner of the beach, without all the street noise
- You live right on the beach, even Marriott doesn't seem to have such conditions.
- If you think that the cabana is not for you, I advise you to reconsider: it does not get very warm in the sun, to wash under the open sky, even in the rain, these are the sensations you want to get from a vacation on a tropical island.
- Incredibly cool organized recreation areas, pool after sunset - a must!
- Open and friendly staff, always ready to help.the owner, shows his full interest in making your vacation worry-free.

Disadvantages:
- Lack of minimal hygiene products in the shower, after a fourteen hour flight you don't want to think about where to get shampoo in an unfamiliar place.
- Low level of English of the instructors, which sometimes makes it difficult to understand some aspects (but like all activities, surfing is a practice, so without preparation at home and minimal training, you should not wait for a magic pill).
- Expensive food/beer for guests, average price among establishments in the area, but even a difference of -200 LRps for a beer will make you more willing to grab it at the bar instead of going to the store.
- A ten percent service charge when paying the cafe bill? Why? I already live at your place, it seems like the service could have been included in the price instead of getting a surprise at the checkout.

It may seem like there are a lot of minuses, but they are more for the owners, because I wish GreenRooms to be even better and come back to them in a few years to have another good time.
Thanks again to Aj, Lina, Oshan, Tutu, Yase and the rest of the team.

+ Location is perfect, direct at a beach
+ pool is perfect, without open time, you can swim whenever you want:) and water is warm
+ they rent also surfs and provide joga lessons or surf lessons
+ there are sunbeds with umbrella on a beach and at the pool, what is really fine
+ breakfast are also fine (but you need to wait for a breakfast sometimes more then 30minutes)
+ facility arround hotel is stylish
- they dont clean rooms automaticly, maybe you neeed to ask for it…
- I missed bedside tables in a room
-We also missed electric kettle
- In description is written that in the rooms are safety box, but there arent.
- no wifi in the room

Nice surfing location. Surboards and motorbikes on tent here. On beach side hotel is situated. Good to have.

Absolutely LOVE this place. We're currently staying here for surf school. It's been amazing. The teachers are super good and really know how to help you improve. Our room is stunning with beach views. You can hear the surf at night which is so dreamy. It takes us seconds to get into the waves. The staff are so friendly and really helpful if you need anything they will help you sort it. Could not recommend this place more. Great holiday so far and can't wait to return! Thank you very much to all the crew at the green rooms:)

Green rooms are just perfect for surfing. The atmosphere is super relaxing view is very beautiful

Can’t wait to return

Very relaxed place and cool surf guides (thanks to Mendis!) you can just grab your board and jump directly into the water!

Host is very reiendly and helpful, one of theajor pro's of this site
Hotel location is great for surfing
Rooms are only barely equipped with anything beyond bed and could be refurbished
Esp beginner boards are all damaged (softboard coating ripped of, leash holper ripped etc) and not as many board available as surfers in peak times
Cool are the surftours with the boat they are offering
In total: good place to surf but some investments would be great

Had the best time while I was staying here.
My mornings were kind of: wake up, grab a board (they have a range of sizes), morning surf and back for breakfast (juices, fruit plate, eggs, toast.) YUMMY!
I used to go for a long walk on the bay in the evenings.to see probably the most stunning sunsets that I've seen of my life.
The location it's just perfect, just in front of the beach, I checked the waves from the balcony! The room was really nice, ocean view, quiet and clean.
The staff it's very friendly and profesional, it's always somebody around in case you need anything. They also provide surf lessons, boat trips.
If the location, price, FOOD, and staff it's good, I can't really think about a better place to stay and enjoy the beauty of Sri Lanka

Amazing staff and great surf. You can literally just walk out of your room, grab a board and go surfing. Prepare to stay longer than planned.

What a fantastic place to hang around. Exactly right on the beach. Friendly staff. Will be back again very soon.

We had a great time staying in the green rooms. The owner is a really nice guy and you can rent motorbikes and surfboards there. Best waves are right in front of the hostel. Definitly one of the best places to stay in weligama.

I stayed for 2 nights for surfing and relaxing. Loved the place. We had a little cabin with the bathroom in the back and no roof. In the room we had a safe. Don't think you will regret this. Good food and friendly staff.

A very cozy place and lovely people. Perfect beach for surfing and also very good surf-instructors. I miss the place everytime I leave.

Very well located along the Weligama Beach. It is close enough to all the bars and restaurants down the beach and just far enough to be able to have your own beach infront of you. We were able to hire surf boards from the accommodation for a very reasonable price. Accommodation is exactly what you need - good bed, outside bathroom and enough space to move around. There are loungers to lie on during the day which are perfect for those hot tanning days. I would highly recommend staying at the Green Rooms. (side note: don't leave any food in your room as the ants will find it and eat it) :)

Such a great location. Right on the beach front. Friendly and helpful staff. Loved our stay there! Would definitely recommend!

We just loved this place! Super friendly staff, amazing and really, really caring and helpful surf instructors, super close to the beach and everyone is simply welcome. Rather you travel alone, with your partner or as a group!

To the people who complain about the slow service: come on you guys, you are on vacation. The staff tries it‘s very best to fullfil all the special needs of the customers. Some people just want a coffee before surfing and the omlette afterwards, some want a whole fruit plate or a fruit juice, etc, etc! So just relax!
