Reviews of Luvi Lucas River Side

I had such a wonderful stay at Luvi Lucas. My room was very spacious and clean. The views from the balcony were beautiful as it overlooks the river and is surrounded by palm trees. The breakfast was delicious and filling. The family who run Luvi are so friendly and will chat with you and make you feel very welcome. It was a perfect stay for me. Thankyou so much. The two dogs are gorgeous!

Had an amazing stay at Luvi Lucas Hotel! The host, Ravindu, is incredibly kind and helpful — he guided us with everything from bus routes to local travel tips. He also arranged scooty rentals, surfing, and snorkeling at great prices. His family is warm and welcoming, and they serve absolutely delicious home-cooked food. The location is perfect — just a short walk from the beach and close to the city center. Overall, it’s excellent value for money and I’d highly recommend staying here!

This was definitely the highlight of our trip in Sri Lanka. Ravindu and his family (and two amazing dogs!) were so welcoming, helpful, and so nice about everything. Breakfast everyday was great! Fresh fruits, eggs, and toast. So yum! If we needed extra toilet paper, towels, anything, we just chatted with them and they helped us out by giving it to us. We were having daily protein shakes and the only minor inconvenience for us was that we had no fridge... Ravi and his family let us put anything in their fridge and walfway through our stay, they brought us a mini fridge up in our room. AC was good as well, which was much welcomed when it was super hot and humid. And the two dogs were just the cherry on top. Especially Cal, who was so cuddly and always wanted to play and come for pets. Definitely the best service we've received while travelling in our 3-month backpacking trip all around the world. It made our stay in Sri Lanka even better.

Nothing - It was amazing! Just make sure you keep your bathroom door closed as from the window, it will get hot air from there and not cool down your room properly :) but that is very minor.

The breakfast is great and the room is clean, the owner is helpful

The best place in Weligama.

This really ticked all the boxes, a beautiful location along the river providing some peace and quiet which is rare for Weligama. The family who run it are so kind and helpful. Really recommend.

Nothing!

Riverside location a close walk to the beach and town Friendly family run place. Use of their kitchen fridge was handy. Excellent breakfasts served in "the boat," a floating pontoon on the river. Comfortable good-sized room and bathroom and balcony with river view. The pedestal fan as well as air-conditioning was usedul. Plenty of drying space with 2 racks provided. Nice ambience including sounds from the nearby Buddhist temple.

A small fridge and tea coffee facilities would improve the set-up, although they happily let us use their fridge and brought trays of tea up for us.

Peaceful location by the river. Views from the balcony. Access to their kitchen. Walking distance to beach and shops. Spacious clean and modern room

Very dull lighting in the room.

Quiet away from busy beach front . Very friendly family and air con was invaluable !!

Great location, close to the city center. Owner is extremely helpful and helped us with information, organising tours, cars etc. Home was as expected and matches the photos. Would definitely recommend

The rooms were very spacious, the bed comfortable, aircon worked well and we thought the location was great! 10 minute walk to the beach. The host was also lovely and very helpful. It’s also one of the only places we’ve had hot water in Sri Lanka!

Nothing

Amazing host

The AC didn’t work the first night. The basic things should be provided in room like hand towel and hand wash soap in bathroom,a kettle with few glasses or cups.

The rooms were very clean and it was close to the center

This has been our absolute favorite stay in Sri Lanka. The host family went above and beyond to take care of us, making us feel truly at home. At times, it felt as though we were part of their family. The rooms were spotless, and the property features a charming floating deck overlooking the river, where you can enjoy breakfast or dinner with a stunning view. We even spotted a huge crocodile from there! The lady who lives there also created beautiful hand-crafted souvenirs for us to take home for our friends. We would highly recommend this place 10/10, and look forward to returning someday!

Everything about the property was amazing. The river view, room facilities and the host was fabulous. We stayed for one night and we really enjoyed it

Firstly, the property is neatly maintained. It is situated at a perfect calming destination away from all the huzzle and buzzle of the city. This river side property was a bliss to stay in. Thanks to Ravindu for being an amazing and a friendly host. He didn’t leave us stranded or in doubt. Excellent property, friendly host and his family, serene environment and hazzle free stay!

Everything was perfect! We went surfing in the morning and the host let us went back to our room to take a shower. The room was big, the kindest host I’ve ever met in Sri Lanka, nice location, walking distance to the beach and also the delicious breakfast was 10/10! The food was so good so we decided to have lunch here as well and of course we enjoyed it a lottt. :)))

The breakfast is on a floating restaurant with river view! The staff is very friendly. They helped on our question about train schedule and which station to get off. Spacious room. Comfortable bed.

No shampoo, slipper, tissue. Please bring your own. No mirror in the living room.

It is a beautiful hotel in a calm part of weligama. It is so calm that in the mornings you can spot monkeys in the trees next to the balcony. As well as squirrels , beautifully coloured birds and peacocks ! The rooms are very spacious and have a big bathroom. There's also an indoor seating part in front of the room . Breakfast is really good and healthy and can be taken on the flooting terrace while overlooking the sunrise over the river. Truly magical . Beach is only 10 min walk away. And not to forget : the beds are extremely comfortable! If asked, the owner will arrange airport transfer or other taxi services!

Everything was great

Its a good place with awesome view! Friendly owner and nice breakfast. Very close to Weligama beach and main surf spot. Also restaurants and Foodsity is nearby like 5-7 min walk

Do not leave your food outside cuz monkeys can eat it )

A very big room and bathroom with loads of space for our luggae. Every room has its own small porch with a table a chairs overlooking the beautiful garden and the river. The location was very convenient as well, very quiet, but only 10 min walk from the surfers beach and the restaurants. A great place to chill. They offer laundry cleaning services and scooter rental too :)
