Guest reviews for The Mango Leaf
"I couldn't recommend this place any higher. I felt the hospitality was unmatched, and that the location was perfect for those looking for something close to the water but with a little more privacy. I ended up returning for one more day during my trip and communicating with the hosts was the easiest thing ever, they were so flexible."

When we mentioned our love for egg rolls, he surprised us with a delightful breakfast of egg rolls and tea that was absolutely fantastic! 👌🏽🔥 Also the location is very close to many a good beaches and a lot of night life hotspots in the area."

"The Mango Leaf was no ordinary stay. We got the friendliest of the host with great people to talk to. Guided us to the nearby attractions in the smartest possible way and helped us enjoy the property to the fullest. Dr. Buultjens also guided us on some of the basics of Ayurveda therapy. And shared their food with us, which was simple and delicious. They also helped us to get the buses to Ella in time and helped with our trip itinerary after the stay. I would highly recommend this stay, though it is modest, the friendly hosts will definitely make it worth your time and effort. :)"

"It's a nice place to unwind. A quiet spot. The hosts are very kind. Yes, the size of the family room we reserved is ideal for three people. The beds are modern, tidy, and comfortable. Additionally, the bathroom is odor-free and clean. You can have a hot water shower. We are provided with complimentary morning tea and pastries. 500m walk to the beach."
"Nothing to say"
"Very spacious & clean rooms with cupboards to store your belongings, a modern type restroom and a very comfortable bed. The rooms are situated in a cozy & green backyard and secured by a gate and 2 dogs. To the beach is just 10 mins by foot. The whole area is very local and people are friendly towards foreigners, so were the hosts. The place is ran by a mother and her son, both extremely helpful and easygoing. They speak a decent English and have a natural welcoming personality. I felt super comfortable during my stay and appreciated their support since I caught a cold beforehand and had to recover. I can totally recommend this place. Thanks a lot for your hospitality guys 🙏"

"Keyt était aux petits soins pour nous. Il a tout fait pour que notre séjour se passe le mieux possible. L'endroit est très joli, les lits confortables, et pas loin du centre de Polhena et même de madiha. Je remercie encore Keyt qui nous a vraiment aidé pendant notre séjour."

"Staff going beyond expectations. Nice spot at the outskirt of the park. Amazing food experience - you taste many local dishes and they explain them to you in a lovely setting with candles and a campfire."

"Posizione fantastica in mezzo alla natura scoiattoli che saltano sul terrazzo e a volte anche scimmie e pavoni, esperienza unica, un po’ più nell’entro terra ma va benissimo, era quello che cercavo"

"I had such a beautiful stay here. The place is perfectly located – close to everything but still peaceful, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The room was really comfortable and clean, and the people here were incredibly kind and always happy to help with anything I needed. For me, this place became more than just accommodation – it felt like a small healing space during my time in Weligama. I truly felt taken care of, relaxed and at home. Highly recommended for anyone looking for good energy, comfort and genuine hospitality."

"Perfect family getaway at Padmi Villa! We travelled to Weligama, Sri Lanka with our teenager in February 2025 and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The second floor was exclusively for our family, and the space was perfect. The location is fantastic, and the host family were invaluable in helping us discover the best local spots. They were incredibly responsive and always willing to help with any questions. The villa is well-equipped, and the kitchen made it easy to prepare our own meals. We were even treated to delicious traditional food on our last day! We highly recommend Padmi Villa to families looking for a comfortable and authentic stay"
