Most hotel room reservations are fully refundable if you cancel prior to the hotel's cancellation deadline, which is usually within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a reservation that's non-refundable, it might still be possible to cancel it and receive a refund within a 24-hour period of booking. Add dates, click "Search", then you can filter by "fully refundable" to review the best options available near Sithulpawwa Buddhist Monastery. ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - Accommodation - Flights - Packages - Other - [5 Star Hotels in Weerawila](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Weerawila-Hotels.s50-0-d6346687.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) - [Hotels near Bundala National Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bundala-National-Park-Hotels.0-l553248621532738537-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) - [Debarawewa Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Debarawewa-Hotels.d3000003218.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Gay-Friendly Hotels in Tissamaharama](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Tissamaharama-Gay-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d6256129-tGayFriendlyHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) - [Tissamaharama Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Tissamaharama.d6256129.Hotel-Destinations) - [Kirinda Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kirinda-Hotels.d6141217.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Safari Tentalow in Kirinda](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kirinda-Safari-Tentalow.d6141217-aaSafariTentalow.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) - [Mahasenpura Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mahasenpura-Hotels.d553248635974717267.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Palatupana Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palatupana-Hotels.d3000003076.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Weerawila Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weerawila-Hotels.d6346687.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Yala Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yala-Hotels.d645003002291478528.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Flights to Weerawila](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheap-Flights-To-Weerawila.d6346687.Travel-Guide-Flights) - [Flights from Bengaluru (BLR) to Hambantota (HRI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/blr/hri/bengaluru-to-hambantota) - [Flights from Mumbai (BOM) to Hambantota (HRI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bom/hri/mumbai-to-hambantota) - [Flights from Colombo (CMB) to Hambantota (HRI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/cmb/hri/colombo-to-hambantota) - [Flights from Dubai (DXB) to Hambantota (HRI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/dxb/hri/dubai-to-hambantota) - [Flights from Glasgow (GLA) to Hambantota (HRI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/gla/hri/glasgow-to-hambantota) - [Flights from Joacaba (JCB) to Hambantota (HRI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/jcb/hri/joacaba-to-hambantota) - [Flights from Kandy (KDZ) to Hambantota (HRI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/kdz/hri/kandy-to-hambantota) - [Flights from London (LGW) to Hambantota (HRI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lgw/hri/london-to-hambantota) - [Flights from Lahore (LHE) to Hambantota (HRI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhe/hri/lahore-to-hambantota) - [Flights from London (LHR) to Hambantota (HRI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/hri/london-to-hambantota) - [Flights from Chennai (MAA) to Hambantota (HRI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/maa/hri/chennai-to-hambantota) - [Flights from Male (MLE) to Hambantota (HRI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/mle/hri/male-to-hambantota) - [Visit Debarawewa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Debarawewa.dx3000003218) - [Patanangala Tsunami Memorial](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Patanangala-Tsunami-Memorial-Southern-Province.d553248621574431201.Attraction) - [Visit Weerawila](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weerawila.dx6346687) - [Things to do in Tissamaharama](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Tissamaharama.d6256129.Travel-Guide-Activities)
