Perfect
Pros:

Supeeer mooi verblijf en hele lieve mensen. Het zwembad was top, de kamers waren top, eigenlijk was alles top.

Cons:

Heel klein puntje is dat het een stukje lopen is vanaf het strand en de restaurants.

Pros:

Virkelig smukt og behageligt at være der. Føles mere som guesthouse end hotel.

Cons:

Der var aber på taget om natten om larmede helt vildt meget, og holdte os vågen den ene nat.

Beautiful place
Pros:

The merchant house is a very special place, secluded from the main busy road of Ahangama but within walking distance. The place is stunning, clean and the staff is beyond helpful.

Cons:

Nothing, we loved everything about it.

Pros:

I liked that they had just 3 rooms on the whole property so it was very cozy, not crowded at all. The common areas were very spacious and the kitchen was neat and clean. Felt comfortable, the staff was friendly.

Wspaniale klimatyczne miejsce
Pros:

Po przyjeździe obsługa poczęstowała nas zimnym kokosem :) obiekt jest niezwykle klimatyczny i urokliwy. Pokoje i łazienka bardzo przestronne, wygodne łóżko, łazienka z pięknie pachnącym ręcznikami oraz kosmetykami. Obsługa jest niezwykle mila i pomocna. W obiekcie jest dostęp do kuchni, wody, herbaty i kawy a codziennie rano czekały na nas pyszne lokalne owoce i wyśmienita granola. Basen jest na prawdę duży, czysty, ilość leżaków odpowiada ilości gosci. Można na prawdę odpocząć w spokoju i pięknej zieleni. Czuliśmy sie w merchant house jak w domu!

Beautiful, calm house with lovely people and lush garden
Pros:

Beautiful place, spacious luxurious rooms, super comfy bed!
Garden and pool are great - no noise from the main road. We saw monkeys and beautiful birds in the garden!
Staff is super friendly.

Cons:

There is no restaurant or cafe on site. They offer complimentary yoghurt/milk with fresh fruit and granola, and French press coffee in the morning, which is a nice touch - but I would have loved to be able to order some drinks and snacks by the pool, have a relaxed breakfast/brunch in the morning or a late night snack or drink before bed.
