Super leckeres traditionelles Essen von Mama im wunderschönen Dschungel am See! Alle sind sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Milan hat uns außerdem viel über Land und Leute erzählt und war mit kostengünstigen Tipps sehr hilfreich.

Milan heeft ons verblijf heel bijzonder gemaakt en we hebben daardoor de stad echt goed leren kennen!
Pros:

Milan is een uitstekende host! Hij heeft ons geholpen met het plannen en regelen van alle activiteiten (ook een safari naar Wilpattu). Hij regelde onze guide Siri die ons super veel bijzondere dingen heeft laten zien! Echt een aanrader. Zijn moeder heeft heerlijk voor ons gekookt.

Cons:

Niks!

A great location and base for seeing the area with a perfect host
Pros:

The welcome and host Milan, who could not do enough to make sure our stay was comfortable and helped with all of our arrangements. Whether sorting the best guides or advice and booking tuk tuks. The homemade traditional Sri Lanka breakfast was excellent, made by his mum, and well worth trying.

Cons:

It was perfect for what we needed

Perfect place to stay in Anuradhapura
Pros:

The food was exceptional and there was amazing customer service before, during and after our stay. The location is good next to the lake. The Tuk-Tuk tour of the historical sites that Milan organised was a good price and the guide, Siri, was very knowledgeable. The room had a modern bathroom and a nice balcony to sit out on in the evening. Would highly recommend staying here.

Nothing

Pros:

posto magnifico vicino a un lago, Milan il proprietario è stato molto disponibile, ci ha consigliato bene ogni cosa senza pushing e ci ha aiutato ad organizzarla con prezzi onesti. Il tuk tuk driver che ci ha portato alla città vecchia suo amico è stato super, ci ha spiegato con dettaglio, intimità e cura ogni cosa. Il migliori hotel manager che abbiamo incontrato in sri lanka

Beautiful views, peaceful and welcoming home
Pros:

This was a great location to stay at. Couldn’t fault it. My room upstairs had a private balcony which overlooked the lake. The aircon was excellent as was the strong hot shower. My bed was clean and comfortable. It was a joy talking with Milan the owner, especially about Buddhism. He organised a guide to take me to the ancient city. A privilege to see the people come to feed the monks and pay their respects at the white stupa. Also wonderful was his mother’s traditional cooking - food I never experienced elsewhere in Sri Lanka. The friendliness and helpfulness of staff was wonderful. I highly recommend staying here

Cons:

Everything was special and much appreciated

Nous avons adoré notre séjour. Le propriétaire était d’une très grande gentillesse et disponibilité. Grace a des conseils, nous avons pu optimiser notre séjour à Anuradhapura.

Sa maman s’est levé à 5h du matin pour nous préparer notre petit déjeuner lors de la journée au parc national de Wilpattu.
Très bon petit déjeuner

Pros:

L'atenció del Milan,el propietari, és excepcional, des del primer moment que entres al Lake wave hotel té la delicadesa d'explicar-te tot, des de coses de la seva ciutat com els plats típics del país que cuinen de forma casolana des de l'hotel i estan bonissims.
Ens va organitzar el tour per la ciutat amb guia i va ser un dia genial, vam aprendre molt, ho recomanem!
Ens hem sentit molt cuidats!!
