Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Total disaster - would not recommend.

The location has extremely tight access with no space to turn the car. They demanded full payment before handing over the keys.

We were given a rooftop room that could only be accessed via a very steep, unsafe ladder-style staircase.

The room itself was unhygienic - bedding was dirty and we kept some food on the table within minutes, cockroaches were crawling over the table.

When we reported the cockroach issue, we were simply given a chemical spray to use ourselves. When we turned off the bathroom light, more cockroaches appeared. There is also a large open gap in the bathroom.

Due to the serious hygiene and safety issues, we decided to leave within 2 hours of checking in.

Don't involve with Booking.com if you want to do ur business private. cz we got to know you here!
Pros:

Location was perfect. Very closer to the Hospital.

Cons:

1st day I have booked an Economy room and wanted to extend it for another day with a diff room. what I booked was a family room with two bed. but my client prefer to go for a Deluxe room which is at 9950Lkr. but this guys asked me to not to book with Booking.com just pay them the amount direct. and I did the transfer. when it comes to the day that my client has to check out, they have asked my client to check out by 10am which is not acceptable. it's showing here clearly check out time is at 12pm. and then they have told to my clients, if the client is going to stay until 12pm we have to pay additional 6k? what type of business is that? then they are saying that booking was not under booking.com.

you asked me to pay direct to your account and not to book with booking.com. and then now you are telling my clients if the clients are going to stay until 12pm they will have to pay additional 6k? just for 2hours? what do you think; guests are stupid as you think?

finally my clients are out by 10:30am. this is very rude and very disappointing. I would never ever recommend this property to any of my clients again!
