Pros:

Een enorm uitgebreid ontbijt en super vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel.

Cons:

Een klein beetje buiten het centrum maar zeker niet onoverkomelijk. Enkel had de kamer wat opbergruimte mogen hebben.

Buen sitio para pasar la noche y hacer el Safari a Minneriya
Pros:

El personal muy amable. Hay una piscina (no había toallas en principio pero pregunté y nos la dieron).
Desayuno muy abundante y bueno.
Habitación correcta. Ojo, enchufes antiguos (hace falta adaptador). Aire acondicionado ok.

Cons:

No es culpa de ellos pero se escuchó un perro ladrar toda la noche.
Está detrás la calle principal, por la noche está a oscuras, prever linterna (eso ya nos ha pasado, es algo habitual aquí).

Buena experiencia
Pros:

El mejor desayuno que hemos tenido en Sri Lanka y CAF adía iba variando. El dueño era muy amable y nos ayudó a organizar las actividades de los días que estuvimos allí.

Cons:

Para llegar al hotel había que recorrer un camino sin asfaltar, lo que dificultaba el acceso.

Beautiful and peaceful place close to nature and the city centre
Pros:

Wonderful breakfast, great Sri Lankan food mixed with European. A little different every day. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Mahesh, the owner organised our pick-up from the airport, our elephant safari, a driver whenever we needed one and even took us on his daily morning walk where we observed lots of different birds and walked in the footsteps of some elephants that had been there a little while earlier. He made sure we had everything we needed and answered any question. Thanks again! Would definitely stay there again!

Cons:

Nothing

Großartig! Unbedingt empfehlenswert
Pros:

Der Eigentümer sowie die Staff waren super zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. Das Frühstück morgens war der absolute Hammer! Jeden Tag gab es eine andere einheimische Speise- aber auch Pancakes, Toast und Marmelade sowie Früchte gab es immer.
Wir wurden sogar am ersten Abend zu einer Geburtstagsparty inklusive Karaoke - Singen eingeladen. Alle haben sich rührend um uns gekümmert und jedes Problem wurde sofort behoben. Mahesh, der Chef, arrangiert auch Ausflüge, Safaris etc. Essen gibt es nicht vor Ort , es gibt allerdings eine Menü - Karte von einem dazugehörigen Restaurant, über die man Essen bestellen kann. Alles sehr easy. Wir waren begeistert- den Pool haben wir alle sehr geliebt!

Pros:

Las instalaciones estaban fenomenal. Hay una persona que te atiende las 24h además de facilitarte en todo momento el transporte. El desayuno era muy abundante y delicioso.

Cons:

Quizás la ubicación. En el camino hasta llegar a la casa faltaba un poco de iluminación sobre todo de noche. Por lo demás todo genial.

Pros:

Here's an updated version of Option 2, incorporating all the new details:
The staff here are exceptionally kind and always quick to assist with anything you need. I really appreciated how well the air conditioning worked.
Dining Delights & Pristine Pool
For dinner, we were able to enjoy dishes from the owner's restaurant right on the hotel terrace – it was truly luxurious and delicious. The next morning, breakfast was equally impressive with such a wide variety that we couldn't even try everything, and it was all very tasty.
The pool was kept perfectly clean by the staff, who cleared leaves daily. I wish I hadn't been injured so I could've taken a dip!
Cleanliness & Comfort
Our room was spotless, and it was fantastic not to find any insects inside or on the terrace. Plus, shampoo and soap amenities were provided.
My stay was wonderful, and this is definitely the hotel I'll choose on my next visit to Sri Lanka. Thank you!
