C’était trop géniale !
Pros:

J’ai adorer la piscine, super agréable, l’emplacement est juste dingue j’ai adorée ! La chambre superbe, moustiquaire, air conditionné, tout était top !
Il y avait un varan au dessus de la douche sur le toit c’était impressionnant !! Personnel adorable, il y a même un sèche cheveux ! J’étais aux anges

Cons:

Un petit frigo serait le bienvenu

Una molt bona estada i ben atesos
Pros:

Personal molt atent. Un suc increïble en arribar. Piscina amb molt bones vistes. Vam fer el safari amb ells i va ser genial. L’habitació en general està molt bé tot i que és cert que alguns llençols son una mica vells.
Ens van oferir sopar i esmorzar i tot molt bo.

Pros:

Bel hôtel, bien situé pour les safaris, safaris très bien organisés. Jolie piscine pour se détendre après. Personnel très sympathique.

Cons:

Nous avions 2 chambres, pas d’eau chaude dans une des 2. Pas de possibilité de manger à midi après le safari. Possible de dîner le soir, le monsieur fait un plat. Nous avons mangé un deux deux soirs un curry végétarien bon et non piquant mais il faut aimer, à savoir donc…

Pros:

De mensen die hier werken zijn super lief en doen er alles aan om je verblijf onvergetelijk te maken. Ze zijn super vriendelijk en kunnen heerlijk koken! De uitzichten bij het zwembad zijn ook zo gaaf!

Cons:

We zou bij het zwembad nog wel wat schaduw gecreëerd kunnen worden want de mooie palmbomen geven niet voldoende schaduw.

Cons:

I would not recommend staying here, particularly if you are a solo traveller, its very very remote and the manager/owner is a little strange. It gets very dark at night and there isn't anything nearby, you'd even struggle getting a tuk tuk to come to the hotel to be honest. My room was dark and dingy and unclean, I even found a used plaster in my bed. It was just about doable as we were only there 1 night for the safari, but if I could do it again, I'd have sucked it up and paid more for somewhere nearer the safari/town.

Pros:

Super accommodation for anyone looking for an relaxing peaceful stay.
They booked Yala national park for us and packed a lunch for the trip. Host was really friendly and made us his homemade Sri Lankan curry for dinner both nights which was really tasty.

Pros:

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt in den Rice Rice Villas. Die Unterkunft ist sehr ruhig und liebevoll geführt. Das gesamte Team war unglaublich freundlich, hilfsbereit und hat uns jederzeit sehr willkommen fühlen lassen.

Ein besonderes Highlight war das Essen: Der Gastgeber hat uns ein Gericht nach einem Familienrezept seiner Mutter gekocht. Es war absolut köstlich und das sollte man sich nicht entgehen lassen.

Wir haben uns insgesamt sehr wohlgefühlt und waren mit allem sehr zufrieden. Auch für die Safari ist die Lage gut geeignet.

Vielen Dank für die tolle Gastfreundschaft, wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.
