所有都很好，这是我近40天的斯里兰卡旅行中我最满意的一家旅店性价比非常的高，我在凌晨到达旅店老板夫妇都出来迎接我，这让我非常的感激，环境非常的好，院子非常的优美，清洁卫生做得非常好，而且他们会做外国人喜欢吃的早餐，我非常喜欢这里，我也非常感激这对夫妇

Pros:

Best rest in Sri Lanka at the end of my trip, no dogs barking at night and far enough from the road. Short walk from the beach and restaurant and close enough to the bus/train station.

Pleasant :)
Pros:

I stayed at JMF as a quick stop due to a late arrival to colombo and a long day of travel for my next destination; Galle. Over all fhe room was basic, but clean. I slept well and found the bed to be comfy. Though, youll need to bring your own shampoo and soap as there was none in the room. Luckily i had some. The biggest thing that stood out was the host and his kindness. He helped me order a ride to colombo and offered information to me. Happy with the room. Very happy with the host.

Cons:

Soap for a shower would be nice :)

非常差，完全不推荐
Cons:

非常糟糕的体验。下午3点来check in的时候老板正在吃饭，非常不耐烦地走过来问我叫什么，说我影响他吃午饭了，然后拿出他和老板的短信记录说我把check in时间调整到今晚22:00-24:00了，我说根本没这回事，又检查了booking聊天记录好几回，他仍然坚持不可以入住，他的英语非常差且没有沟通的耐心，无论我说什么他都不信任，非常不耐烦。我不得不在太阳下背着12公斤的背包拎着袋子等他和老板打了十分钟电话，期间他一直态度很差，和老板打电话也是扯着嗓子吼，骂骂咧咧，让我进来等半小时也是摔上门的，感觉他几乎要动手打人了，如果不是酒店不能退了，我真的不想住在这里，感觉人身安全完全没有保障。整个过程中他一直重复表示他也是一个人类，我打扰了他吃午饭。不知道他是存在被老板压榨的情况还是单纯种族歧视。最后他和老板联系好了，他的老板给我打电话说可以补偿我一顿价值4美金的早饭，我拒绝了，实在是不敢吃。我也不需要早饭来补偿，我希望是得到正常的对待而不是被威胁、被辱骂，不是被耽误近两个小时的时间，导致后面在尼甘布的安排完全被破坏了

在斯里兰卡15天，这是唯一一次让我感觉很愤怒、很不安的经历。非常不建议入住，卫生条件很一般，离商业区很远，酒店不接受vjsa卡甚至不接受美元，只接受斯里兰卡货币

Excellent établissement au coeur de Negombo ville !
Pros:

Établissement très bien situé dans Negombo, à environ 30 minutes en tuk tuk de l'aéroport international (1500 LKR) et proche des commodités de la ville (gare, bus station, commerces...) accessibles à pied
Excellent accueil ! et très bon petit déjeuner inclus
L'hôte très prévenant est aux petits soins et donne d'excellents conseils pour organiser votre transport
J'ai occupé une chambre simple (voyageuse solo) , climatisation, ventilateur, eau chaude, bouilloire électrique à disposition,la chambre n'est pas très grande mais vous disposez d'un salon attenant où il y a un frigo et un micro ondes !
Merci pour l'attention et la gentillesse !!

Cons:

Rien , tout a été parfait pour moi !
Excellent rapport qualité prix
