Pros:

La vue, la propreté et la gentillesse du personnel

Cons:

Il n’y avait pas de couette dans la chambre, juste un drap. et le prix des plats de leur restaurant est excessif pour une portion ridicule. C’était loin d’être le meilleur plat qu’on ait mangé au Sri Lanka pourtant nous adorons la nourriture de ce pays.. pour le reste c’était ok.

Pros:

AU TOP ! 😊
Magnifique vue du balcon sur les rizières !
Deux lits doubles très confortables et possibilité de faire une machine à moindre coût.
Logement propre, hôte très gentille et arrangeante.
On peut aussi manger sur place, un vrai repas local !

Cons:

Si je dois dire quelque chose, je dirai un peu excentré (15/20mins du centre ville et de l'arrêt de bus) mais la balade est très agréable au milieu des rizières et des lacs environnant.
Nous avons eu une petite mésaventure avec notre Safari mais ce n'était pas la faute de l'hôte mais du prestataire (qui sera changé à l'avenir).

Fijn verblijf!
Pros:

We hebben erg genoten van ons verblijf. Onze kamer had een mooi uitzicht over de rijstvelden. De hostess was erg lief en hielp ons met het regelen van de safari en transfers. Ook hebben we lekker gegeten bij de accomodatie. Een aanrader.

Great safari location and amazing food!
Pros:

Our stay was very comfortable, with a balcony looking out over the rice fields, and the host was very attentive. She helped organise our safari trip to Yala National Park and also cooked us two delicious evening meals (up there with some of the best rice and curry we tried). Highly recommend

Pros:

The view of the rice fields from the balcony was very nice. The host prepared a tasty Srilankan dinner for us and arranged a taxi to take us to our next destination.

Cons:

The facilities are dated and require upgradation. The rooms are on the first floor and it is difficult for senior citizens to carry their luggage up the stairs. The bathroom door locked itself in the middle of the night.

Guter Unterkunft für Yala
Pros:

Wir waren nur eine Nacht für den Besuch des Yala NP. Schönes gepflegtes Haus mit bequemen Betten und sehr großer Terrasse. Wir haben sehr leckeres Rice und Curry zu Abend gegessen. Der Gastgeber hat uns noch seinen selbst gemachten Büffeljoghurt serviert. Die Gastgeber versuchen den Gästen den Aufenthalt so gut wie möglich zu ermöglichen.
Von der Terrasse kann man die Pfauen beobachten.

Cons:

Etwas abgelegen, dafür sehr ruhig.
