Pros:

Roen, den hyggelige vært, poolen , tæt på stranden. Pænt og rent værelse

Cons:

Små værelser
Lidt kedelig morgenmad
Byen er hektisk og du har ikke lyst til at gå
Sov i et tæppe du følte alle andre havde brugt, sengen var hård, puden høj og lagner kunne ikke sidde fast på sengen

Avoid at all cost
Pros:

- 15-minute walk to Uppuveli Beach.
- Generous and good breakfast.
- The host is kind, and helpful.

Cons:

We had booked a 5-night stay but left after the first night for the following reasons:

- The cleanliness was appalling. Everything was extremely dirty, including the bed linen, which gave me a skin rash.
- There was no internet, and the TV did not work.
- There was no hot water in the first room, so we asked to change rooms. In both rooms we tried, the TV didn't work, there was no internet, and around three-quarters of the electrical sockets were not working. The cleanliness in both rooms was also very poor.
- The swimming pool was completely unusable. It was extremely dirty, had no filtration, and it felt unsafe to swim in.
- There was no access to the kitchen or the fridge, despite both being advertised.
- The photos are completely misleading. They do not reflect the reality of the property, which feels neglected and poorly maintained. Even the menu shown in the photos simply does not exist.

Avoid this place at all costs. We certainly did.

Pros:

Не далеко от пляжа, магазинов, банка и барбекю куры гриль. Очень приветливый хозяин. Чисто и уютно. Дешевле чем в Нигомбо или в Колумбо. Можно найти много рыбы и курицы в ресторанах. Главное просить их не перчить и не готовить с кари соусом. Целиковые, не наколотые химикатами барбекю куры в центре города, напротив заправочной. Рыба, всякая, сушеная, вяленая, свежая и даже живая прям у моря можно купить по смешным ценам. И красивый Темпле, обязательно для посещения.

Cons:

Правда бассейн не был чистым, но мы ходили только на пляж. Для этого сюда мы и приехали.

Pros:

Vriendelijk personeel. Het zwembad werd dagelijks gekuist. Vroegere checkout was geen probleem.

Cons:

Hoewel we vooraf goede reviews lazen, kon dit appartement de verwachtingen niet waarmaken. De kamer was erg basic en de airco maakte veel lawaai. Bij aankomst moesten we direct zeven muggen doodslaan en de sfeer was verre van gezellig. We zijn daarom een dag eerder vertrokken. Dit verblijf is prima als overnachting op doorreis, maar niet geschikt als plek om enkele dagen te ontspannen.

Pros:

Sehr saubere und schöne Unterkunft. Hatte alles was wir benötigt haben. Personal war sehr nett und hilfsbereit, ohne aufdringlich zu sein. Schöner kleiner Balkon und auch am Pool konnten wir gemütlich baden.

Pros:

Bon wifi, bon esmorzar i el senyor de la casa molt amable i disposat a ajudar

Cons:

Llençols antics, aspres i incòmodes. Tot molt vell. Ens vam banyar a la piscina però feia mala olor.
No hi havia aigua calenta, tot i que amb la calor tampoc era el pitjor del món

Decent enough value for the place but dirty pool
Pros:

Aircon was really nice to have in the heat.
Private bathroom.
The owner gave us an extra sheet after we requested as the first one was quite small.
Felt quite secure.

Cons:

The pool was dirty, and the water was murky. Super disappointing as this was one of the places main draws when booking. Also pretty noisy by the pool. No cushions on the loungers.

A little awkward coming back and walking through the owners living room while he's watching TV to get to the room.

Toilet was also leaking a little from the base.

Prima voor korte duur
Pros:

De locatie was top en ontbijt was ook goed

Cons:

We kregen een soort eenpersoonshanddoek als deken en het voelde ook niet heel hygiënisch
