I really liked it but came away very tired
Pros:

Family, food and location were amazing. No fault
If you sleep light this road is busy all the time
I fell in love with the dogs but they were poorly caged no light..no blankets no bed this caused me distress and was trying to help them but asking let them out for a run…they cannot be in cage all day…!

This was a personal thing.

Dream nest was great…really was. For me just too much noise.

Cons:

The noise.

Pros:

Perfektní pobyt v horách s výjimečným přístupem personálu
Náš pobyt v Elle byl opravdu skvělý a velkou zásluhu na tom měl úžasný personál. Byli maximálně ochotní, milí a vždy připraveni pomoci. Cokoliv jsme potřebovali, okamžitě zařídili – poradili nám s výlety, zavolali kam bylo potřeba, pomohli s organizací dopravy a také nám bez problémů zajistili půjčení skútru. Díky nim bylo všechno jednoduché a bez stresu.
Snídaně byla výborná, bohatá a každý den jiná. Podávala se na balkoně s nádherným výhledem na hory a okolní přírodu. Během snídaně jsme mohli pozorovat opice, veverky a další zvířata, což vytvořilo opravdu jedinečnou atmosféru. Člověk si tam připadal jako součást přírody.
Celkově jsme byli maximálně spokojeni, cítili jsme se vítaní a pobyt bychom bez váhání doporučili.

Cons:

Jako drobné mínusy bych zmínil, že voda ve sprše byla spíše vlažná než horká a postel byla pro mě trochu kratší, takže mi asi 20 cm přečnívaly nohy.

Pros:

オーナー夫妻がとても親切。コロンボまで移動したい旨も相談したらバスを手配してくれた。2泊したが、チェックアウト日は朝7時に出ないといけなかったが、奥さんが朝食のサンドイッチを作って持たせてくれた。その他朝ごはん、夕ごはんも奥さんのごはんを食べたが特にフライドライスが絶品だった。一人旅だったので、写真も撮ってくれて、すぐWhatsAppで送ってくれたのが嬉しかった。日本に帰国したら教えてねとMessageもくれるなど、本当にホスピタリティが素晴らしかったです。

Cons:

特にないけれど、お湯はぬるかった。エラは涼しいので少し寒かったけど、それを抜きにしてもとても満足できる宿だった。

Pros:

Fijne locatie en heerlijk bed. De mensen zijn erg vriendelijk.

Als je een lichte slaper bent kan je wat last hebben van de weg en de lichte gordijnen.
