Pros:

Ubytování v malé rybářské vesničce přímo pod majákem, který je nejjižnějším místem Sri Lanky. K dispozici jsme měli kuchyňku i lednici a mají přímo i restauraci a vaří dobře, takže vlastně vše na jednom místě. Večer klid a romatika. Oddělené posezení pro hosty a návštěvníky restaurace.

Cons:

Není co

Just blissful!
Pros:

We were so delighted with our stay here and it was hard to leave. The location on the lighthouse peninsula was gorgeous with a sea breeze that kept the mosquitos away. We loved the wooden decks out over the water to eat our delicious meals. The beds were comfortable and rooms look out into the water. The ac did a good job in the heat. Dilanga was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. We honestly couldn’t fault it and would love to come back again.

Cons:

I shared that a water cooler instead of bottled water would help to reduce plastic waste. But otherwise there was zero negatives and this wonderful guest house.

Pros:

Gute Lage in einer kleinen Bucht und am Leuchtturm

Cons:

Das Zimmer im Erdgeschoss riecht muffig und das Badezimmer war voller spinnennetze.Das Bett zu kurz für Personen ab 1,80m .Matratze viel zu dünn.Beim Abendessen stimmt das Preis Leistung Verhältnis nicht .Die kleine Bucht ist schön aber sehr viel Müll.

Heerlijke rustige plek, prachtig uitzicht, kamer heel mooi ingericht. Zelfs met goeie bedlampjes, goede airco, mooi linn
Pros:

Prachtig, sfeervol hotelletje aan mooie rustige baai. Hier geen ligbedjes maar vissersboten, dus heel weinig toeristen.

Cons:

Niets

Eine tolle Lage ist noch nicht alles...
Pros:

Wir hatten unsere Aufenthaltslänge geändert und waren dadurch eine Nacht weniger da. Dementsprechend ist man uns auch gegenübergetreten.

Cons:

Mit dem Hühnchen und dem Thunfisch hätte man Fensterscheiben einwerfen können, so trocken war es.
Ich hasse es normalerweise schlechte Bewertungen abzugeben ohne mit den Verantwortlichen darüber gesprochen zu haben.
Wir wurden jedoch weder nach der Qualität des Essens noch unserer Zufriedenheit gefragt, nach dem Servieren hat sich einfach keiner mehr blicken lassen.
Auf der Endabrechnung war es dennoch sorgfältig aufgeführt.
Das Restaurant nebenan hat zwei Abende sehr sehr laute Musik bis in die Nacht hinein gespielt.

Tolle Lage, tolle Aussicht in die Bucht, nahezu direkt am Leuchtturm, familiär geführt, aufmerksam aber nicht aufdringlich, wunderschöner Aufenthaltsbereich direkt an der Bucht, hilfsbereites Personal, touristisch nicht überfüllt, zweckmäßiges Zimmer mit guter Klimaanlage und zusätzlichem Ventilator. Empfehlenswert 👍🏼

Pros:

Super emplacement avec une plage presque privée fréquentée uniquement par les locaux :) ! Parfait pour ceux qui souhaitent être loin de l’animation et des villes touristiques

Lit confortable, climatisation, très propre

Et le bar/restaurant est incroyable !!

Les hôtes sont extrêmement gentils :)! Vous vous sentez comme chez vous. Ils nous ont proposé de participer à une cérémonie organisée chez eux, nous n’avions malheureusement pas le temps car nous devions nous rendre à l’aéroport mais nous aurions adoré !!

Merci 😍

Cons:

Douche froide, c’était le seul point négatif :)

Pros:

This is a beautiful accommodation right on the seafront with a small sandy beach in front. The place has been designed with great attention to detail – with swings, hammocks, sun loungers, and two small wooden terraces where you can enjoy delicious food while listening to the waves below. Dilanga is a warm and very helpful person who gave us excellent advice and assisted with all sorts of organizational matters. A wonderful place to chill and relax. We truly enjoyed our stay. Thank you again for your wonderful hospitality!

Väga meeldis, see õuala on imeline❤️
Pros:

Seal on väga armas õuekohvik! Maja taga on Light house, sinna üles vaadet nautima saab ka minna tasu eest. Majutusel on väga hea kohvi!

Cons:

Ei saa öelda et ei meeldinud, see oli meie valik, aga seal ujuda on natuke teistmoodi kui liivarannas. Rand on kivine, aga majutusel on snorgeldamiseks kõik vajalik olemas ja saab snorgeldada. Oli palju ilusaid kalu!

Pros:

Room was small and compact but clean and cosy, I didn't particularly need a big room but if that is what you are after maybe look elsewhere.
There was very little going on in the local area so changed our booking to just one night rather than two on arrival.
Also it advertises a private beach. There is definitely not a private beach, there is a very busy cove used by locals which you can access, but it's not beach or put a towel down and relax as you'll share the small space with fishing boats, local families and there is very little "beach".
Mosquito net was provided and Aircon in the room.
An awful lots of ants in the bathroom and on the balcony but otherwise the room met our needs. You can see and hear the sea from the balcony.
Host & family just left us to do our own thing which was nice, but the were friendly and extremely laid back.
