A beautiful lake front spot with welcoming hosts and delicious food.
Pros:

This is a beautiful location right on the lake. There are plenty of outdoor spaces to sit and enjoy the view. The food was delicious. Gamini drove us around when he could to show the sites of the area.

Cons:

That we couldn’t stay longer!

Pros:

Spacious room, perfect cleanliness, lovely food and the wind over the lake, just as the name says, glorious to feel. We had been a little too warm the preceding days, the wind was a delight. Just like the view over the lake from the breakfast tree house. Gamini was efficient helpfulness itself in organising our plans, including the complex things, like taking 2 Jeeps of local students into Minneriya. Easy access to the park, town, dance performance at the Cultural Centre, and Ritigala Park. (And for Aussies etc who don't know, a large double bed in Sri Lanka is our King size.)

Cons:

Nothing.

Pros:

Ubytovali jsme se ve 3 pokojích, celkem 5 osob.
Byli jsme velmi spokojeni ve všech směrech. Majitelé byli velmi milí a ochotní.
Nabízeli servírovat jídlo buď ve venkovní jídelně nebo na pěkné netradiční vyhlídce s výhledem na jezero.
Porce jídla byly velké a jídlo kvalitní.
Pokoje čisté a prostorné s čistou voňavou koupelnou.

Cons:

Opravdu mne nic nenapadá. Všechny naše požadavky majitel beze zbytku vyplnil. Umožnil nám dřívější check-in i pozdější check-out.

View out over a lily pond type lake.

Good out door sitting areas

Nice walk to town (about 1.9km) via a country lane beside the lake.

Cons:

Everything was good.

Úžasné
Pros:

V tomto ubytování jsem byla maximálně spokojená. Všechno bylo dokonale čisté, prostorné a žádný hmyz. Majitelé jsou neuvěřitelně vstřícní, milí a pohostinní lidé, kteří se o nás skvěle starali po celou dobu pobytu. Chtěla bych napsat i nějakou konstruktivní kritiku, aby byla recenze vyvážená, ale upřímně mě nenapadá vůbec nic, co by se dalo vytknout. Vše bylo perfektní. Určitě doporučuji! S majitelem se za dobré peníze dá domluvit na tuktuk, výlety a zprostředkování safary se slony. Okolí je kouzelné. Každý má vlastní terasu s výhledem na jezero, které je výborné pro milovníky ptáků. A ve společné venkovní kuchyňce (lednička, varná konvice, umyvadlo) je neustále k dispozici pitná voda.

Soggiorno perfetto
Pros:

Non ci sono parole per descrivere la gentilezza e l’accoglienza di Demini e della sua adorabile moglie. Mi hanno fatto sentire come a casa! La colazione è ottima e abbondante e anche la cena è stata squisita. Si può mangiare guardando il lago, tra i rumori della natura e la sera c’è un tramonto fantastico. Gli alloggi sono confortevoli e puliti, insomma tutto perfetto!

Havre de paix
Pros:

L emplacement près du lac, mais près de Habarana aussi
Le petit déjeuner (copieux et savoureux) dans la cabane avec la vue sur le lac
Les hôtes, tellement gentils et attentionnés

Cons:

Intéressant si vous souhaitez être accompagnés dans vos excursions a prix correct... Mais si vous ne le souhaitez pas, dites le clairement

“Wonderful stay with great breakfast, warm hosts, and a calm, scenic location.”
Pros:

“My wife and I stayed at Lake Wind Homestay for 2 days, and we had a wonderful experience. The breakfast was excellent and prepared exactly to our preferences. The location is beautiful—surrounded by trees and right in front of a lake, creating a calm and peaceful atmosphere. Mr. Gamini and his wife provided outstanding service; they were incredibly polite, warm, and generous throughout our stay. This is one of the best guest houses I have stayed at so far, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.”

Pros:

The location of this property is absolutely stunning... You can hear flocks and flocks of birds calling on the lake as the sun begins to rise. The family of this homestay was incredibly accomodating, setting us up with everything we needed. Fantastic and filling breakfast/dinner. Organised safari guides for us and was also available to transport us via Tuktuk to close locations. Simply incredible, and the neighbourhood this property is located in is totally worth exploring - lots of different birds and animals to run into. If I have the opportunity, I will come back to stay one day.

Cons:

Honestly, nothing. It felt like a once in a lifetime experience.
