Mooie locatie met vriendelijke eigenaar
Pros:

De eigenaar is super aardig en helpt waar nodig. De locatie is fijn en de safari geregeld door de locatie was heel gaaf. De locatie heeft een mooie tuin.

Cons:

De kamer is vrij simpel, maar prijs/kwaliteit is echt in zeer goede verhouding.

Pros:

El hotel estaba bien, muy economico la verdad, muy sencillo, las habitaciones algo calurosas, per el personal fue muy amable y nos hicieron un pequeño tour por el lago de delante donde pudimos ver mucha fauna.

Cons:

Habia una habitación que era muy calurosa, por suerte pedimos el cambio y nos la cambiaron sin ningun problema.

Pros:

Tolle Lage direkt am See

Cons:

Statt einer free walking tour wurde ich an einen "Freund" verwiesen der mir mit dem Motorrad die Umgebung gezeigt hat. Ansich schöne interessante Umgebung, aber ich habe mich mit dem Mann alleine sehr unwohl gefühlt und würde das als alleinreisende Frau nicht nochmal so machen

Perfekt
Pros:

Der Besitzer war super hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend! Nicht nur das wir eine Extra kostenlose Tour mit Fledermäusen um den See bekommen haben, er hat uns auch schnell zum Geldautomaten gefahren. Wir haben auch die Safari Tour über ihn gebucht - die war super :)

Gayan el mejor anfitrión de Sri Lanka
Pros:

El dueño es muy amable, para el precio que tiene, te busca tuk tuk para moverte, nos gestiono un safari por yala park, y nos hizo un visita guiada por la zona, que es un lago con aves, cocodrilos y nos llevo a ver los murcielagos de la fruta. Totalmente recomendable.

Cons:

La única pega el calor dentro de la habitación, aunque había ventilador y aire, la segunda noche abrimos la ventana para que entrara el fresco y mejor (eso si hacerlo con la luz apagada por los insectos, aunque hay mosquitera en la cama)

Pros:

房东非常好，每天都提供果汁，傍晚还有免费的游览（最重要的是我看到了仓鸮，我最喜欢的鸟之一）。临走那天房东的父亲还骑摩托把我送到车站，真的非常感谢。

Cons:

很可惜房间没有空调，晚上仍然很闷热，我几乎无法入睡。

Pros:

Eine der besten und preiswertesten Unterkünfte die wir in Sri Lanka hatten. Der Gastgeber war super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Er kann einem viel über Pflanzen und Tiere erzählen. Die Kommunikation funktionierte einwandfrei über WhatsApp. Direkt am See gelegen. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber. Nur zu empfehlen!

Pros:

Wir wurden sehr herzlich von Gayan empfangen. Die Unterkunft liegt direkt an einem See an dem Gayan auch eine kostenlose Tour anbietet bei der man viele Tiere zu sehen bekommt. Wir waren 2 Nächte dort um eine Safari zu machen.

Está bien
Pros:

Las dos habitaciones eran cómodas y bastante amplias. La zona común y el jardín era agradables, así como la ubicación al lado del lago. El propietario nos hizo un tour gratis por el lago, contándonos cosas de la fauna del lugar.

Cons:

En una de las habitaciones hacia mucho calor.

Beautiful stay at the lake with an exceptional host
Pros:

I can just say, we loved everything about our stay at this place. Gayan, the host was incredible - we got a welcome drink, an evening safari tour with sunset watching at the beautiful lake right in front of the house, and he even made us morning tea when we had to leave at 4:30 for our Safari Tour in Yala National Park. The service this host provides is exceptional and he is unbelievably friendly and happy to help you and organize everything for you. He drove us also to the bus station after checkout.
The rooms are spacious and very nice and the beds are equipped with Mosquito nets. We even got a second fan in our room as it was almost 40 degrees during the time we were there. It has a nice lounge area and a little beautiful garden. There’s nothing that we missed. We just wished we could have stayed longer.
Thank you Gayan for this unforgettable stay.

Pros:

The host was wonderful! She welcomed us with tea and fresh pineapple juice, and even offered us a free tour of the lake, where we got to see a variety of animals. She also organized an amazing safari for us — many thanks to her friend, the driver, who gave us a truly wow experience! Highly recommended!

Pros:

The place is beautiful with a lot of plants everywhere around. And the service was incredible!! He took us on a free tour around the lake to see crocodiles, bats and owls. He also organized us the safari to yala for a good price. And on the last day a part from a tasty breakfast he explained us all the plants and fruits on his ground and we tried a lot of tasty fruits! Very recommendable!!
