アットホームな宿
Pros:

スタッフの方々が本当に親切です。ホテルというよりアットホームな宿でした。サファリツアー参加の都合上、食事をホテルで取ることができなかったのですが、サファリツアーから戻ったあと、ツアーで配られた朝食をダイニングで気持ち良く食事させていただきました。

Cons:

Wi-Fi環境が厳しかったです。

20 Min. vom Yala Narionalpark entfernt - tolles Essen - nettes Personal
Pros:

Sehr nettes Personal, welches bei allem weiterhilft. Wir haben diese Unterkunft aufgrund der Lage gewählt, da wir Nahe am Eingang zum Yala Natiinalpark sein wollten. Bereits um 04.30 Uhr gings los mit der Safari und wir waren Jeep No.1 in der langen Kolonne. Wir haben direkt zu Beginn Leoparden gesehen (2 Meter von uns entfernt!) - hat sich somit 100% gelohnt, obwohl man uns im Hotel etwas verwirrt angeschaut hat,als wir meldeten, dass unser Guude schon so früh los will.

Vom Hotel haben wir Sandwiches, Bananen und Wasser für die Safari bekommen. Mega toll!
Das inbegriffene Frühstück war an den anderen Tagen super (sehr üppig) und wir hatten auch zwei sehr gute Abendessen (Roti, Paratha, Curry, Kartoffeln). Alles frisch zubereitet und mega lecker.

Die gute Seele des Hotels ist "Shanti". Sie hat uns und vorallem unsere Kinder so warmherzig umsorgt. Wir werden Sie lange in Erinnerung behalten.

Wichtig: frühzeitig melden, wenn man dort essen will - der Küchenchef braucht mind. 2h Vorlaufzeit. Auch Frühstück genau vorbesprechen, damit alles klar ist.

In Gehdistanz gibt es das "Cafe Culture", wo man etwas essen kann und einen kleinen Laden, für das Nötigste. Direkt an der Strasse gibt es das "Laama Spa", wo meine Frau eine sehr gute Massage hatte (nicht billig aber lohnt sich).

Unser Fanilienzimmer war sehr geräumig und das Bad war auch gross. Betten sind gut.

Wir hatten manchmal Affen auf unserem Dach zu Besuch, was unsere Kinder freute (sind scheu und ungefährlich).

Cons:

Der Pool wirkt etwas schmuddelig und das stehende Wasser ist sehr trüb - hat uns nicht zum baden verführt. Es sind keine 5* mehr und max. knappe 4*.

Everything super! We will definitely return and highly recommend to everyone, including families.

Pros:

Krásný, velký a čistý pokoj. I koupelna, jediné mínus jsou sousedi, kteří v noci dělají neskutečný bordel - při naši návštěvě měli party. Nedalo se přes hluk spát. Zaměstnanci naši stížnost hned řešili, nedá se jim v tomto ohledu nic vytknout. Pouze pokud vědí, že mají problémy se sousedi častěji, řešila bych to. U nás pomohl až příjezd místní policie. Hotel je ve velmi krásném prostředí a rozhodně ho doporučuji, pokud chcete navštívit národní park Yala. Bylo by opravdu škoda, aby neukáznění sousedi kazili tomuto hotelu pověst.

Cons:

Sousedi.

I’d stay again
Pros:

This place is amazing. The staff are the nicest people and really make your stay. We arrived late and they still welcomed us with fresh juice and hand towels to freshen up. The breakfast and dinner were so tasty, and our room was lovely and spacious. I would recommend staying here to my friends and we were sad our stay was so short.

It's a perfect property to stay for families who want to visit the nearby Yala National Park.
Pros:

We liked the the facilities, especially the pool and the rooms. They were all were very good. The service was superb and the staff was really welcoming and helpful. We had dinner included and we ordered an extra lunch. With each meal the bar was raised and it was the best food we've got in Sri Lanka.
