Pros:

Without exaggeration: it is a lovely place to stay. Beautiful view of the lake and the lovely garden full of birds. The owner and his staff are very helpful. A trip through a National Park or a boat trip on the lake. It can all be arranged. The rooms are beautiful, luxurious enough. The breakfast and dinner were delicious. They have a great cook. If you want a good driver and excellent guide, ask for Pusa. He showed us very nice places and he spotted a leopart !! Thank you for the good care.

Power cut with no backup generator to keep A/C and basic facilities running. Very expensive accommodation and food, the slowest service we ever experienced. Bad lighting

Not bad and place good to have Safari
Pros:

This is a small nice place. Very near to the lake. Lovely room, cool enough.And very prepared breakfast.

Cons:

However as hotel owner is not stay at the hotel. Staff should talk with owner everything, so we have to wait wait and wait to get the reply. It takes time. And also there are many many flies outside. You may see many geckos out side also.

Marvelous decoration
Pros:

One of the best places, if not the best, in our travel to Sri Lanka. It is really a boutique hotel. Very unique in its marvelous decoration. We took the room in the second floor. A very spacious room with an extraordinary wide balcony. The service is excellent. Breakfast was good.
Don't miss this place.

Cons:

None

Assolutamente consigliato
Pros:

Boutique Hotel che ti sorprenderà perché va oltre le tue aspettative.
Ottimo il rapporto qualità prezzo.
Soluzione perfetta per chi vuole fare il Safari nel parco Nazionale di Yala.
Un po’ lunghi i tempi per la prima colazione ma comunque buona.

Could be better
Pros:

The room was very spacious and clean. You can tell a lot of love has gone into making it look good. If you are making an overnight stop for a safari it can do just that but there is nothing within walking distance and is very isolated. The staff member spoke very little English and we asked for coffee before our safari at 5 am and he did not wake until 4.55 so no time.

Cons:

Nothing to do
