GOOD.
Pros:

The breakfast was good, but no coffee or tea was offered. That was strange.
The location is not the best, but you can get everywhere!

Cons:

This place could not be identified because there is no information anywhere that there is accommodation here.
The person welcoming the guests would still have a duty to inform them about the services provided.The location is not the best, but you can get everywhere!

Do not book..
Pros:

The golden shower in is at the moment under resrauration. That they allow people to book is a shame.. They tried to call me the same day as i arrived and had booked a close by recifence for me instead. Staff there was superfriendly but the standard was lower then i booked, they had restauration going on all weekend from early morning. All over is my booking with golden shower inn a dissapointmnent, they are not taking there buisness serious and i feel like its a scam..

A great experience!
Pros:

Not a hotel accommodation but a genuine and authentic experience. This small hotel offers what no other hotel can offer, a look into Sri Lanka familiy live, culture and cuisine. Room is great with beautifull views and having the chance to enjoy true Sri Lankan homecooking is priceless. If this is not enough, the owners are a highly educated and international experienced couple able and willing to have a real conversation, no religuous/cultural/monetary obstacles but open and honest.

Cons:

You could be afraid of the location being outside of the city center. Biggest advantage is the peace and quit (waking up with singing birds) and a PickMe is always close an takes you to the city in no time.
