Pros:

Accueil excellent, le propriétaire est disponible et prêt à aider. Il m'a réservé un scooter à un prix correct et ainsi j'ai pu visiter différents sites (Bouddha sculpté d'ans le granit, magnifique. Cascade impressionnante).
L'établissement fait restaurant, bonne cuisine et petit-déjeuner j'ai demandé petit-déjeuner Sri-Lankais excellent et copieux. Je recommande très vivement.

Cons:

C'est loin de tout mais comme il fait restaurant à prix très correct, pas de soucis pour le dîner et le petit-déjeuner.

Удачи и процветания !
Pros:

У нас был отдельный домик - было чисто, белое белье, никто не докучал. Можно заказать обед и ужин. Хозяин молодой парень. В душевой только мыло, но это в основном везде так на Шри Ланке ( Планировали на ночь, но остались на две. Есть балкончик для времяпрепровождения вечером. По крыше гоняют бурундуки, но нас это не смущало, спали как убитые ) Кондиционер работает исправно.

Cons:

Берите именно домик !

Pros:

Basic rooms with attached bathroom and air conditioning. Food was average. Really worthy for price we paid

Cons:

As it is located close to a small jungle, at night small insects are abandoned outside the room. But if you keep the room door closed, there is nothing to worry

A Lovely Stay with a Touch of Nature
Pros:

Tamarind Tree House is truly a hidden gem for anyone looking to escape into nature without sacrificing comfort. The room we stayed in was beautiful—spacious, cozy, and had a charming view of a small waterfall right outside the window. Waking up to the sound of flowing water was incredibly calming and made the whole experience feel serene and refreshing.

The service was warm and attentive, with the staff going out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Their hospitality really made a difference and added a personal touch to the stay.

That said, a little extra attention to maintenance would take this place from great to exceptional. Some areas could use a bit of upkeep to match the overall charm of the property. But honestly, it didn’t take away much from the experience—we still had a fantastic time.

Highly recommended for couples, solo travelers, or anyone looking to unwind close to nature!
