Volvería a reservar con ellos
Pros:

Nos alojamos en Seyara una noche para ir a visitar la antigua ciudad de Polonnaruwa. Es verdad que las instalaciones están un poco antiguas, pero limpias y bien cuidadas. La piscina está muy guay. Lo mejor, sin duda, el precio (muy barato) y sobretodo el trato personal. Nos cayó una chupa de agua tremenda cuando íbamos a cenar y, al llegar, aunque habíamos dicho que no queríamos cenar, nos la prepararon y estaba riquísima. Estuvieron siempre pendientes de que estuviésemos cómodos y nos dieron todas las facilidades. Un 10.

Ich habe mich wohl gefühlt, vor allem wegen dem Personal
Pros:

Sehr freundliches Personal das einem bei allem hilft, grosser Pool, ruhig.
Lage etwas ausserhalb, man kann aber ein Velo im Hotel mieten und ist rasch bei den Tempelanlagen.

Cons:

Ich hatte ein Zimmer mit Ventilator. Das Zimmer hat gemuffelt (Schimmel?), die zweite Nacht haben sie mir dann die Aircondition gegeben, das war dann besser.

Pros:

Amazing hospitality from the owners. Went above and beyond to accommodate us and ensured we had everything we needed. We felt well looked after.
Pool was great and much enjoyed as the weather was hot. A great little place to enjoy the ancient city from. Excellent value for money.

A good base to visit the ancient sites
Pros:

Helpful, kind and friendly staff who gave us good advice about visiting ancient sites and helped us catch the bus on the main road. Amazing food, including breakfast and dinner. Spacious room was cool to escape the heat of the day and pool shaded for a lot of the day.

Cons:

All good

Gracias Seyara! Precio calidad fantástico. La piscina es un paraíso tropical, muchísimos pájaros por la mañana.
La habitación grande, la cama comodísima, y el balcón muy agradable.

Pros:

Tout était vraiment super ! Les chambres, la piscine, le personnel, la cuisine.
Nous étions 5 adultes et 3 enfants, nous avons tous passé un merveilleux séjour de 5 nuits.
Un hôtel familial très convivial. Tout le monde était aux petits soins avec nous. On a rit... beaucoup rit !
Quelle ambiance !
Les petits déjeuners et les repas copieux et excellents.
Très proche de la cité antique et des parcs naturels, le marché local tout en couleur...
Un grand MERCI à Sympath, son épouse, sa fille, sa famille, aux cuisiniers, personnel d'entretien et à mon super pote Dilesh !
Je recommande à 300 %

Pros:

Obsługa była przemiła, najlepsza na jaką trafiliśmy na Sri Lance. Pomogli nam w wielu sprawach także niedotyczących pobytu. Bardzo dobrze rozmawiali po angielsku. Nie mieliśmy żadnego poczucia, że chcą od nas wyciągnąć więcej pieniędzy. Bardzo bogate i lokalne śniadanie. Basen dostępny i czysty.

Cons:

Pokój i łazienka mogłyby być ładniejsze, ale obsługa to całkowicie rekompensuje.

Pros:

Joli jardin et piscine, personnels agreables et arangeants. Nous sommes arrivés plutôt que prevu. Ils ont fait le nécessaire afin de nous donner des chambres rapidement. Restaurant de bonne qualité avec un bon rapport qualité/prix. On déplore le manque de finissions et le viellissement de l'établissement.
