It was nice and served its purpose.
Pros:

Great breakfast.

Cons:

The location is very far away from any interesting natural or cultural sights. Car or scooter are a must here.

A great stay in a nice environment with pool and friendly staff
Pros:

The pool and the gardens are super nice ! The room was clean and comfortable and the manager let us stay until we were ready to go to the airport, which means we were able to enjoy our day and come back for a shower and a change of clothes !!!! Thank you so much !

Cons:

The stay is really good value for money but the only dinner choice offered was 5000 roupies / persons which was too expensive for us ! we would have loved to have dinner there if there had been other options !!

A lovely little oasis to stay at. Mahesh and his wife made us feel so welcome and comfortable.
Pros:

The breakfast provided was plentiful and nourishing, consisting of fruit, butter, jam, toast and a crepe. The owner and his wife could not do enough for us as one in our party was not well. The owner transported the spouse to and from the hospital to see his wife which beyond what is expected from a host. They both went above and beyond to satisfy our needs during our stay. Our bungalow had air-conditioning which was greatly appreciated. The hosts provided a traditional Sri Lankan evening meal that was one of the best meals we had in Sri Lanka. The gardens at the resort were beautiful, particularly in the evening when they were all lit up. The property had a pool and was very relaxing with staff that were friendly accommodating.

Cons:

All good.

Mauvaise expérience
Pros:

Joli jardin, bien entretenu et bien éclairé la nuit.

Cons:

Manque de communication. Établissement un peu « perdu » (tout dépend de ce que l’on recherche).
Eau de la piscine trouble, carreaux coupants, abords glissants. Environ 25 minutes de l’aéroport en voiture, pas de service de navette mis à disposition contrairement à d’autres établissements. Le prix proposé pour le service est élevé : plus du double d'un taxi. Pas pratique pour un départ la nuit. Extra charge pour le staff quand on commande au restaurant…. et tarifs des boissons excessifs. Nous sommes partis avant la fin.

Tolles, gepflegtes Gelände zum Entspannen vor oder nach dem Flug
Pros:

Tolles Gelände, man kann am Start oder am Ende einer SriLanka Reise hier gut entspannen. Sehr schöner Pool, grünes Gelände und freundliches Personal. Das Curry am Abend war sehr lecker. Die Zimmer sind recht modern und sauber. Das Frühstück wurde super auf unsere Wünsche angepasst.

Cons:

Die Lage es ist abgelegen, aber mit TukTuk ist auch ein Supermarkt gut erreichbar. Das WLAN hat leider nur in unserem zweiten Zimmer funktioniert. Ein paar Stühle sind defekt und ein paar Sonnenliegen wären schön.

Pros:

We were a party of 6 and when one of our group fell ill they had a room ready for an earlier check-in. The owners are very friendly and accommodating and go beyond what is expected of hosts. Breakfast was very nice. Accommodation and facilities gave a good vibe.
They arranged for our taxi to the airport which was right on time and only a 20 minute trip.

Cons:

No kettle in room
