Pros:

Ich hatte einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt im Silver Rail. Das Zimmer ist riesig, sehr sauber. Vom Balkon aus kann man Abends die Flughunde von ganz nah beobachten. An den Zuglärm habe ich mich schnell gewöhnt! Man kommt innerhalb von 15 Minuten zu Fuß gut nach Galle Fort.
Die Gastgeber sind überaus freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Frühstück sehr umfangreich und lecker.
Danke für die schöne Zeit bei euch!

Pros:

Lovely family, so welcoming and warm. The daughters speak English, the lady of the house cooks really well. Dinner was perfect, just as breakfast was too!

Cons:

The location is adjacent to the train track, and the trains are noisy until and start early.
But the family makes up for the discomfort of the train

Pros:

Wir hatten einen sehr angenehmen Aufenthalt. Die Familie ist unglaublich freundlich und herzlich, man fühlt sich sofort willkommen. Das Frühstück wird frisch zubereitet und ist sehr lecker, ebenso das Abendessen – alles mit viel Liebe gemacht.

Die Unterkunft war durchgehend sauber und gepflegt, und wir haben sehr gut geschlafen.

Ein kleiner Hinweis: Die Unterkunft liegt in der Nähe einer Bahnstrecke, daher kann es zeitweise etwas lauter sein. Uns persönlich hat das jedoch nicht besonders gestört.

Besonders hervorheben möchten wir die Ehrlichkeit und Hilfsbereitschaft der Familie: Unsere Tochter hatte ihre AirPods vergessen, und wir wurden direkt informiert, sodass wir sie problemlos wieder abholen konnten.

Spacious, comfortable stay
Pros:

- Spacious
- Good breakfast
- The lady and her daughter were very friendly
- No mosquitoes (thank god!)
- Wifi was okay

Cons:

- The train was really loud, however, I managed to sleep well (I must be too tired)
- There were ants on the table and chair and they could be quite aggressive and bit my legs and arms
- No shampoo or body wash other than a soap
- It would be a good choice of value if you have a companion
- A little bit walk, around 15 mins to the train station and bus station (you have to compete with cars and tuk tuks on the road)

Exceptionnel
Pros:

Très belle chambre et famille très accueillante et gentille. Le petit déjeuner (supplément) vaut largement le coup, je vous le conseille fortement, il était délicieux et en quantité gargantuesque

Cons:

Attention aux personnes voulant faire la grasse matinée, le logement est juste à coté des rails de train
