Pros:

Teil vom Frühstück war super. Der Besitzer ist echt freundlich und bietet auch echt sehr gute Surf Stunden an und das zu einem guten Preis.

Cons:

Am Ende des Aufenthaltes haben wir mehr gezahlt als das was auf booking stand. Also denken wir, dass wir abgezogen worden sind. Das Wasser, welches wir nicht einmal getrunken haben, ist auch berechnet worden.
Es gab ein sehr leckeren Mango Smoothie zur Begrüßung, der aber Eiswürfel hatte, bei denen man vorsichtig sein muss aus welchem Wasser die gemacht worden sind.

Non volevamo più andarcene <3
Pros:

ci siamo sentiti a casa! Sanku e la sua famiglia ci hanno fatto sentire super accolti, dovevamo stare 3 giorni alla fine abbiamo prolungato e siamo stati una settimana! Colazioni sempre diverse e buonissime (comunque se avete preferenze potete chiederglielo senza problemi), abbiamo anche cenato due volte lì ed era tutto super buono (il padre è uno chef). Abbiamo poi fatto anche qualche lezione di surf con Sanku siccome è un insegnante e ci siamo trovati davvero bene. Anche moglie e figli adorabili :)

Cons:

Nulla <3

Hiriketiya’s hidden gem
Pros:

Lovely family, nice spacious room in a quieter area while still only a 10 minute walk into Hiriketiya beach area, and the breakfast is delicious!

В целом все было вполне неплохо.
Pros:

Дружелюбные хозяева. Есть где оставить личный транспорт. Большой плюс, что хозяин обучает сёрфу. Не пришлось искать сёрф-школу. Номер достаточно просторный, но не без нюансов. Опишу ниже. Ночевали 2 ночи. Второй завтрак был получше, так скажем более европейский.

Cons:

Было бы неплохо организовать в гостевой зоне постоянный доступ к чайнику и бутилированной воде, чтобы не бегать и не искать хозяев по дому, чтобы попросить кипятка. И лейка от душа в номере требует внимания мастера )

Beautiful, calm and friendly home!
Pros:

Sanku and his family provided a beautiful, relaxing, clean haven. Slightly outside of the hustle and bustle of the main town (which suited us perfectly) but only a 10 minute walk to the beach through the jungle lanes and town.
Sanku’s wife and mother keep a beautiful home and cooked some truly delicious traditional Sri Lankan food for us. The breakfast is generously sized and different each day.
Sanku was incredibly helpful in sorting surf board rentals and organising transport for us. He recommended two local restaurants, Dahami and Priyanka, which were both amazing food and amazing value.
The two cute puppies are an added bonus, we loved them.
We can’t wait to come back and stay with Sanku and his family again.
Thank you 🙏🏼

Cons:

Nothing - it was all great.
