Pros:

El personal muy atento y amable durante toda la estancia.
Irika y su compañero nos han tratado muy bien.
El hotel está a 5 minutos en coche del Lyon rock y cerca de algunos restaurantes. Sin embargo el hotel está en plena naturaleza.

Cons:

El baño se podría mejorar. Así como el cierre de puertas y ventanas.

Great place to stay but make sure you are not in a ground floor room by the pool
Pros:

The location, the pool and the friendly staff.

Cons:

The 2 ground floor rooms in the wooden section of the property. You could hear everything up stairs and with people getting up early for Lion Rock there was no chance of a full nights sleep

Pros:

Posto perfetto in cui alloggiare in mezzo alla giungla di Sigiriya, piscina e camera pulita dotata di tutti i comfort, stile casa sull’albero!
Ottima colazione con piatti tipici dello Sri Lanka, frutta fresca e i classici pane tostato e frittate. Staff gentile e disponibile

Relax
Pros:

Staff molto gentile, disponibile e sorridente.
Camera spaziosa e molto ordinata, con un bellissimo atrio sulla piscina.
Colazione buona e abbondante.
Posto tranquillo.

Cons:

Ci è piaciuta comunque, ma la piscina necessiterebbe di una pulizia più frequente.
Dalla stanza al piano terra dove eravamo alloggiati si sentono moltissimo gli ospiti del piano superiore, ogni passo e ogni movimento sembra amplificato.

Pros:

Die kleine Anlage mit ihren drei Häusern und dem Pool sind wunderschön und die Gartenanlage sehr gepflegt. Lage zum Sigiriya Felsen war perfekt.

Die Größe unseres Zimmers hat mir auch sehr gut gefallen. Jedoch nicht die Sauberkeit.

Cons:

Frühstück war sehr dürftig. Wir hatten manchmal kein fließend Wasser und es gab ohnehin nur kaltes Wasser. Einmal fiel auch der Strom aus und das Zimmer war generell nicht sehr sauber. Für den (für Sri Lankische Verhältnisse) hohen Preis hätte ich mir zumindest fließend Wasser gewünscht.

Great location, excellent service, lovely pool
Pros:

We loved the pool, breakfast was delicious and the staff were excellent. We saw lots of wildlife (mongoose, chipmunks, squirrel, lizards).

Location was close for grabbing a tuk tuk to Lion Rock etc. as well as restaurants.

Cons:

The showers were a little on the cool side but refreshing after a hot day.

Pros:

La posizione

Cons:

Colazione deludente.
Stanza cambiata per invasione di formiche in una peggiore.
La nuova stanza era senza acqua calda (scoperto la sera).

Avremmo apprezzato anche un trattamento diverso visto i disagi.

Incomodo
Pros:

La habitación muy bien. La piscina un plus y el resto de personal muy bien.

Cons:

Había un trabajador más mayor que nos perseguia, se quedaba en nuestra terraza y llego a ponerse en la puerta de nuestra habitación para ver dentro. Nos llego a hacer fotos sin permiso y decir que eran para su album de españolas. Incluso exigiendo que le dieramos un cigarro.

Nous remercions particulièrement les deux personnes sur place qui nous ont accueillis chaleureusement. Ils étaient aimables, souriants et très serviables ! Bravo à eux !!
