Pros:

Personal war sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich. Zimmer sehr geräumig und Betten sind sehr bequem. Frühstück war sehr gut und umfangreich.

Cons:

Lage und Pool hat nicht unseren Erwartungen entsprochen. Die Bilder haben uns einen größeren Pool versprochen. Wir haben nicht die Unterkunft bekommen die wir bei der Buchung erwartet haben. Im Outdoor Badezimmer war kein Insektenschutz vorhanden.

Pros:

We cannot praise Shashika and Athula enough for creating a little piece of heaven in Habarana.
Yes, the rooms are amazing, the facilities carefully designed by an architect, and you feel like you are living inside the forest, but without their relentless effort and hospitality the place would not be what it is.
We've traveled around the island and this is by far the best breakfast you will ever have. Everything is freshly prepared - you will always get a giant fruit bowl, followed by a main course that changes every day (pancakes, french toast, traditional sri lankan cuisine ...).
I highyl recommend this hotel.

Super locatie, accommodatie en personeel!
Pros:

Het personeel is echt super! Heel aardig en behulpzaam.
Accommodatie is echt heel mooi en ruim. Je hebt echt het gevoel alsof je midden in jungle zit, terwijl je op loopafstand van het centrum bent.
Ontbijt is erg goed!
Zwembad is niet groot, maar schoon en heerlijk om af te koelen.

Cons:

Enige kleine minpuntje voor onze dochter was dat het opklapbed echt een dun matras heeft, en zij heeft dus wat minder comfortabel geslapen.
Maar dit is echt te verwaarlozen bij alle pluspunten!!

Expérience fabuleuse dans la jungle
Pros:

Très contents de cette villa qui nous a permis de loger en famille grâce aux chambres communicantes. La petite piscine était super, largement suffisante pour se rafraichir. On a adoré se sentir plongés dans la jungle et observer la faune depuis la belle terrasse : plein de singes super drôles, des petits écureuils adorables, plein d'oiseaux, une mangouste... C'était fantastique.
Et les chambres sont très confortables.
Les PDJ sont très copieux, avec des spécialités Sri lankaises différentes chaque jour.

Cons:

Rien.

Wundervoller erster Stop unserer Sri Lanka Reise
Pros:

Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr bemüht! Shashika war für jede Frage die wir hatten für uns da. Er hat sich sogar sehr liebevoll um unsere Kinder gekümmert. Es wurden unsere Ausflüge organisiert und das Frühstück ist einfach Klasse. Jeden Tag bekamen wir was anderes und es war seeeeehr lecker. Wir kommen aufjedenfall irgendwann wieder!

Cons:

Da gibt es nichts zum aussetzen.

Lieu exceptionnel, au milieu de la nature, tout en restant proche de la route principale. Personnel d'une grande gentillesse, merci beaucoup à nos deux hôtes pour la qualité de leur accueil. Excellent petit déjeuner. Chambre de qualité. Petite piscine rafraîchissante. Un lieu hors du temps.

Lovely location and concept but quite basic accommodation.
Pros:

The location of this place is superb, just on the edge of Habarana, set in a small patch of forest, with monkeys, birds and other wildlife all around. Although only a minute from the main road, it feels like you are immersed in nature. The accommodation is essentially a tree house with a plunge pool below it - best appreciated in the morning to avoid the mosquitoes.

Cons:

It felt a bit more home-stay than hotel. There is no reception as such - you are met in the dining shelter down the track from the road. Only breakfast is available so for dinner we walked only 5 minutes to the wonderful “Chill and Swing” restaurant (highly recommended, amazing food and atmosphere). It isn’t really true that it has room service - it has a couple of menu cards for local restaurants that will deliver. There are no proper curtains through the morning light filtered through the trees didn’t wake us too early. The air conditioning struggled to lower the temperature and the fan in the room was noisy and temperamental so one of us found it hard to sleep. It was all perfectly clean but basic. Including hand-soap next to the sinks would be an easy improvement to make.
