A lovely hidden gem!
Pros:

We loved our stay here! Fabulous location with accommodations in stunning surroundings. The food was delicious, great breakfast and really lovely evening meals. Most of all the hospitality from the owner and the staff was the best we experienced in Sri Lanka. I would highly recommend staying here.

Cons:

Nothing - it was fantastic

Very caring, laid back, easy.
Pros:

From Australia! Very comfortable and the best owner/manager who helped us from our arrival until we departed. Special thanks for caring about our son’s Chronic pain, recommending a doctor to help with herbal medicine, and setting a visit 💗💗. It helped us get home and also has helped ease the concern. Very helpful booking tuk tuk’s to local attractions. Laid back and relaxed ( reminded us of our Yala hotel). Had 6 of us in our party and well looked after. Sigayra, markets and Dambula Bhudist Cave were memorable, and village/ lake boating. Thank you.

Cons:

Nothing

Sigiriya’da konforlu bir konaklama
Pros:

Eşim ve 4,5 yaşındaki çocuğumla gittik. Tesis çok temiz ve olanakları iyiydi. Personel gayet ilgili ve yardımcıydı. Bireysel veya ailesiyle gidenlere öneririm.

Cons:

Tesiste beğenmediğim bir şey olmadı.

Väldigt mysigt och välkomnande och perfekt läge
Pros:

Frukosten var väldigt bra, kunde ha fått lite mer frukt eftersom hela trädgården var full :D Jättefin trädgård, gemytlig stämning och t.o.m. ett utegym. Vi fick väldigt bra hjälp av ägaren att boka prisvärda biltransporter, hyra cyklar etc. Nära till Lejonklippan med cykel och om vi stannat längre hade vi kunnat få tips/kartor över rundturer i området. Otroligt vackert och lugnt! Jättebra med pool även om vi inte hann använda den. Skulle gärna komma tillbaks.

Brilliant place !
Pros:

Beautiful and peaceful location, comfortable room and bed, most helpful owner who takes the time to provide advice and insight. The pool was lovely too. The free bicycles provided meant that we could cycle on peaceful lanes around the lakes, see local village life, so much wildlife and see more off the beaten track: our most special time in Sri Lanka !

Cons:

Nothing

Heerlijk!
Pros:

Heerlijke plek! Fijn zwembad. Zelfs een fitness! Ontzettende vriendelijke eigenaar die ons veel heeft geholpen en gezellige een praatje komt maken maar zich ook absoluut niet aandringt. Wij zouden hier zeker terugkomen!

A brilliant gem of a hotel! The staff make this hotel, the host especially is incredibly knowledgeable, gracious and generous. We loved our stay here, especially the safari that the hotel arranged for us and the special meal they put on for New Year’s Eve. Definitely recommend a stay here!

An oasis of kindness
Pros:

An unexpected haven owned and watched over by the very kind Sanjay. It’s a quiet, well resourced, well looked after oasis close to the magical Lion Rock.

We were shown great kindness and offered fabulous experiences to visit the local lagoon, have a cookery demo and lunch, and free bicycles to explore the area.

Reliably hot water, great breakfast (which was kindly offered to us for free), welcome swimming pool and spacious room.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Pros:

מיקום טוב בתוך סיגיריה, אבל היינו עם נהג, אז... יש המון טבע מסביב והבריכה ממש שווה. הבעלים היה מאוד נחמד והשתדל לעזור לנו עם כל דבר, במיוחד עם ארוחה מיוחדת שהיינו צריכים.

Cons:

החדרים נחמדים, אבל בגלל המיקום בטבע היה צריך לסגור דלתות וחלונות ולמנוע מיתושים להיכנס וגם לא היה באזור החדרים wifi. חדר הקבלה ואיפה שאוכלים הריח לא טוב...

C’est simplement délicieux
Pros:

Adorable hôtel dirigé par Sanji, son propriétaire, francophone, très présent et qui règle tous les problèmes. Il organise de balades aux alentours. L’hôtel est situé dans une propriété très fleurie avec pleine d’oiseaux. C’est simplement délicieux. Il y a un restaurant sur place où on mange bien. Un grand merci a Sanji et son équipe.

Cons:

Les petits problème de connection wifi dans la chambre qui sont en train d'être règlés.
