A unique Sri Lankan experience with a wonderful family.
Pros:

The family who run the property are truly special. They welcomed me as one of their own and I left feeling very grateful to have met them. The property itself is great, simple but comfortable and very clean. Great location too.

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

This place is so valuable for that amount they charge. The owner is so kind. And its walking distance to the beach and all the restaurants. Its very clean and AC works well. Theres a teacoffee area and also a small kitchen. A fridge to everything in the private area. I would like to rate this place 10/10. Big rooms and big bath rooms. Theres a heater too in the bathroom.

Cons:

I liked everything.

Zeer vriendelijke familie
Pros:

Zeer vriendelijke mensen, heerlijk zelf gemaakt ontbijt (met lokaal eten wat we nog niet eerder gehad hebben), dichtbij strand en alle restaurants. Ik kan het iedereen aanraden.

Cons:

Douche voor toilet en wastafel zoals op veel plekken in Sri Lanka is wat onhandig

The most comfortable and modern accommodation during my visit to Sri Lanka!
Pros:

Everything was excellent. The stay was clean/comfortable with modern A/C, the location was near beaches and quiet, the staff were very hospitable providing a coconut drink on arrival, cute bedding, water bottles provided, laundry was easy, and the family/owner went above and beyond to welcome us and help us feel comfortable! We really appreciate the prompt communications and flexibility with our stay!

Pros:

5 min Fußweg vom Strand, super süße Cafés in der Nähe, netter Gastgeber und wir konnten hier für wenig Geld Wäsche waschen.

Cons:

Ist keine Luxusunterkunft aber man hat alles was man braucht. Nebenan wird regelmäßig Müll verbrannt aber dafür kann der Gastgeber nichts.

Nothing really, I would definitely stay here again and recommend to others

Pros:

De airco en de grootte van de kamer.

Cons:

Onze kamer was zo ongeveer onderdeel van de woonkamer. Daarnaast werd dagelijks via ons balkon naar de badkamer gelopen waardoor wij weinig privacy hadden. Onze badkamer was ongeveer een geheel met dat van de familie waardoor je alles in hun badkamer kon horen. Verder is op foto’s ook niet goed te zien dat het nog in aanbouw is waardoor je de hele dag geluiden van de verbouwing hoort. Erg onrustig verblijf en zeker niet het geld waard.

Cons:

Rien à redire.
