Pros:

Lovely little boutique hotel, set back into the jungle, my fave road in Ahangama! Perfect loco and still 5 mins away from the beach!
Everyone is super friendly you feel very safe as a solo traveler and the food is great!

Ett måste om ni besöker Sri Lanka!
Pros:

Otroligt hotell med fina rum, vackert poolområde, bra mat, trevlig och duktig personal samt så najs vibe.

Hotellet ligger i ett villaområde och det var lugnt på kvällarna, vilket var väldigt skönt. Förutom hotellets resturang fanns det även andra alternativ i närheten.

Ägarna var supervänliga och hjälpsamma. Gav bra tips och det märks att dom är måna om personalen och landet.

Was nice
Pros:

It was very clean and the staff were lovely.
We stayed in the property just outside the main space like 30m away and it was perfect because it wasn’t in the middle of it all.

Cons:

Music was a little loud in the middle of the day. But not awful

Pros:

Die Pool-Area war sehr schön und das Essen schmeckte sehr gut.

Cons:

Mein Zimmer war in einem angrenzenden Haus und nicht sehr modern, das Fenster war kaputt, weshalb viele Insekten den Weg in meinen Raum gefunden haben. Ebenfalls hatte es Mäuse o.ä. Auf dem Dach was es verunmöglichte bei ihrem nächtlichen Rennen einzuschlafen. Das Badezimmer war voller Ameisen.

Pros:

Pobyt w Animals Hotel to czysta przyjemność! Atmosfera w hotelu jest iście domowa, zarówno obsługa jak i sam właściciel dbali o to żebyśmy się czuły jak najlepiej a wręcz domowo. Sam hotel czysty, stylowy wręcz instagramowy. Śniadanie które są w cenie są wyśmienite i różnorodne. Z czystym sercem będę polecać każdemu chociaż jedną noc ( choć jedna to zdecydowanie za mało) w tym hotelu !

Ville 100% anbefale til alle der søger et roligt ophold med lækre omgivelser
Pros:

Super gennemført, moderne og stilet indrettet. Rent og pænt. Rigtig godt loungeområde ved poolen med mulighed for skygge og afslapning. Personalet var så søde og hjælpsomme. Vi fik bl.a. hjælp til leje af scooter og de havde lavet en madpakke til os da vi rejste tidligt om morgenen. Ligger tæt på forskellige spisemuligheder fx Trax eller mere lokale steder. Rigtig lækker morgenmad!!
