Zamiast trzech planowanych nocy jedna koszmarna i nieprzespana, rano czym prędzej się stąd wynieśliśmy, omijajcie szerok
Pros:

Nic, jeden wielki koszmar

Cons:

Wszystko: ciemności, kurz i brud z wielu tygodni, pleśń w lodówce, mocz gekona na ścianie, rozpadające się zamki i uchwyty, smród, komary w pokoju.

Cudowne otoczenie i ludzie
Pros:

Cudowny personel. Ci ludzie są największą zaletą tego miejsca zaraz po niesamowitym klimacie tworzonym przez zwierzęta, otoczenie natury i blogi spokój.

Cons:

Pokoje i łazienki mogłyby być czystsze, ale za tą cenę nie jest to problemem.

Pros:

Excellent stay, amazing staff always ready to help with everything! The food was good. We relaxed by the pool, they arranged the excursion to Lion Rock, helped us with our transfers to Tissa, and found us a guide for our tour in Yala. Thank you for the stay, you made part of our trip truly unique.

Cons:

If there is one thing I could mention, it would be that the rooms could use a bit of refreshing.

Túlárazott.
Pros:

A szállás személyzete kedves és segítőkész volt. A környezet szép.

Cons:

Erősen túl árazott. Nincsen szinten tartva a szállás. A képek sokkal jobbak mint a valóság. A falak nedvesek és kopott a festek. A fürdőszoba is felújításra szorul.

Pros:

Good location, spacious rooms, comfortable beds. The team at the hotel was friendly and welcoming

Cons:

The rooms felt a bit dark, and the shower could be improved. The towels were quite worn. Breakfast options were limited, and service was a bit slow, but the staff tried their best.

Perfect for a couple days stay! Very cozy staff!
Pros:

Staff was amazing, so kind and very helpful. They even gave us a ride, and helped us plan our trips. They did everything they could to make us feel safe and comfortable. Thank you for having us!

Cons:

The bathrooms could have been nicer and the road to the village was a bit bumpy. We also had some animals in our rooms, but the staff came and helped us get them out.

Pros:

Ha sido el mejor alhojamiento de toda nuestra ruta por Sri Lanka. El lugar es mágico y los propietarios son muy agradables. El sitio por el precio que pagas es espectacular. Sin duda, nos hubieramos quedado un par de dias mas.

Our stay at Pothana Village was a real testament to the family who run and own this property. They are extremely kind, h
Pros:

The family running Pothana Village are absolutely lovely. They were very attentive and willing to help in anyway they could. The room was very big and private and the swimming pool had a relaxing feel to it. The wifi was also really strong and reliable.

Cons:

Unfortunately we had issues with the hot water in our room. We would have also loved if the room was wiped over each day as there was unfortunately lots of droppings from insects and geckos.
