The hotel is good, the food is good, the location is good, but they change the bill and increase the
Cons:

I made the booking through booking.com, and the hotel didn't show me the full amount on the bill, it was the price. They made a separate bill and charged me a different amount.

Agréable et reposant
Pros:

Les piscines sont très chouettes et propres. Il y a beaucoup de singes dans les arbres mais c’est très choupi. Les sortes de maisons sont spacieuses, propres et agréable. La salle de bain dehors rajoute un petit plus.

Cons:

Le jet de la douche est très faible et la lumière le matin entre dans les chambres.

Pros:

Easily the best accommodation we had in Sri Lanka, awesome little houses, nice pool, even the fish massage pool was fun addition. The rooms are spacious and the outdoor bathroom is so lovely and cozy. The breakfast buffet is delicious as is the rest of the food, big portions for great prices. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, after arrival we got chilled towel and a juice. Loved it!

Perfekte Lage für die Safari
Pros:

Die Lage war gut. Das Essen prima. Die Unterkunft war schön und ok. Xander unser Guide vom Hotel für die Safari war sooo toll. Viel Wissen, er kennt all die Spots und nimmt nicht die abgetrampelten Pfade.

Cons:

Das Bad war zwar ein OutdoorBad was ich mag, aber ich fand es nicht anmächelig.

Good enough, if visiting Safari
Pros:

very good for short stay

Cons:

cockroaches in bathroom, living behind toilet. I understand that this is nature, and lizards and mosquitoes are fine, but those were cockroaches because of poor and old bathroom
