Super
Pros:

Super chambre et quel beau jardin ! J’ai adoré séjourner dans ce lieu entouré de rizières, où l’on peut admirer le coucher de soleil directement depuis le jardin.

La nourriture proposée à l’hôtel est très bonne et copieuse, et la piscine est très bien entretenue.

Tout le personnel est également très sympathique et à l’écoute. Je ne peux que recommander cet établissement.

Cons:

Rien

Au calme dans les rizières.
Pros:

Emplacement idéal par rapport au parc. Domaine isolé de la route et très au calme qui domine les rizières. Piscine très sympa. Gros plus pour le service et la gentillesse du personne. Repas avec un riz and curry mémorable. Bon rapport qualité prix

Cons:

Chambre propre mais literie et isolation phonique limite.

Best place we stayed in during our time in Sri Lanka
Pros:

Loved the tropical feel to the place, the gardens, the pool and how it was all lit up with fairy lights.
We had a deluxe double room with garden view and it was so peaceful watching birds, bats and the odd mongoose from our terrace. The staff are all so friendly and will help with anything. Thanu, the owner’s son, runs the place extremely efficiently, speaks good English and is such a nice guy. And the breakfast spread was amazing - so many things including the elusive hopper which we hadn’t tried before.

Cons:

Nothing

La vida que merecemos
Pros:

Nos ha gustado muchísimo toda la estancia. La habitación a la piscina amplia, limpia, aire acondicionado estupendo, ventiralor. Una cama y almohadas muy cómodas.

La piscina es un plus increíble para los días de calor, que son muchos. La hemos disfrutado mucho.

Elegimos cenar en el hotel y ¡Menudo acierto! El arroz con curri consiste en un bufé de muchísimos curris diferentes que servirte tú mismo. No dejes de probarlo.

El personal es encantador. Siempre dispuesto a ayudar en todo. Muy amables y profesionales.

Recomiendo muchísimo este alojamiento para poder visitar la ciudad antigua. Está tan solo a 10 minutos en tuk tuk.

El café suave pero muy aceptable. Y los panqueques rellenos de banana, super ricos!

Cons:

Lo único que me preocupó un poco es la comida que se desperdicia de los desayunos. Te ponen muchísimos platitos con galletas, dulces y panes. Pero si no comes dulce, como es nuestro caso, se va a quedar todo en el plato. Quizá nos hubiera gustado más cantidad de opciones saladas o que nos preguntaran como en otros hoteles qué deseamos desayunar. Así Quizá la gestión de los alimentos fuese más adecuada. El desayuno correcto: omelette pequeño, 1 salchicha, pan, fruta y muchos dulces.

A slice of paradise
Pros:

The staff were lovely, really made us feel like we were special. They were very accommodating. When we had early starts they prepared takeaway breakfasts for us with out asking. The rooms are big and clean and secure. Cleaning done when you want. Hot shower and clean towels in room. Beautiful garden and pool area. Always clean. Wildlife is in abundance and the views of the Paddy Fields were lovely. Food was all homemade and tasted great plus super reasonable on price for everything!

Cons:

We loved it all but just to inform others, the location is a tuk tuk, car or bus ride to nearest town. This is fine as its on a road where those things are higly available. But surrounding hotel there is only a couple of small shops and restaurants.

A wonderful place with very friendly hosts!
Pros:

A very nice place with a very friendly and helpful family running the place. From the pool beds you have a wonderful view on the ricefields and all the birds in the garden. The rice & curry is delicious!

Warm and friendly and great value with a little oasis around the pool
Pros:

There was a beautiful and peaceful garden with a swim marble pool that looked onto paddy fields. The owner/ owners son? was lovely and got his parents to drive us to Sigirya - a far nicer car than we were used to😁. Relaxing stay for 3 nights

Cons:

Hostel vibes with comments written all over the hallway, though obviously a plus for lots of people. The decor was a bit tired

Prachtige tuin met zwembad. Zeker doen.
Pros:

Een heerlijk zwembad en ruime kamer. Wij hadden kamer 14 en mooi uitzicht op het mooie zwembad en de prachtige tuin. We hebben mee mogen kijken en een beetje geholpen met het maken van heerlijke Curry. Zeer uitgebreid ontbijt. Laat je verrassen.😃

Pros:

Tutto fantastico!
Bellissimo il resort, bellissima la piscina, bellissima la zona fuori dal caos e immersa nel verde.
Staff attento a tutte le esigenze.

Torneremo presto!

Cons:

L'unica cosa che migliorerei, per rendere tutto ancora più bello, sarebbe mettere delle zanzariere sui letti... Dato che le zanzare sono molte per la vegetazione circostante
