Oasis
Pros:

Me ha encantado todo, pero todo. El lugar es supertranquilo, un oasis en medio del "caos". Me he sentido de la familia por la forma como me trataron allí. Superamables, fantásticos, muy flexibles con todo. Además, he tenido la suerte de estar sola. La habitación muy guay y moderna. Los desayunos, los mejores que he tenido nunca. Pienso todos los días en volver allí...

Cons:

Los mosquitos. Pero obviamente no tienen culpa ni control sobre ello. Incluso me han dado repelente, pero al ser un oasis, toca más...

Pros:

Great location if you want to go to sigriya rock (a 15 minute drive)
Simple and feels like you are in nature

Cons:

There was no dinner in the hotel - possibly due to low season and unfortunately because we’re in nature, you could experience ants, etc..

Pros:

The absolute highlight of this property is the view. Looking out over the lush green rice paddies toward the iconic Sigiriya Lion Rock—especially at sunset from the pool or a top-floor balcony—is stunning.

Cons:

The hotel is located down a quieter side road (Wela Mada Road). While this makes it wonderfully peaceful during the day, it gets pitch dark at night. If you're heading back late, it’s best to take a quick tuk-tuktuk rather than walking it solo.

Mooie tuin en vriendelijk personeel maar niet voor herhaling vatbaar
Pros:

De tuin en het uitzicht op de Lion Rock

Cons:

Weinig faciliteiten (geen handdoeken, koelkast deed het niet, geen tandenborstel, geen lepels, de usb-schakelaar deed het niet, geen tv), zwembadwater vol met beestjes, de wasbak lekte, geen lift in het gebouw waardoor we zelf onze koffers via de trap naar beneden moest sjouwen

Relaxing so clean and amazing owner who will go above and beyond for you.
Pros:

The owner was amazing he is so friendly and always arranged things for us. He even dropped us to the Lion's rock himself at 6am instead of getting a taxi. He goes above and beyond for his guests and is so helpful. Roxy the dog there is also so friendly and I loved greeting her everytime we passed.

Cons:

The food was not the best but I understand it is also off season right now but we ordered chicken sandwiches from the owner and then when we sat down the chef said the chicken was frozen so we couldn't have it. Then we ordered egg sandwiches but it came with onions. There wasn't a great selection and the location it was very dangerous to go out at night because of elephants so we were stuck at times with no good food options. Other then that it was amazing

Amazing
Pros:

My girlfriend and I stayed here for two nights and we couldn’t fault it. All the staff were lovely especially Jaye! They helped us so much! The view is amazing and also the room. They have the most beautiful gentle Rottweiler called Roxy who just wants cuddles and attention even though she looks scary but she’s the most adorable dog ever.

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

The location was great and the we had a good view of the Lions rock from our balcony. The swimming pool was nice specially during the heatwave. The surrounding was really calm overlooking a paddy field.
