Tolle Aussicht mit etwas Unsauberkeit
Pros:

Sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter, sehr engagiert und bemüht den Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu gestalten.
Fahren bei Bedarf am frühen Morgen zum Horton Plains für 10.000 LKR. Dafür eine sehr tolle Lage mit wunderschöner Aussicht, auch auf den Sonnenaufgang.
Bargeld mitzunehmen ist empfehlenswert.

Cons:

Leider war unser erstes Zimmer etwas unsauber, eingeschlossen der Bettdecke und Handtücher, das (Bade)zimmer hat etwas nach Urin gerochen. Nachdem wir dies den Mitarbeitern mitgeteilt hatten, haben wir direkt ein neues Zimmer bekommen (was vermutlich sogar eine höhere Preisklasse gewesen wäre). Das Essen ist leider nur bei manchen Gerichten für uns genießbar gewesen. Der Gemüsereis ist leider nicht zu empfehlen.

Pros:

Big room, confortable, the meals were really good (traditional Sri Lankan). Beautiful place, marvellous landscape.

Cons:

The floor was a little dirty, I guess the room had not been used for a couple of days. But it is not really a complain! We loved this hotel.

Suited needs; great service
Pros:

The location was perfect for a Horton Plains hike. The staff were helpful, responsive and kind. The bed was big and the room had almost everything we needed, including blankets, a kettle, etc. Food was prepared very quickly (there had been prep cooking ahead, with pre-cooked chicken, etc.).

Cons:

It would have been better to have a mini fridge in the room, and to have towels in the bathroom when we arrived (we asked for towels and received them quickly). While the room was great, the bathroom space / facilities could be improved a bit.

A éviter
Pros:

La vue

Cons:

> Les installations sont vieillissantes. Par exemple, fuite au niveau de l'évacuation de l'évier gérée avec un chiffon pour limiter la fuite.
> Choix des propositions du menu : exemple, aucun sodas disponible a mon arrivée alors que la carte proposait plusieurs choix
> qualite du restaurant qui n'est pas au niveau des prix demandés
> serveurs qui ne sont pas attentionnés : passent le temps sur leur téléphone portable au lieu de s'occuper de la clientèle (on a réussi à quitter le restaurant, en étant les seuls, avec un serveur dans la pièce sans qu'il ne s'en rende compte. Une première pour nous)
> propreté : j'ai écrasé un gros cafard dans la chambre. Tapis de bain salles a notre arrivée
> Globalement, très décevant pour le prix payé (plus de 90€ la nuit). Rapport qualite/prix très mauvais

Probably the best accommodation in the small village of Ohiya
Pros:

Staff were friendly but communication in English was a little difficult.
They were all very helpful and doing their best to help. Good food and service. Great views from the restaurant.

Cons:

Beds and sheets felt old. Electricity failed multiple times throughout the night and affected the morning hot water. But this seemed to be the whole village.

Pros:

- Food was nice, big portions
- Staff was available for help & questions

Cons:

- We didn’t know we had to pass Horton Plain’s before 4PM in order to get to the hotel, I think the hotel could have informed us about that. We had a lot of trouble just to be able to get to the hotel.
- it’s a good stay for 1 night to walk to World’s End or to get to the railway station in Ohiya, but there’s not much else to do.
- misinformation about the price of the tuktuk to take us to Horton Plain’s and back - told us it was 500 instead of 5000.
- because of the open window in the bathroom, a lot of spiders and bugs, which is also normal for being in the mountains of course.

Ok für eine Nacht
Pros:

Große a Zimmer mit Blick über das Tal

Cons:

Die Zimmer wirken kahl
Muffiger Geruch
Der Essensraum ist so lieblos hergerichtet, dass man nicht dort essen möchte und das Essen ist overpriced

Pros:

The sunrise view was beautiful. Easy to reach and near to Horton Plain.

Cons:

The room was not in great condition and it’s best to bring everything you need with you. Most of the staff seemed inexperienced and the focus felt more on the restaurant than on room quality.
