Hotel moderno, bien ubicado y personal amable y servicial
Pros:

La limpieza extraordinaria. Es moderno y habitación muy amplia. Hay secador , plancha y tendedero para la ropa, lo cuál es una ventaja. El personal muy amable, aunque un pelín lentos, pero es lo normal en Sri Lanca. Bien ubicado pues cerca hay diferentes restaurantes. El desayuno es el estándar del país (correcto) fruta,huevos, pan,mantequilla y mermelada, tortitas etc. se puede comer y cenar en el hotel a precios razonables .El chef y su equipo son un encanto. Piscina con agua limpísima y un jardín bien cuidado. Relación calidad precio: muy bueno

Everything was clean, and the manager was very friendly and made our stay very enjoyable. The breakfast was good, especially the freshly made egg omelets. The pool was clean and well maintained. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Highly recommend this little hotel
Pros:

Nice spacious rooms, big comfortable bed, great shower and the pool was lovely! Staff were friendly and helpful. They had great recommendations and organised a few things for us at a decent price.

Cons:

Slightly outside of the main village but we are used to walking everywhere. Breakfast initially seems limited as was asked if we wanted a fried egg or omelette but then the food just keeps coming; there was a wide variety and changed each days.

Topservice
Pros:

Ruime kamer met eigen terras, lief personeel en hygiënisch. Ook onze tuktuk driver Sarange was een topper!

Cons:

Het beddenlinnen is toe aan vervanging. Ook de schoonmaak mag iets eerder de volgende keer

Pros:

Great hotel with spacious and well-equipped rooms. It feels like a proper hotel rather than one aiming to satisfy backpackers. It's modern and well designed, with a nice pool that our kids thoroughly enjoyed.

Cons:

Nothing negative actually.

Pros:

Onze kamer was super mooi, groot en schoon.
De manager John Bernard is super aardig en behulpzaam, geeft zijn huurders een zeer goed gevoel.
Mijn man werd ziek, hij zorgde voor Medicijnen en een ander werd geprikt door een wesp, hij haalde gelijk zijn medicijnen doos. Bleef vragen hoe gaat het?
Personeel erg vriendelijk, ontbijt werd geserveerd, dagelinks iets anders. Op verzoek ook iets anders mogelijk.
Al met al een hele fijne ervaring.

Gr Susila,

Extrem sauber und sehr bemüht - Ähnlich europäischen Verhältnissen!
Pros:

Mit Abstand das sauberste Hotel in dem wir in 3 Wochen auf Sri Lanka waren. Absolute Empfehlung. Super nettes Personal und sehr sehr leckeres Essen!

Cons:

Die Unterkunft liegt direkt an der Straße und man hört den Straßenlärm leider wenn man am zB. am Pool liegt. Ansonsten absolut empfehlenswert!
