Pros:

La gentillesse des employés, notamment le serveur Kavindu, le safari de nuit mené par Athulla avec l'aide de Dinesh et de Kasun. La beauté du lieu et la qualité des repas !

Excellent stay - great location and staff
Pros:

The quarters are in a lovely natural area with plenty of interesting plants and wildlife to spot. Nice pool. Excellent Sri Lankan food at the onsite restaurant. Staff were really friendly and very attentive. The on-site night safari was excellent. Located near Lion Rock and Dambulla as well as other cultural sites.

Cons:

Nothing - all good.

Un lieu charmant au milieu de la nature avec accès à un lac superbe
Pros:

Charmantes petites maisons disséminées dans un beau jardin hyper calme, une belle piscine dans la nature, le chef et ses bons petits plats, la proximité du lac. Un guide spécialiste de la faune vous fait visiter le coin, un peu cher mais ça vaut le coup.
Joli jardin botanique à l’arrière

Cons:

Le niveau d’anglais du personnel limite parfois les interactions.
Le tarif des activités proposées est un peu élevé

Parfait pour un séjour au nord de l’île
Pros:

La gentillesse du propriétaire et de son équipe. Nous sommes arrivés en pleine crise touristique et au lendemain de la mise en place de restrictions pour l’essence. Nous avons passés 3 jours magnifiques (Jaffna est proche) et le propriétaire nous a aidé à trouver de l’essence ce qui nous a permis de terminer notre voyage de 2 mois. Malgré la difficulté de la situation, les sourires sont toujours présents.

Cons:

Rien

Ein besonderer Ort mit sehr viel Charme und wunderschöner Energie.
Pros:

Wir haben zwei Nächte dort verbracht 🤩 es war einer der besten Plätze überhaupt. Die Zimmer sind sauber und groß. Man übernachtet gefühlt mitten im Dschungel und der Pool ist herrlich für eine Abkühlung nach einer Wanderung! Das Essen war extrem gut und qualitativ hochwertig. Sie verwenden sehr viele Zutaten aus eigenem Anbau! Wir haben unsere Ausflüge mit den Guides aus der Unterkunft gemacht. Sie haben tolle Angebote und sie sind sehr lustig, freundlich, gut informiert und professionell. Wir haben den sunrise Walk und eine Nachtsafari mit ihnen gemacht. Sie haben uns sehr viel über die Tierwelt, das Zusammenleben von Mensch und Wildtieren und über Sri Lanka generell erzählt. Und sie haben einen sehr wertschätzenden Umgang mit der Natur. Die Nachtsafari war sehr speziell und ein unvergessliches Abenteuer für uns! Wir haben abgesehen von Elefanten, Loris, Krokodilen und viele Vogelarten (Eulen etc) die kleinste Wildkatze der Welt gesehen 🤩Wir empfehlen diese Unterkunft zu 100% und würden jederzeit wieder an diesem sehr besonderen Ort einchecken 🤩

Très bonne adresse
Pros:

ous avons beaucoup apprécié le calme et la plénitude du lodge, ainsi que l’accès direct au lac. Les espaces sont vastes et préservés, avec peu de lodges, ce qui rend le lieu particulièrement paisible. Le jardin potager est passionnant à découvrir et le jardinier est très accueillant.

Pros:

Everything was perfect from start to finish. The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and caring. They took us on a boat ride and fishing experience, which made our stay extra special. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was peaceful. We truly felt welcomed.
We would definitely come back!

Excellent. Would highly recommend.
Pros:

An excellent location with beautiful surroundings amongst trees, shrubs and jungle all around. We stayed in a lovely individual wooden chalet with separate shower and jacuzzi. Butterflies, birds monkeys, giant squirrels. Fantastic bird song and lulled to sleep by sounds of cicadas and frogs. Choice of various interesting trips direct from location. Night safari for amazing animals including Loris, owls, jungle cats, wild boar. Staff excellent and everyone so smiley and charming. Wonderful welcome ceremony on arrival. Access over swing bridge…also used by monkeys. Nearby, good elephant safaris, Dambulla Cave Temple and Sigirya.

Cons:

Nothing

Almost perfect. Improved communication during the reservation process would have made it perfect.
Pros:

The cabin was very comfortable and perfect for a family of four (after management agreed to add a 3rd rollaway bed). The location is perfect for walking sojourns and short drives to other places. It’s even close to town if you want a good coffee. The naturalist at TOC is incredibly knowledgeable and points out things we would never have noticed. Food was excellent both at dinner and breakfast. The pool and fish foot spa were a really nice added touch after a warm day. A special place.

Cons:

We paid a different rate than both of the other families we were traveling with. We are all residents of Sri Lanka. Our rate was not too much more, but it was more, and the other families’ rates included half board (breakfast and dinner) and a complimentary activity (e.g. lake cruise). It did not detract from us thoroughly enjoying our stay, but it make a bad taste in my mouth. When I booked on booking.com, booking.com asked the ages of our kids. We entered 14 and 16. The day before our arrival, the manager called to say that our kids are not considered kids and we would be charged more. That’s all fine, if it was stated from when we made the booking in advance. To have the terms of our booking changed less than 24 hours before arrival was disappointing. The misunderstanding about what age constitutes children is a communication problem between booking.com and TOC. The manager insisted that I did something wrong with the booking. It doesn’t feel good to be told “you did something wrong”, when we were transparent about our children’s ages. Perhaps some of the interaction on the phone was language-based misunderstanding and cultural, but our stay would have been perfect had Faizal said, “Oh, you all work together and live in Colombo. What don’t we give you the rate your travel companions are getting (adjusted for a family of four).” Even though our stay wasn’t perfect, it was close.

Wenn man Sri Lanka in seiner Fülle erleben möchte (Natur, Tierleben, Kultur, Kulinarik)ist man in diesem Hotel sehr gut
Pros:

Unsere Familie war 4Nächte im TOC und wir sind restlos begeistert. Solch eine Freundlichkeit und persönliche Note haben wir selten wahrgenommen. Die ganze Anlage ist sehr gepflegt im Dschungel gelegen mit geschmackvollen Holzhäusern mit einwandfreien hygienischen Standart, schöner Einrichtung und Klimaanlage. Zum Gelände gehört auch ein eigener Gemüsegarten, welcher von Restaurant genutzt wird. Viele Aktivitäten werden angeboten, wir haben Ausflüge zu den kulturellen Highlights gemacht und gleichfalls Safaris tagsüber und nachts, Tiererkundungen tagsüber mit Vogelbeobachtungen und ein nightwalk zur Sichtung der Nachttiere unternommen. Zusätzlich auch ein Kochkurs beim Chefkoch des Hotels. Alle Unternehmungen waren super organisiert und fachkundig begleitet und man konnte sehr viel über Land, Geschichte, Kulinarik, Flora und Fauna und über die Menschen mitnehmen. Die einzigartige Stärke des Hotels liegt eindeutig beim Team, alle vom Manager bis zum Fahrer unheimlich nett, zuvorkommend, kinderfreundlich und kundig- besser geht's nicht! Wir sind begeistert und wollten garnicht mehr weiterziehen.

Cons:

Von unserer Seite gibt es keine negativen Aspekte.
