Pros:

Locatie was top. Hele lieve mensen die het hotel runnen. Erg goedkoop.

Cons:

De wc spoelde niet door. Dit hebben we gemeld maar kregen ze niet gefixt. Ook lekte de wc vies toiletwater op de badkamervloer na het doortrekken. Er

Airco had maar 3 standen waardoor je eigenlijk geen aangename temperatuur kon bereiken.

Hoofdkussens oogde beschimmeld (zat wel een hoes omheen).

Pros:

The room was big, the ac was good and hot shower

Cons:

The room was not clean, the walls and the ceiling had a lot of dust and crumbs- would definitely need a clean.
High price compared to value

Pros:

Confortevole bungalow, arredamento spartano, ma dotata di tutto il necessario, incluso il climatizzatore indispensabile per il caldo della zona ad agosto. Posizione fuori dal caos, un idiliio di cinguetii che ci svegliavano al mattino, e ampio patio/giardino dove rilassarsi. Comodo per raggiungere la spiaggia e i ristoranti! Consigliato

Cons:

Presenza di piccoli insetti nel bagno e spazi ristretti

Nett für ein paar Tage, aber sehr einfach gehalten
Pros:

Gute Lage, gut funktionierendes WiFi, Hütte war sauber, ebenso das Bad (ist zwar eine Nasszelle, aber trocknet extrem schnell, war also nie ein Problem).

Cons:

Mist wurde tagelang nicht ausgeleert, was nach 4 Tagen nötig gewesen wäre.
Leider gab es keinen Kühlschrank oder sonstige Anlagemöglichkeiten für Dinge im Allgemeinen.

Very nice owner, nice cabin and close to the beach
Pros:

We had a very good stay at Cool Banyan Cabanas! The owner is a very nice lady, so extremely kind! Everything can be arranged, no problem. The cabana was very cute, and beautiful inside. The shower was nice and hot. There are musquitos in Trincomalee, but there was a musquito net around the bed which was really nice. It's a 5 minute walk to the beach and Fernando's beach Market. There are several other restaurants even closer.
