Struttura stupenda in mezzo alla natura.
Pros:

la struttura è stupenda, arredata con molto gusto e in maniera moderna.
E' in mezzo alla natura, una vera oasi di pace.
Le camere sono grandi, spaziose, i pasti sono deliziosi.
Lo Staff è veramente cordiale e gentile, senza mai essere invadente, in particolare Bhagya al front office, e Irasha e Sewwandi si sono dimostrate eccezionali nei nostri confronti!

Hotel precioso
Pros:

Personal de 10 super atento. Cena y desayuno buenísimo. Hotel con decoracion excelente. Estas literalmente delante de la selva.

Cons:

Habia leído las criticas y por eso habia pedido q nuestras habitaciones no estuvieran en la planta baja. Y me dieron las habitaciones en el primer piso pero igualmente olia mucho a humedad.

En la selva, a apenas 15 min. de Kandy
Pros:

El hotel está decorado con ambiente étnico, muy bonito, con mucho gusto. La habitación de la primera planta es muy grande, con ventanales enormes que dan a la selva. El entorno es muy bonito si te gusta estar aislado de la ruidosa Kandy, pero apenas 15 min. en tuk tuk. El desayuno y la cena en un jardín elevado, también muy bonito.

Cons:

Me gustó mucho, pero en la descripción del hotel pone Hotel céntrico y no es así, está bastante alejado del centro

Très beau lieu mais vraiment pas arrangeant
Pros:

Très beau lieu placé en pleine foret

Cons:

Très bruyant car aucune isolation, hôtel peu arrangeant , nous avons demandé pour boire quelque chose et il n y avait rien de disponible, ils nous ont dit ne pas avoir fait les courses. Impossible de laver notre linge alors que c était mentionné sur booking et que l hôtel était vide. Nous étions les seuls clients. Pas d eau en bouteille disponible

Pros:

Het hotel staat in een prachtige omgeving, midden in de bossen. Vanaf het terras kan je de aapjes en vogels mooi bekijken. De kamer was heerlijk groot en van alle gemakken voorzien. Top verblijf!

Pros:

good location, beautiful design of hotel and also stuff was friendly

Cons:

We found and booked this hotel through Booking.com based on the positive reviews, but our experience was honestly very disappointing.

The room was full of insects from the beginning, and we later realized the main reason was that the doors did not close properly. Since the hotel is right in front of the jungle, there were visible gaps around the door, so insects, flies, and outside air could easily get into the room. Even my bag ended up full of insects.

The bathroom was also not working properly at first and had to be fixed after we arrived. Communication was poor as well, since we had to message through WhatsApp and responses were always very slow.

On top of that, the food was terrible. Dinner was very bad, and breakfast was extremely limited, small, and not tasty at all.

Overall, this did not feel like a comfortable or well-managed hotel, and it was completely different from what the reviews suggested. We were not satisfied and would not recommend it.
