Última noche en Sri Lanka
Pros:

El alojamiento está completamente nuevo . En las habitaciones cuentas con todo lo necesario.
Un lugar para descansar antes de ir al aeropuerto. El propietario me dejó hacer el checking mucho antes ya que mi autobús desde arugam bay llegaba de madrugada. Propietario muy atento y servicial.

Pros:

l'accoglienza, la gentilezza, e la disponibilità dei proprietari Ashane e Udeshi
la struttura è un po' fuori dalle zone battute e per questo molto tranquilla, silenziosa, confortevole.

Einfach toll!
Pros:

So eine wunderbare Unterkunft! Wir wurden von Ashane so herzlich empfangen. Die Unterkunft ist so detailreich gestaltet, eine Augenweide für Reisende mit Stil. Es war einfach wunderbar für unseren letzten Tag vor dem Abflug. Ashane hat uns Abends noch ein tolles Curry organisiert und kleine Aufmerksamkeiten geschenkt. Wir kommen wieder! Danke

Cons:

Alles fein!

Schönste Unterkunft in Negombo
Pros:

Die Unterkunft ist wunderschön und sehr stilvoll eingerichtet, der Besitzer und sein Team sind super nett und zaubern ein tolles und üppiges Frühstück morgens. Wir hätten uns keine bessere Unterkunft als letzte Station vor der Heimreise vorstellen können.

Great stay close to the airport. Perfect place to start or end your trip in Sri Lanka.
Pros:

I stayed here for two nights at the end of my three weeks in Sri Lanka as I needed somewhere to relax that was also close to the airport and it ended up being my favorite place I stayed at in Sri Lanka. Thoughtfully and tastefully decorated and appointed with attention to little details like a nice tufted cushion on the frame above the stairway so you don't hit your head show how much Ashane and his wife care about their place. Like the rest of the hotel, my room was also spotless and tastefully furnished. The bathroom was also great as it was nice having a shower that wasn't dumping water into the rest of the bathroom. The waterfall shower was also fantastic. There was a kitchenette area with a drinking water dispenser. Breakfast was excellent, and was different each morning I had it. For other meals, they've partnered with some local restaurants that they know are good, so you can just choose what you want from their menu and they'll have it ordered and delivered to your room pretty quickly, which I took advantage of a couple of times. Ashane and his wife were such genuinely warm and friendly people and really wanted to ensure my stay was enjoyable. Wish I could have stayed a little longer!

Cons:

The lighting in my room was a little dim but it wasn't a big deal.

Pros:

Wow - what a lovely place. We felt at home from the very moment we arrived. Ashane is such a warm, welcoming, and open-hearted host; after only a short time, it already felt as if we had known him for years.
The rooms are beautiful, cozy, and thoughtfully designed. Little touches - like the refreshing mango ice cream upon arrival or the fragrant oil candle filling the room with a calming scent - made our stay feel truly special and easily one of our favorite experiences in Sri Lanka.
We were genuinely sad that we could stay for only one night before heading to the airport, which was conveniently just a 15-20 minute tuk-tuk ride away. We would have loved to stay longer and would definitely come back again.
