Bonne adresse
Pros:

Accueil exceptionnel, la famille est adorable et aux petits soins. Repas et petit déjeuner exceptionnels et extrêmement copieux permettant de découvrir la cuisine Sri lankaise.
Chambre très propre, spacieuse, décorée, grands lits très confortables, climatisation et moustiquaire (pas de moustique croisé), wifi, douche chaude.
Famille propriétaire d'une petite épicerie au rez-de-chaussée pour acheter de l'eau par exemple.
Voie ferrée au pied de la maison, c'est folklorique mais peu de passage de train, pas dérangeant la nuit.

Cons:

Pas de parking ( pas de souci pour nous, nous avions un chauffeur).

Pros:

Ich hatte einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt im Silver Rail. Das Zimmer ist riesig, sehr sauber. Vom Balkon aus kann man Abends die Flughunde von ganz nah beobachten. An den Zuglärm habe ich mich schnell gewöhnt! Man kommt innerhalb von 15 Minuten zu Fuß gut nach Galle Fort.
Die Gastgeber sind überaus freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Frühstück sehr umfangreich und lecker.
Danke für die schöne Zeit bei euch!

Pros:

Lovely family, so welcoming and warm. The daughters speak English, the lady of the house cooks really well. Dinner was perfect, just as breakfast was too!

Cons:

The location is adjacent to the train track, and the trains are noisy until and start early.
But the family makes up for the discomfort of the train
