Pros:

Posto perfetto in cui alloggiare in mezzo alla giungla di Sigiriya, piscina e camera pulita dotata di tutti i comfort, stile casa sull’albero!
Ottima colazione con piatti tipici dello Sri Lanka, frutta fresca e i classici pane tostato e frittate. Staff gentile e disponibile

Relax
Pros:

Staff molto gentile, disponibile e sorridente.
Camera spaziosa e molto ordinata, con un bellissimo atrio sulla piscina.
Colazione buona e abbondante.
Posto tranquillo.

Cons:

Ci è piaciuta comunque, ma la piscina necessiterebbe di una pulizia più frequente.
Dalla stanza al piano terra dove eravamo alloggiati si sentono moltissimo gli ospiti del piano superiore, ogni passo e ogni movimento sembra amplificato.

Pros:

Die kleine Anlage mit ihren drei Häusern und dem Pool sind wunderschön und die Gartenanlage sehr gepflegt. Lage zum Sigiriya Felsen war perfekt.

Die Größe unseres Zimmers hat mir auch sehr gut gefallen. Jedoch nicht die Sauberkeit.

Cons:

Frühstück war sehr dürftig. Wir hatten manchmal kein fließend Wasser und es gab ohnehin nur kaltes Wasser. Einmal fiel auch der Strom aus und das Zimmer war generell nicht sehr sauber. Für den (für Sri Lankische Verhältnisse) hohen Preis hätte ich mir zumindest fließend Wasser gewünscht.

Great location, excellent service, lovely pool
Pros:

We loved the pool, breakfast was delicious and the staff were excellent. We saw lots of wildlife (mongoose, chipmunks, squirrel, lizards).

Location was close for grabbing a tuk tuk to Lion Rock etc. as well as restaurants.

Cons:

The showers were a little on the cool side but refreshing after a hot day.

Pros:

La posizione

Cons:

Colazione deludente.
Stanza cambiata per invasione di formiche in una peggiore.
La nuova stanza era senza acqua calda (scoperto la sera).

Avremmo apprezzato anche un trattamento diverso visto i disagi.

Incomodo
Pros:

La habitación muy bien. La piscina un plus y el resto de personal muy bien.

Cons:

Había un trabajador más mayor que nos perseguia, se quedaba en nuestra terraza y llego a ponerse en la puerta de nuestra habitación para ver dentro. Nos llego a hacer fotos sin permiso y decir que eran para su album de españolas. Incluso exigiendo que le dieramos un cigarro.

Nous remercions particulièrement les deux personnes sur place qui nous ont accueillis chaleureusement. Ils étaient aimables, souriants et très serviables ! Bravo à eux !!

Esternamente molto carina e con la piscina

Cons:

Struttura lasciata andare e poco pulita. Lenzuola non pulite e tavoletta del water rotta e fortemente macchiata.
Necessita di più cura e pulizia

Pros:

Goede locatie dichtbij restaurants. De eigenaar was ontzettend aardig en bereidwillig om te helpen. Kamer die wij hadden ietwat gehorig (allemaal houtwerk). Lekker ontbijt en zwembad.

Did not like the staff
Pros:

Nice pool and good beds

Cons:

De staff was heel erg opdringerig. Bleven steeds bij ons staan, ook tijdens het ontbijt. Onze tuktuk is kapot gemaakt terwijl wij daar verbleven.

Pros:

Der Pool

Cons:

Es fehlten Grundausstattung wie Seife, Shampoo Badematte, eine Lampe die nur zu Deko dastand aber der Stecker nicht passte. Auch keine Steckdose in der ich ohne Adapter mein Mobil Telefon aufladen konnte. Keine gute Bettdecke für das Doppelbett, nur 2 dünne Tücher. Das Frühstück war einfach, nichts besonderes.
