Pros:

Es precioso, está decorado con mucho estilo, tiene pocas habitaciones por lo que tienes mucha sensación de tranquilidad e intimidad.
El desayuno es a la carta y muy bueno.
La piscina es muy bonita y está muy bien cuidada.

Cons:

La playa está a escasos 100 metros cruzando la vía del tren, pero no nos bañamos porque había mucha corriente, no sé si siempre será así.

Pros:

فقط موقع الفندق

Cons:

للأسف، تجربتي كانت مخيبة للآمال ولا أرى أن الفندق يستحق تصنيف خمس نجوم أو السعر المرتفع.

النظافة كانت دون المستوى، والفرش والأسرة والأثاث قديمة ومستهلكة وتحتاج إلى تجديد. أما البعوض والوزغ والحشرات فكانت موجودة بشكل ملحوظ، وأتفهم أن طبيعة المنطقة وكثرة الأشجار قد تكون سببًا في ذلك، لكن كان من الممكن اتخاذ إجراءات أفضل للحد منها.

أما الطعام فكان أكبر خيبة أمل؛ الجودة والخيارات لم تكن بالمستوى المتوقع، رغم أنني دفعت قيمة الوجبات مسبقًا ضمن الحجز. وبعد تجربتي الأولى للطعام، لم أتناول أي وجبة أخرى في الفندق واضطررت للبحث عن خيارات خارجية.

السعر مرتفع جدًا مقارنة بالمستوى الفعلي، وأرى أن على Booking.com وإدارة الفندق إعادة النظر في التقييم والتصنيف.

نصيحتي لمن يرغب بالحجز: إذا قررت الإقامة، فالأفضل حجز الغرفة فقط بدون وجبات، والبحث عن خيارات الطعام خارج الفندق. أما شخصيًا، فلا أنصح بالإقامة فيه، وهناك خيارات أفضل بكثير مقابل نفس السعر

Geweldig verblijf
Pros:

Geweldig verblijf bij Tara Villas – The Long House! Prachtige, schone kamers, een rustige en sfeervolle omgeving en ontzettend vriendelijk personeel dat je echt in de watten legt. Ook het eten was heerlijk. We hebben enorm genoten en komen zeker nog eens terug. Absoluut een aanrader!

Exellent stay.
Pros:

The villa and the property were absolutely fantastic. The design and space really set the place apart from other locations.

The breakfast and restaurant in general were high quality, and you had both local and continental options for food.

Staff was really helpful and kind. We'll especially have to thank the Assistant Manager at the villa, Mr. Sameera. The staff takes care of your needs and help you on your whole stay in Sri Lanka, not just the hotel related matters.

Cons:

WiFi coverage was a bit spotty in some corners.

Many people mention the train track passing by the property as a problem. This is unfortunately the reality with ALL of the properties on the coast, as the railway closely follows the coast line.

Very disappointing stay
Pros:

It was a lovely, small secluded property. Our room was lovely when we arrived. Nice pool.

Cons:

Unfortunately there was a fly infestation that took us asking for the room to be cleaned a second time for anything to happen. We were assured after the first clean it was fine only for us to still find them in the room, curtains, bed, sink, etc. Management did not handle this appropriately and staff started to panic when we took photos and videos. As it is all open air there was nowhere else for us to sit except for the restaurant for 4 hours whilst they cleaned the room and there was no alternative room to move to. We weren’t offered water and we were charged for this upon checkout. Only when I asked to speak to the manager did he offer wine which we did not want. The restaurant has limited options and portion sizes varied with no options nearby so I’m glad we only stayed for 2 nights. Staff ask for orders in advance and they forgot we ordered the Sri Lankan breakfast on our last morning and it took ages. Jacuzzi part of pool stopped working. The fly infestation and managements response really ruined the end of our three week trip in Sri Lanka. The cost and lack of hospitality means I would not recommend this hotel.

A very relaxing and enjoyable stay
Pros:

Very good food, lovely staff. Very peaceful and quiet.
We were initially in family suite, which was a bit noisy and light so we were moved to different rooms which were lovely and spacious with great outdoor sitting spaces. The beach was beautiful but a short walk away across the train track, which was a bit surprising as not exactly beachfront as we expected but there were not many trains passing.

Cons:

Swimming pool was lovely but very shallow and you couldn’t swim all the length. Very small umbrellas over loungers so you never really had shade and no sun loungers on the beach which was a shame. It would be nice to have some gardens/vegetation by the pool, especially by the right wall.
