This place is no longer a hotel!!!
Even though we booked this 9 months in advance there were no rooms ready, not because they were busy they just weren't ready. We had to wait an hour for a room to be cleaned. The showers were freezing. The bathroom grubby. The picture online is nothing like the hotel it must have been taken 20 years ago. The building is old and tired. Nearby is a temple that blasted chanting out of a megaphone all night long, both nights - sleep was limited. The towels were hard, small and thin. I lay on the bed on my own beach towel. The slats on the children's bed were half broken we had to assemble them crossways and hope the mattress stayed on them. The wifi was piggybacked off someone else so did not work.

Ok for 1 night.
The room was alright. The bathroom was a bit dirty. The doors to the room & bathroom do not fit very well.

Be careful what you are booking & paying for.
I booked a deluxe room with lake view from my balcony. The room was to come with a separate dining and sitting area. A flat screen TV was also included. What I got was a substandard standard room, and there was no view to the lake. The latter is not possible due to being surrounded by trees and being on the other side of a busy main road. There was no.... Separate dining/sitting area. Mosquito net. Flat screen TV. Hot water. Bin To "add insult to injury" the toilet stopped working on day two.

Nice stay.
Great stay.only 5 minutes walk to nearest supermarket,restaurant and bakery.They offer a bottle of beer in proper price.It’s tough to get a cold beer in Sri Lanka,so that helped me a lot. The staffies,which I saw a guy and lady, were indeed helpful and kind.They don’t have bicycle but you can rent it at neighbor guesthouse.

非常に静かなロケーションです
非常に静かで、山奥にキャンプにでも来ているようでした。当然、周囲にはお店などありませんが、スタッフに頼むとビールとか飲めました。徒歩圏内にはキャセロールという中華レストランがあるので、ディナーには困らないと思います。
