Very Disappointing

Our second stay at this hotel was very disappointing. Unfortunately, we experienced the same problems as during our previous visit. When we arrived, the owner did not open the gate, and we had to call and wait for a long time outside. This already happened to us before, so it seems to be a repeated issue. We had paid for both the room and breakfast, and we had clearly informed the owner in advance that we would be leaving at 9 a.m. However, the next morning, when we asked about breakfast before checking out, he told us he had not prepared anything. He casually offered to make only bread and jam if we wanted. This was very disappointing because we were hungry and had expected the breakfast that was included in our booking. In the end, we left the hotel without eating anything. The owner seemed careless, unprofessional, and disrespectful towards guests. Sadly, after two bad experiences, we would not recommend staying here.

I traveled throughout Sri Lanka for two weeks, and this was by far the most pleasant place I've ever stayed. The communication with the owners was excellent. The room was spotlessly clean. Even the curtains smelled freshly laundered. The room was very well insulated, allowing it to maintain the temperature you left it in for a long time. The bathroom furniture looked new, as did the fixtures. The lighting was very well thought out. There was plenty of space for luggage. A kettle and glasses and mugs were available inside. I received bottles of chilled water. A beautiful terrace overlooking the well-kept greenery. Breakfast, prepared by the owner's wife, was delicious. The place is definitely worth the price. I think the reviews for this place are too low.

Hosts Derrick and Sriyani were very friendly and professional. Great location. Highly recommend.

Great breakfast. End up having to leave a bit late and the hosts were very accomodating and provided a delicious rice and curry lunch upon request. Enjoyed the balcony view of the garden with lucious greenery, colorful flowers and sounds of birds.

Derrick and his wife made my stay unforgettable with their warm hospitality. The hotel is ideally located—close to the city yet peaceful. My spacious room had a beautiful balcony view and was spotlessly clean. The homemade breakfasts were delicious, and I loved having access to a well-equipped kitchen. Their personal touch and helpful advice made me feel right at home. Highly recommend! Will definitely return.

Very safe and good place to stay

The husband and wife are renting out their property and provide hospitality for guests. We experienced their kind hospitality, and they are very friendly. They offered a very delicious breakfast. It is a very safe place for couples or families to stay, and we highly recommend it.

It was the perfect stay for hour first day in Sri Lanka. They picked us up for a very small fee from the airport (we arrived quite early in the morning), the house was quite confortable and we had such a good traditional breakfast.
