8/10 Good

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
The standout from this place was the pool. Easily the best to date in Lanka. It runs directly East to West so has the sun permanently on it, making it lovely and warm. It also appears in very good nick so I would guess is relatively new. The room was pleasantly adequate with no complaints. The odd thing was there was no reception as such so to find someone, I discovered ‘hollering’ ended up being the best way. Location is definitely Marmite with peace, quite and seclusion giving it a glowing reference but distance to shops and Tuktuk making less preferable for some. I would have stayed a lot longer but internet can only be described as sporadic at best so if that’s an essential for you, I’d pass or enquire as to whether they’ve upgraded or not

The property itself was nice, especially the pool. It’s in a very remote area though so count on that you have to get back early and spend your evenings there. Stuff was nice and helpful. Kind of disappointed at the high price of the dinner (higher price than in a nice restaurant in Colombo) and that they charge you for water (tripple price). I’d rather give a nice tip than to feel ripped off since you’re kind of depending on eating there. Even though it’s not much money, it destroys the overall experience. Also the owner just messaged me the bill, no ”hope you’ve enjoyed your holidays” or whatsover. I’d appreciate more service minded approach.

全てが最高のホテルです！ まず、本当に野生の象が遊びに来ることがあります。わたしが滞在した期間でも実際にあり、すごくすごく感動しました。ホテル内にツリーハウスがあってそこから象を探す体験は本当にワクワクします！ 自然がすごく豊かでホテル内にはたくさんの果物がなっていたり、野生の孔雀が歩いていたり！部屋の外壁をリスが走ったりします。 ホテルの部屋も綺麗に保たれていてミニ冷蔵庫や温水シャワー、トイレ、冷房、タオル必要なものは揃っています。（ドライヤーやWi-Fiはスタッフに言えば用意してもらえます） もちろん、自然が豊かなので、多少お部屋に小さな来訪者はいることがあります。でもまったく問題を感じない程度です！ 何より、スタッフがみんなとても優しく親切で、家族のように接してくれます。 初日に間違って早くホテルに着いてしまっても嫌な顔ひとつせずあたたかく迎えてくれました。 サファリツアーやトゥクトゥクの手配（高額な請求は絶対にされません、むしろ安い値段で手配しようとさえしてくれます）や、観光の相談もできます。 毎日お水を交換してくれ、快適に過ごせるよういつも丁寧に優しく対応してくれます。困ったことがあっても親身に相談に乗ってくれます。 そしてごはんがとっっってもおいしい！ホテルなのに安くてボリュームがあり、種類もたくさんあります。ハバラナ滞在期間はずっとホテルでごはんを食べたいと思うくらいです。 注文するとシェフが全てその場で手作りしてくれます。カレーもその都度出来立てです！辛さが苦手と相談すると常に辛すぎないように気を遣ってくれました。 彼らには感謝してもしきれません。ハバラナでの旅行が最高の思い出になったのは全て彼らのおかげと言っても過言ではないかも！ ハバラナ駅から少し離れていますが、静かで落ち着いてゆっくりと過ごせて、ホテル滞在を目的にしても良いくらいのんびりできる素晴らしいところです。値段は激安ではありませんが、サービスの質に対して十分な価値があります。むしろ安いと思います。 ゆっくり時間を過ごしたい方には特におすすめです。ひとりでの滞在でも、家族や友人と一緒でも、どちらにもおすすめできます！ ※Expediaの地図は少しずれていますので、Googleマップの位置が正しいです。

Der pool war super erfrischend. Die Zimmer waren sehr sauber. Das personal ist sehr bemüht und Hilfsbereit. Man merkt allen Mitarbeitern an, dass sie liebevoll und von Herzen Gastgeber sind. Man kann in der Anlage sich wunderbar essen, sollte hierfür aber etwas zeit einplanen, da Alles frisch zubereitet wird. Ich würde die Unterkunft jedem empfehlen.

Excellent !

Séjour reposant dans un cadre calme avec une belle chambre et une piscine. Un service appréciable à toute heure de la journée et aux petits soins. Hotel, facile d’accès, cependant si vous n’avez pas le chauffeur privé, il peut être difficile de trouver un tuktuk pour la nuit du aux éléphants dans cette zone.
