Big enough, air conditioning reasonable, tv see previous comments, balcony good, safe is possible at reception, shabby furniture, ' muffling' bathroom, warm water comes only after minutenlangem wait and warm, but at least. Internet in the reception area possible, they said, after the front desk initially said, it is in the room also possible, but not true.

As already described, for 50 Euro a night and half board, overpriced and an impertinence. I am often in Sri Lanka, but such a lack of quality the food, I did not even in simple guesthouses found. Most tastes fad, fruit- and dessert choices at the dinner, poor. The local curries have no whistle, even dhal (lentils) a porridge without any taste. Where are the great spices and so on the Sri Lanka has to offer? The atmosphere in the massive restaurant dreary. Few guests, furniture simple. The coffee one must by nescafépulver making facilities. The breakfast buffet is a copy of the vorabenddinners. Sausage and cheese, simple, rude and carelessly laid out and presented.

The front desk unbelievable customer service. On my complaint, the tv in the room would not work, said the receptionist, I could in the entrance hall television (!). On the next day my zimmerfernseher then set. My tuk-tuk driver couldn't on my room and the luggage there and pick-up, this is not allowed. The front desk came in person to the room with threatening gestures, the driver from the room to hunt. It was not only the driver, but also his wife and child, with which I for years friend of mine. Very hospitable everything! The English of the staff are bad, but you could get as far as communicate. The room boy did his work satisfactory.

The locals enjoyed at and in the pool. Apart from that there is no entertainment. The loungers and cushions not well maintained.

The room is simply furnished. The view of the sea is given, however in the second row. One looks on the davorgelagerten buildings away. Cleanliness is ok given, the furniture run-down. Construction was a disturbance. As well as the noisy other guests, until o'clock mornings. Probably drinking sprees. Could also the pool not be used, there locals this as playground used and populated. The food was simple a catastrophe. As well, but the taste and quality an impertinence. The chef asked, which fish being offered, he said, tuna. As a cook it should know better. A small, very grätenreicher fish, cannot be a tuna are. Salt and pepper were on a table there. The evening music loud and pushy. Lots of russians.

North close neighboring hotels at. Swimming was not possible. The small naturpool, was from locals seized, not suitable for swimming. Shops and entertainment nearby not offered.

The rooms are very simple, although we one new mattress had and slept soundly. The air conditioning ran very well, we needed. Fan didn't try it. The shower is beautifully large and the bathroom also. However you have to the eyes a little push, because it is of course everything a bit old and ailing. However water came even quite hot and the toilet was quite new. We had no telephone ( before in the room was one and a tv) and no tv. We have however also not used. The juice you have to at the front desk rent, with us was none available.

We were only in the restaurant in the village food. Some went into the beach, because it's a bit stylish and better would be, but we were satisfied, are always full and the selection of dishes was ok. However were drinks almost never brought, therefore we took us from the bar just our drinks with high in the restaurant. The dishes were not hot, but that is in the country as usual, and almost everything very well seasoned. For children is a lot too hot. There was always 2 different types of rice, mashed potatoes or kartoffelstückchen, soup (very good ), fish,2 currypasten (i only tried it once and fire spat ), meat was diversified beef and hänhchen, however sauce is almost never there. Desserts are delicious, always cakes, puddings, fruit

Overall the staff was very friendly. Partly. German, but with english one has everywhere can communicate. The cleaning of the rooms was fine, and in the afternoon were always new beach and beach towels, one could take, as much as you want. Laundry service we didn't use, doctor no used and apart from that we were in our tour guide at the beach called piya in very good hands. We recommend him therefore right away, because it helped us with transactions of any type always immediately helped us and we took a 3 day trip with him, the us wundevolle insight into the country. Near dealing with complaints, what we only the move in a bungalow included, we tried to help and after 3 days we had then our small house at the sea.

The pool in the village is large and clean. As you in the sea not really swim, we did a lot of use. In the sea was then only wellenhüpfen announced-but with caution-strong surf. You can Tennis play, but with the heat for us not worth mentioning. Very good massage in the hotel, we also often used. Also is a fitness room available, with signing in at reception is it then.

For 2, 5 stars are appropriate, room very simple and functional, but it was completely sufficed, bungalows wonderful position right on the beach. We had all-inclusive. Swimming pool is very clean and a good size. Staff are very friendly and the room boys are true artists decoration of the bed. We were in the village, a short distance to pool, restaurant and bar. However are unfortunately quite a lot russian guests been there. However is the front desk with the division and planning the tourists guests for layout a bit overburdened. The guests were from young to retirement age - everything available - little children

The location is a dream, forever beach for hiking, until a schildkrötenauffangstation. But please only if cloudy, otherwise it is a höllenmarsch. You can also with the viennese jungle past, a restaurant with german owners, i think. In the area the koggala lake, turtles and snake farm, galle with fort and shops, unawatuna bay for swimming, snorkeling and diving, good proximity to yala national park. If the tour operator finally the new highway would go, for us it was unfortunately no that, shortened the transfer time of about 5 on 3 hours We saw it as free sightseeing and was nevertheless very interesting.

The strandseitige room( with a view of the sea, as booked) we could unfortunately only on the third day after protest at our arrival relate. It compensated but for the previously experienced things (moldy plumbing field, grumpy odor in the whole room). The room was really big, had a sea terrace with a lovely view, 20 meters from the Indian ocean away. The air conditioning worked well, also the fridge! And television, we need on vacation anyway never! A Safety deposit box at the front desk we had rented, this is very convenient and is not for relation, if a for example only travel documents get lost. We never lost something. Completely on the contrary! We had a whole day our jackets in ofenen the hotel lobby forget... These were in the storage area and US the next day immediately vomit.

That the food sometimes not so warm, helped us to the tropical temperatures didn't bother us. As in a other Haus cooked and the kitchen 300 meters far away is, it is in the nature, that some not so hot. The Edelstahlbehälter the different dishes were however heated and so could one some time after buffet-opening warmer food get, as at the beginning. Very varied was the kitchen not, for price-performance however fully okay. If I am a small car buy and pay, I can't the luxury a Oberklassen limo expect!

friendly and nice staff. That you about tip (also here) is normal. This is a sign of satisfaction a guest. we have also several Wishes without tip fulfilled get. Motto: it echoed as from forest, as you yourself! We stayed with the complete staff thoroughly satisfied. Whether Wake-up service, towels, or a packed lunches for excursions, it has always everything worked.

For our needs, the pool was adequate, was already early in the morning, daily cleaned. Also Couches, umbrellas and beach towels it was enough given. Also showers were sufficiently! The beach is a absolute highlight and this was for our booking central. Kilometer-Long hiking in fine sandy bays without club feeling with fence or guarding. The Indian ocean is not so quiet we quickly noticed. The unawatuna bay is not so far, here you could get with a Tuk-Tuk in 10 minutes back. Here are many, partly small hotel and guest houses settled, where you also shade and beach chairs right next to the sea for a few cents could rent.

Asian countries other Grups as European have, was initially aware. Also we have for a few days in the back wing, on the ground floor used, except our protest turned into was! This is a shame for the management of the hotel, but also for the tour operators! Of course also for the guests! Because, if the vacation with moldy rooms, unpleasant odors and unclean rooms begins, is also the objective of relaxation factor not! The food was nothing special varied, Crockery and tables were often dirty. Against foreign nationalities we have basically nothing, as long as you like guests behavior. Unfortunately the for our stay with many Russians and Ukrainians not so!

the location of the hotel is great, the arrival from the airport takes there one gladly in purchase. It is certainly a hotel for relaxing. Possibilities for excursions has numerous. From beach boys and vendors we had our peace, in Tunisia or Egypt surely worse. Friends of ours were 2 weeks before us, as we had already before our vacation contact to Sri Lanka. A emigrated Friend Bayern is for years Singhalese, so we knew from the beginning part, what to expect. It has a charming, locals and a 9-year-old son. We have the south from West to East the island we traveled and really much.

cleanliness left a lot to be desired, but the room boys tried very hard.

To fight prevailed. food was mostly cold

friendly, nice staff. Takes 10 minutes (but the average is 1 hour), well run slower because the clocks

Old hotel, but if cleanliness there was, it would be a jewel.

ideal location and people empty beaches. If you want to go on an excursion asks at the beach by Patty. At the entrance for koggala beach waits small trains Driver Willy, which very recommendable is. Spoke German and shows a things you don't get to see.

the size of the rooms was OK. bathroom and toilet a nightmare. room service was hard-working, but the possibilities were limited. balcony with 2 chairs and table were okay.

Meal Times in the restaurant were available, but especially the Russians it didn't matter. Cleanliness and hygiene impossible. The range of dishes on offer for breakfast and dinner were never complete and it was difficult to find refilled. Against tip you got clean cutlery.

Service staff are very friendly. management completely overburdened and uninterested.

Pool was clean and reasonable. For the main building with 50 rooms were 12 old beach chairs available, of which 3 broken. You had no opportunity to get one, as the available are fundamentally from Russians were blocked. otherwise no entertainment

very shabby and dirty hotel. staff are very friendly, but completely overburdened. food was tasty, but never fully and too few. cleanliness in the restaurant impossible. 80% of the vacation guests warren Russians ( impossible). it was still at night 02:00 A. M. in the pool Wassewrball played. shower and toilet very dirty and moldy

Beach and location were ideal. Unfortunately very far away and thus no entertainment possibilities in the hotel.

The size of the room is OK... Air conditioning great and terrace with 2 chairs and small table comfortable. TV, mini bar, coffee machine, safe and telephone was not! Some rooms have TV with 3 programs which one German is. we slept on a concrete bed (not futon-concrete) on a mattress the several births and deaths have seemed to... For more something we have not yet seen, and we are not Sauberkeitsfreaks! The best never under the thin, stained lake view! the bath would everyone review the hotel bomb as the shower moldy and dirty. The lack of ventilation facilities provide a constant bad odor it is not that one eventual the food not react-it always smells! But so what... To get the sand out of the pores wash is it was good enough.

A restaurant in the hotel (You should consider when'all inclusive' in the neighboring koggala beach hotel to eat) the buffet has daily on whole line as it at the beginning of the meal time already Leer, freezing cold, too hot or already again cleared away was! Furthermore, we had with us Russians annoyed, the nauseating way their fingers into the available food put, is constant aggressive inroads ranks option and plates loaded up that it no wonder was that already again everything Leer was, only to the half full plates to be reduced.

the staff are friendly solang one only the key at the front desk make... Each other Discomfort with weariness, as problems and excessive foreign languages annoying implied. the cleaning of the rooms with a small tips, that on the bed disposed of, 'OK' to previously up to'really great' to increase. Fresh Flowers on the reasonably clean Sheets and so on.. However is the concept of 'clean' clearly a other as the Germany! as obvious complaints in this country now officially considered an insult you can imagine how they dealt with them. but you should clearly behind its rights in spite of everything, parking!

For sport and entertainment there is nothing else to say, not available. the pool is not bad, as long as you get with 30 drunk Russians. Everything is already quite clean, but the hope for sunbeds is negligible since there were only very few are, of course, feast in Russians-extended families-hand! (and I say that as a English, is actually known are on vacation impossible to be... To say that we do not in any way are racist, are just facts)

After arrival in a decent lobby is the possibility that you are in big a other room tucked as originally booked and paid for, which seems to be highly unsatisfactory as we discuss the whole vacation way people have seen the wild gesticulating at the front desk and the same problem had. If long enough annoyed is, and after a 20 hour arrival times with the same manager of the hotel and tour operator phone is however a movement in the right room within 24 hours possible! from the outside the hotel makes a clean and safe impression, since it everywhere Security people is the day and night around the hotel creep. Unfortunately, these people with pull of single travelers and constant beg for cigarettes absolutely nerves! 24 hour-noise if you from and battles at the buffet with RussianUkrainian citizens / (about three-quarters of the guests) is, which completely destroyed the pool and the whole day the grounds were plastered reel, the hotel is just the right place to visit!

Hotel direct at the beach, which is a plus, there is the beach really dreamlike and everything other as crowded. Super soft sand at the long coast right from the hotel, left rocks, where shells and cancer friends to get your moneys worth! options for shopping very limited, since it only small, stuffed shops in which you don't have much more usable found as a chilled Bottle of coke. next greater city of Galle, with the small train in about 20 minutes to achieve this, but the price for the driver to be mean surprises prevent. Normal was for our stay in a January 2012 price 'return' between 600 and 800 Rupees. (approximately, 5-7 euros). very recommendable is small train'willy' -driver, the front of the hotel next door 'koggala beach hotel' is( about 3 minutes footpath) and offers good German, neat beige small train and its stress-free really Farhweise relaxation shall! opportunities for excursions there are enough, but be careful! The advance offered Fixed price for the particular trip becomes clouded that no matter where you go, additional the trip offer still forced donate, tips, and mysterious extra sales come to one.

our room with a view of the sea with air conditioning and mosquito nets every day with flowers nicely done my wife had to each time photos make you thank you thank you

at the Christmas the food was for me a thick star as well as new year's Eve earned it was delicious in the breakfast dinner if you time it is daily a show kitchen if it was it was right back filled

as said our room was always every day a surprise in the restaurant the people do not give themselves a lot of effort to help also a big thank you to the chef and his people, it was not easy if all people have to worry that they do not full I have put on 2 kilos strange

we came this year again in friends back with small what we got from very nice staff everything for a beautiful winter and gladly come again. The life is too short to constant who to complain. Nature countryside good climate loves felt very comfortable here, whether service or giving you a boy friendly smile back when you speak with them, you should at home read and learn other 5 star destinations comparisons

apart from the transfer time if you didn't get much sleep from Sri Lanka and from the beach in Kao directly in front of the hotel compensated if you to the beach boys complained to time to think you saved alone in our time 5 persons nimal ruen and thank the life with you if pettipant conversation come see the young guys are just everything great courage they always help to shop to get to know the country and its traditions never shows you like good travel jalle Kandy and much more

The bungalow is spacious and functional. He has the usual amenities, no fridge and tv, but who needs that already. You're yes only for sleeping and showers in the room.

There are three bars, two restaurants. Too many local kitchen, but also theme nights. Okay, the stains on the tablecloths like not everyone thing, but we don't mind so which not, since the quality of the food not suffering. Now and then is the food not so warm, what it is, since the cards you ate, unfortunately forgot, the work the speisenwärmer to close.

We get everything we want. Friendliness everything is. If you the staff so treated, as its treatment want, then there is no problems. Over a small tip is happy to! The food is matter of taste. We know there is already enough. It repeats itself, but it has good fallback procedures, like for instance sea food or viennese jungle, where one also well and inexpensive to meals can. The laundry is very recommendable. The rooms are cleaned daily, the bed linen and bath-towels also. The staff are very hard-working and spoke too many english. Some but also german. If something didn't fit, so this as a part of your possibilities fixed.

There are 2 pools. A ping-pong table, a fitness room (old).

And again we were in this hotel. My husband the 10. time and i the 5. time. Even if some, the hotel totally negative reviews not understand can, we neither had bed bugs, scorpion, queues or similar animals as all the years not previously in this hotel. The most dangerous thing we in this hotel and at the beach met, were sand fleas and mosquitoes and only if you're not careful (grins) as we. Once again we had our lieblingsbungalow the number 523. poet at the sea you can not sleep, unless at the beach, the bungalow was functional and clean. Of course you could 2.5 stars in Sri Lanka not with Germany comparisons. Who this nevertheless does, should better an elbow around Sri Lanka make.

The beach was once one of the most beautiful the world (before the tsunami). What we very gladly like, it is not crowded (teutonic grill), you can wonderful walks. The indian ocean is still dangerous, but for us water lovers and wellentänzer it is simply only indescribable. If you do undertake want, disco and so on you're after unawatuna drive. If we fine fishy food want, then go there and the tartaruga. The tuk-tuk drivers know it, if your he says, to ubr (unawatuna beach resort).
