The owner tried to use ANY OPPORTUNITY he had to get more money from us. We had lunch and dinner on the hotel one day and as there were leftovers from lunch, they decided just to heat up the leftovers and serve it to us. For this they charged us 1100 rupees. When we told them we were unhappy with... More

The location was nice, the view very pleasant, but I'm afraid that's all the positive comments I can muster up about this place. The owner was a conman, looking to exploit us for money at every opportunity... He charged us an obscene amount for short phone conversations to book hostels at our next venue, over charged us for the rooms... More

We stayed here during Perahera cause we couldn`t find a room elsewhere and then we found out why: we had to pay fantasy prices for the tickets, much to much for a small uncomfortable room and the owner tried to sell us tours or food the whole time, he was always around when we had breakfast or a drink in...

Stayed here 3 nights. Owner was really pushing to sell us tours, food etc. We used his tuktuk once and charged 300 rps for a trip to the Indian visa office which was really close (we did not know as it has moved since the last lonely planet came out). Said there was hot water, but did not work in... More

What I describe is a normal room in a guesthouse with a small balcony overlooking the lake. It's not a five star hotel, but the room is clean and comfortable. The en suite bathroom is basic, the only downside was the shower curtains and bath that had already ended their days. Breakfast is good and plentiful, has served on the... More

While the rooms are nice, and the view is good (if not actually the "highest", we were turned off by the owners, and their unfriendly attitude. We were always made to pay immediately for food, as if we weren't trusted, which is unusual in Sri Lanka. The owner was always bad-mouthing the area's drivers, and trying to get us to... More

unfortunately, the owner is self sufficient, only talking about himself and his trip to switzerland, and criticizing the other guest house. food is not good More

Quoted Rs2500 for a room with a VIEW in a telephone call, and 'booked'. When we arrived staff were, putting it politely, indifferent. One was hanging listlessly round reception which smelled of cigarette smoke. Another was watching TV (the owner, we believe) and barely moved as we came in. We asked to see the room but were asked to register... More

How come some people say nice things about this place, others nasty? If you do not need any special help, go to bed early, and only want transactions that make the owner money, you will love the fantastic views from the rooms and the spic and span cleanliness (although only one bedsheet is provided). If, like me, however, you like... More
