    - The bathroom (due to design choices) had holes in one wall, which meant that bugs could get inside - you need to make sure the door is always closed which we didn't realise until a couple of days in. -I think the food could be improved at the cafe, we had better breakfasts elsewhere (in terms of value for money, range of choice and quality). -Complicated wifi system with codes, my friend couldn't access it quite a few times though our room was directly above the cafe.

    The room was lovely and very comfortable, great shower, lovely spacious balcony. The location was beautiful and very peaceful, a short distance from cute food spots, some bars and Kabalana beach. Some staff were extremely helpful and even went to rescue her phone after the night she lost it.

    Unfortunately, we couldn't use the facilities around the pool because they were redoing the garden. I would recommend mentioning this to the guests because it was one of the reasons we booked, so we could hang around the pool. Also, I would maybe include some sort of discount for the guests to have breakfast there. Or increase the room price and have the breakfast included. Besides, it is quite difficult getting around since the hotel is in the middle of nature. We had a phone number of a tuktuk driver, but if he wouldnt have been available it would have been way more difficult getting to the city center.

    The location was amazing between the ricefields where you could see the buffalo's chilling. The rooms were amazing, very astatically pleasing. Breakfast was lovely as well.

    We felt like the staff wasn't as organised it as friendly ad we had experienced throughout the rest of our journey. We rentes a scooter via the hotel... and we were a bit disappointed: maintenance light was in, no gas in the tank, felt like and old rusty scooter. We originally wanted to rent it for two ways, bit returned it after the first one as it felt a bit unsafe.

    Beautiful place! Loved the room & the pool! If you're having a drink by the pool: go for the Hibiscus & Rosemary iced tea that's really good!!

    Super aesthetic and small boutique hotel with only 3 rooms. Great view, coffee and breakfast

    The bed wasn’t comfortable. Would have been satisfied guests if we got a better nights sleep. Also worth noting that after 5.00 pm the cafe downstairs closes and there’s no staff present in the event you need anything. The lady who checked us in mentioned a contact number (of a staff member who lived nearby) was printed on the leaflet on the table; but when we checked later that night there was none.

    Well maintained and clean. There’s also a cafe downstairs that serve food and good coffee.

    The food at the restaurant is more on the average side, nothing tastes significantly good to be willing to get back here. We still ate there as there’s nothing close by, but it’s not the type of food you’d be really happy with in terms of taste.

    The room is really nice, bathroom is outside but doesn’t get too many insects except few mosquitos so all good. Water in the shower takes a bit of time to heat up, but I know it’s a Srilanka thing to start with. After 2 days we got the cleaning so if you’d need towels after one day, you need to ask for it directly I believe. Good AC, bed was ok.

    Wifi isn’t working in the room. You’ve to go outside in the sofa area. Not much water for the shower. (No hot water either but it’s Sri Lanka you shouldn’t need it) Very small portion breakfast (which isn’t included in the price)

    We couldn’t stay longer.

    Set with rice fields all around, the views are incredible. A feeling of being in a much more remote spot when really you are only a couple of minutes away from the beach. The staff were warm, welcoming and informative. The welcome drink was delicious. The room was fabulous, great size, clean and modern. The bed was massive and so comfortable! The balcony was a lovely place to sit with a drink while looking out at the scenery. The Cafe has a great vibe and stunning food. I would recommend the granola bowl and also the avocado, eggs on toast. We met the owner and got to hang out with their dogs (Second Dog was our favourite). We are definitely going back.

    We loved our beautiful rooms, fantastic bathroom and had an amazing breakfast each morning. Huge balcony with facilities if you wanted to make your own food. The outdoor area by the cafe is also fantastic and had bean bags and a clean pool for relaxing by the day. The hotel was very quiet so we had an excellent nights sleep! 10 min drive to Ahangama so great location

    Turned up and was told the air-conditioning wasn't working in the room. However, I was contacted in the morning to ask when we were arriving, so this could have been mentioned at this time so we could arrange other accommodation. They offered, only when we arrived, that they could possibly find an alternative place for us, but this was a hassle for us to move again after travelling here already. There wasn't an offer of free breakfast or anything to compensate. It's not really a great place to stay, more of just a cafe in my opinion.

    Nicely designed rooms and fairly comfortable bed.

    We paid a little bit more comparing other places in Ahangama hoping it will be clean,but it wasn’t.Also we were bothered too many times by the staff. In example we checked in and 2 mins later we were asked to pay. Also before check-out the staff came again to REMIND the check out is 11:00(even though it was not 11:00 yet). Then when my boyfriend opened the fridge, a wine bottle dropped to the floor and broke. We had to pay half of the bottle even though the bottle was in the fridge so that it was loose and easily fell down. In my opinion it was the fault of broken fridge rather than us. Then we asked not to bring another bottle but the staff had brought one while we were away. It almost dropped too. Maybe you should fix the fridges of put the wine bottle somewhere else than the door.

    Bedroom was okay

    Nothing at all! Such a great place!

    Loved the vibes, the setting on the paddy field is beautiful and serene, the food and coffee are so good, the rooms are so cute, spacious and clean! Really well designed! The shampoo is DIVINE! Lovely, friendly staff! Only very minor issue was that the pool was littered with leaves the day we arrived. It didn't make for an inviting dip, however, I did see the clean it the next day. I saw the staff cleaning everything else really well!

    The staff was a bit chaotic although helpful and always smiling. The manager was obviously in a hurry and did not pay the same attention to the details as the architect. So we had to ask twice for the wifi password and even after that, the password didn't work (I just gave up after that). We were told we got a welcome drink and then we had to ask for it and in the end got another guest's drink. It was more of an annoyance rather then a disspoitment.

    The place is a visually appealing boho-style house and coffee place. Whoever built it paid a lot of attention to detail. It's the main reason why we felt great here. There are only a few rooms and the coffee house closes at 4pm. After that it's a very quite location with the sounds of birds all around. The view of the swamp and rice fields in front is charming.
