"Wspaniałe miejsce z prywatnym basenem, przestronnymi pokojami i świetną obsługą"

10.0

Wspaniałe miejsce - piękny ogród, duża przestrzeń, w każdym pokoju bardzo wygodne łóżko i prywatna łazienka. Basen cudowny z krystaliczną wodą. Obsługa doskonała. To był nasz ostatni przystanek na Sri Lance i pozwolił nam naprawdę odpocząć. Bardzo polecamy!

"With a little bit of maintenance, it would be a great place to have a quiet holiday."

7.0

Beautiful, peaceful property. The house & pool were very clean. Well-kept garden. Comfortable beads. Clean linen. Nice polite staff. tasty meals. Comfortable beds. Air-conditioning was good.

Needed some repairs like the door leading to the pool couldn't be closed, some bulbs were not working, staircase leading to upstairs room was corroded and light on the staircase was not working. There was no manager / responsible person to be seen. Even a short visit would have helped. Staff were able to attend to only limited requests.

"Truly great staff"

8.0

Fantastisk service og personal, pluss nydelig interiør og et eksklusivt preg

Veldig mye mygg, flere av lysene og viftene som ikke fungerte, pluss flere andre ting i huset som snart burde byttes ut

"Good"

6.0

The property is pleasant and spacious. The staff were very supportive and assisted us in preparing special meals for our child.

The property is in need of multiple repairs. The stairs contain damaged areas posing a risk to children, the showers fail to deliver adequate hot water, and the window curtains are broken and difficult to operate. Privacy is compromised, as the interior becomes visible to neighboring properties and staff areas when the curtains are open. Furthermore, the advertised amenities, including a washing machine, oven, microwave, and ironing facilities, were not available. I would recommend arranging meals externally, as the food quality was below expectations, despite the efforts of the staff. In conclusion, the property did not provide good value for the money.
