15LMD Villa in Front of the Lagoon

The historical nature of the building and the location . You could sit and imagine a bygone era.

I hate to say it , but aircon would have been nice.

- Beautiful old colonial house with an amazing view facing the lagoon, it feels like time just stops. Grab a book, sit down and relax :) - Very welcoming hosts who made us feel at home, - The best meal we've had in Sri Lanka ! Don't hesitate to ask Malar if you can watch her cook, it was a great experience !

L'accueil chaleureux et la gentillesse des propriétaires. Maison coloniale. La cuisine faite maison pour le dîner et petit déjeuner était délicieuse. Nous ne sommes restés qu'une nuit pour aller à l'aéroport de Batticaloa. C'est un très bon rapport qualité / prix.

Pas de climatisation mais nous n'avons pas souffert de la chaleur. Ici l'authentique prime.

Het diner en het ontbijt waren prima verzorgd.

Ik had me meer voorgesteld van de tuin en de hele atmosfeer.

HELPFUL HOSTS.FRIENDLY AND AVAILBLE ALL THE TIME.WENT OUT OF THE WAY TO HELP

We verbleven hier 1 nacht op doorreis naar Trincomallee. Het was een prachtig koloniaal huis met een zeer vriendelijke staf en mooi uitzicht op het fort. De ontvangst, het diner, ontbijt, etc waren allemaal erg goed verzorgd. Malar kookt heerlijk. De bedden waren prima en alles was schoon. Deze locatie kunnen we zeker aanraden.

Alles was goed.

The hosts are absolute excellent. Nothing was any trouble. they waited on us hand and foot. The building is quite old but has so much charm and history, the owners are fantastic and made us tea and coffee whenever we arrived. We had breakfast each day and an evening me on one. It was a fantastic traditional cooked Shell and Sea fish. Rice and vegetables were bought fresh each day. Proper coffee and tea. It was an absolute joy to be there. Location was good, shops, market, restaurants and stores all nearby. House is steeped in history and would absolutely stay there again. ,Owners were a delight.

If you want a modern well equipped hotel this is not for you, the wifi is a bit slow, theres only ceiling fans and no AC. But to be honest it did not matter as the whole experience was the best.

Die Gastgeber waren extrem freundlich, hilfsbereit und umsichtig. Das Frühstück war hervorragend und am Vorabend wurden wir wegen des Regens mit dem Tuktuk zum Restaurant gefahren und später auch wieder abgeholt. Das Haus ist ein interessantes Denkmal der kolonialen Architektur mit erhaltenerer räumlicher Struktur und vielen originalen Ausstattungselementen (z. B. Möbel und Türen) erwarten. Also wahrscheinlich eher nicht geeignet für Gäste, die übliche Raumstrukturen und überall moderne Ausstattungselemente erwarten.

Breakfast was very good and the workers were very friendly

Very unclean place- walls and floors were dirty. There was a rat in the bathroom. The water from the shower was just dripping so we could not have a shower! Rooms were very dark with no windows. We paid around Rs 19000 per day for a family room only because the other rooms were with shared bathrooms ! We expected a higher standard accommodation for the price we paid. Extremely disappointed! Made us very angry!

We had a nice stay, the room was comfortable, the house was lovely, our hosts were very hospitable and helpful, we chose to eat at the house and had the crab curry and had a lot of fun watching the cooking with Malar and Ranjan. We only had one night in Batticaloa but enjoyed exploring the market, the temples, the fort and this was a great base to do it.

It was a shame we were the only guests as it was very quiet (but this happened nearly everywhere we went in SL!) it rained a lot when we were here so we had some nice relaxing sits on the veranda watching the lake.
