L’accoglienza di Kelum e della moglie. La posizione ad un passo dal centro e la vista

Location is near to Kandy lake and view point.

Bathroom is new and clean. But the bathroom fittings are not good, should be made properly.

"Se vuoi essere defilato dal centro, è un posto ottimo."

7.0

La vista e il balcone sono molto piacevoli magari dopo una giornata di caldo e movimento, l’oste è gentile e ospitale.

L’unico problema è stata la muffa o macchie di umido, molta e dappertutto. Non crea odori spiacevoli, abbiamo dormito bene!

Chambre confortable avec un balcon et une magnifique vue sur Kandy. Kelum et son épouse sont adorables et nous ont donné leurs conseils pour visiter la ville. Nous avons pu dîner un bon rice and curry sans les avoir prévenus en amont. Nous avons pu réserver via eux des places pour la Perahera. Logement sur les hauteurs de la ville, trajet rapide à pied mais bien pentu, sinon les tuktuks pour s’y rendre ne coûtent pas grand chose. Nous recommandons !

"Posto molto accogliente con una bella vista, consigliato!"

10.0

La struttura è accogliente così come il proprietario. L'host parla anche un po' di italiano ed è disponibile per qualsiasi richiesta. Ci ha organizzato il tour della giornata a Kandy prenotando per noi anche i posti davanti per vedere lo spettacolo di danza tipica. Il giorno della nostra partenza ci ha organizzato nel giro di 5 minuti un tuk tuk per raggiungere la stazione dei bus. C'è una bellissima vista dall'alto sulla città e sul verde. Ci sono il sapone e l'acqua calda. C'è anche un Wi-Fi potentissimo, cosa molto rara in Sri Lanka.

Leggermente fuori dal centro con attrazioni e negozi, ma non è un grosso problema se si chiama un tuk tuk (4 minuti per arrivare in centro) o se si vuole fare una passeggiata

"Kelum Homestay n’a RIEN d’un homestay"

2.0

La jolie vue de la chambre

Kelum home stay, n’a rien d’un home stay. Un home stay est une forme d’hospitalité où des visiteurs partagent une résidence avec un local. A peine un bonjour, meme pas un aurevoir, Kelum a subitement arrêté de nous parler à l’instant meme de notre refus d’aller voir des danseurs,activité organisée par ses soins (cf à un autre commentaire qui parlait d’une grosse arnaque). En plus d’être antipathique et de ne meme pas nous proposer un petit dejeuner, un check out, ses chambres sont extrêmement humides, rendant le tout moisi et nauséabond. La salle de bain est donc trempée en continu, tout comme les draps (sans air co bien évidemment). Certes, nous avons payé la modeste somme de 16$ la nuit, cependant cela ne peut pas surement pas négliger un accueil de ce type. Nous ne comprenons pas non plus les commentaires dithyrambiques sur la chambre, dépourvue d’équipements les plus basiques, si ce n’est son odeur d’humidité. Bon courage à Kelum pour ses travaux, qui nous ont réveillé le matin.

Die Lage ist abseits der Stadt, was einerseits schön ist weil es einen wunderschönen Blick gibt, andererseits sind alle Restaurants fußläufig 15 Minuten weg. Der Besitzer ist freundlich. Die Zimmer sind okay sauber, leider sind sie sehr feucht, so dass es muffig riecht. Außerdem gibt es unglaublich viele Mücken und keine Mückennetze. Das ist schade.

I enjoyed staying at Kelums very much. He is such a lovely person. My room was very clean and comfortable with beautiful views from the balcony. Kelum made me coffee when I arrived and he gave me fantastic advice for my ongoing travel. Thanks Kelum, everything was just perfect.
