The Rook House in Hiriketiya

Beste verblijf van onze trip in Sri Lanka! Schone kamers, heeerlijk zwembad, lekkere ligbedjes/stoelen en een super vriendelijke host. De locatie wordt als minpunt vaak benoemd. Het klopt dat de weg erna toe hobbelig is maar wij waren met de tuktuk waardoor dit goed te doen is. Ook heeft dit positieve punten waardoor het huis heel rustig ligt, weinig buren/ geen last van de buren en paar keer per dag komen er gezellig apen langs lopen die op een veilige afstand blijven en die je vanuit het zwembad goed kan bekijken. Voor ons was de locatie dus juist een plus punt.

The house was excellent, very welcoming and helpful. He was responsive by message and made she we had everything we needed :)

The property was about a 15 minute walk to the beach, but we still loved it!

Cozy villa. Had all the kitchen utensils we needed

The garden wasn’t clean as we expected.

A peaceful little bungalow with lots of space. We had two kids who enjoyed running around in the large garden and seeing a few monkeys and peahens and being close to nature. The kitchen was well equipped. We bought our own spices and rations so we were able to cook a few of our own meals. The bathrooms are spacious and well maintained. The rooms are a great size too. The living room is great to hang out and has a variety of books and games to choose from. Communication with the owner was seamless. The caretaker was efficient and very courteous.

Nothing to dislike. Just a few notes. Only one room has A/C. Although it doesn't feel too hot as all areas have fans, the humidity during dry weather can make it feel slightly warm. Location wise - advisable to have your own vehicle because it's slightly interior or rent a scooter to make the commute easier or speak to the caretaker and arrange a tuk tuk for pick ups.

Very clean! Kitchen is fully equipped and great for long stay.

Access road is difficult for small car. Better to come in SUV type vehicle. Air conditioning is available only in one room. Better to have in all rooms.
