We were very bluffed by the amazing view we got from our room and from the rooftop bar. I suspect this view will not last as another skyscraper is in progress of building just next to it. The hotel deco is a little bit too "red" and the staff said they are aiming for "funky" look. It is refreshing to have a very modern hotel in Colombo but I am a bit sceptic that it m...

Only one staff person spoke English. He was very attentive though and tried hard to please. When you called reception, they would not answer just sent the English speaking man to take care of you. There was a bar and restaurant but they didn't seem to want us to go there. We ordered and then they brought the food to us. Food service could be a bit slow.

Staying at Hamsaam really made our visit to Batticaloa. The host Rajah is really nice & helped us in any possible way & WOW the food was the best we'd eaten on our whole trip! The villa is amid a quaint maze of village streets alive with spirituality & friendly locals. Highly recommend Hamsaam Villa.

One of the best experience in whole srilanka😊the family was awesome and cute at the same time, thank you for everything❤️we felt so comfortable😘the beach is only 200m from the accommodation, a little supermarket only across the road. If you need a scooter it's 1500per day. The wifi was pretty good. I hope we see you soon. 🌴Asis, Julie, Zuleika & Manuel🌴

The room has no ventilation so no fresh air flowing into the room. There is no charging plug point for mobile or laptop. The door mat provided outside bathroom doesn't absorb water, so room becomes slippery.

The room was a separate wooden bungalow with private bathroom. I liked the setup a lot. Also a private seating area overlooking the spaceous garden. Just gets very hot during the day inside the room but hey, just go to the beach. Very friendly owners who also provide breakfast at a reasonable price.

Great value for your money as a number of the other hotels here are over-hyped and over priced. The rooms are super clean and comfortable and you are a hop, skip and a jump to the beach and a number of the eating establishments in the area. Staff is also very friendly.

Having read the reviews about the owners being not so friendly and helpful I was very sceptical in staying here. We were a group of 3 and we had a fantastic stay here for 4 nights ! We had every help we could get from the owners (2 brothers). I would come back to stay here if I find myself in Trincomalee again :)

We stayed one night at Chilaw City Hotel on our journey North from Negombo. We were the only guests; the main business of the hotel seems to be hosting weddings and parties. Our room was plain with bed, wardrobe and dressing table. The staff were fiendly. The food was fresh but not special. The hotel has a great swimming pool which was very welcome after a hot moto...

I initially planned on staying one week at the Sanmali resort as my first stop in Sri Lanka, but enjoyed it so much I added another week The staff was so friendly & accommodating it was easy to feel like I lived there. The pictures fail to do the sunset justice, I would (in fact, will) stay there again. However, some notes for the potential visitor: -The Wi-Fi is hi...

We were amazed by friendly, multilingual and attentive hosts. Owner Upul, Venoja (sorry if miss-spelled) and all the staff of that place made us feel like a part of the family. We have arrived at 4:00 AM and were met by owner, ate delicious breakfast and were placed in the cool and clean room in meter of minutes. Later that day we have seen fishermen pooling their net...

Overall we were very happy with our stay at St Annes Lagoon House but there was some issues. Our room was fantastic. Lovely bed, outdoor bathroom and lounge room. The issues with the room were little hot water, the blinds provided no privacy, and all towels reeked of mothballs. The White Room which we had (which appeared to be the best by far) also opened up onto the p...

We arrived from the train station in Puttalam, 15Km away, by tuk-tuk Rp650 and were very impressed with the first impressions of this resort. Apparently it only opened 8 months ago. The open air restaurant, with a large roof was quite unique. There are only 8 rooms, 4 chalets (with ac) and 4 cabanas. We stayed in a chalet, which was quite comfortable, but sparsely furn...

I was very disappointed by my stay here. The staff were very rude. One member lied about the bus times to avoid having to make my breakfast at 7.30 (breakfast was over-priced, and I had already paid for it). I was under time pressure to get a bus to take me to the airport, and the staff rudely demanded payment for a drink they had forgotten to add to my bill two days p...

I've stayed in many hotels of various star quality but I've never experienced such amazing service and adventure. Firstly, we got in a boat and were taken to the island with our belongings. We then got into a tractor to take us through the rugged terrain (beach tracks) to the resort. I was with a few older couples who also thoroughly enjoyed the experience but I imag...

Had a short business visit to Mannar. It has always been a struggle to get some decent accommodation in Mannar. I managed to book in on the Agoda.com on 14th Feb and made the reservation on line.it was love at first sight. Location was great and the reception on arrival was good. Lunch was served with crab curry which was excellent. I had space for a business meeting ...

We tried booking though the guest houses website but after no response we needed up booking with Agoda. Upon arrival they did seem to be expecting us. The room was made up. No bed sheets, towels or soap. The mattress and pillows where stained and smelt. There may be a lack of accommodation in Mannar but this is below average. We have been traveling around Asia for 6 mo...

The room price seems attractive because according to information posted on Agoda it includes breakfast. However, after we had arrived to the hotel the owner wanted us to pay extra for breakfast. Although we showed confirmation email from Agoda that says that breakfast is included the owner did not agree to provide us breakfast free of extra charge. To add insult to inj...

The hotel is located two minutes away from the town and is quite convenient, as bird watching is mostly before the Mannar town on the Medawachchiya road or the Silavathurai road. It is also convenient to get to Talaimannar pier and the nearby village, as the hotel is central to all these places. The property is maintained fairly well and the manageress Noeline was ver...

The house is currently rented by Stefano who is soon opening a kite school there and should not be on agoda website as it is not available to rent. Fortunately he looked after us very well while we were there but there should be no more bookings via agoda.

The owner (staffs) had completely no idea but upon our explaination & from his son who had set up agoda booking, he was satisfied & let us settled in our rooms.The rooms were outdated, so & so, its just ok for a stopover.The owner( staff) did their best in arranging our dinner bought from outsi...

Room was very clean with a/c and good. No Breakfast/Tea/Drinking Water provided. There was a near by canteen, but the tea served there was horrible. If you are looking only for a stay, no meals, it's a good place

Pros - Good location and neat, tidy rooms - Very obliging management who responded positively to our requests, eg for extra towels, special breakfasts, etc - Good air conditioning in bedrooms and ceiling fan in separate living area - Large veranda with table that could seat all 12 of us for dining. However this would have been a problem if other guests wished to din...

We understand that this is one of 2 hotels with ok room in Mullaitivu. However this is no excuse for the poor experience we had. 1- Receptionist lacking basic customer service skills and lacking knowledge on booking systems. 2- due to lack of understanding of booking we were originally booked wrong room. Had to negotiate to get decent standard room (booking price was $...
