I'm really sad to say this but I was disappointed with our stay here. The hotel has such potential; the views are incredible, the rooms are pretty and quite unique, and the staff are very friendly. Plus the breakfast was amazing! The home made bread in particular was just beautiful! However, a couple of issues unfortunately over shadowed the great potential of this hotel. Firstly, the bugs - they were everywhere! I get that we are in the middle of Sri Lanka's hills and that bugs are to be expected, but there were SO many and they were literally everywhere, I feel the hotel could do something to reduce how many they were, perhaps better insulation or even those plug-in bug detracting things. Secondly, the cleanliness, we didn't get housekeeping everyday like advertised and when they did come in one day they simply made the bed; the glasses hadn't been washed and there were dead bugs all over the floor (which obviously hadn't been swept) and there were cobwebs with other dead bugs in the lamp on the bedside table. It wasn't me being picky and overly looking into these things as it was glaringly obvious. And finally, we had no hot water for 1.5 days. The hotel relies on solar heating, which is great, but as it had been a cold and wet day, there was no hot water, which on a day like that is when you would want it most! This is all stuff that could be rectified so hopefully the hotel will take these comments on board and if they do this hotel would be an amazing place to stay.
