    1. Stayed 4 nights, but the room was not cleaned even a single time. 2. The boat trip was boring, doesn't worth 10000 rupees.

    1. Incredible design of the hotel. Evey corner is so beautiful. 2. Personnel is very kind and helpful. Special thanks for Saumi and her husband, they were very kind, played with our little son everyday.

    A couple more or changing breakfast options would have been great if we’d been staying longer, but the ones we had were very tasty and fine for the number of nights we stayed.

    We absolutely loved it, and ended up extending our stay. It is an Oasis a 5-10 min moped ride from the Main Street. Felt very luxurious and we were well looked after by the very friendly Sri Lankan staff and Eggplant the dog. The property looks out onto the river which we took a canoe out on guided by a local man, which can be arranged through the hotel. Food and drink was delicious, best tea I had in Sri Lanka

    Felt the breakfast options to be more refined and to be served separately as opposed to aesthetically representing it. . ( I. E. I ordered the banana pancakes and I'm allergic to yogurt etc.. so I wish it was served separately) No sign boards on the road made it a bit difficult to figure out the location.

    The room and the property was beautiful and so peaceful. Loved it. Staff are really friendly and very accommodating.

    There were lots of flies due to the property being rural. The rooms were very dark, which could have been helped with better lighting. The outdoor toilet, bath, shower area was anxiety inducing due to the amount of mosquitos.

    The location, pool area, food and drink were perfect. The staff made a real difference, they were always there for everything you could want.

    Truly unique place - staying there I would call a proper experience. Managed by international group of professionals who constantly make sure you feel comfortable and happy. Rooms and bathrooms are stylish and spaciousness. Villa offers great European food and tailor-made cocktails menu. Sophisticated atmosphere and great chilled pool dayparties with professional DJs and seafood barbecue. Make sure you book a session with Nirbana’s resident massage therapist! He is a magician. Highly recommend for both short stay and a proper surf vacation. Hope to return soon!

    Road to the hotel was bumpy and that was the only minor hassle.

    The quaint quiet vibe by the river, excellent service, and tasty food and cocktails. The daytime chill sessions they have on Wednesday were also a nice musical experience.

    Occasionally noisy: if you stay on the 1st floor (rooms 11 and 12), there is a possibility for loud noise form the sport/workout area adjacent to the rooms of you are unlucky that day. We struggled to take a nap in the after noon of one day only as someone was doing boxing for 2 hours. Kind of takes away the charm of the quiet place in general. Chargeable extra coffee: the 2nd cup of coffee for breakfast is chargeable. Check in: while check in was smooth and easy, we weren’t given the facility tour we were promised with to explain the area and facilities.

    Location: 7 minutes away uphill from beach road by tuk tuk (available around the clock at the hotel’s entrance). Tucked away in a very quiet neighborhood. General look & feel: modern design blends nicely into the surrounding trees and man made lake, giving it a feeling of seclusion and tranquility. Also a swimming pool in the middle that can be used at any time with pool bar. Room: we checked in room 12 (one of 12 rooms, but one of 2 only rooms on the 1st floor while the remaining 10 rooms are located on ground floor. Room 12 comes with a balcony, facing the pool side). The room is spacious, the bathroom is quite nice, especially the shower. Very modern and minimalistic with stone feel. Staff: friendly and smiley, helpful and tentative. Breakfast: room comes with breakfast included (one choice of meal and one choice of hot drink from the menu. Extra items will be chargeable).

    Food was really poor. Service mixed. Majority Russian guests were think so that may have explained.

    Beautiful interior decor and finish. We stayed at multiple properties during stay : The Kip, Kara House, and Fort Printers, plus Good Story. We liked this very much in terms of design and finish.

    A little bit uncomfortable to reach the centre of Ahangama. Really expensive meals compared with what they offered and average country prices (we spent 45$ for 1 breakfast and 1 dinner). We also have problems with Wi-Fi and hot shower, they really doesn’t work at all.

    Beautiful location in the middle of the jungle. Everything was clean, the room was big and very comfortable.
