Kethaka Aga

HUGE FAMILY BEDROOM, LOVELY VIEW AND SWIMMING POOL, VERY FRIENDLY STAFF (THEY GOT UP EARLY TO MAKE US BREAKFAST TO TAKE ON A 4.30AM SAFARI), DELICIOUS FOOD (ORDER IN ADVANCE), VERY PEACEFUL, ONLY 3 BEDROOMS AND HAD PLACE TO OURSELVES FOR ONE DAY. GOOD BREAKFAST.

THEY NEED TO PUT BACK THE MOSQUITO NETS ON THE BEDS (AS SHOWN ON BOOKING.COM) AS THERE WERE A FEW BUGS, QUITE REMOTE.

Large, comfortable rooms with good AC. Very comfy bed and good shower. Beautiful pool and grounds. Large sitting area. Hotel is very well maintained and nicely decorated. Very basic breakfast included. Good value for money.

There were no additional services or facilities at the hotel and there are no shops or restaurants close by. It would be good to have a small refrigerator in the room to allow guests to keep some items. There are some good places to eat that can be reached by taxi.

The property is breathtaking as and when you enter and the price the offer is a steal deal for anyone who wants to experience a 5 star feel.

Everything is so perfect....can't tell you anything

The location is great, very close to the Yala park and the guides come and pick you up in the morning. The staff is very welcoming and caring. The parking is big. The first impression is wonderful; large foyer, big pool, welcoming service, spacious rooms and bathroom, blackout curtains (a rarity in Sri Lanka). The staff prepares a to-go breakfast at 5:30 when you go to Yala park.

Compared to other places we stayed at for the same amount of money in Sri Lanka I'd say it under-delivers. The furniture looks and feels very old and dusty, the A/C unit is unable to keep the room sufficiently cool even if on for the whole night (maybe a ceiling fan, or a stronger A/C unit would help), the cleanliness is poor (the bathroom is moldy, with wildlife freely roaming inside including ants, geckoes and a cockroach). It's hard communicating with the hosts, they do not speak english. Based on the pictures, we expected more. We would not come again.
