The lovely, caring staff. The aesthetics of our room and the place itself.

The walk to the beach (about 20-25 minutes) and the main town (30+ minutes) were a bit more than expected when booking. Although the route was lovely.

A hidden gem! Ein wenig außerhalb vom Trouble von Ahangama haben sie hier etwas Wundervolles geschaffen. Tolles Ambiente, stilvoll eingerichtet, hilfsbereites freundliches Team, wahnsinnig gutes Essen. Man fühlt sich sb der ersten Sekunde pudelwohl und als wäre mein zu Gast bei Freunden.

De kamer was ideaal en heel comfortabel

De wifi is ontzettend slecht. Ik moest werken, maar heb heel weinig kunnen doen

The place is beautifully decorated and the outdoor shower was a dream.

However, something very unexpected happened during our stay that really dampened the experience. I left my Birkenstocks outside the door overnight, which is a very common and culturally typical thing to do in Sri Lanka. In the morning, I found them chewed up and destroyed—apparently by the property's dog. When I brought it up to the staff, they told me I shouldn’t have left my shoes outside. I understand hotel policies vary, but given the local customs and the fact that it’s common practice here, I felt this response lacked empathy. They did offer us free breakfast and a pair of slippers as compensation, which was appreciated—but honestly not what I was looking for. I would have expected some sort of reimbursement to help replace my shoes. If a guest broke something inside the hotel, they’d likely be charged full price—so I think the same logic should apply in reverse. Overall, not a terrible stay, but disappointing handling of an incident that could’ve been resolved with a bit more accountability.
