Villa DeLorenta

An excellent bed clean room and a hot shower ( first one in Sri Lanka)

The bike I rented was unsafe , had no brakes, gears nor a secure seat. It should not be offered. Location was far away from tourist sites

Villa DeLorenta is a nice place to stay. We got a room in the first floor with a nice small Balcony where we could let the rainy hours pass. The Room had a good size and was equipped with TV and Fridge. We asked for a kettle and got one. The owner and the stuff are really friendly and helpful. They do not provide food, but help you to find the place where you can get easily breakfast or other food.

The attention of the owner was great, he will make sure you have all you need for having the best experience

Great location, spacious rooms, and reliable internet There are definitely some strong positives about this property. The location is excellent—less than 1 km from the new town, with a great, easily accessible access road. There are also plenty of restaurants nearby, making dining out very convenient. The room itself is very spacious, and the bathroom is equally good with plenty of space. The Wi-Fi connection was fast and reliable throughout our stay, which was a huge plus.

Not ideal for introverts or anyone expecting basic self-sufficiency If you are an introvert or simply value privacy and convenience, this stay can feel quite exhausting. Unlike most standard accommodations where basics are already in the room, almost everything here requires asking the staff repeatedly. We had to ask for an electric kettle, only to find it was kept inside a locked kitchen that required staff to open every time. The iron was missing as well and had to be requested repeatedly. The AC was taped up so the louvers couldn't swing, the remote display was barely readable, and the temperature controls did not work, staying at a fixed temperature throughout. The house rules add to the discomfort: food isn’t allowed in the bedrooms, yet the kitchen is locked and dining area lights are shut off at night, leaving nowhere reasonable to eat. The property gate is locked at 10:00 PM, meaning you either rush back early or feel awkward having to call and wake the staff to let you in. In the morning, you also have to coordinate an exact gate-opening time with them in advance. Lastly, the room is advertised as soundproof, but it clearly isn't, we could easily hear noise from adjacent rooms and outside. The staff isn't necessarily rude, but having to constantly interrupt them just to get basic amenities and access makes you feel like an inconvenient burden rather than a paying guest.
