Asanke has been an excellent host. I was made feel like at home, enjoyed the huge garden and met wonderful people. I couldn't have asked for more and the breakfast was proper Sri Lankan what is really a plus.

My first homestay towards the end of my trip, intention for 2 nights, turned into 4 nights. When you’re missing home a bit, this place felt like home to me, Asanka really brought me a lot of joy, chaos and fun, highly recommend the stay here

Pretty much everything except for a few things.
The fans in the dorm room I was staying in were so weak, it was hard to fall asleep. Also there was no curtain next to my bed and the large glass window lets the sunlight in making it difficult to sleep or even nap while the sun is up.

Die Anlage ist schön in einem großen Garten und die Ehefrau und die Tochter sind super nett. Der Besitzer ist aber sehr problematisch. Man kan vor Ort direkt einen Scooter mieten. Den braucht man auch definitiv, da das Hostel ein Stück außerhalb liegt. Es ist nicht schlecht, aber absolut basic und ohne geglichen Comfort.
Der Besitzer ist zwar nett, aber redet ganz schlecht über frühere Gäste und macht sich extrem lustig über seine Langzeit-Mieter. Er sagt man solle sich wie zu Hause fühlen und könne alles benutzen, wollte mich aber dann allen ernstes für zwei Mal Pasta kochen in der Küche extra zahlen lassen, weil man die Küche anscheinend nicht nutzen darf (hat er mir vorher aber nicht gesagt). Das Abendessen ist lecker, aber viel zu teuer, geht lieber ins Dorf was essen. Für ein Bier will er ernsthaft 1000 Rupien, wo das Bier im Laden 200 kostet. Auch musste ich am Ende mehr zahlen als in meiner Booking Reservierung stand. Für das Wasser aus dem Wasserspender wird jedes Mal was berechnet. Das Wlan funktioniert nur im Haupthaus der Familie, die ab 21 Uhr die Haustüren schließt. Der Zug fährt direkt am Haus vorbei, sodass es mehrmals pro Stunde richtig laut wird.
Das Frühstück ist das Schlechteste das ich je in einem Hostel hatte, sodass ich nach 2 Tagen keins mehr genommen habe. Man bekommt 2 Stücke Obst und ein paar Bohnen oder harte Toasts und schwarzen Kaffee. In den 5 Tagen, die ich dort war, wurde das Zimmer und das Bad kein einziges Mal geputzt, kein Müll geleert und für Klopapier musste man immer extra fragen. Im Zimmer ist es brühend heiß. Während meiner ersten Nacht sind aus dem Lattenrost von meinem Bett die Latten rausgefallen, sodass ich das Bett wechseln musste.
Es ist wirklich nur das bare minumum. Geht lieber woanders hin!
