Out of the way unlicensed guest house with hidden charges (600Rs.) for wifi and arrogant cunning owner. Our pre-booked room was given to someone else. Wouldn't stay there again.

That place it's ok, but owner is so stingy. He just want money. I understand that's his business but he doesn't let you give an step without asking for money. He's so annyoying with that. I hope he change his acttitude. El lugar esta bien, pero el propietario solo piensa en el dinero. Entiendo que es un negocio, pero no te deja dar ni un paso sin que pagues previamente. Es un poco agobiante. Espero que cambie su actitud. El resto de gente en Sri Lanka, maravillosa.

Owner Comment (Show)
He seems to be averse to paying for services offered. We have been left high and dry by some of our visitors who have left without paying,hence the need to collect dues on signing in,sorry about that but we have to change our stance according to the way some visitors have behaved at our expense.

We now classify our reviewers based on how well travelled they are.
