Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We got to the property and did not have the upgraded rooms. Apparently they don’t read their emails or bookings from Expedia. We had to scramble to get just regular rooms. The actual rooms hardly anything worked including the locks, the safe, the bathtub did not work properly. It was quite a disappointment. Considering we thought we were getting an upgraded experience. I would not go there again.

従業員の方々のサービスはとても良かったです。本来朝食が7-10:00でしたが私が早朝サファリに行くと伝えるとお弁当を用意してくれてました! 部屋は虫とかもちょこちょこ出るので少し注意は必要かな、と思います! 男性一人旅とかなら全然問題ないかと!

Der lugtede lidt fugtigt på værelset. Poolen var lidt beskidt. Madrasserne på solsengen var meget slidte. Restauranten var lukket. Vi kunne ikke betale med Visakort da vi skulle afsted fordi nettet ikke virkede. Vi måtte skaffe kontanter.

Disliked: Room comfort

Pooooor wifi and unstable water pressure

Poooooor shower water at 11am after we finished Lion Rock climbing and covered with sweat. Told them when we checked out but the manager just smile easily with "so sry" and then charged me 200 rupee for a bottle of water. And their wifi is soooooo bad. Loaction is not good in Sigiria, tuktuk is the only solution. I recommend to stay closer to the rock.

會建議朋友們選擇的優美酒店

小屋很美麗,早餐有待改善,因為吃了就不會添加的。另外,此酒店保安做得十分好,讓人充滿了安全感。這裡絕對是人間仙景!
