Valentin

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.

Tung Yu, Taiwan

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.

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！
