Decent, but not enough focus on foreign tourists,

Reviewed By Sandya-and-Erik

Friendly and helpful staff. Good rooms for the price; modern bathrooms with hot water, good AC, small balconies with lagoon view. Good 3-course dinner. Pool small; on the one hand good (bathrooms with showers) on the other hand restrictive (weird rule about not being allowed to use 'solo if unattended', and no pool towels. Breakfast totally insufficient for tourists: continental part was toast and jam (& tea & lemonade), no fruits no eggs. For the rest all spicy Lankan breakfast dishes,

Good Home Stay Unit

Reviewed By antonselvakumard

Mala’s Home Stay is a good home stay unit closer to Batticaloa city centre. We, a team of members from NPTA (Northern Province Tourism Association) visited this property as part of our learning visit to the Eastern Province. Mala herself a very active and interesting host. The property is a perfect example of a Typical Home Stay Unit. We had a good time there and Mala served us a very good lunch for us. The property offers not only accommodation but also tours, food, cooking courses etc……… Recommending Mala’s Home Stay. Dilan

Hamsaam Villa

About us: Hamsaam Villa is a small, friendly and secure guest house with a family atmosphere at Kallady, which is 5 minutes drive from the Batticaloa town. The surrounding neighborhood is quiet, safe and is within easy reach of both the beach and the lagoon. Facilities like breakfast, lunch and dinner available at the request of the guests. The popular Passikudah beach is only 30 minutes drive from our guest house.

Basic and Ok Place

We stayed here for the day. The room was ok. A/C worked. Its a short tuk ride from the town. Closer to the Kallady bridge. Did not eat. Generally ok. Owner was helpful and welcoming. The lagoon was a short walk away. Ok budget option.

15LMD

Transport yourself to the 17th Century as you watch the fishermen cast their nets from their canoes by the Dutch Fort, and imagine how it would have been for the Dutch administrators who lived in this house. With arguably the best verandah in Batticaloa, 15 Lady Manning Drive has a superb view of the Dutch Fort and provides comfortable accommodation for those who want to experience a slice of Batticaloa history.

Another favourite stop

Reviewed By Barbara M

Will we ever tire of sitting on the veranda here, taking in the fantastic view across the water to the fort and Ghandi gardens. No !! It's worth coming just to take in the history of the building with it's array of Dutch colonial furniture. We are always well looked after by Mallar and Ranjan and the food is just out of this world.

Very warm welcome. Cozy little family business.

Reviewed By Patrick B

The Resort is well located: close to the beach and only a 5 min. tuk tuk ride from the center. The owner gave us a warm welcome and provided us with a refreshing coconut right upon our arrival. The resort itself has not very much to offer, which is perfectly fine. Because all you need is a comfortable bed and cleanliness, of which both were to find there. I rented their Motorbike for a whole day and it only costed me about 5 dollars.

Quelle déception!

Reviewed By Vanessa F

Nous avions réservé pour deux nuits en août. La GH est très très éloignée de Batticaloa, y aller à pied est impossible, ce qui complique les déplacements. Pas de restos ouverts à proximité et personne sur place le soir pour appeler des tuk tuk pour nous; nous avons dû nous contenter d'une viennoiserie en guise de repas du soir faute de pouvoir nous déplacer. Nous avions demandé au proprio s'il pouvait nous trouver des scooters à louer, fin de non recevoir, ce n'était soi disant pas possible. Nous avons dit au logeur que nous envisagions de ne pas rester la seconde nuit , il a pris la liberté d'annuler notre chambre sans nous en informer et de nous réclamer le coût total des deux nuits + des commissions qu'il devrait payer au site par lequel nous étions passé pour réserver ( commission déjà réglée dans le prix de la chambre. Bref une vraie galère qui nous a fait oublier que les chambres étaient grandes et plutôt sympas. Je déconseille vivement

Naaval

Tranquility and beautiful surroundings add colour to this 10 room chalet hotel. Rooms are with air-conditioned with teak floors and Jacuzzi, mini bar, coffee machine, etc to give comfort to the guests. The restaurant serves Western, Eastern and authentic Sri Lankan dishes. Walk across to beautiful beaches with lush green casurina trees to give ample shade during sunny hours.

Off the beaten Path, Clean and good food

ONE OF THE WORST PLACE I HAVE EVER BEEN

Reviewed By Nivethihan P

Great Location. Accessibility wise it’s a convenient place that’s all. Bar is open till 12 midnight. When its come to cleanliness it’s really really poor in maintenance. Trashes all over the places, room was full of cobweb and dust. Poor coordination within the management itself. I have booked for double room, but I have got two separate beds. 80% of the items weren’t there from whatever they have mentioned in the booking engines. There were no free toiletries, slippers, tea/coffee maker, wake-up service, ironing facility, safe, Balcony and so on. Especially there was not any intercom phone connection between the rooms and the front desk. They have mentioned 24 hrs service, but half of the time was struggling to find an employee at front desk. Few rooms have the Cable TV connections and others just has a TV. The room which I have stayed (106) does not has a proper water drainage way. If you take a bath water stays in the bathroom. Service was very poor and slow. I have ordered a coffee and received after 45 minutes and had to remind them thrice to get my coffee. Mentioned free breakfast but I would suggest to go out and have a proper meals. Swimming Pool was greenish color and not maintained regularly. During the check out since they don’t have a proper system, we have struggled more to get the process done. Even though I was entitled for a breakfast I was asked to pay for the morning coffee such a greedy for money. I was suggesting to remove false informations from the online and was trying to point out the things I went through during my stay to the so called Manager, I have received the replay saying not to expect the same as 5-star standards here where I was expecting just an ordinary service from a hotel. Incase if you ever had to visit this place and if any above incident happens to you, there is nothing to be surprised at. I would not recommend it to anyone.
