Flower Garden Eco Village

Wir sind eine Nacht eher als geplant abgereist überall im Zimmer hat hat es gekreucht und fleucht. Nicht nur ein paar Mitbewohner was im Wald ja normal ist, hier wurden die Ecken seit Jahren nicht sauber gemacht. Ist auch irgendwie abseits gelegen Transport funktioniere nur wenn man ins Zentrum rein läuft, wo man sich im dunkeln nicht gerade sicher gefühlt hat. Das Frühstück war ganz in Ordnung, aber das Personal hat sich bei nicht Verstehen nicht nochmal erkundigt sodass die Verständigung schwer war.

We were very happy with our stay. It is a family business that really strived to make our stay comfortable. We arrived very early in the morning and could even, for a minimal fee, pay to check in at 7am!

We enjoyed our stay. It is a rural location so have transport organised- set back from restaurants and main road- but close to everything. Good room, menu and amenities. The staff were excellent and very helpful.

We booked 3 nights in a deluxe double room - if that was the case I dread to think what their standard rooms were like. Our room was damp and mouldy. Our clothes in the suitcases smelt damp. The room had big cobwebs everywhere. The ceiling fan was filthy. The bathroom had mould and the toilet brush was disgusting. The listing said it had mosquito nets but this was not the case. The menu for dinner was limited with a lot of items unavailable. Breakfast was not good either again limited options and the cooked items were cold. Of course I discussed the room situation with the staff but there wasn’t the option to move. The staff did their best with organising tuk tuks and transfer to Negombo which we were thankful for. We decided to move on a day/night early to get away from the mould and damp. The above makes us sound like divas but that is not the case. We are seasoned travellers and accept that accommodation in the forest/jungle of Sigiriya would not be 5 star especially when they have a lot of rain, but we would like to think the listing on this site would be representative of what we would get. By all accounts there are better places to stay close by, perhaps I didn’t look closely enough. Don’t make the same mistake we did!
