Lake Ibis

Strongly recommend you to try this jungle style with air-conditioner lakeside hotel!

The room and services exceeded the expectation. On the night upon our arrival, the hsot had already asked about our dinner preferences and prepared everything so we could relax and enjoy the meal right after the safari. - Room: spacious enough for multiple suitcases, with kettle, refrigerator, and kitchenware provided. The air-conditioner and fan worked well to cool the room, you may want to switch them off with just a thin sheet at night. The bed was large and comfortable, and the room was clean, tidy and bug-free. Convenient sockets were placed by the bedside and in the lounge area. - Bathroom: designed with a jungle theme, it felt like bathing in the wild. Small frogs often appeared near the sink or toilet-nothing to fear, as they are part of wildlife. Just remember to close the toilet lid to keep them out. Toiletries, hair dryer and towels are provided though only cold water was available. Cleanliness was well maintained. - Food: the dining area faces the lake, making it a perfect spot to relax while enjoying meals and drinks. Portions were generous, so better request smaller servings to avoid food waste during their difficult times. - Carpark: parking was right in front of the room, making it safer and convenient to manage your belongings. - Service: the host was friendly, talkative and knowledgeable on recognizing the birds as he worked as a guide before. He shared the books and encouraged us to record the species sighting from the lake on the dining wall. He was always ready the food for us, so you won’t get hungry after the trip. - Location: just one step from the lake which is the easiest spot to catch the sunrise and sunset, and watch the birds flying in the early morning. This privilege the nearby hotel, which requires you to walk across their fences, can’t offer.

− - Room: some sockets are still using the three round pins, an adaptor might need. - Dining area: Dining by the lake can attract mosquitoes. - Bathroom: use the curtain and mat to avoid slipping after a shower. - Location: not their fault, but the music festival held on the far side of the lake was too noisy until 2am. This noise pollution should reflect to the government which truly affected other tourists and the local people.

Как будто побывали у родных. Хозяин безумно клиентоориентированный. Старается сделать все, что бы тебе было действительно уютно. Большая комната, удобная постель. Мы привыкли к одеялам, которых на Шри Ланке встретишь далеко не везде в силу климата, но нам было предоставлено отличное покрывало. Очень интересная ванная - вроде бы и в помещении, и в то же время на природе, вся в зелени. Отель прямо на берегу озера, поэтому насекомые на улице есть, но в комнате очень мощный фумигатор - ни одного укуса за ночь. С хозяином очень интересно поговорить - много где бывал и многое видел. Утром отличный завтрак. Помогли с организацией такси в аэропорт!

The kind and friendly host will make sure you have the perfect experience. The homestay is very specious, clean, comfortable and really nicely decorated, it’s overlooking the beautiful lake. You are surrounded by wild birds and a little tortoise even came up to the homestay from the lake. The host organises a great safari, with a guide that tell you all you need to know about the park and wildlife. Thanks for a great stay!
