Finde Hotels in Mahasenpura

We stayed here in order to do a half day safari with leopard-eye safaris (which was excellent by the way). The bedroom was excellent - good air conditioning, spacious, and quite modern. I took a can of fly-spray to get the mosquitos which was good - because of the high ceilings. The staff were great - and very friendly and couldn't do enough to be helpful - five stars for excellent service. The meals were great - and we thought well presented and much better than we expected. Very good value, and excellent service. Thanks to the staff. I wish I had left a bigger tip. Cons: 1. They cheaped-out on the chlorine for the pool. You couldn't see the bottom because it was cloudy, and the pool had hundreds of water-boatman in it. That's unappealing and although we entered the pool, my wife was squeamish about them, and wouldn't put her head in the water - they need to get this fixed as the pool is a major attraction, and it soured things a little for us. 2. We had a full shopping bag of washing they arranged to be done for us. It wasn't cheap - about GBP pounds 15. Later we found that the washer person had burned one of my shirts on the sleeve (melted it). God only knows how, but that was disappointing as it wasn't a cheap shirt. So... enquire to them and ask if the pool is free of water-boatman, and whether you can see the bottom of the pool (ie it's clear and hence clean), and then definitely stay here, but don't get your laundry done here!!!

Positiv: Großzügiges Zimmer, hübsch eingerichtet Sehr nette zuvorkommender Service, jeder Wunsch wird erfüllt Unglaublicher Ausblick sowohl von allen Zimmern als auch vom Pool Alles sauber und funktional Abwechslungsreiche Küche, teils regional teils europäisch Kostenloses W-Lan ”Negativ” Bad war klein und ein wenig in die Jahre gekommen (Dusche verkalkt, heißes Wasser schwer einzustellen, Duschwand schließt nicht richtig)

Die Anlage ist wirklich wunderschön, eines des schönstes Hotels während unserer Rundreise durch Sri Lanka. Allerdings sind wir im Zimmer sehr unangenehm überrascht durch ein paar 3-4 Zentimeter großen Kakerlaken, die aus unserer Waschtasche (!!!) im Badezimmer gekrochen sind. Ein Alternativzimmer wurde uns angeboten, der Hotelchef hat uns zugesichert, dort gebe es keine... Ja, leider, doch. Und bei der Rezeption sind auch ein paar von solchen großen Viecher herumgekrochen. Gottseidank hat unsere Reiseorganisation schnell ein anderes Hotel finden können. Das war aber leider ohne Abendessen, wodurch wir im Tamarind Tree noch essen müssten. Die Auswahl am Buffet war nicht so groß - was grundsätzlich nicht schlecht ist - aber die Qualität des Essens war maximal nur durchschnittlich. Da kann dieses Hotel leider nicht mit anderen Mittelklasse Hotels mithalten. Dieses Hotel kann ich aufgrund meiner Erfahrung nicht empfehlen.

We had a pleasant two night stay at the Blue Turtle Hotel. The room was decent and clean enough, though a bit dark. The bathroom was very spacious. The pool was nice, though not sparkling clean. The restaurant was good, and despite what some other reviews say, we found the food to be fine. As we had paid for breakfast with the room, they kindly packed it to take with us when we left at 4.30am for a safari. The staff were very attentive, and the manager even supported us with directions to drive to Dikwella as we were checking out. The location of the hotel is not that great, though it does the job for people who need to stay in the area in order to be picked up for a safari. On a separate note, it is quite shocking (and off-putting) to see how defensive (and borderline rude) some of the hotel's responses are to the less favourable reviews on here. Especially those highlighting challenges relating to accessibility etc. The hotel should remember that platforms like this are not only channels to make valid complaints, but also for guests to share their experiences to help others who might have specific requirements.
