The host was extremly friendly and helpful. Apartment was amazingly clean and cozy, also the room is huge. The garden was maybe the best part, very nicely groomed and full of birds and peacooks whose singing is the best alarm clock ever. Breakfast and dinner were yummy and the host also makes great cocktails. By far the best place we have stayed in in sri lanka. Highly recommed! :)

Super clean & spacy room, modern style, all functional, hot watter, great view from the balcony, very silent area during our stay(however we were the only guest there), restaurant is bit overpriced compared to the surrounding ones so we had only included breakfest that was fine

This was one of our favorite homestays in Sri Lanka. We booked last minute after a different local hotel cancelled the night before and we're so glad we ended up staying here. There seemed to be 4 rooms, each with a gorgeous view of the lake with large private balconies that had comfy chairs for relaxing in. The rooms were absolutely huge and pristine and had massive comfy beds and plenty of space for hanging clothes. We really appreciated having the fridge, and though there are only small local shops near by the manager sold us bottles of beer from the restaurant that we stored in the fridge and had on the balcony in the evening. Bliss! We also liked the spacious bathroom. The buildings are located in the most lush gardens which are very well maintained by a very smiley, friendly man. The Gardens are also hosts to a beautiful family of grey faced langurs (the nice kind of monkey), chipmunks and so many species of bird it was hard to keep count. A favorite activity was bird watching from the balcony in the early morning. Breakfast was in a raised platform that overlooked the lake and gardens and was so tranquil. We really enjoyed the fresh juice and fruit platters. The location of the accommodation is just a 5 minute walk from the beaches and the manager shared his whatsapp details and was helpful with booking tuktuks and turtle tours. There were peddle bikes available free to use and also kayaks for the lake. We had hired a tuktuk and this area was perfect for learning how to drive it, with long very quiet roads. On the odd occasion we couldn't start the tuktuk the manager was very helpful and supportive and got it started for us without us really having to ask. We didn't catch his name, but the manager was a gem and so very helpful. We only wish we could have stayed here longer! The local village is very quiet and peaceful, so this is the perfect location to really chill and enjoy nature and the slow pace of local life.

It's not necessarily a dislike, but the Sri Lankan breakfast here was just hoppers and rotis with chilli sauce. Some Dahl or eggs or butter and jam to go them would have just made the breakfast little less dry. The juice, fruit and tea were fantastic however and we liked the English breakfast a lot!

The setting was excellent, very peaceful. And only a tuktuk ride to a busy town and beach. The staff couldn't have been more helpful.

Friendly and helpful guy working there. Really beautiful and quiet place, lovely peacocks in the garden. Super views.

Just a small minus is that the bathroom window doesn’t have anything to cover it with while you want to have a shower when it’s dark outside.

Very quiet and nice place to spend a few days. Big rooms, good showers, direct access to the lagoon and a kayak to use, a couple of bicycles. Lakshita is always helpful and nice.

From start to finish we loved this place: set in wonderful gardens overlooking the lagoon ,four rooms - huge rooms and great bathrooms with own private terrace. Breakfast was great. Latifa( sorry spelt wrong) was so helpful and all done quietly and with kindness. 5 minutes from the beach . Swimming a bit harder but we walked to the end of the beach and found perfect rock pools. We tended to walk early at 7 am.. and had the whole beach to ourselves. The hotel has free canoe as well.. otherwise we spent time just sitting in the hotel garden watching the wildlife!! We ate in the hotel too very good quality. There are a few other places to eat too. We stayed 4 days and this was one the best places we have stayed . Both the hotel, service and location Highly recommend.

Nothing

We really enjoyed our 3 nights stay, resort is very nice place with beautiful garden and houses. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable. It is close to the turtles visitors center and beach. They helped us arrange a scooter rental.

We had a little problem with cockroaches, it would be convenient to offer a room cleaning for longer stay to avoid that. The breakfast could include something salty like omelette, curry,.. But the sweet breakfast with fruit plate was very tasty.

Very spacious room and also very clean. Tasty and fresh breakfast every morning.

Many bugs flying at night to the light.

The facilities and location were perfect for our needs. Our top floor room was huge and gave us a great view of the Lagoon and the treetops so we could see all the fantastic birds. Lakshitha was a great host and couldn't do enough for us. Breakfast and evening meals were excellent. We even got to watch some cricket on the tv while eating our dinner. We would highly recommend Ashansa Logon Resort for the area, beach and turtle watching.
