We can recommend the Araliya Cottage because of the excellent service, delicious meals and the house is beautiful with a large garden. The owner spend hours telling us about Sri Lanka and took us to the beach free of charge were we had street food. During our time in Sri Lanka many of the places we stayed in only had one power outlet. This place has serveral and we did not need our adopter, which was very nice. We were also provided with all the free water we needed. ##### Ditte Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Suthanthary 9 Apr 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### awsome place to stay it is a fantastic place to stay. the staffs are very humble and gave us a excellent service.
