There was a real lack of organisation with the people in charge or lack of management but staff were happy to help wherever possible. Breakfast was two fried eggs bread fruit coffee and tea. No free water in the room ##### wendy Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 7 May 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Complaint and Warning Regarding Recent Stay My recent stay at the villa was deeply disappointing, marked by a litany of issues including substandard cleanliness, lack of managerial presence, and malfunctioning amenities. Despite expressing concerns prior to arrival, assurances from staff proved hollow as the manager was absent and remotely managing from Colombo. The accommodation was filthy, and we were inexplicably entrusted with property management responsibilities. Essential amenities like the swimming pool were out of order, and dining was rendered uncomfortable due to unsanitary conditions. Upon requesting a refund, the management engaged in delay tactics and shifting requirements, further eroding trust. This pattern of behavior underscores a disregard for customer satisfaction and professionalism. Urgent action is needed to rectify these deficiencies and prevent future guests from enduring similar experiences ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jens 25 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The checkin and checkout was one of the weirdest so far. There was noone around who spoke English when we arrived. I booked a standard room which turned out to be a small box without windows. I decided to upgrade to a seaview room and was presented with a room rate by a housekeeping boy that was way higher than the rate shown online. Then we started haggling which ended up to be a back and forth with the manager via phone. I finally managed to lock in the proper rate for the upgrade. When the room was ready, there were still several items amiss which I had to request. The location has direct beach access but there are hardly any restaurants or markets in the area. There is one person who runs a kitchen that appears to be a separate business. When you order a drink, he will say "let me check what fruits I have" and then pillage through the fridge. He is working super hard and makes up delicious food. During checkout, noone was around so we just left. However, there were 2 staff people who were super friendly. Aside from the language barrier, it was fun to interact with them. The internet was relatively fast but dropped out constantly. Also, there were numerous power outages during our stay. The seaview room itself was great and had a balcony which was shared with the neighboring room. ##### Jens ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Eiger Lodge Chic](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grindelwald-Hotels-EIGER-LODGE-CHIC.h69807466.Hotel-Information) > > [The Longlands Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Middlesbrough-Hotels-OYO-The-Longlands-Hotel.h18628981.Hotel-Information) > > [Dickwella Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Batigama-Hotels-Dickwella-Resort-And-Spa.h1583293.Hotel-Information) > > [Pateo Village Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Pateo-Village-Apartments.h29751427.Hotel-Information) > > [Chaarya Resort & Spa by Chandrika](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Thissamaharama-Hotels-Chaarya-Resort-Spa-By-Chandrika.h7855822.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Brancaster Staithe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Brancaster-Staithe-Hotels.s50-0-d3000452025.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Vallon-Pont-d'Arc](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vallon-Pont-DArc-Hotels.d6051825.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Village Hotel Manchester Ashton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashton-Under-Lyne-Hotels-Village-Hotel-Manchester-Ashton.h1848975.Hotel-Information) > > [Jetwing Yala](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palatupana-Hotels-Jetwing-Yala.h7686053.Hotel-Information) > > [Bourne Valley Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Andover-Hotels-Bourne-Valley-Inn.h22408046.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Buffalo Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Buffalo-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Buffalo-Downtown.h8745457.Hotel-Information) > > [Guest Houses Bali](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bali-Guest-Houses.d602651-aaGuestHouses.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotel Ter Brughe by CW Hotel Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bruges-Hotels-Hotel-Ter-Brughe.h984483.Hotel-Information) > > [Riad Les Yeux Bleus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Riad-Les-Yeux-Bleus.h13105468.Hotel-Information) > > [Citrus Hikkaduwa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hikkaduwa-Hotels-Citrus-Hikkaduwa.h2222408.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Liverpool Hunts Cross Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Liverpool-Hunts-Cross-Station-Hotels.d6042455.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels near British Normandy Memorial](https://www.expedia.co.uk/British-Normandy-Memorial-Hotels.0-l553248635976867238-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Gibraltar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gibraltar-Hotels.d1325.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Sea World Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mirissa-Hotels-Sea-World-Boutique-Hotel.h14737453.Hotel-Information) > > [Cinnamon Wild Yala](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palatupana-Hotels-Cinnamon-Wild-Yala.h4031774.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Southampton (SOU) to Seville (SVQ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/sou/svq/southampton-to-seville) > > [Flights from Derby (EMA) to Paris (ORY)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ema/ory/east-midlands-to-paris) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Ndola (NLA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/nla/london-to-ndola) > > [Flights from Derby (EMA) to Crumlin (BFS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ema/bfs/east-midlands-to-belfast) > > [Flights from Paisley (GLA) to Tunis (TUN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/gla/tun/glasgow-to-tunis) > > [Flights from Stansted](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/6189/flights-from-stansted) ### Packages > [Hampshire Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hampshire.d603237.Holidays-City-Breaks)
