Amazing grounds, tons of wildlife on the property including a ton of monkeys and peacocks. Super kind owners, excellent Sri Lankan food (and beers!). Nice pool, and really close to Siguriya Rock and nearby businesses. Can’t wait to return.

Tracey

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
I was expecting clean but basic facilities for the price of the room. Basic yes, but the rooms were damp with an overbearing smell of bleach and insecticide in the bedroom and - shall we say drains in the dischevelled bathroom. The blinds were broken and held together with string. To be fair, the sheets were clean but there was no hot water. We were advised on checking out after one night that there was a switch for a water heater on the outside of the building, but nobody had bothered to tell us. The "village" was situated up a very bumpy road which you would probably not want to walk along in the dark and to be honest had a rather sinister feel. To be honest, we could not wait to leave.

Lovely quiet location with sounds of nature, dining outdoors with lovely gardens, amazing pool! Peacocks and other birds keep you company at breakfast. Room quite basic but does the job, hospitality was very good, as is the location for Sigiriya and national parks. Highly recommend!

The food and service were really good. The owner and manager made us feel welcome and took care of even the small needs. The pool is great and the property borders a lake so you'll be away from the crowds while still being close to Lion Rock. The rooms had AC, were spacious and comfortable but could use some more love.

Rien à dire sur le personne qui était très courtois et agréable :) Cependant les photos sont très trompeuses, l’hôtel et vieillissant et le confort assez spartiate dans les chambres. Odeur forte, draps peu propre.

Vi havde et helt fantastisk ophold på Pothana Village. Personalet var virkelig søde, hjælpsomme og imødekommende, særligt Tila! Hotel manageren, Dennis, var meget sød og sørgede for, at vi fik alle de oplevelser, vi kunne tænke os til en fair pris. Poolområdet var rigtig dejligt og rent, der er en masse dyr lige omkring hotellet, og værelserne er udmærkede. Det eneste ærgerlige er, at det er svært at komme til hotellet efter mørkets frembrud. Man skal ned ad en mørk vej med mange huller. Der kan være vilde elefanter, så man må ikke gå, men skal bruge en tuktuk eller hotellets bil. Tuktukerne er lidt påpasselige med at køre derind på grund af risiko for elefanter.

Det var dejligt og godt for miljøet, at der ikke automatisk blev gjort rent hver dag. Luften på værelset føltes en smule fugtig, men vejret er/var også fugtigt, så det er nok svært at holde helt tørt. Hotellets have er fantastisk. Man er nærmest på safari under frokosten, hvor påfugle, andre flotte fugle, jordegern og varaner befinder sig i træer og græs. Personalet er så behageligt.

Amazing people! All the staff were extremely kind, and the manager organized our entire stay, advising us on the best places to visit, the ideal order to see them, and even stepping in as our driver and guide for a day. The location is also great: quiet and peaceful, yet only 15 minutes from Sigiriya Rock. The rooms were comfortable. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to make the most of their stay in Sigiriya!
