Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Room not ready, A/C didn't work. We didn't stay.
The air conditioning for our allocated room had failed. We were offered 2 noisy alternatives off-site. With apologies all round we took our bags without checking in and went to a hotel found by our driver. There the air conditioning in the quiet clean onsite room worked and we checked in there instead.

Lovely gardens and beachfront: a great combination
My husband and I spent our last night in Sri Lanka at the Ice Bear. Because it is low season we were the only guests in the house and we got a free upgrade which we much appreciated. The service was great. The room was nice. The shower in the bathroom has an open ceiling and the floor was wet when it rained. To be more eco friendly, the rooms could have screens in the windows and fans so that the AC can be spared. The guesthouse takes only cash as payment. This was a surprise when we checked out but luckily we had just enough cash to cover the bill. We loved the gardens and the quiet atmosphere.

Très agréable guesthouse sur la plage
Ce petit hôtel (une dizaine de chambres) est idéalement situé sur la plage de Negombo (moins d'une demi heure). Personnel agréable et serviable, joli jardin en bordure de plage, petite carte au restaurant mais tout est bien cuisiné et savoureux. Notre chambre était spacieuse, propre et bien décorée. En revanche, juste 2 serviettes de toilette de couleur, une savonnette et un tapis de bain ayant connu des jours meilleurs étaient à notre disposition. Cela dit, je recommande cet établissement.

Great place
A fantastic place with the most beautiful garden. Great food and all of the staff ever so friendly. The best place to stay when just arrived from the airport or ready to leave Sri Lanka. I highly recommend it

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Nostalgie. leuke inrichting en prachtige tuin. gelegen aan de indische oceaan. geen luxe voorzieningen maar een unieke sfeer. Zeer toegangelijke staf en managment. We voelden ons er goed thuis. muggen af en toe lastig maar een goede antispray helpt. Ondanks de muggen voor herhaling vatbaar. we hebben er een goed gevoel en tevredenheid aan overgehouden
