    Street noise! Bad WiFi No fridge in the room No bar/option to buy drinks (go to Shanti Shanti!) Price too high for what you get.

    Our experience at this hotel was somewhat disappointing, mainly due to the price, which felt too high for what was offered. One of the biggest issues was the noise level. The hotel is located right next to a very busy road, and especially in the family room upstairs, the traffic noise was overwhelming. It seriously affected the comfort of our stay and made sleeping difficult. Several times during the night, we woke up to loud honking right outside the hotel. Another downside was the lack of a refrigerator in the room, which would have been very useful. Additionally, while there was hot water, it ran out quickly due to a small boiler, which was frustrating when the whole family needed to shower. The wifi was also very bad in the room. That being said, I must praise the hotel staff, who were friendly and helpful. The breakfast, despite offering only three choices, was the best we had during our stay in Sri Lanka and they have also kids options that our son loved. Also, for those who love wild beaches and want to experience ocean, this area is fantastic. Nearby, there is a great restaurant, Shanti Shanti, with a lovely beach where you can relax and enjoy good food. Overall, I don’t think this hotel meets the standards of a four-star accommodation. The price is simply too high for the quality provided, especially considering the constant noise from the street, which significantly affects the experience.

    Looking out over beach a perfect location to relax. Pleasant helpful staff and very large room. Breakfast on lawn was a pleasure. Whilst you can not swim from the beach directly by hotel due to rock reef there are sandy bays and pools very near by

    Poor Wifi connection

    Beautifully decorated and spacious rooms with all facilities needed. The food cooked by chef Dhammika was excellent! So delicious and every meal prepared with perfection. The staff looked after us very well and were so friendly. We want to say a special thanks to Gayan, Dhammika, Chalana, Sahas and Kaveesha for making our week at Nil Ralla perfect.

    There was nothing to dislike about our stay at Nil Ralla. They gave us a warm welcome and homely feeling though-out the time.

    Everything about The Nil Ralla Villa was exceptional. They really did a wonderful service for us and made us feel comfortable in each and every single second. They were always on time but never disturbed our privacy at any given time. Simply it was a great vacation for us.

    It is a small and cozy mini hotel. Brand new. Very clean rooms, bathroom and territory. There is a fantastic pool and sun beds. It is close to the ocean. But the most important is the staff. Very friendly and helpful, they will do everything to make you feel comfortable. Absolutely love this place and 100% we will come back.

    There was no phone signal nor did the property have WiFi. We had to keep our phones outside in the garden and use hotspot to connect to the internet. From morning there were noises from banging and thudding due to construction. There were a lot of local men loitering about on the property including the beach in front so we did not feel safe. Food was extremely overpriced. There was a kettle in the room but no cups, sugar, tea or coffee provided which is very normal in local hotels. Any tea ordered was charged extra an over priced. Overall it was a fairly unpleasant experience.

    The property was nice but the service could’ve been better
