    There was confusion over the room price at the start but we sorted it out. Our room said a view and tv but didn't have either.

    Great location, clean room, good beds. Amazing wildlife in mini front garden. Wakas very friendly

    Good location. Very close to the bus stop if you need to take the bus somewhere. I only did it once since I prefer to walk. But to Ravana waterfall I took a local bus. Very cheap compare to tuk-tuk. No disturbance from traffic from the hotel or the room, only from a barking dog during the night and morning (not constantly). Very friendly staff.

    Great location near city center. Acceptable price/quality accomodation for a night.

    The towel given initially hadn't dried and I realised that too late. A complimentary cup of tea or coffee in the morning, a bottle or even a small jar of regular water would have been very welcome. These are standard hospitable items one would expect.

    Excellent location, lovely surroundings, wide open verandah to sit and enjoy your cuppa. Mr. Soorya kindly allowed me the use of the fridge and the kitchen to warm food.

    Our Host was very helpful and friendly, he let us use the kitchen which was great as I drink a lot of tea. Location was superb, very close to the centre of town, shops, restaurants, buses etc. but very quiet, especially at night. Room was spacious with hot water, mosquito net and outdoor undercover sitting area. If you want anything just ask and the owner/host will help. He speaks great English and is knowledgeable about the area and Sri Lanka

    I spent nice time in Soorya Guest Inn. It's always nice to have a home far from your home.

    It would be nice to have more than one elecric socket in the room ))) But this is not critical.

    The hotel is just perfectly situated, it is across the road from the bus stand, so it is really easy to find. The village center with restautrants, supermarkets etc is just few hundred meters from it. At the same time the neigbourhood is cozy and quiet. Very helpful stuff. You can always find their support with information or whatever. The owner of the hotel, Dasith is a very nice man.

    This property good for low budget travelers, to stay 1 night to go to Little Adam's Peak and to 9 arch bridge.

    This property have only one positive thing- location, anything else - disappointing.

    The staff thin and with cap try to flirt my sister and ask my sister to bring his room more than 10 times. He even keep coming to out room late night 3 times.. that was creepy. And he keeps lying us about room price and vacancies. He even lost one of our pants and one socks. Fortunately the owner apologized us and payed us some of money for the pants. The staff really socks.

    Price was cheap. Hot water was good. Space is big. Location is good.
