Holey smokes this place is beautiful! The home is even more beautiful in person, I wish I had known that this was a luxury upscale type of place. Breakfast was simple and filling, so I loved it. When I come back to Sri Lanka Ill book a long weekend to enjoy the indoor pool and surrounding area better.
Water was leaking from the roof of the toilet constantly and it was falling on my head when I was using the sink which made me uncomfortable, and inside the room water was leaking from two more places of the roof when it started to rain outside, so we had to put mats on the floor. Some of the walls were discoloured due to water damage. The mechanism to lift the bamboo blinds of the windows were broken so I had no way of opening the windows. It would be nice to have a tv in the room and a water heater with some coffee and tea or else a intercom to get room service. Plus a mosquito vaporizer would come handy too. I would say the place doesn't look that luxurious as it shows in the photos. The Place has great potential, they should consider refurbishing and fixing the rooms. Wifi was excellent, Breakfast was average, no other options were given (coffee, passion fruit cordial, toast bread, jam, butter and omelette)
Villa Capers offers the perfect combination of privacy, clean air, and comfort! They have a beautiful courtyard both on the lower and upper flats in addition to a personal backyard terrace on the ground floor. The staff are super supportive in organizing trips, taxis or any transfers.
It was the worst experience ever! I had called a month ahead to inquire and book for my friend who was flying in from Australia. The guy asked me to make an advance payment to confirm the booking. I said that I will come in on Sunday or Monday to make the payment. I called again on Sunday evening asking if breakfast was included and a landmark to find the place. A different guy had answered the phone this time and said an advance payment was not necessary and I can make the payment when I check in at the property. So I asked his name and he said he was Mr. Piyal.
I called the day before she was to check in and wanted to confirm about the booking. The man on the phone said that he had given the room to someone else as I did not make the advance payment. Even after I explained that Mr.Piyal had confirmed the booking, I was told Mr. Piyal is the cook and therefore any confirmations from him was not valid. Now why would the cook answer the phone if he wasn't authorized to confirm booking. Moreover, the manager was rude and lectured me on how I should have asked for the designation of the person speaking!! Very unprofessional and im highly disappointed in the service as well as the way he spoke. He also said that i was wasting his time. Will never recommend this place to anyone
The property is a converted Villa... with a property care taker and a few staff. Missing the minimum basic features like a intercom to reach the reception when in need, a table and chair in the room, a wardrobe, bed switches. You would also be left with broken fan, lights and torn linens in the room. To add you could be accompanied with unused wooden windows & partitions in your room. Not too sure how that’s a value add !!. Wouldn’t recommend or stop by here again. Two star is only for the overall ambience and location of the property.
