It is located in the middle of nowhere, completely inaccessible by car. We had to walk a long distance on foot, during which we encountered wild animals — an extremely unsafe situation. Upon arrival, we were shocked to find that the entire facility was in a state of severe neglect. Mold was present everywhere — on the walls, ceilings, and even furniture. The conditions were absolutely unacceptable. We attempted to call ahead for information, but were blatantly lied to about the location, accessibility, and condition of the property. This was by far the worst experience we’ve ever had. We refused to stay overnight and left immediately. Do not be misled — this is not a hotel, and it is not suitable for any type of stay. ##### Arokiyarajah Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Ella Deck Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Ella-Hotels-Ella-Deck-Resort.h107262491.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Weerawila Rajawarna Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Weerawila-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Weerawila-Rajawarna-Resort.h23701470.Hotel-Information) > > [Room in Villa - Surf 247 Weligama - Deluxe Double Room With Side Sea View](https://www.expedia.ca/Weligama-Hotels-Surf-247-Weligama-Deluxe-Double-Room-With-Side-Sea-View.h101827338.Hotel-Information) > > [Kitelantis Hotel and Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kalpitiya-Hotels-Kitelantis-Hotel-And-Resort.h31693921.Hotel-Information) > > [Laana Villa](https://www.expedia.ca/Negombo-Hotels-Laana-Villa.h39678361.Hotel-Information) > > [Jetwing Kaduruketha](https://www.expedia.ca/Wellawaya-Hotels-Jetwing-Kaduruketha.h12874957.Hotel-Information) > > [Dream Cliff Mountain Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Hildummulla-Hotels-Dream-Cliff-Mountain-Resort.h42548366.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Airport Transitt](https://www.expedia.ca/Negombo-Hotels-Grand-Airport-Transitt.h113461954.Hotel-Information) > > [Mount Hunt Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Beragala-Hotels-Mount-Hunt-Resort.h111451013.Hotel-Information) > > [Panorama Guesthouse](https://www.expedia.ca/Beruwala-Hotels-Beruwala-Panorama-Hotel.h20581040.Hotel-Information) > > [Rani Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Negombo-Hotels-Rani-Beach-Hotel.h101747283.Hotel-Information) > > [Mama Beach Villa](https://www.expedia.ca/Negombo-Hotels-Mama-Beach-Villa.h19769396.Hotel-Information) > > [Desire Village Rakwana](https://www.expedia.ca/Godakewela-Hotels-Desire-Village-Rakwana.h44124849.Hotel-Information) > > [Ella Eco Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ella-Hotels-Ella-Eco-Lodge.h11010743.Hotel-Information) > > [Jetwing Villa 700](https://www.expedia.ca/Induruwa-Hotels-Villa-700.h23062064.Hotel-Information) > > [98 Acres Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ella-Hotels-98-Acres-Resort-Spa.h15504051.Hotel-Information) > > [Erandi Holiday Home](https://www.expedia.ca/Seeduwa-Katunayake-Hotels-Erandi-Holiday-Home.h38268558.Hotel-Information) > > [La Casa Udawalawe](https://www.expedia.ca/Embilipitiya-Hotels-La-Casa-Udawalawe.h39068049.Hotel-Information) > > [Bridge Hotel Negombo](https://www.expedia.ca/Negombo-Hotels-Bridge-Hotel-Negombo.h13425310.Hotel-Information) > > [North Gate Jaffna](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaffna-Hotels-North-Gate-By-Jetwing.h22276412.Hotel-Information) > > [Ella Sashen Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Ella-Sashen-Hotel.h22874252.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Resort Galle](https://www.expedia.ca/Galle-Hotels-Amari-Galle.h16267123.Hotel-Information) > > [Paradise Holiday Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Negombo-Hotels-Paradise-Holiday-Village.h107271306.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Lé Maas Tota](https://www.expedia.ca/Koslanda-Hotels-Villa-Le-Maas-Tota.h100988189.Hotel-Information) > > [MICHS Beach Villa - Maggona](https://www.expedia.ca/Beruwela-Hotels-MICHS-Beach-Villa-Maggona.h44889471.Hotel-Information) > > [Wind Mill Villa Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Negombo-Hotels-Wind-Mill-Hotel.h36171069.Hotel-Information) > > [House of Ahasna](https://www.expedia.ca/Seeduwa-Katunayake-Hotels-House-Of-Ahasna.h33143768.Hotel-Information) > > [Cosy Hotel & Restaurant](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaffna-Hotels-Cosy-Hotel-Restaurant.h13335936.Hotel-Information) > > [Goatfell](https://www.expedia.ca/Walapane-Hotels-Goatfell.h48392469.Hotel-Information)
