“Unacceptable cleanliness, hygiene and safety standards”
+Near restaurants, beach and bars
−One of the poorest accommodation experiences we have had, and not a property I could recommend. We stayed at J7 Villaj for four nights but ultimately checked out a day early because we found the overall condition of the property unacceptable. The issues we personally encountered included a badly stained mattress, dirty and unpleasant-smelling toilets, foul-smelling water from the taps, bird droppings across the balcony, and a swimming pool that was dirty and not something we felt comfortable using. There were also chipped and broken tiles around the pool edge. Breakfast raised further hygiene concerns. We saw flies around the food, milk that appeared curdled, and butter that looked as though it had melted and been re-chilled. Most concerning of all was our children's room, where the electrical plug/socket arrangement associated with the shower was situated within the shower area itself. We found this extremely worrying, particularly in accommodation being provided for children. I am attaching photographs of the conditions we encountered so prospective guests can make their own assessment. We subsequently raised these issues with the property and requested a refund for the five nigh

“would not recommend it.”
+the location is very convenient, very quiet but also close to the beach and main cafes/restaurants. the bed was comfortable.
−there was not hot water in the shower. the first morning breakfast was supposed to start at 7.30am but at 7.30 nothing was actually ready and we had to wait until 7.45 to have it ready, and we needed to leave at 8.00 to go diving. the pool was really dirty. the rooms were not cleaned at all and there were a lot of animals in the room, such as gekos and even a frog. I think it would be okay if we paid 10€ each to stay there, but for what you pay it’s really not worth it. go somewhere else.

“Dałbym max 3 europejskie gwiazdki.”
+Miła obsługa. Lokalizacja w 3 linii od oceanu, ale mimo to blisko do plaży (5-10 minut). Dużo restauracji w okolicy. Pokoje czyste.
−Lekko brudna woda w basenie od spadających roślin. Otoczenie basenu też mogłoby być lepiej utrzymane. Mało leżaków. Restauracja w hotelu nie zachęcała do kolacji w hotelu. Słaba kawa na śniadaniu, ale tak zazwyczaj jest na Sri Lance.

“Preis-Leistung passt nicht.”
+Das Hotel ist sehr gut gelegen. Der wunderschöne Strand ist in ein paar Gehminuten zu erreichen. Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Das Frühstück war einfach aber in Ordnung.
−Leider war der Pool während unseres Aufenthalts sehr trüb und konnte daher nicht genutzt werden. Zwar wurde versucht, ihn zu reinigen, jedoch schien die Pumpe defekt zu sein, sodass sich die Situation nicht verbessert hat. Darüber hinaus ist das Hotel baulich mittlerweile etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Besonders im Außenbereich fehlen teilweise Lampen. Weiters wurde im Bad ein unangenehmer Geruch wahrgenommen. Insgesamt hätten wir uns angesichts des Preises einen besseren Zustand und eine entsprechend höhere Qualität erwartet.

+Wir hatten eine richtig tolle Zeit im J7 Villaj Resort! 🥰 Eine wunderschöne, gepflegte Anlage, super entspannte Atmosphäre und der Strand ist ganz in der Nähe. Genau der richtige Ort, um einfach mal abzuschalten und den Urlaub zu genießen. 🌴🌊 Das Frühstück war ebenfalls richtig lecker! Was uns besonders gefallen hat, war das unglaublich liebe und hilfsbereite Team. Auch als ich mich am Knie verletzt habe, wurde mir sofort geholfen. Vielen Dank für die wunderschöne Zeit und eure Herzlichkeit - wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt und kommen sehr gerne wieder!😊☀️
