RachelLakmali was extremely responsive, giving our driver detailed directions and replying quickly by text when things went wrong. The forest temple walk was beautiful, the food was good, and we loved the cooking class with Gayani and her family. Our main disappointment was not being able to access the rainforest, the only reason we chose such a remote Airbnb. She mentioned the rain, and we were happy to hike in it. However, we did not know the river was likely too full to cross into the forest. We would have appreciated her making us aware of this earlier. Had we known, we would have changed our plans. There were also some other issues: a power outage, hot water and water supply each failing once, cockroaches, and termites around the toilet. When our room's water failed, we showered downstairs, where the bathroom was noticeably less clean. We appreciate Lakmali's efforts to help. But tgt, these make a higher rating difficult, though we understand the rainy season likely played a part.
