WORST
WORST
WORST
I
wanted
to
save
this
for
the
last
after
I
reviewed
all
other
experiences
in
Sri
Lanka.
Where
to
start!!
Quite
literary
THE
WORST
EXPERIENCE
I
HAD
IN
SRI
LANKA.
This
hotel's
manager,
the
so
called
'Viraj'
DOESNT
have
a
CLUE
OF
WHAT
CUSTOMER
SERVICE
MEANS.
I
had
called
them
from
India
before
booking
and
discussed
and
then
booked
the
room,
this
was
all
to
ensure
the
waterfall
view
room.
Then
on
the
day
of
arrival
as
well
I
had
called
them
and
informed
the
time
will
reach
and
again
re-confirmed
the
room.
But
when
I
reached
there,
co-incidentally
there
was
another
white
foreigner
big
gang
who
did
not
have
a
booking
with
them
but
came
impromptu.
The
receptionist
lady
asked
me
to
wait,
she
had
a
smiling
jolly
chat
with
their
guide,
shook
hands,
and
I
understood
their
language
a
bit,
and
gave
them
their
wanted
rooms.
After
15mins
of
wait,
she
finally
addressed
me
and
gave
the
room
keys.
To
my
dismay
the
room
wasnt
the
one
I
was
hoping
for,
so
I
went
back
to
the
reception
and
asked
for
reasons.
I
was
horrified
at
the
way
the
manager
Viraj
started
shouting
at
me.
I
had
already
paid
some
amount
while
booking,
they
even
denied
to
give
that
back.
I
was
ready
to
leave
that
money
and
get
out
of
their,
but
a
quick
call
to
other
hotels
in
the
vicinity
made
me
aware
that
no
hotels
had
rooms.
My
driver
tried
as
well,
but
all
his
known
hotels/guesthouses
were
full.
It
was
getting
late
in
the
night
and
I
was
with
my
aged
parents
so
I
chose
to
stay
there
in
whichever
room
they
gave.
Later
that
night,
they
also
HAD
THE
AUDACITY
TO
ASK
US
TO
LEAVE
IF
WE
ARE
NOT
HAPPY.
This
hotel
had
a
RACIAL
SLUR
and
gives
upfront
PREFERNCE
TO
WHITE
FOREIGNERS.
I
would
advise
not
to
stay
with
them.
They
only
have
5-6rooms
with
waterfall
view
rest
are
all
plain
simple
mountain
view.
I
had
booked
this
hotel
just
for
the
waterfall
view
otherwise
there
are
quite
a
few
amazing
hotels
in
vicinity
with
very
cheap
rates
compared
to
them.
You
can
pay
100LKR
to
view
the
Ramboda
water
fall
and
the
natural
pool
and
choice
to
stay
at
other
cheaper
options.
I
come
from
a
customer
service
background
myself
and
thus
know
what
Viraj
did
was
outright
unacceptable.
I
HOPE
SOMEONE
FROM
HIGHER
MANGEMENT
is
reading
this,
make
sure
you
make
your
manager
take
some
customer
service
lessons
immediately.
I
wouldn't
mind
paying
for
it
if
its
makes
the
life
of
other
customers
at
your
hotel
a
bit
better.
The
ground
staff
and
bell
boys
were
much
well-behaved
and
friendly
natured
that
this
tie-wearing
man.
What
a
shame.
I
come
from
India
where
guests
are
treated
with
high
respect
and
this
one
experience
had
tainted
my
Sri
Lanka
visit.
Thanks
for
reading.
