Moon Plains Forest Log

I have never had to leave a bad review for a property (and this review could be worse) but I will give the host the benefit of the doubt and would like to leave some friendly tips instead: - We arrived at the property during a power cut, and as stated the host provided us with a candle and portable light bulb but this was the only time we heard from her until we were loading up our van to leave in the morning. It would have been nice if she had dropped in after the power had come back to check that everything was okay. - The biggest issue we had with the property was how EXTREMELY cold it was. The blankets provided were not enough (possibly because it is January and not a summer month). The property absolutely needs some form of insulation or electric heaters. We barely got any sleep because of how cold it was, and all of us were layered up in addition to using the blankets. - The bedding and blankets need to be washed regularly. Everything had a musty smell, including the pillows. We tried to tell the host about the pillows in the morning but she denied that they were not clean (which is another reason why Im having to write my feedback in this review rather than providing it directly to the host for their own improvement). My mum had taken the pillow case off to check why the pillow smelt, and found around 6 pillow covers on the pillow. Adding more covers will not solve the problem. The pillows need to be replaced or washed. - The property needs a deep clean after each guest visits. For example, the dining room table was filthy. - The facilities could be improved a lot. A handheld electric coil was left with a jug to be used as a kettle. Please replace this with a modern kettle, as the old handheld coils are a huge fire risk and could also cause burns. Also, non-Sri Lankans are very unlikely to know how to use this. - Some tea, coffee and sugar wouldnt go amiss.
