CHOOSING THE RIGHT HOLIDAY BUNGALOW IN SRI LANKA
Leading property portal
Lamudi.lk prepares handy guide for preparing for the perfect holiday
From safaris to tropical
rainforests, and from mountain hikes to ancient ruins, Sri Lanka seems to have
it all for the intrepid traveller. But what if your ideal holiday means having
access to all the creature comforts of your own home?
During the upcoming September long
weekend, many Sri Lankans will be looking to rent - or maybe even buy - a
holiday bungalow. To help you chose the perfect property to match your needs, Lamudi.lk has
compiled a guide to choosing the ideal holiday home for the long weekend.
1.
Consider the benefits of picking a bungalow. The first thing to decide is whether a bungalow is the right match
for you and your family. Consider the fact that you can enjoy the comforts of
being in your own home - such as cooking at the property and entertaining a
group of family or friends - while still taking a break from your usual
surroundings. However, some holidaymakers may prefer to spend their holidays
staying at an hotel or resort.
2.
Choose facilities to meet your needs.
Being on holiday means your day-to-day activities should run smoothly. However,
amenities may vary widely between properties. Check with bungalow management to
find out about the state of the water and power supply, whether bathroom facilities
meet your standards, the number of bedrooms available, and what features are on
offer in the living room and kitchen. Remember to also check whether the
property comes with high-speed Internet, home entertainment or even satellite
TV if these are a requirement for you.
3.
Check the pet policy and parking space.
For most families, having a pet can be a challenge when planning for holidays.
Check with the property management to see if pets are allowed and if so,
whether there are any additional charges or deposit fees. The same applies for
parking, especially when you are traveling with a group. Make sure you have a
good idea what parking is available on site so you are well prepared for your
arrival.
4.
Be alert about security. You and your
loved ones’ protection should be a fundamental priority at all times, including
while on holiday. Check with the management firm to have a basic understanding
of whether natural disasters are an issue in the area, as well as whether
criminal activity is likely to be an issue.
5.
Understand the pricing procedure.
Finally yet importantly, have a thorough understanding of the pricing structure
of the bungalow you are hoping to book. Many establishments charge extra fees
depending on the season and some may also charge you for utilities such as
electricity and water, as well as cleaning costs. Remember to clarify deposit
fees to ensure you agree to the refund data and whether it will be included in
the final bill.
