We also met Rodney in Colombo, and went with him to his guest house. Stunning views from the balcony, the staff are fantastic cooks, we had some very nice food there.Rodney will try to take over your holiday, offering to organize trips where ever you wish, and will keep trying to push you into his trips and days out. We had some vague plans, and we wanted to keep them vague with no major itinery. We could have stayed here longer, but Rodney was so pushy that it was easier to leave (and then he tried to organise a drver to pick us up from our next destination - Nuwara Eliya and take us to the cultural triangle)
In short, good food, good staff, comfortable but basic rooms, cheap - I think his profits come from the trips. Stay here only if you want someone to structure your holiday completely (and escort you everywhere)
