Rates
The exchange rate could vary a lot (up and down) and often. Therefore, we estimate our rates in Sri Lankan Rupees and Euros. The cost of living is unpredictable months in advance. Therefore, we estimate our rates for the next season. The rates are evaluated and fixed monthly.
Our rates' range is from 20€ (garden bungalows during low season) to 65€ (sea view bungalows during high season). These rates could be reduced according to the cost of living and Patini's occupancy. If you have booked at a high rate and we reduce our rate, you would get the discounted rate if any. Currently (November 2024), we are giving a 40% discount. Then, our rates are 5'000rs (around 16€) for a garden bungalow with some sea view and 8'000rs (around 25€) for a beach bungalow, per night. No other discount are applicable in November. Early December, our rates will be 8'000rs for a garden bungalow and 11'000rs for a beach bungalow. During the high season (middle December to end of March), a garden bungalow will cost 16'000rs (around 50€) per night and a beach bungalow 20'000rs (around 65€).
Our rates are per night for two people. They include all taxes, hot water for the shower, unlimited drinkable water, tea, coffee, wifi, books, magazines, toys, games (outdoor and indoor) and our advices/support (in English et en français). Extra mattresses for children are available for 1'500rs (around 5€) per child and per night. If the stay is a single night, 1'000rs (around 3€) extra are charged. Discounts are offered for long stay (5% discount if the bungalow is cleaned after 5 nights; 15th and 30th nights free).
Extra requirements
1'500rs (around 5€) per night per child with extra mattress (foam mattress on the floor with mosquito net), the third child is free (no extra mattress available). It's comfortable for children, but less for adults.
The kitchen is available from 6pm to 8pm during high season (December to April, July and August) and all day long during low season (May and June, September to November). Boiling water for a tea or coffee is free and available all day all along the year.
4G Wifi router (Dialog) is available near our gate. Internet is not unlimited in Sri Lanka. We have to buy package of GB. The speed could be slow if many guests are connected. We encourage you to buy a Sri lankan SIM card (Dialog or Mobitel) for call, sms and internet (more than 90% coverage). This card is sold in the Dialog or Mobitel outlets and also in the phones shops. Your passport is required. Then, your phone can be used as a router/wifi provider (hotspot) for your laptop. The Dialog and Mobitel signals are strong at Patini.
Single night supplement
1'000rs (around 3€) extra for one night stay in one bungalow because of the full cleaning. This supplement is applicable to any rates. We don't take booking for a single night. You can contact us the day before you would like to come.

We give a cleaning discount of 5% on the bungalow's rate if the bungalow is cleaned after 5 nights.
We give a loyalty card. The 15th nights is free at the average rate of the 15 nights. The card can be filled over many years... You can stay more than 15 nights at once or two or three nights every two-three years... If you stay one month (30 nights), we give two nights free...
Payment
We accept payment only in cash. You can pay in Sri Lankan rupees, Swiss francs, Euros, Pounds or US dollars. We will check the exchange rate at Sampath Bank the day of your payment. Sri Lanka suffers a lot of a lack of foreign currencies. It would be better for Sri Lanka if you change your foreign currencies in the bank and not in the shops. If you like to know which bank to choose to exchange your currency, here are the websites where you can find the exchange rate of the day: Sampath Bank, Commercial Bank, People's Bank, BOC (Bank of Ceylon). The rate is shown in "Currency Buying Rate". In Tangalle, the rate may be 1rs lower than the one shows on internet because they have to transport the currency from Tangalle to Colombo.
