Why two rates in Sri Lanka
one for locals and one for foreigners?
Most of the time its almost double...not very good way to treat people

prices in Sru Lanka depend on yr ability to bargain
depending on the hotel class.
you will hardly pay more than 50 dollars a night for a double room.

I took the hotel Taj ( pronounce TAK)
near the airport

they even picked me up at the airport ( it is very expensive normally )

a very nice 4 stars hotel..
use the normal bboking companies

www.asiahotels.com e www.precisionreservationscom

and you will see the good rates..

on my way back I stayed i a hotel in Ngombo..
near the sea and with the biggest swimmingpool of Sri Lanka..
nearby there was a small restaurant where i could eat with less than 5
dollars..
fresh fish cooked on the spot.

In Sighyria for 50 dollars I had a small house ( hotels do not have usually
rooms.. but small houses in the jungle ) and the rate was 50.00 dollars

I guess the rate is 50 dollars for 4 stars and about 70 to 100 for 5 stars..

before or after bargaining - ?

the trick I use is this
I give 5 or 10 dollars to a person there that works with tourism
He calls the hotels and books for me
he does the bargaining
and I was never disappointed.
