So let me tell you my experience from this property... I work for a travel agency so I visited before my group arrives. So I booked a room in a "5 star" hotel "Safe and Secure hotel" listed in the Hello Again Sri Lanka. Problem is not that it's actually a 3* villa (I have pictures of how dirty the room was from the first day I checked-in). Problem is they tolerate the sexual harassment. One of these days a 70(?) year old guy, the cook of the property brought me juice to my room and he touched my inner thigh.. I told him to get out of my room and he start apologise. The first move was to call the Sri Lankan embassy in Greece and then the greek consulate here in Colombo. I also filed a complaint to the Tourist police. I asked from the manager there the contact of the owner of this "hotel", who lives abroad. Αt first he was "I believe you blah blah blah". After he talked with his lawyer he changed the way of speaking. He offered a Mac Donalds meal as a gesture of good will. Even the police officers that I spoke with on the phone laughed. They are many tourists visiting here and I am wondering this cook could do the same to a solo traveller or even to a child, because a child wouldn't understand or react. Not to mention that he made me clear he will keep him in business because the owner said "people make mistakes". The tourist police after I complaint visited the hotel, arrested the cook.
