    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We genuinely regret that your experience did not meet your expectations. Regarding communication, we sincerely apologize if our responses were not as fast as you expected. During peak season, we handle a high volume of inquiries, but we always aim to reply as quickly and clearly as possible. As per our standard procedure, final hotel and driver details are usually shared a few days before arrival, allowing flexibility for any last-minute changes requested by guests. Concerning the vehicle issue, once you informed us in Polonnaruwa about the door and seatbelt concern, we immediately offered to replace the vehicle for the remainder of your tour. At that time, you confirmed that the matter was resolved and that a change was not necessary. Guest safety is always our priority, and we act promptly whenever concerns are raised. Regarding travel time and hotel locations, the itinerary clearly stated that Day 1 includes a transfer from the airport to Polonnaruwa, which is approximately a 4–5 hour journey. Many of the selected hotels are located slightly outside busy city centers, as most travelers prefer peaceful surroundings rather than crowded urban areas. However, as your package included a private vehicle at your disposal, transportation was always available for visiting city centers, restaurants, or beaches at your convenience. In relation to cancellation, as your booking was made via TourRadar, any official cancellation request must be processed through their platform in accordance with both TourRadar’s and our cancellation policies. We did not receive a formal cancellation request through the required channel. We truly value all our guests and continuously work to improve our service. We are proud to host many satisfied travelers and encourage future guests to review our recent positive feedback as well. We wish you all the best in your future travels. Kind regards, Holiday Lanka Tours Team
