We arrived at the Shangri Lanka boutique guest house after a four day tour with Rohan (one half of SLV). If you visit Sri Lanka a tour is a must as it is the best way to see and sample Sri Lanka at its best. Rohan was perfect as our guide and driver, being a local he knew all the... more

What a great place to unwind; relaxation being a speciality in this laid back, peaceful, boutique guesthouse. A great personal, yet unobtrusive service offered by the hosts Rohan and Karen make this a really enjoyable spot. The rooms are spacious, simple and comfortable. The near empty Bentota beach is a mere 10 minute stroll through the adjacent fields (with an... more

My daughter and I only had one night at Shangri-Lanka, to end our two weeks of touring around and we undoubtedly saved the best until last! This is a true home-from-home, but located in a tropical paradise. It would be hard not to feel truly relaxed or at home here. Karen and Rohan are true professionals, delivering a fantastic holiday... more

Everything that can be said about Shangri-Lanka has already been said in the earlier reviews in a much better way than I can. All the things said about this place is very true and I must admit I went there hoping to find some flaws but boy am I glad to be disappointed. Karen and Rohan have created paradise in... more

Excellent mixture of real Sri Lanka and upmarket guesthouse set in a locals road surrounded by jungle. Large monkey colony next door. Very exotic wildlife. Minutes from an empty sandy beach. Just three letting rooms and three full time staff result in a high level of service. Evening meals optional but recommended. Good swimming pool and constant supply of cold... more

We stayed at the Shangri Lanka Villa for a week in January, near the beginning of a one month visit. I booked it because all the reviews were so good - and we weren't disappointed. From the moment we arrived, it seemed that Karen and the staff were just trying to make everything relaxed and easy for us. We stayed... more

Spent two nights and wish it could have been longer but it was a lovely start to our holiday. We were looked after very well and the food was delicious. The room was delightful with an enormous bed and bathroom, plus its own veranda. I do hope we can return. more

We visited Sri Lanka on a working and relaxing holiday. After a week of work Shangri-Lanka was an amazing sight to see. The service was brilliant, food delicious and rooms sumptuous. It had the little comforts of home that you like to see but in the middle of paradise so we still felt that we were experiencing the country. We... more

'Boutique' conjures up a great image but so often doesn't quite deliver. This guest house delivers in spades. It's comfortable, spacious, tastefully furnished and thoughtfully designed. Rohan & Karen and their staff really look after their guests in a relaxed and friendly but very efficient and sensitive manner. This eases the inhibitions that can accompany long journeys to unfamiliar cultures... more
