My boyfriend and I stayed in a chalet/bungalow for two nights, and it was spectacular. The hotel is down a long, windy, bumpy path, so it's quite remote so you really get that feeling of being in the middle of nowhere, with peace and quiet. But Sigiriya, Dambulla, Polonnaruwa, Minneriya and Kaudulla are all nearby, so there's plenty to do... More

We spent three nights here in a deluxe chalet and found it to be OK. It does cater for groups so the public and dining areas can become a little noisy at times. The chalets are OK with a sitting area as well as a sleeping area but are beginning to show their age and becoming a little tired! Having... More

Very well done rooms with good washrooms, attentive service at the restautants, good variety of food- it was all good The pool was large... More

Very good hotel with majestic, green grounds. The bungalow was comfortable and had good facilities. The range and quality of food was excellent. The staff were very attentive and helpful. For instance, we asked for an adaptor for our phone at reception and it was in the room before we had even returned. I have not marked excellent because there... More

This is our third visit to this place and spent one beautiful night on Jan 29th on a FB basis. This 4 star hotel is a real bliss close to the Kandalama Tank. I personally felt like sleeping near the Tank after having a very sumptuous breakfast buffet considering the wildlife there (mainly several aquatic birds such as Yellow-Wattled Lapwings,... More

First impression of the bungalows was good, but after that we began to discover flaws: entrance to the bungalow was dirty; the bathroom was not so clean and it had a bad smell from the drains; the pool was after the morning cleaning full of foam and small flies. Of course the hotel had some good points: comfortable beds, good... More

Wonderful setting, nice gardens and lots of birdlife. Rooms are really three star although prices are higher than this - then again you are in Sri Lanka not western europe. Enormous choice at mealtimes - about twice as expensive as other places but twice as good (still only about about $20). Staff very helpful. Yes it is a package tour... More

Stayed here for one night on a sight seeing trip of Sri lanka. Beautiful location in a remote area. Rooms were all separate cabins/houses, which were slightly old and dated but given the location it was worth it. Nice pool. The restaurant wasnt the best, fairly basic. Reasonable hotel, but not amazing. Very poor area however around the hotel hotel... More
