10/10 Excellent
A touch of paradise! The host and his family gave us the warmest welcome in the world. The room was spacious and spotless. Despite being in the forest, there wasn’t a single ant or mosquito in the room. It had the most comfortable bed and pillows. We had a lovely balcony overlooking lush greenery. Breakfast was served on the balcony every morning at our preferred time, and was undoubtedly the best breakfast I’ve had in any hotel around the world. I had informed them in advance that I was coming...

Very large room with amazing view from the balcony overlooking acres of land and the lake.
High ceilings and very spacious room. The bathroom was just as big equipped with a very large bath and large shower. The decor is amazing, the air-con was great, the rooms were very clean and the bed was so comfy.
The location was great, the hotel was so peaceful and romantic, it's located in a large acre of land away from the street lights so you can star gaze in the evening.

Stunning spot overlooking a lake where elephants have been every morning and evening of our stay (can’t see them that well in the evening!). Extremely friendly and helpful staff and the food they prepare , whether breakfast, or if you ask lunch or dinner, is extremely tasty and plentiful. We cancelled our plans and stayed an extra night it was that good. Cannot recommend enough.

This property is so serene and peaceful, surrounded by lush greenery. You can see plenty of wild life from peacocks, iguanas to gecko’s, which we got to experience first hand.
We were told that sometimes elephants venture and drink from the river further away from the property that can be seen from the rooms, we were unlucky not to see them
The staff were all really friendly, kind and accommodating.
Lovely, clean swimming pool.
We came as a family of 5 to climb Sigiriya and en route to the East...

Badminton was good fun! Tree planting signage and labelling was very interesting and engaging. But the most amazing part was the Sri Lankan food. The Hoppers were phenomenal and the potato curry at breakfast sublime!

Stayed 1 night in August. Very nice, small hotel with a peaceful, quiet atmosphere in a great convenient location. On our arrival the staff was very accommodating and prepared curry for dinner for 2 of us- it was delicious, we appreciated the gesture! Our room was large with both A/C and a ceiling fan, and very clean. The pool was amazing after a day of exploring, and breakfast was very tasty.
Would recommend for a relaxing stop.
