Wonderful staff, peaceful place, nice breakfast

Big spacious room however it was very dark and damp smelling which I think is the location in the forest. The property is a little bit out of town which means you are stuck at the hotel for your meals unless you get a tuk tuk to and from town. It was a beautiful property with a lovely breakfast but I found the staff in the reception not overly friendly or helpful and a little out of the way for the main attractions.

Gorgeous hotel in a beautiful setting. In the middle of the forest, this is a hidden little gem, with lovely spacious clean rooms, exceptionally friendly staff, and a luxury lodge like feel! It was out of season, so the hotel was quite quiet, and we had the pool to ourselves. I imagine this is the perfect spa retreat in peak season!

Friendly staff and beautiful place

Nice place

Nice hotel. Super helpful staff. Our toddler enjoyed exploring the grounds. Restaurant served nice food. Rooms are a bit basic relative to the price. We were unfortunately visiting during Christmas, and the hotel organised a very loud party, which made it hard to sleep! Agreed to lower the volume after many requests

This property is great if you’re looking to hole up in your room. But if you’re looking to explore Sigiriya Rock and/or safari, it’s too remote of a location off a winding side road and not very convenient. If that was the only issue, I’d be ok with it, but we had multiple issues during our stay: (1) AC in our room was broken and could not regulate the temp, so it was either very cold OR lukewarm; (2) so we kept the AC on, but realized there were no blankets, only a single sheet, which meant you were freezing by dawn; (3) AVOID A LA CARTE DINING at the restaurant - while the breakfast buffet is lovely, the dining staff are unable to follow simple instructions when guests are ordering meals off the menu and not per the buffet. For example, I ordered spaghetti with tomato sauce (spaghetti and penne were the pasta options), and they brought my daughter’s meal as a penne pasta… TWICE. So we had to wait. I ordered a beef burger with cheese (chicken and beef are options). They brought a CHICKEN cheese burger. At this point, 45 minutes had passed and they had only gotten my husband’s club sandwich correct, so I cancelled my meal (which I was still waiting for) and our dessert. At that point, the dining staff started arguing with me that I had definitely ordered chicken, suggesting I didn’t know what I ordered, which is insane. I don’t eat chicken burgers and never ordered it. You know something is wrong when the dining staff start arguing with you as to what YOU ordered.

Plese ignore my previous review, as i cannot delete it so I apologise. Wonderful place to stay & the staff are all very friendly

Lovely hotel and a nice location.

Relaxing location, well maintained and friendly staff, what more could you ask for?
