Amazing design of hotel that blends in to the beautiful forest and lake landscape. A truly amazing piece of architecture. The staff, food and facilities are top notch.

Jungle hotel!

Hotel isn't new but didn't matter. View from room, great staff and good buffet made up for it. Loved it.
Steven, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The building’s design is fantastic and the main reason we wanted to stay there. It was built in 1994 and in parts it is starting to show its age. The food selection for dinner and breakfast was good and the taste was fantastic. The staff was friendly and helpful. I recommend taking the Bawa Tour to learn about the building. Another tip if you are a coffee drinker is to get an expresso or a coffee directly from the machine. The coffee from the jug from the food server is pretty weak.

Beautiful hotel with breath taking views! The room, staff, and buffet were outstanding. I would recommend power outlets near the bed for best guest experience. Overall it was a memorable and perfect stay for us. Highly recommend this gem for anyone looking for relaxation and luxury!
Apsara, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel's setting on the edge of a lake that is a magnet for wildlife is fabulous, the views are amazing. The service was wonderful, with all the staff being charming and helpful. We were particularly impressed by the hotel driver who took us to Sigiriya and then onto our next stop in Kandy.
Jegath, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Resort is built in a peaceful and serene location around trees, rocks and a lake with some breathtaking scenery. It would benefit from hiring staff with fluent English. Sometimes it was hard to get their understanding.
David, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing location Food was phenomenal If i have to nitpick, the rooms could use a little upgrade with its fixtures Over all it was worth every penny.
Anton, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The overall experience is on another level. The design and architecture are amazing, with lots of wildlife around the property. The staff are exceptionally professional. The food was excellent, with a wide variety of options, all of which were delicious. One tip: try to avoid the busiest times for breakfast and dinner, as it can get very crowded and noisy. Take some time to walk around the property and immerse yourself in the nature and architecture created by Geoffrey Bawa.
Manami, 1-night trip

Hotel is excellent. Staff amazing. A couple of issues with the food were the only problems. We will stay here again.

fiham, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The architecture was superb with the hotel beautifully blending into the nature! I think I had the best night sleep in this hotel as the place was so quiet and pleasant. Also getting to see some monkeys freely wondering around the facility was very refreshing too! The highlight was the infinity pool, which does not seem as impressive in size at a first glance, but once you dip in, you’ll know why this place is special. I loved the pool so much that I could stay there the whole afternoon! It is located fairly closely to the Sigiriya Rock so was pretty accessible after our hike. Would definitely come back again!
Haruka, 1-night trip

It is one of the hotels designed by Bawa.It stands as if it blends in with the natural surroundings.However, mosquitoes and other annoying insects are rarely seen. Every staff member at the hotel is warm and welcoming.The hotel is relatively close to several tourist attractions such as Sigiriya Rock and safari tours.

Location is absolutely gorgeous and easy to see elephants come across at night. But customer office is not responding or assist with any refund stuff, and have no action to solve another problem during stay.

Love this place, and its people 😊

10/10 Exceptional

Although this is an excellent review I have to say I was a bit surprised at the size of the pools. I like to swim laps but the pools were smaller than I'd thought. My fault, of course (lack of blueprints!). One pool seems to have been given over to the monkeys (lucky them!) which was interesting. But perhaps it was seasonal? Anyway, if you're expecting to swim laps lower those expectations and just enjoy the spectacular view from the infinity perspective of the pool....

Excellent hotel! It’s worth for staying. All members of staff are always smiling and very kind to children. They make us happy. Food presentation also outstanding. Facilities are of course nice. We’ll back some time here.
KAZUYOSHI, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a beautiful and well-designed hotel in a unique location next to the lake and jungle. The staff were attentive and thoughtful. The only downside was the dining options - the menus are international and expensive, and the remote location of the hotel makes it difficult to eat elsewhere. We would have preferred more local Sri Lankan options. However, the buffet breakfast was varied and impressive.
Melanie, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful location

Wonderful location for a hotel. Fabulous views. Very good room. Only concern was the number of large groups staying there who dominated the restaurant.
