Lodges in Matale District

"We had a fabulous stay. The hotel is beautiful and the staff wonderful, particularly our butler, Prasanna."

"Lovely people, great view over the lake and countryside beyond, wonderful room. Breakfast was outstanding. Really enjoyed our stay at Jetwing lake - which we used as a base for visiting the incredible sights in the area (Dambulla, Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa)"

"Lovely calm resort. Felt like a retreat. Loved the location. Set in the jungle. Dinner was lovely. "

"Lovely rooms, very attentive staff and super location if you’re planning to climb lions rock."

"Everything was perfect from start to end. The staff..made me feel at home and made sure everything was perfect and that I felt comfortable and safe"

"Lovely hotel in great surrounding. Fab infinity pool for Insta worthy pics. The food at the hotel was outstanding and by far the best buffets we had during our trip to Sri Lanka and definitely the best hoppers. The hotel is built into a rock. Some areas felt a little dated in decor and check in was a bit slow but this could be due to the large numbers of people staying at the hotel. The pool boys at the infinity pool were fabulous in helping us take photographs that captured the beauty of the area. The room was lovely and we had a fantastic view of Sigiriya and a jacuzzi with an outside view. Great base for exploring Sigiriya and the Eco elephant safari."

"Amazing grounds, tons of wildlife on the property including a ton of monkeys and peacocks. Super kind owners, excellent Sri Lankan food (and beers!). Nice pool, and really close to Siguriya Rock and nearby businesses. Can’t wait to return."

"Melrose villas is tucked away off the main road but still within walking distance / short tuk tuk ride away from village. Rooms are simple and it may take a while to find right temperature for the shower. But what really stands out is their great service, simple but freshly made meals and view of Sigiriya Rock in the distance. "

"The chef was outstanding, Nalin had 28 years experience and presented us with meals of a high standard with great service. They were in the process of renovating but this did not deminish our experience. All the staff were friendly and the meals were inexpensive. We wish the new owner and staff great success as their attitude and attention to guest requests warrants reward."
