"Very rural location which meant we were very aware of the noise of village dogs during the night.
It is an 8 minute tuktuk ride from the Dambulla bus stand, but only a 600 metre walk to the access to the Dambulla Cave Temples.
The bathroom was tired and could do with a significant refresh."

"Séjour d une nuit très agréable, avec un très bon petit déjeuner pour le SL.
La piscine au milieu des arbres est très sympa, surtout pr les enfants… chambre au top propre et bien aménagé. Bonne ambiance lounge le soir même si la musique un peu forte.
À améliorer : le Check in où il n y avait personne à l arrivée, et comme notre chambre était pas prete, nous avons dû revenir et toujours personne donc un peu d attente.
La lenteur et la qualité des plats du restaurant. "

"I booked and paid for a night 3 days in advance. The morning of my reservation, I drove over 4 hours just to have them tell me they were closed on Thursdays. Then, over the phone with someone claiming to be the owner, he tried to act like it was my fault that he wasn't there.
Then, after repeatedly providing proof that I had paid, he complained about how he didn't know where the payment went. When I told him that the location of the money was between him and the booking site because I did...

"Het is een aangenaam verblijf maar kamer zat vol muggen al zat er een anti mug plug in. Geen enkele kapstok of kast om kledij op te hangen. Van 7u s morgens tot 22u jazz muziek is te veel. Geen keuze gehad tussen Europees ontbijt of Sri likaans. Brits ontbijt gekregen,is een afknapper,brood is droog en ongeroosterd.."

"The hotel is average. Rooms are clean and spacious.
Amenities are good. What I didn’t like is the breakfast dining hall which is open from all sides and flies are roaming around. The butter was left open which should have been covered to ensure hygiene.
Lots need to be improved."

"Great staff which prevented me from giving one star. No wifi input rooms, no television channels except for one, swimming pool was out of order and lost goes on. Problem is not withthe staff - it is the owners of the hotel. Avoid LSR group hotels! There are better places to spend your money "

"Location - I am a regular guest at this property. It’s a bit of a heaven , utterly relaxing, surrounded by nature. The quality of my sleep always improves when staying at the property.
The hosts, Supipi and Uthpala are super hosts. The meals are mostly made by Supipi herself and of course delicious. This time stayed for 6 days, could have easily stayed longer. Will definitely return."

"Building and setting were lively but the comunal areas were lacking in atmosphere. There was no nice area for evening drinks which was disappointing."
"The place was having work done around the pool, the owners dog bit me in reception the drinks and food is over priced and the location is in the middle of no where. I was booked for two nights but stayed for one, I suppose you get what you pay for lesson learned"

"Selvi , Abi and Madhu deserve to be recognised for their amazing service from the time we arrived for our 4 night stay , the girls were always smiling always helpful, we loved the daily towel art in our very clean and cool air conditioned room , then we enjoy the lovely pool and then we were spoilt rotten every morning with the delicious traditional Sri Lanka breakfasts , we give this hotel 6 stars "
"Sad case of lovely hotel falling into decay after Covid. We four were only guests for our two day stay. Staff could not do enough but could not find booking, pool very neglected and rooms although enormous could do with a large amount of tender loving care. One I hope succeeds in the future."
