Good place. It needs some minor fix ups.
Pros:

The pool, our spacious room, good customer service, and the restaurant 👌

Cons:

No hot water and the bed was far too hard.

Clean - it really is what matters most!
Pros:

Family owned, very friendly people. Got a recently renovated room that was very comfortable and probably the cleanest we've had all of our time in Sri Lanka. Accommodated our request for earlier breakfast. Cannot comment on swimming pool or food as we didn't try. We stayed just one night.

Cons:

The stay was great, hence the 10 rating. Only tip I can give the hotel, and I can give this tip to almost every hotel in Sri Lanka (we stayed in about 10): in the bathroom, separate your shower by a glass wall or at least a shower curtain, it keeps the whole bathroom from getting wet. Do not let this deter you from staying, it is the same in almost every hotel bathroom in Sri Lanka.

Pros:

Great hotel. Nice and clean and upgraded us to the treehouse. Bed was really comfortable and we had both a/c and a fan. Very accommodating and made sure we were booked for a great safari tour. Nice restaurant on site. Went over and above providing take away breakfast for the tour and breakfast at the hotel that accommodated my food intolerance. Highly recommend.

A touch of luxury to enhance your stay in SriLanka
Pros:

We had a wonderfully relaxing few days. The staff were friendly and helpful and the meals were most enjoyable. Our room was immaculately clean and the water was hot. It was lovely to be able to sit out on a balcony and read. The manager arranged a great safari to Bandula National Park and provided us with a very tasty breakfast to take with us. On leaving, they were able to arrange transport to our next hotel. The recently extended and beautifully decorated hotel is located in a quiet area looking out on the river. The local wildlife of birds and animals could be heard and appreciated. Thank you to all the members of the family who cared for us throughout our stay! We highly recommend everyone to stay at your beautiful hotel.

Great stay near Tissamaharama
Pros:

I love this place and could have stayed longer. A clean swimming pool. A restaurant on site and we could eat any time. Staff were very accommodating. There was also a free jeep tour (offer tips) of the local area where I saw monkeys.
Wonderful!

Major construction
Pros:

Overall it was ok.. good design. Newest rooms. My problem that haven't disclosed that they are under construction. Try to relax at the pool when workers are putting tiles 5 miters from you and stare at you all the time.

Good place, a bit isolated
Pros:

This is a great place, with a great staff. The pool was just being finished when we stayed here. It will help because it is a bit removed from restaurants and the town in general. If there for a safari to Yala, they will arrange that for you (at a slightly higher price than in town)

Good location for safari
Pros:

The reason for coming to this area was to visit Yalla national park. The hotel organised an excellent half day safari for us with a really good, knowledgeable guide. This was really helpful as there were so many touts offering trips it could have been a nightmare. The accommodation was adequate, the staff friendly and helpful. All in all it provided good value for money.

A modern hotel with a traditional touch.
Pros:

Just minutes off the main road, you enter through an impressive gateway and see in front of you an almost fairytale structure, set in a tropical garden. Large rooms with cold drinks always available. FYI however, I suspect that it's a little walk to town or anywhere else if you don't have a car.
