Guest Reviews
It is a beautiful location, very close to Kandy town and the temple. I enjoyed walking around the Kandy lake after I visited the temple which was a walking distance from the hotel. Staffs were very friendly and my food was prepared the way I wanted.
Nothing, everything was the way I expected.
Parking was made available. Quick response from the owner and the staff to issue that needed attention, they were very attentive to the us. Morever the staff were friendly and easy going. The balcony view was one of the best sights ever, highly recommend.
We booked two rooms of which, one did not have a cold water supply and the bathtub drian was blocked. Things like this needs to be thoroughly checked otherwise this could pose a serious Health & Safety Issue.
The property was clean and beautiful, at an amazing location and the hospitality was just amazing.
Very convenient location, 10 minutes walk around the lake to the temple and the town. Comfortable room and the staff is friendly and helpful. And also there restaurant is very good.
As a solo female traveler, I had an amazing stay at LAKEFIELD hotel I felt safe and truly welcomed throughout my visit. The staff were incredibly friendly and always ready to help with a smile. The food was absolutely delicious—Dinner and Breakfast was a highlight of my day. Highly recommend this hotel for solo travelers looking for comfort, safety, and great hospitality!"
I had an awesome stay at Hotel Lakefield! They served amazing food with an authentic Sri Lankan twist and a consideration for the spice tolerance 😅
Very accommodating staff who answered our billion questions and a well kept room with everything that we needed. Amazing views of Kandy - the mountains and greenery are something I’ll never get used to!!
Fantastic hotel with excellent customer service - they know how to treat guests right. The room also had the most beautiful views of the Kandy Lake, just out the balcony! I would sit out there and have my tea every morning I just couldn’t get enough. Will definitely be returning here for my next visit.
Quality traditional breakfast.
Beautiful hotel, amazing service, would most definitely stay there again!
Convenient location and Very nice hotel. Friendly staff and good food. Room was cozy and well-maintained. Highly recommend!
The breakfast was very good we enjoyed the Sri Lankan food, ideal location only 10 minutes walk to the city centre and the world famous Buddhist temple. I walked around the lake in the evening and it was very peaceful surrounding. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. my stay was very comfortable and excellent value for money.
Nothing to be concerned,
Beautiful stay!
It is close to the Kandy lake Walking distance 5mins The room was very pleasant, it was cozy and clean. Breakfast was excellent and incredibly varied. The hotel team has always been friendly, patient and helpful. That impressed me the most. No matter what time of day or night, you could turn to them with all your concerns. On my next stays, I will definitely check into Lakefield Hotel The price performance ratio is very good." Highly recommended
Central location
No hot water
Either fan or Air conditioning available to use at a time, not both together
No cooked dinner available because not many booked that day. They needed to make dinner only for me. Dinner was very small potions served. Not much choice was there.
As much as I truly loved Sri Lanka—its warm-hearted people, breathtaking landscapes, and rich culture—PLEASE DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL.
This is not a reflection of the country or its people, but rather an isolated and deeply troubling experience with this specific hotel, which subjected us to a ***calculated scam involving foreign exchange manipulation, intimidation tactics, unlawful passport withholding, and racial abuse.***
Avoid this hotel at all costs. Many reviews echo our experience—it’s part of a repeated scam targeting tourists. This is uncommon and unheard of elsewhere in Sri Lanka, so please do not generalize our experience. Sri Lanka is a beautiful destination—just be cautious and informed !!
Short summary of our report and lawsuit:
• Booked via Booking.com for $20 USD/night, but staff refused USD and forced me to pay in Sri Lankan Rupees using a manipulated exchange rate using a fake central bank website page
• When I challenged them, they ignored the official rate and told me I “didn’t understand how it works here.”
• The owner showed up, gave us an ultimatum: pay their fake rate or leave. Then staged an overbooking and threw out our luggage.
• They withheld our passport copies and the receptionist responded with racial slurs and abuse.
• We’ve filed official complaints and are taking legal action for fraud, racial discrimination, and illegal conduct.
⸻
Bottom line:
This hotel runs a well-rehearsed scam targeting foreigners. Don’t be fooled by the low price—it’s not worth the trauma or the trouble.
