Pros:

Das Hotel und die Anlage ist sehr schön gelegen. Man ist weg von der kleinen Stadt Kitugala. Man kann im Fluss baden, der sehr angenehm ist. Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr und immer hilfsbereit.

Cons:

Einfach zu teuer für den Preis. Essen war gut, aber für den Standart nicht ausreichend. Wenn man schon europäische Preise zahlt, möchte ich auch was außergewöhnliches haben. Zu viel Personal läuft teilweise herum, egal wo man ist, jemand läuft einem hinterher. Aufmerksamkeit schön und gut, geht aber anders. Das Zimmer und das Badezimmer habe ich als zu klein empfunden. Bei der kleinen "Safari"Tour auf dem Gelände vom Hotel lag an einer Stelle sehr viel Müll. Ich würde mich als solches Hotel schämen.

Amazing, would come back
Pros:

Amazing place in the rain forest! It is all as beautiful as advertised. A new building in the nature, all rooms face the forest, sounds of nature all around you. The hotel is small so you get very personal experience. Staff are super helpful! And you can pay for everything with a bank card (although, if needed, ATMs are available a short drive away). Comfy bed, great wifi, tasty and beautifully presented food. Great place to switch off and relax. They also can arrange various activities in the area

Cons:

The only minor downside - bathroom was surprisingly tiny (at least in room 203)

Relaxing place to stay with excellent service
Pros:

This was the first place we stayed at after arriving in Sri Lanka. We wanted a place to relax and to go water rafting. The manager Kenny is helpful, efficient and friendly . We felt well looked after by him and his team and it made for a very enjoyable and relaxing stay. We went water rafting which we organised ourselves and we also went on a walk to a waterfall , arranged by Kenny and guided by Danushka who took us in his tuk tuk. It was a nice walk and the waterfall and rock pool which we swam in was clean and quiet. We stayed on a half board basis and the choices and quality of food at breakfast and dinner were excellent. The pool was a delight - clean and pretty. Overall, this was a great stay

Cons:

Nothing

A beautiful hotel nestled away in the jungle. Great for breaking up a long journey
Pros:

This was a lovely hotel and broke up our journey really well between Columbo and N.Eliya. The staff were friendly, the food excellent and it was fun to do down to the river with the kids. The dining area is stunning all surrounded with glass in the jungle.

Cons:

Not much to say here, it was a great hotel

Great place to stay in kitulgala
Pros:

Amazing lodge in the middle of the rainforest. Not a lot of restaurants around, so we were just going to eat at the hotel, not with a lot of hope or expectation. How wrong we were. Food was first class. Service was first class. The staff (Kenny!) was kind and courteous and arranged a tuk tuk driver (dhanushk!) to show us a local waterfall and go swimming in the pond. So much fun!
