Eco-retreat
Pros:

Fabulous eco-retreat in the rural wilderness of Sri Lanka. Loved the feel and vibe of this resort. Everyone was super friendly and we came away very relaxed after a two night stay. Unlike anywhere wise we visited on our two week trip. Recommended

Fantastic Eco Hotel
Pros:

What an exceptionally beautiful hotel, set away in a magnificent rainforest.
We had a room right on a cascading creek and the sound of the water was pure magic.
There were a family of monkeys on the trees directly in front of our balcony, oblivious to us.
So much fun to observe them.
The service of the staff was exceptional and Dumi, our guide had a deep knowledge of the area and took us on some wonderful local field trips.
I cant praise Glenrock enough.
Keep in mind that you are in the middle of a rainforest, so expect some creepy crawlies.

Pros:

It is unique and super in every way. The staff are fantastic. Big thank you to Dominda who went out of his way to help. The trip to the waterfall and swim is a must do. Domindas English is great and as a local explains everything which provides an insight to this incredible place. We will come back and stay longer next time! 🙏

A hidden gem!
Pros:

This is a hidden gem a few hours inland from the busy southern coast. Service is amazing as is the landscape. We received a complimentary tour and spa treatment. The design is really interesting and sits well within the trees on the property. Highly recommend!

This is an amazing property hidden from the main city and nature all around. I am so happy i found it on Expedia . Staff was very courteous and took us around for village tour and available whenever you need them.
Spa was also amazing and i would love to go back and stay for a week if i get a chance.
5 stars all the way.

Pros:

Outstanding property. Very quiet admist nature with river flowing nearby. Room was big and clean, jaccuzi was great and the food was delicious.

But what stood out was the customer service of the people who work there. In all my travel I have never experienced such a customer service anywhere. Especially Asalanka and Dimender. They were soft spoken, clearly explained everything and was willing to help with anything. The people who work there is what makes the difference and is definitely a highlight of my Srilanka trip. Definitely Recommended 5 stars.

Pros:

This is a beautiful hotel. We decided based on reviews to change our itinerary to stay at the Glenrock, bypassing some more popular places. We were very glad we did. The beauty of the environment, the quality of the food and most of all the friendliness of the Glenrock team made this a very memorable part of our Sril Lanka holiday. We couldn't recommend it more.

Fantastic Luxury retreat in Sri Lanka
Pros:

We had a wonderful 4 night stay at the Glenrock with our two children (11 and 8) this July. The setting is idyllic in amongst paddy fields, a beautiful river, exotic plants and trees and animals (chameleons, monkeys and birds).
The modern room was great, really comfortable clean and spacious, had a large bathroom (including Jacuzzi!) and a balcony with lovely view overlooking the river valley.
We chose half board and were not disappointed with the food which was generous and delicious - the staff even went out their way to make a birthday cake for us!
The staff were wonderful, kind, attentive and knowledgable about the environment, advising walks and trips to go on including walks from the hotel and a short trip to a local swim hole where we swam in the river.
I highly recommend this hotel if you want to escape and unwind in beautiful natural surroundings.

An absolute haven.
Pros:

There are no words to describe this hotel! The service was amazing and staff were always smiling and eager to help. The food was good, the rooms were gorgeous, upgraded bathrooms were appreciated. This secluded hotel tucked away in nature has the most incredible location. Surrounded by wilderness, over a river, monkeys in the trees, deer in the woods, butterflies everywhere. Utterly blissful! Albeit a bit of a drive to get anywhere but on the other hand why would one want to go elsewhere? There's lots of good trails around the hotel/villages, massage treatments, worth spending a few days to simply drink in the views.

Pros:

The lodge is set in a secluded mountain area overlooking the mountains so the view was fantastic. As it is a small lodge, we were well taken care by the staff. Great to be able to order our food and wait for a call from them to tell us when the food is ready. The rooms are nice and spacious.

In summary - paradise
