6 bed 'proper' Boutique Hotel excellent service and food, breakfast and dinner. Nice pool.
Its a little bit remote but perfect for our first 2 nights in SL.
The guided walk to the nearby Buddhist temple and cycle ride are both highly recommended and free, tips are appreciated but not mandatory.
Exceptionally attentive staff
Beautiful location and extremely comfortable and spacious
The best food we had in Sri Lanka
We stayed 2 nights at the end of our trip
The photos do not do this place justice
Nothing
Could not fault it
Very attentive staff, beautiful location right next to the lake and great food. Unfortunately we were suffering from severe jet lag and we only had one night here so we couldn’t enjoy it as much as we’d have liked. Would have stayed longer if we had more time!
We waren er maar 1 nacht, de laatste nacht voor ons vertrek naar huis, maar eigenlijk veel te kort. Het is een hele fijne plek met toegewijd personeel, allemaal even zorgzaam. Nemen alle tijd om je te verwennen. Kuma nam tijd om al onze vragen te beantwoorden, heeft de groente/fruittuin laten zien en zelfs curryleaves voor me gedroogd! Heerlijk gegeten. En wat een mooie sfeer in hotel en kamer. Komen graag terug maar dan zeker aan het begin van onze reis. Dank, dank!
Niets viel tegen, het was heerlijk.
Arriving here after a long days drive was magical. The grounds are beautiful and the staff provide a truly personalised experience. A quiet haven. We often felt as if we had the whole place to ourselves. Oh, and the food….wow! No menus - more like telling your personal chef what you are in the mood for. Fresh fruits in the morning are all grown in the grounds.
It is quintessentially Sri Lankan colonial style. The decor is well curated and the rooms are large.
No menu for food and suprise pricing at checkout.
This is a wonderful hotel with very attentive staff. Will be recommending to anyone coming to Sri Lanka.
Nothing that we didn’t like.
The way they made us feel welcome, explained everything, the stunning surroundings and the wonderful room!
Everything was perfect! Really!
Sensible location for those going north raise beautiful lake
Appalling food and the facilities lack investment.
Loved everything. So beautiful and staff soooo kind and helpful

Lovely and helpful staff, free bike tour around the lake and jungle, spacious spotless rooms. Food was also excellent. Great place to stay after a long flight.
Nothing.
the staff were exceptional and so accomodating. They took very good care of us and if it wasn't for the staff, then this hotel would not be outstanding. The rooms were lovely and big, there was a relaxing feel to the property. Unfortunately we didn't get to enjoy the pool or the surroundings as much as it rained the entire time we were there. The staff arranged for a lovely tuk tuk ride around the lake which was lovely. The food was excellent and the staff so polite and accomodating. Really welldone to the staff.
It appears on booking.com that the rooms have a TV - they do not! so just to make you aware of this. Perhaps it was due to the rain but the water and electricity in our rooms kept cutting off. One morning I woke up to turn the tap on and no water came out. My showers were completely cold the entire stay at this property - again I don't know if this was due to the rain but we were without electricity for 3 hours in the morning - could possibly be longer. The staff did not seem to respond to this well. There was a lack of clarity about the prices of dinner at the hotel, we would order the food and not know the prices or a menu until after. This was misleading.
An exceptional place to stay in beautiful surroundings.
A huge thank you to Dushan for his service. The breakfast and dinner were superb!
Nothing
A beautiful building. High ceilings, grand space but rest assured that it is an understated grandeur, set on the banks of a lake. Lovely flowers and birds. A tranquil place. Great Sri Lanka food. We didn’t try the western food, so cannot comment. Nice pool. It was about 45-50 mins from Colombo airport but a world away from the bustle of a city. English sockets was helpful. Good Wi-Fi connection. The kitchen garden is worth a tour.
I cannot think of anything.
The staff were excellent, the food was terrific and the grounds exceeded my expectation. The room was very large and majestic. I felt like a queen!
Moth ball smell on the swimming pool towels.
