Pros:

Our family had a fantastic experience at Amber House Lanka. Traveling as tourists with my family and kids,we found it to be an excellent choice for families.

The accommodation was clean and well-equipped, with the added bonus of being able to cook on-site, which was really convenient. The owners were incredibly friendly and treated us like family, making our stay even more enjoyable.

The location is ideal, the view is amazing!you can view the river from the comfort of your bed.The beach can be accessed by boat provided by the lake house and its just across the river, few metres away from the lake house. From the location, you can explore the areas around;the beach, mangroves, see sea turtles,water sports activities, etc and enjoy the natural beauty around the place.

In terms of value for money, it was definitely worth it! The included breakfast and the fact that kids stay free made our stay even more enjoyable.

I highly recommend Amber House Lanka to families and even individuals seeking a memorable and delightful getaway.

Loved the view from the balcony overlooking the river. The swimming pool was a great bonus as well. Loved the beach and the boat ride across the river to access it.
Breakfast was great as was the seafood/ fish when we had a couple of evening meals.

Cons:

Wished we had known there is a 3% charge for use of a bank card to pay our bill.

Pros:

Séjour absolument merveilleux dans cet hôtel familial ! Tout est parfaitement tenu et on sent immédiatement la gentillesse et l’attention de la famille qui s’en occupe. Ils sont vraiment aux petits soins et rendent le séjour encore plus agréable.
Nous avons également fait une magnifique excursion sur le fleuve, un moment très dépaysant et très bien organisé.
Et que dire de la langouste… absolument délicieuse, parfaitement cuisinée ! Un vrai régal.
Un endroit plein de charme où l’on se sent vraiment bien. Nous recommandons cet hôtel les yeux fermés !

Not enough parking space inside the property.

Pros:

Room was large and spacious, with a great view over the river however that is where the plus points end.

Cons:

Worse stay in Sri Lanka!

The bathroom, particularly the shower was filthy, it looked like it hadn’t been cleaned properly in a long time, as a lot of black mould in the corners. We weren’t comfortable using it.
Towels were worn, covered in stains.
Overall decor of room was dated, and we didnot feel relaxed and comfortable due to the poor level of cleanliness .
Fridge was dirty, and unhygienic, with old dried up muck left on the shelves. It needed a proper deep clean.

Staff were unfriendly, with a cold, nonchalant attitude.
None of the warm Sri Lankan welcome was in evidence, which we had experienced at every other accommodation we had stayed in during our 2 week stay in Sri Lanka.
The pool is in reception and is unusable for swimming as it has a wall in the middle of it.

Due to our schedule, we didn’t have time to check out and find
anything else, for one night.
However, we got up early, and checked out as soon as we could.
We couldn’t wait to get out, and stay somewhere else, this time at a hotel with a positive energy, and at least a few smiling faces!

How this hotel gets such high reviews only knows?!
We certainly felt duped!


There are so many great places to stay in Sri Lanka, so it was so disappointmenting that on this occasion, we had such a bad experience.
