Amazing experience
Pros:

We really loved our stay at the resort. The service and the staff were amazing, and the resort itself, along with its facilities, was wonderful.
The villa with the private pool was exactly what we needed for our first couple of days of the trip.

We also discovered Sri Lankan food there, and it was both delicious and unique.

We would definitely love to come back again.

Lovely hotel right in the middle of nature
Pros:

Amazing rooms located right in the middle of nature. Our pool villa was surrounded by forest, and we could see some amazing animals such as monkeys and exotic birds thought the floor to ceiling windows. The rooms are very comfortable and clean, and we enjoyed the views during breakfasts in the restaurant. Good location for Sigiriya and other nearby sites.

Doğayla iç içe harika otel
Pros:

Otel çalışanları çok fazla güleryüzlü ve ilgililerdi. Neye ihtiyacımız olsa anında hallettiler. Tüm transferlerimizi ve Safari turumuzu daha gelmeden organize ettiler. Odalarda hiç sıkıntı yaşamadık. Tertemizdi. Oda manzaraları muhteşemdi aynı fotoğraflarda göründüğü gibiydi. Srilanka ruhunu sonuna kadar hissedebileceğiniz bir yer. Kahvaltısı Sri Lanka seyahatimizde ettiğimiz en düzgün kahvaltıydı. Çok memnun kaldık. Doğum günüm olduğu için bana sürpriz bir pastayla kutlama bile organize etmişlerdi. Sigiryada konaklayabileceğiniz en iyi yer. Öncelikle jackie’ye sonrasında mr nimal ve kız kardeşine çok teşekkür ederiz 🙏🏻

Cons:

Wifi vardı ama çoğunlukla restorant kısmında çekiyordu

Pros:

Die Villen sind sehr schön eingerichtet, die Betten sind super bequem. Das Essen war sehr lecker und frisch. Der Pool war sehr groß und die gesamte Anlage sehr gepflegt. Das Personal ist sehr bemüht alle Wünsche zu erfüllen. Wir haben uns viel in der Umgebung angeschaut. Da das Hotel etwas tiefer im Dschungel ist waren die Anfahrtswege zu den Attraktionen etwas weiter. Dafür hat man die Natur direkt um sich was das Hotel außergewöhnlich macht.

Not the best of our stays in Sri Lanka
Pros:

Loved the location in the jungle and the sense of being completely isolated.

Cons:

The staff were generally not very helpful or engaged. Not very informative about the local sites or activities and not proactive in helping organise these for us - despite the accommodation being in the cultural triangle.

It would also be good to have actual floor to ceiling black out blinds because the blinds in the room do nothing to block out the light, resulting in 5am wake ups. Not fun!

Beautiful & secluded villa off the beaten track with amazing food and staff
Pros:

Nimal the property manager and his staff were great during our stay, and overall, we felt very taken care of. When we had trouble getting a tuk tuk via pickme/uber to get around, Nimal would help us get that sorted. No matter how late we got back, they'd always have someone waiting for us in the main concierge area to make sure everything's ok and get our breakfast order. When Nimal learned we were traveling to Ella on the day of checkout, he informed the kitchen staff and prepare a snack (delicious AND amazingly packaged sandwiches and bananas) and water for our travel. We'd stay here again!

Very relaxing
Pros:

A very beautiful and peaceful location. Sigiriya town about 10 minute drive.
Every villa totally private surrounded by trees and vegetation.
You can watch the monkeys passing by from your bed!

Cons:

Very potholed rutted road to the property. Could have been made worse by the recent rains.

Not worth for $500 per night.
Pros:

The staff was super friendly. They were super attentive. The place was super clean and beautiful.

Cons:

The location was fabulous and rooms are amazing. The staff was super attentive. But not worth for the price. At $500/room, you are better off at a different hotel. After coming from Galle Face (CMB), Uga Jungle (Trinco) and Leopard Trails (Wilpaththu), in comparison, the Wild Grass rooms are worth about $200-$250 range and the food is worth 1/4 of what Wild Grass is charging. The Lion lagers 2X what they are charging at other 5 star hotels. They try too hard and reek of desperation, and it is 5 star price for 2 star quality at best. They are always trying to bait and switch and roping guests into the dinner buffet, with the worst one being the New Years one at $90/person. Honestly, I had a better buffet at a street side hotel for <$10/person. I think they realized the ridiculousness of it all when they discounted it at checkout to $35/person. Having read their reviews, I'm sure they'll go on the defensive and respond, but I hope they know this is my opinion and they need to respect it. I hope they invest the energy into visiting some 5 start hotels and learning 5 start service or at least lowering the price.

Serene greenery and warm hospitality
Pros:

In the middle of beautiful jungle forest, but still close enough to all the important sights this region has to offer. The staff are impeccable and super friendly, the food was great, and they helped to arrange all our trips whilst there. It’s a serene place that for anyone wanting to disconnect in a feast of greenery and warm hospitality, it’s perfect.

Cons:

Nothing, all was good. Anyone wanting super reliable high speed WiFi shouldn’t expect it in the middle of a jungle.

A beautiful stay in a secluded location
Pros:

This was our 4th visit to Wild Grass and once more it didn't disappoint. Loved everything!

Wild Grass is absolutely stunning and so peaceful. The villas are very modern but sympathetic to the surroundings and so spacious. AC was very efficient. And the bathroom!!! Loved it, especially the outdoor shower.
Since our last visit some of the villas now have pools overlooking the lake. I'm so glad we decided to go with one of these rooms.

The staff and Mr Nimal all went out of their way to be helpful.

Cons:

There was honestly nothing that we didn't like.
