It’s beautiful for a relaxing night away, that’s enough.

It wasn’t what I expected. It’s a beautiful place and the rooms are amazing, they even gave us a better view however it’s not quite ready for western travellers. They don’t have a bar however happy for us to bring our own wine and kindly sold me a nice red for cheap. The actives are expensive and even to hike cost 40 euros.. I like to solo hike personally so this really confused me, the food was good and the staff go above and beyond but they seem young and maybe a little untrained. Breakfast was amazing!

wonderful resort secluded in the nature

The employees were exceptionally nice and the room absolutely gorgeous. We had a fantastic stay in this hotel on our trip back to Colombo. The hotel is a bit hidden and the entrance might seem a bit surprising but be prepared to have a wonderful surprise when reaching the actual resort. we loved the local breakfast as well and our dinner was exquisite under the stars

Fantastic escape from the hustle and bustle in wonderful surroundings and the friendliest staff

The staff could not have been more helpful or friendly. They were all fantastic and so lovely. The views are excellent. The rooms very comfortable and clean. It’s a lovely place to relax. It’s a little remote being far up from the main road so make sure that’s the vibe you’re after. Very lovely place to stay though

It's nice and has great potential.

Nice views, The staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms are great size. Try to get a top floor room. Would be the place to go when I just want to chill and take in the view.

A unique accommodation built into the hillside. We received a very warm welcome and the service was always attentive. There were several pools for relaxation. We particularly liked the design of the accommodation.

Friendly staff, but disappointing stay.

The staff were very friendly and polite, and the overall atmosphere of the resort was pleasant and welcoming. The service team was attentive, and the food was acceptable. It felt like a calm and peaceful environment to relax.

During our recent stay at the bed and breakfast, my partner and I had a truly delightful experience. The accommodation was cozy and impeccably clean, providing a perfect retreat after a day of exploring. We enjoyed waking up to a breathtaking view that added a special charm to our morning. The food served was absolutely delicious, with a variety of fresh, well-prepared options that catered to our tastes perfectly. Each meal felt thoughtfully made and gave us a great start to the day. What truly stood out was the friendliness of the staff. From the moment we arrived, they were welcoming, attentive, and eager to make our stay comfortable. Their warm service made us feel right at home. Overall, the combination of comforting accommodation, fantastic food, stunning views, and exceptional staff hospitality made this stay memorable. We would highly recommend this bed and breakfast to anyone looking for a peaceful and pleasant getaway.

Great private space in the jungle, very comfortable with everything we needed and good food brought to us. Only suitable

I liked the final location, on a hillside in the jungle. Room was very clean and comfortable, nice bathroom, hot water, minibar/fridge, big private veranda. Staff were friendly, brought meals to us and otherwise left us alone.

Beautiful resort with incredibly friendly staff.

We had a fantastic two-day stay at this beautifully designed mountain retreat. Tucked away in the hills, the hotel has a wonderful, peaceful atmosphere and stunning views all around. Our spacious and spotless room came with a balcony overlooking the valley—perfect for relaxing in the comfy hanging chairs. The pools and bars were great, and although there are a few steps to climb, it’s absolutely worth it. The staff go above and beyond—they carried our bags and were so kind and helpful that we joked they’d probably carry us up the stairs if they could! The outdoor activities arranged through the hotel were also well organized and a lot of fun. We’ll look back on our time here with nothing but great memories. Highly recommended!

Unwinding in Nature's Tranquility

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful nature resort. The surrounding was serene and beautiful, and the hotel is an example of eco-friendly architecture, thoughtfully constructed to preserve the surrounding environment while offering a perfect balance of comfort and sustainability. They offer quad bike rides and hikes, and we thoroughly enjoyed the quad bike ride. The staff was very nice and helpful. Had some issues with some guests being a bit loud and the staff handled it very nicely.

Forest canopy retreat. Good for one night.

The accommodation set amongst the forest canopy was really nice. The room was very comfortable. Perfect for a one night stop on the way to somewhere else.

Off-the-track Inaccessible Jungle Guesthouse

This place is a guest-house vibe in a jungle location, set atop a hill-top. You are surrounded by greenery in a nicely kitted-out room with AC, fan and amenities. There is a single shared pool (not a private pool, as I’d understood from photos). Staff were friendly but seemed inexperienced and wore no uniform. Food was very good. My main host was a kind man.

Big hit but can be a miss

Uniquely located on a forested slope. Beautifully furnished rooms with open views but try to get upper units for privacy. Thanks to Mr. Menake for his kind service and warm conversation.
