“Amazing place led by the best individual you will ever meet.”

This was an absolutely beautiful place which was completely made by its staff led by an amazing guy called Mohan. He was completely committed to making sure you were looked after. Nothing was too much trouble and he ensured that any trips out were safe and coordinated properly and that we messaged him when we were 15 minutes out so he could open the gates and greet us personally. Mohan also gave us a very informative tour of their herb and spice garden which was completely free and very worthwhile. He has so much knowledge! The food was delicous, the rooms very clean and comfortable and a great size and the pool was beautiful. We also enjoyed a wonderful massage! We had a late flight home but Mohan let us stay and use all the facilties after we checked out. There is customer service and then there is Mohan!

“Great customer experience and services. Dedicated staff.”

Short distance from Colombo airport. Optimal timing to join , checking and sleep after long journey night flights .

“The accommodation, the whole place and the team are exceptional. Would come back in a heartbeat 💓”

It’s like paradise- so peaceful and beautiful

Beautiful lodge in a beautiful garden.

“Well kept beautiful location with lots of birds and other wildlife, highly recommend to stay here.”

Very friendly staff, very knowledgeable guide for the tour of spice garden, cooking class is well organised and the dishes we cooked are delicious!

Mohan and the team are amazing!!!! Best service, so warm and welcoming. Great pool, beautiful natural setting, so manicured and well maintained. Spackious room, beautiful bathroom. Food was exceptional, curry dinner amazing and breakfast lovely too. All our food from products grown on the farm. Brilliant!

A very Special place in Sri Lanka! Beautiful place with beautiful staff, attentive and knowledgeable. Very professional service. The pool, the farm, quiet and hidden. The tranquility, the spice garden & 🌴 The Cooking class and massage a big plus :-) And of course, the amazing food. One of the best we had in Sri Lanka. Thanks to Mohan, Kasun, Danilka,Anjali & Naomi to make us feel home. We can’t wait to come back! Keep always your good hearts active 🫶 Floris & Maria

“Fanatastic staff! Food authentic and great! The overall stay is amazing!”

I really loved the the customer service provided by the all of the staff members! They made our stay more special! The hotel picked us up from the airport, and staff helped us get Sim Cards and Cash. From the time we arrived, we were greeted with cold drinks, cold towels and our suitcases were all carried for us. We really enjoyed the spice garden! We were wandering about to but then one of the staff members who I presume is the manager came and took us on a tour around the spice garden. He taught us what each plants/trees were for and we even tasted it! We saw turmeric, peppers, jackfruits, cinnamon, and so much more! Honestly recommend this place for anyone who love some space from crowded areas. Because this is so remote but also he hospitality is very personable and nice here! Food was amazing! Both dinner and breakfast. It was made with the organic ingredients homegrown from the place which made this place even more special but also how they cooked it in a separate space from you. Everything about this place is great but what makes it greater is the staff members and how much care they have towards their agriculture and country which I really loved hearing about! I really hope to travel again to this place hopefully when we have children as it’s a child friendly environment to be in.

“Perfect place to start or end your holiday”

The super friendly staff, who went out of their way to make our stay memorable (eg when my daughter hurt herself they produced a toy elephant for her to keep, or making different dishes of food because had never tried them). Added to this the very relaxed vibe of the place made it the perfect place to end our holiday.

Incredibly attentive staff. We had swim after dark and they brought drinks to us poolside. Our son was to tired to wait for dinner so they set it up at our room instead. Thank you for the special & beautiful memories

“Beyond Exceptional”

We cannot even describe how exceptional Ambarella Lodge is and all the incredible staff. We have travelled the world and stayed in a variety of places but this is by far the best, most impressive, most luxurious place we have ever stayed with such attention to detail, happy and attentive staff and food that should be Michelin Star! Arjuna the Manager was so helpful with our holiday plans and the owner, Mr Luvis Siriwardhana went above and beyond to ensure our whole holiday travelling around Sri Lanka was fabulous. We were helped with planning our ongoing journey and hiring a taxi driver and all the logisitcs. Arjuna stayed in contact as we travelled around the country and said we could contact him at any time if we needed anything which was just amazing. Never experienced such customer service like this. We loved it so much here that our 1 night became 2 and then we came back at the end of the holiday for another 2 nights. Kasun was so attentive and would prepare our sunbeds in the morning before we even asked! He was always happy and we would have such lovely chats with him. Anjali is just the sweetest and when my husband burnt himself in the sun she went and got aloe Vera to help which sums up the staff, always going above and beyond! Lakshika took us around the spice garden and on a village tour in a tuk tuk and was so friendly and lovely. The Chef would come and see us at dinner and we were always asked what food we would like and were treated like royalty. The food was incredible. The best food I have ever tasted. Breakfast was enormous and so delicious. Staying in this hotel was the beat decision and absolutely made our holiday to Sri Lanka. Thank you to everybody. Oh and I mustn't forget the incredible massages either! And our room! Large, clean and so comfortable. Everything is just perfect. We will most definitely be coming back to Sri Lanka and the first place we will be staying is here xx

“Couldn’t recommend more! Cannot wait to return !!”

Do not hesitate, book ! Amazing hotel with staff who go above and beyond to make your stay as comfortable as possible. This was ideal last night before our flight. When we return to Sri Lanka we will make this our first stop as well as our last! We felt like genuine princesses and the tour of the spice garden was a wonderful addition to the stay too. The room was spacious and the beds comfortable. Everything was very clean and well thought out. Wonderful pool and to top it off, the best rice and curry of our 3 week trip!

“One of our best stays, we'll definitely be back!”

This place is an amazing getaway in the middle of the jungle, just a 30-minute drive from the airport. We spent our last day and night here, and what a way to end our trip! The food is fantastic, with incredibly fresh local dishes, of which almost all ingredients come straight from their own garden. At sunset, the manager gave us a tour of the garden, explaining how they grow and harvest the different herbs, vegetables, and fruits. The rest of the staff is also super friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with a smile. It’s truly the perfect place to relax before or after a long flight. Many thanks, and we will definitely be back!

“A great hotel to rest before starting your trip around Sri Lanka.”

A perfect hotel to relax when you start or finish your trip in Sri Lanka. We were there just for 24h and would love to stay more. The food, the pool and the gardens were amazing. Very kind staff, we will be back.

“A perfect paradise to come to for our first night after a long flight.”

Clean rooms, great location a short drive from airport, spectacular setting, friendly staff.

“A Perfect Oasis”

A wonderful end to our stay in Sri Lanka-wish we could have stayed longer. After the hustle and bustle of Kandy, Ambarella Lodge was a beautiful oasis and we are so glad we chose to stay here. Everything was perfect, from the friendly attentions of Karu and Angeli (who looked after us so well) to the beautiful room and pool. We enjoyed our tour of the spice garden and the food was superb too!

Rooms are big and comfortable, hosts are lovely and able to arrange transfers to the airport / train station. The tour of the spice garden was really interesting. Very good Sri Lankan breakfast.

“A dream getaway in nature”

The entire team were so friendly and helpful during our stay. Everyone is so passionate and knowledgeable, we loved the spice tour and the ayurvedic massages! The room was spotless and the food was delicious. One of our favourite ever holidays.

“AAA+”

AAA+.. Manager and entire Crew!! good job.. keep going!

“Personal attention and amazing staff”

Best staff I have experienced. The guys were so friendly. They are amazing. The food and the spice route made this a 9+ experience. They deserve everything that is coming to them. Well done! We booked this hotel on our first day, since it was close to the airport, we might book on our last day as well.
