    Disappointing First, The guests hadn't leave the rooms we had booked when we entered the hotel. So we had to wait for some time until they gone. No shops or restaurants nearby. The location is little bad. A jungle-like rural environment. They don't have a proper parking space either. It was just an open area in the front of the hotel with some plants here and there. The water in the pool was not quite clean. There were many leaves all around it. And the garden was poorly groomed. The grass was overgrown. And the garden had not been even swept well. There were many abandoned corners. The vanity drawers were dusty. There was no tv in the room. There wasn't a telephone to call for room service. Neither a receptionist in the front desk when I went to ask for help. Because the kettle we were give wasn't working and we didn't have any tea cups in the room. So I had to go to my sister in the next room to borrow a kettle and some glasses. So we had to drink our morning tea from water glasses. There was air conditioning in the room. But the problem was that the air conditioning is directly on the bed. And they didn't even have comforter. Only a thin blanket. Bathroom door didn't even have a lock. It was very difficult to adjust hot water temp. Bathoorm was so so. Just a little overpriced compared to other places. The staff was helpful and courteous. And the breakfast and lunch was good.

    We had a worst hotel stay ever !!! Such a waste of a holiday!!!! Extremely disappointed! We booked the hotel owing to very a good internet ratings. Once we went to there at around 4 pm ( while the checking time supposed to be at 2 pm ) one of the booked rooms was not ready , there were guests inside . We were asked to stay outside until they leave !! Cleanliness of the Environment has utterly neglected . Place was not maintained at all . Rooms were spacious. But bed linens and towels were very untidy. Full of marks and what not!! Bathrooms were not clean. No wifi as they have mentioned. Kettles were not provided. We had to asked for it . One of the provided kettles were out of the order.resulting my brother to come to our room for borrowing our kettle in the morning at 6 am πŸ˜…πŸ˜‘ Staff is friendly and flexible. But not organized at all . Swimming pool was nice and large. Food was generally good . There are very merits , however this place needs lot of improvements . Overall, we have learned a lesson, Hence we would never visit to this place again or will not recommend this to anyone known to us .

    I had a horrible experience with this place on 28th Sep 2023, and had to cancel my bookings after I visited to this place. I booked a triple room and a single room. The single room is a very little room even not suitable for drivers. I have requested for a better room and they said all were booked. But I didn't see any visitors even it was around 2.00 pm. I blamed them and cancelled the booking. The front office lady who wared spectacles, isn't aware about any customer service experience and very rude for the customers. They have mentioned this place as a three star hotel, but it's not even worth for one star!!! Never recommend this place.

    The experience we had was not very pleasant. We went there owing to the superb internet rating. The hotel condition was not up to the mark, maybe due to understaffing or negligence. Access: If you follow google maps, you will be shown a wild track, but there is a fairly good road if you are coming from the cement factory side. We informed the hotel that we would be late on the check-in (supposed to be at 2 pm) and even when we arrived at 4 pm, one of the reserved rooms was not ready and asked us to wait for another 15 minutes. When we arrived on the weekend, it seemed that all rooms were fully booked, yet the garden maintenance was absolutely poor. The staff seemed to be not to take care even to sweep the entrance. Although the rooms were spacious, there were not very clean. Bed linens were not clean. Washrooms were fairly clean, but cobwebs were seen and no sanitary tapes were on the commode. One room had no items to make tea and the provided kettle (upon the request) was out of order. The food was very nice especially the breakfast and the lunch. Amidst the limited number of staff, they were trying their best to serve. The mango ice cream dessert was really nice. Our washroom lock was not working. There was no safety box inside. Rooms do not have wifi or an intercom. There is difficulty to communicate office in case of emergency. The swimming pool was very large and clean and its maintenance was satisfactory. The staff is supportive and was flexible to allow us extra time for check out. Although there are some good merits (food and service), definitely they should be more concerned about hotel guests.

    Overall hotel is okay. Rooms are comfortable but bathrooms are not fully cleaned. Swimming pool is good too. Location is bit hard to find. We were two families and booked two family rooms with breakfast. But our experience with breakfast food is not good. They served taste foods but not enough for all the people and also served in very small containers at the end they said they are ran out of foods. Overall we are not happy with the breakfast

    Rooms needed maintenance. There were some caterpillars in the room. A frog made an appearance from the shower drain. However, the rooms were clean and spacious.

    Had a lovely stay here. The chef and his team were friendly, flexible and served really good food. They really made our stay an enjoyable experience. The hotel is a couple of KMs from town, but you can hire bikes or a tuk tuk here.

    The hotel is great. We’ve been here for two days and the place is so quiet and peaceful. There is an amazing swimming pool and the staff are helpful. There is an amazing guide available on the spot which shows you around just pure by his own life experience. He moves you away from the most populair tours and yet manages to let you see everything. As an non local this is really awesome. The owner is a lovely man you can have a good chat with.

    My second stay here. A home away from home. Excellent service and value for money. Shehan and his family are so welcoming and hospitable. I'll be back to defend my pool champion title πŸ˜„

    Hotel is set in a peaceful location outside of town, nice gardens and big swimming pool to escape the heat. Rooms were comfortable and clean. We ate twice at the restaurant and the food was excellent and the service was very friendly although a bit slow. Nice bar and pool table was a great added extra. Only issue was that the WiFi didn't work in the rooms.

    This is an amazing property amidst nature! The owner and his daughter are so friendly and make you feel at home! I have travelled quite a bit but haven’t come across hotel staff who treat you like family and they go out of their way to ensure your comfortable and get the meals you desire! It was a wonderful experience to stay here from the time you enter the premises! Your surroundings are greenery, birds chirping no other sounds! It’s only peace and tranquility out here! I believe that this place is blessed and May they continue to bring happiness and give a joyful experience to their clients! Highly recommended and believe you me, when I say you go back with fond memories and something within you changes!:-) Cheers to the team!

    We booked 2 family rooms for one night here. Pool was good. But there were some major cleanliness issues. Some of the blankets were really smelly. And the premise is not well maintained. Bathrooms door locks were broken in both the rooms. Amneties wise this is the worst stay I have ever stayed. They didn't provide an iron and a hair dryer even after we asked. "Those are available only for superior rooms" as they mentioned (who does that). For a room which costs over 14000 those should included. Also there was only one water bottle for the room of 4 people. And coffee, sugar and other stuff were well short for four people.

    Highly recommended. We visited the place day before yesterday and we enjoyed very well. Rooms are in really good conditions. The staff is very friendly and gave their service as their best. Pool is very Spacious when we consider other hotels and evening time is excellent.

    What a nice please! We really enjoyed it. Location was perfect! Good starting point to visit all the sights in Anuradhapura and Mihintale. With a tuk tuk your are pretty fast in the City Centre. The breakfast and diner was really good. We stayed there 3 nights with 2 young children and they loved it as well. the owner and staff members were really nice and helpful.

    Bathrooms are not fully covered. Therefore there is no privacy. Someone can get video of photograph their bathrooms. Specially shower area. and furniture in the rooms are not cleaned properly. Quality of Tea packets and milk powder packets provided in to the rooms are not good. The management try to get more profit by using low quality products.there is no alternative power supply system in the time of electricity cut down.

    The room, grounds and restaurant area were all dirty ... We found several cockroaches and a frog in our room too. Staff were unhelpful and couldn't tell who they were. Poor introduction to hotel - just given keys and no information about activities ect. Food was average and not fresh. The pool looked nice, but the water was murkey on closer inspection. Overall, would not recommend staying here.

  • 5/5 Lucia R. 2 years ago on Google
    We visited this place with a few tourists and it was the best start we could have in Sri Lanka. The place was so calm, beautiful with all the sounds arround. The owner was the friendliest person we met. Curry and kottu was so delicious. And the best part during the evening was to swim in the pool surrounding by stunning nature.

πŸ‘πŸ‘ The rooms were clean & comfortable, and the staff was amazing. Food was delicious. They went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. Located at a very close proximity to all the Anuradhapura historical sites. A place that I will visit again. Great value for money.
