The hotel manager was extremely rude and aggressive and was trying to rip us off. He wanted to charge us 30 percent to pay for our room by credit card! Lunch also very expensive with a lack of variety on offer. Hotel location is very poor and facilities are a let down. Overall very poor service, the worst experience we had in Sri Lanka.

Road to get to the hotel is completely broken which makes a simple outing a nightmare . Food and drinks are ultra expensive and charge a 30 percent premium for credit card usage. Rooms are nothing like the pictures , this place is trap and will ruin your holiday. The manager is very rude and hostile. Unfortunately there is no option for zero stars

Very beautifully designed hotel, calm vibe, great vegetarian food, and mostly very friendly staff - though some things to look out for. You are sleeping in the middle of a jungle with the bungalows having no real walls, but rather view protection. So expect some nature in your room, but as they have mosquito nets over the bed it is manageable. Waking up in the middle of nature is amazing. Food was great, the cook was an angel! For our three night stay they ‚offered‘ us to move to another hotel. Though the alternative hotel was nice as well, it left a bit of a negative impression due to the need to move twice and it felt more like they were overbooked rather than them making an actual offer.

Awful experience, for an overpriced hotel. We initially booked and paid in advance for 3 nights. But we decided to leave after our experience on the first night... 1. We booked 2 massages at dawn on arrival to the property and they took us to an open room full of bugs and mosquitoes. With no set up to prevent bites, no candles, no mosquito net, not even towels to cover you while you were completely naked been eaten alive by mosquitoes. Reply from management: This is the jungle, due to structure of the spa we cannot add anything to prevent you from getting bit. 2. 25$ per person for a very small dinner with apparently "all inclusive" drinks. The dinner included a tiny salad, some greens and 2 pieces of chicken. Yes thats correct 2. Completely overpriced for the quantity. 3. The room: Completely damp. Wet Rugs, damp sheets, damp chair cushions, sheets eaten by animals, water coming in to the room from everywhere. Dirty glasses in the toilet. Unsafe shower, where you could fall as everything was slippery. Absolutely full of insects and mosquitoes everywhere due to rainy season. Reply from the manager of the hotel: "Well this is the jungle, of course there are insects you should know this before booking.. " A few weeks before booking the property, we had it confirmed with management that "measures were in place to avoid mosquitoes and bugs". All a lie. Just a mosquito net on a completely open room. An animal overnight came into our room and destroyed a fabric bag when we were told no animals go in the rooms. No space for leaving bags or belongings secured from animals, and again no one told us this could happen. They don't provide any umbrellas & everywhere is full of mud. So you are constantly wet and in an unhealthy environment. 4. The management: completely unprofessional and not caring for any of these points we brought up with them. Almost making fun of the issue, "we are in the jungle". After being kept for 3 hours waiting for a transfer out when we decided to leave, manager had the nerve to finally accept, that the room they gave us, is not a good room, and they've had complaints before. NEVER he apologised, not a single sorry. Not a single proactive measure: "I will fix it". Overpriced transfers (they wanted $120 for a transfer we manage to get for $70 for the same journey). Absolute shame as the architecture and look of the hotel is beautiful, but the bad finishes and greedy management makes the place not worth a visit. Such pretentious and dishonest places must stop existing.

The Kaju green eco lodge is an amazing place to stay. The bungalows/huts we stayed were amazing and upgraded with good interior design and usability, they thought all of the details from hairdryer to mosquito net. The staff was extraordinary, welcoming, warm, helpful. They arrange your shuttles from airport, tuktuks to beach, they are punctual in all reservations. Yoga classes were great applicable for everyone from beginner to advanced. Loved the place! Highly recommended!!!

I think first of all the wild nature - birds singin, squirrels and I saw big black monkey. And secondary - good service, very instagramy breakfast, and beautiful room and pool I think it was the best place for me for plane my year and calm down

Beautiful cosy hotel in the middle of the jungle! It’s an amazing place to be to restore and replenish. The staff is very friendly and the bungalows very comfortable.

Had the BEST time at Kaju Green. It’s a real gem in the jungle not far from surrounding beaches to which a free tuk tuk is being provided. Staff was very friendly and forthcoming providing a very relaxing holiday atmosphere. Much attention to detail in the rooms and with the food that is home cooked. Highly recommend this hotel to everyone that looks for an authentic place to relax (certainly no party place) and enjoy the beauty of nature.

Amazing place, staff, management, concept and food. Everyone cared about our comfort. Best activities. Morning yoga, kayaking thru the channel, diverse animals and birds in the yard. Overall it is worth it 100%!!!

It’s a hidden gem. Very peaceful place in the jungle.staff very helpful. The food was amazing. Different and nice concept. Who loves nature and relaxation go there and spend even a little time. It will be an unforgettable experience.

Kaju Green is one of a kind and I am so happy I found it. I stayed with my best friend for only 5 days and left fulfilled, rejuvenated, content and completely full. I personally can't rave about this place enough.

When in Sri Lanka, its a must to stay here. Been amazed by the concept and the hospitality here. We stayed at premium lodge which was an amazing experience! Sleeping with the nature sounds, it was one of my dreams!

A very tranquil, pleasant stay experience in the jungles near Galle. Rooms were nicely appointed on very lush grounds with a nice pool and waterway for canoeing

Kaju Green is one of a kind and I am so happy I found it. I stayed with my best friend for only 5 days and left fulfilled, rejuvenated, content and completely full. I personally can't rave about this place enough. The location firstly is absolutely perfect for so many reasons. It's not too far from the airport - around 1.5-2 hours roughly. For tourists and sightseeing there are a variety of things to do too which is perfect - it's very nearly located to some of the must do things to do in Sri Lanka (Turtle Beach for example and the Gal) The staff are so friendly, welcoming and hospitable. They treat you like family and regularly check in. They make everything easy - transfers from the beach, breakfast, lunch, dinner, yoga, massages, tuk tuks - literally anything you need they are there and ready to help. Particular thank you to Rowan for being so accommodating through out the entire trip and the kitchen staff for being so personable every day. The accommodation itself is completely breathtaking. Located in the middle of the jungle you are really in the heart of nature. Birds singing all day, lizards roaming the land, the famous monkey jumping in the tree - it's heavenly for nature lovers and those who appreciate reconnecting to nature and being in it. At night it is a bit noisy due to the variety of nature and being in the jungle but they provide you with ear plugs for those that need. We thoroughly enjoyed the food. Very clean meals and freshly prepared. Usually came cold but was lovely and after 5 days of eating only at the hotel for the entire 5 days breakfast lunch and dinner my body is feeling amazing and rejuvenated. The rooms are spacious and well equipped with all you need. Although very open the accommodation always felt extremely safe and very well kept and looked after. The swimming pool is natural salt water and absolutely to die for. We had treatments at Kaju Green too, which, again, I would recommend. We had a facial and full body massage and the facial was particularly wonderful with the lovely lady there. She was special, gentle, considerate, professional and truly magic. We also did the yoga with Nadeesh daily which I have to say is one of best yoga teachers I have ever had (and I am a fitness instructor myself and have been to many yoga class) he is incredible. You can kayak/canoe on the premises too to explore the wonderful lake and nature around which was also a huge highlight. Again I can't rave about Kaju Green enough. I will 100% being going back. It was a magical 5 days I will never forget. Thank you Kaju Green you are all absolutely amazing.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel and I must say, it was a truly wonderful experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and comfortable. The room was immaculate, with all the amenities I needed for a luxurious stay. The hotel's location was perfect, with stunning views and easy access to local attractions. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a truly exceptional stay, and I can't wait to come back for another visit in the future.

I loved the indoor-outdoor living concept of the hotel, the architecture is beautiful, the food is really good and the overall atmosphere is calming. I loved waking up to the sounds of the birds around me. The highlight for me was the polite staff on the premises who do everything to make your stay hassle free.

The rooms are really authentic and comfortable. The grounds are beautiful, natural. Wildlife everywhere, it’s truly an experience that I would recommend to anyone! They provide mosquito repellent which is definitely needed. Kayaks to explore the surrounding mangroves, complimentary. One free round trip transportation to the beach and back

Definitely one of our favourite places to stay in southern Sri Lanka. Very beautiful (the decoration is made with an impeccable taste), very relaxing and the feeling to be fully immersed in nature. My recommendation : make sure this is in line with what you expect. If you expect TV, AC and a restaurant with a wide menu, or if direct contact with nature puts you off (animal sounds, squirrels, friendly bugs), then you would probably be better off in a more classic luxury hotel. Otherwise, definitely a great place to stay. Only downside: the meals are pricey given the limited choice, but the quality is good. But apart from this, we have only good things to say. The staff is very friendly, and did their best to make our stay very comfortable (they event sent us some items we had forgotten, in Europe!). The yoga classes in the morning are great, the location is close enough, the premises are really beautiful. I would (and probably will) go again

When in Sri Lanka, its a must to stay here. Been amazed by the concept and the hospitality here. We stayed at premium lodge which was an amazing experience! Sleeping with the nature sounds, it was one of my dreams!

We had an amazing stay at Kaju Green. From the wonderful and welcoming staff, to the delicious food, the amazing location! Just perfect, we will be definitely coming back again. Thank you so much for the impeccable hospitality.

The Kaju green eco lodge is an amazing place to stay.

This is our first time staying at Kaju Green and it is honestly one of the best experiences we’ve had! The staff are so friendly and welcoming. The food is so delicious. It’s all vegetarian, I’m not a vegetarian but I really enjoy it. The rooms are really authentic and comfortable. The grounds are beautiful, natural. Wildlife everywhere, it’s truly an experience that I would recommend to anyone! They provide mosquito repellent which is definitely needed. Kayaks to explore the surrounding mangroves, complimentary. One free round trip transportation to the beach and back. And did I mention the food? Authentic Sri Lankan cuisine, fresh, absolutely perfect! Easily a 5 star green Eco experience!

Absolutely magic place 😍 You can feel and hear the jungle ! Bungalows are cozy and staylish that you even don’t want to leave the bed ;-) Swimming pool is absolutely amazing and water very clean. What is worth to mention, that in this place I had the best massage! Beautiful place with very helpful manager. For sure I will come back to this little paradise 🤍

Great experience and stay with Rowan and the team at Kaju. We loved the breakfast every morning with all the fresh fruit and local cuisine. Sri Lanka's people are some of the friendliest every and always happy to help. We were unluckily with our timing (6-10 October) as the prayers from the mosque kept us awake due to the rooms being open air. I would have like a softer pillow and bedding but that's just my preference.

A very tranquil, pleasant stay experience in the jungles near Galle. Rooms were nicely appointed on very lush grounds with a nice pool and waterway for canoeing. Breakfast and dining options are excellent, although for lunch / dinner - likely overpriced. Some requests to the grounds manager were forgotten or delivered late which hampered the experience somewhat. Please keep in mind per other reviews - this is nearly glorified camping as you are in very open lodges on a creek which naturally breeds mosquitos. Even the mosquito nets and provided repellant is insufficient - you will be bitten a lot. Nice to spend time amongst nature and see a variety of animals, however you pay a price for this in reduced comfort and convenience. No A/C is too hot even for October, even with the fan on maximum force. Very difficult for washing or swimwear to dry. Recommended stay if you are prepared to sacrifice comfort significantly for a very aesthetic and beautiful stay, if you’re after a more conventional stay - look elsewhere.

5 stars aren't enough: we booked there for the beautiful architecture, but we'll come back for the surroundings... and the staff. The place is lost in the jungle near Unawatuna, has wonderfully designed eco-lodges and nature-compatible buildings. It took me a few hours to adapt to the place as I'm not used to sleeping so close to nature, with its noises...and mosquitoes. For these little biting devils, Kaju Green provides everyone with an efficient repellent and nets overs the bed. All in all, we have had a wonderful stay. The staff has been super helpful any time we needed anything, and even gifted us little bowls. Special kudos to Eugene who arranged a Tuk tuk to send us our laptops... that we had forgotten after checking out. I definitely recommend the place, and cannot wait to go back there!

A friend recommended me Kaju Green and I couldn’t have been happier. It’s so calm here - the rooms are in a beautiful garden with birds, squirrels, the odd monkey and (of course) jungle insects. It is immaculately kept by the lovely staff, who are seemingly on hand all day to tidy, cook food and help guests. The pool is great. The surrounding lake is great fun to kayak on. I went for a 3 hour bike ride along nearby paddy fields too which I loved. The road to Kaju Green is pretty rural - you wouldn’t be advised to walk it as it’s probably a mile to the nearest road, but I cycled it in the day and it was fine. Tuktuk’s are easy to get to and from the property - I came back at midnight one night and had no issues. Loved my stay here and would definitely recommend if you’re after a bit of calm away from the bustle of the main towns nearby.

I loved the indoor-outdoor living concept of the hotel, the architecture is beautiful, the food is really good and the overall atmosphere is calming. I loved waking up to the sounds of the birds around me. The highlight for me was the polite staff on the premises who do everything to make your stay hassle free. The WiFi isn’t good so if you’re working on vacation, carry a WiFi hotspot.

The grounds of the hotel are very well-kept. The style is minimalist, but very comfortable. Something that really surprised us was the absence of real separation between outdoors and indoors. The rooms have mosquito nets and they provide their own mosquito repellant. All the staff was really kind and helpful. The food is vegetarian, though it was not always clear which options were vegan. Overall, it was a very relaxing, tranquil and beautiful setting.

Just had a nice time in kaju green and its team! if you seek for nature and quietness definitely is the right place for you. Food is vegetarian and light, tuk tuk always available, many nice places to see around the area. It was a great scape from hectic life!

The location is stunning, and perfectly designed, and this combined with the staff and atmosphere simply screams serenity, relaxation and peace. This place is exactly how you imagine/picture a retreat to be. The lodges are authentic, rustic, but beautifully designed. The food is great, and the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. This was our last stop on a three week trip through Sri Lanka, and although we didn't think it was possible, we left more relaxed than when we arrived. Definitely not a negative, but it did surprise us a little bit to find that the walls of the lodges are like a mesh type of design, but there are no walls or windows at the top of the lodges, so it is completely open. By this point, we were a little more custom to the bugs etc in Sri Lanka, so we got used to it, but just worth noting if you plan to stay here.
