Book a Kandalama Resort

"Nice location and a clean place to stay. But if you are planning on walking to the ancient city of Sigiriya it’s a 30 min walk from the hotel. Not a 1 min walk as advertised. The service was good but the food was at best average, specially dinner “À la carte”. Breakfast buffet had a lot of variety which was good but the food was average. Good for a short stay."

"Very expensive stay for not much facilities. Staff barely able to understand requests. No timely answers for queries before we arrived at the property. Staff do not go out of the way to make your experience pleasant at all. Breakfast was below average. For the expensive pricing, you would expect a better spread, but no. Cleanliness of property is also below average when you compare with similar properties in the price range."

"As usual the hotel and staff were excellent. "

"Could improve on driver accommodation "

"Friendly staff, nice garden. Bruno the boxer is a perfect welcoming dog. Squirrels in the garden for breakfast "

"We had an absolute great time, i must say the level of customer service was excellent and 5 star, ranging from oir porters, to front desk to the ladies and gents who served us and worked in the restaurant!! Well done!! We shall be back again, beautiful relaxing location as well!!"

"Relaxing location, well maintained and friendly staff, what more could you ask for?"

"Lovely view and pool Wish I had more time there!"

"Beautiful, one of the most pleasant and peaceful accommodations I’ve ever stayed in."

"Really good size room for family of 6, breakfast and drivers accomodation available also"

"The staff were excellent and extraordinary welcoming. We are an elderly couple and the staff took care of us like we were their own children. The chief went out of his way to ask me what food I liked and cooked it especially just to make us feel welcome. That was not necessary but the warmth of the team made our holiday excellent. So clean and wonderful. "

"I stayed here 10 years ago and it was wonderful. The “bones” are great but “cracks” are appearing. The rooms are generous and the property and vistas are beautiful. The property, rooms and facilities are beginning to look a little tired and the staff are struggling. The swimming pool and spa are a long way away but there used to be buggies to pick you up especially during the heat of the day. Phones not working so room service was difficult. There was a ridiculously high corkage charge on some...

"Needed a hotel in the Polonnaruwa area so we could tour the ruins in the early part of the morning but also wanted to have a swimming pool to cool off in after the tour & here fitted the request for both . Fairly new , large sized rooms with large bed , separate sitting area with tea & coffee making facilities , downside was no inroom fridge nor closet and free wifi but only will work in lobby or restaurant .The restaurant does a buffet if many people staying or a la carte other times at...

"This is a beautiful and tranquil place to stay. The rooms are excellent, the food wonderful, the staff incredibly accommodating and the natural habitat in which the Other Corner is situated forms perfect backdrop gor wildlife including a birds. The resident wildlife and naturalist Dhilip is a fount of knowledge and made the stay even better. The organic garden and lake are also a bonus. The Other Corner makes an excelllent base for touring the national parks, ancient cities and Sigiriya."

"This was the worst place we stayed on our trip in Sri Lanka and probably the worst on my travels around Asia. The service was lousy at all points (meals served without cutlery, wrong food delivered, bland over salted food), the room was filthy and completely worn (filthy bathroom, torn curtains, stained towels, insects running around, stained pillows, dead bugs on spare pillows). We had them arrange travel and then put through a call to me from the taxi company when we asked to change car (it...

"Beautiful, secluded, and rustic. Open air treehouses are a great way to commune with nature!"

"The staff and management is very friendly and helpful. The rooms were subpar but clean enough. No aircon which was fine but no hot water either. The showers were non functional and no buckets were provided till requested. The property is isolated and tough to find. However for the price and for someone seeking a secluded no frills stay with kind and helpful staff I recommend the hotel."
