"When I arrived at the property, despite me canceling my previous reservation, they were confused as they saw two reservations, and even after me showing that I had canceled it, they still gave me a hard time. They should have better communication with the booking agency so that this does not happen to someone else in future. The room was OK but nothing spectacular. Definitely not a five star hotel by any means ."

"The resort is set back from a busy road in a fabulous nature setting. Beware that 20 out of the 26 "rooms" are tents and only 6 are solid built cottages. If you want a glamping style close to nature experience then the tents are fabulous. If you want to have more privacy go for the cottages, which are very large and beautiful. Staff was extremely helpful. As we were few people breakfast and dinner options were limited but very tasty. Excellent option for a luxury stay in thw dambulla triangle."

"Séjour d une nuit très agréable, avec un très bon petit déjeuner pour le SL. La piscine au milieu des arbres est très sympa, surtout pr les enfants… chambre au top propre et bien aménagé. Bonne ambiance lounge le soir même si la musique un peu forte. À améliorer : le Check in où il n y avait personne à l arrivée, et comme notre chambre était pas prete, nous avons dû revenir et toujours personne donc un peu d attente. La lenteur et la qualité des plats du restaurant. "

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Madawala?
The best area to stay in Madawala is the village centre, particularly around the main road (Kandy-Madawala-Bambarella Road) for convenient access to amenities and local life.

This area is the heart of Madawala, offering a genuine glimpse into local Sri Lankan culture. You'll find a selection of local shops, eateries, and the main mosque, providing a hub of daily activity. It's a compact area, making it easy to navigate on foot.

For travellers looking for an authentic cultural experience, staying near the village centre is ideal. You'll be close to local markets and community life, offering a chance to interact with residents and experience the local pace.

Couples seeking a tranquil retreat might prefer accommodations slightly outside the immediate village centre but still within easy reach.
When is the best time to go to Madawala?
The best time to visit Madawala is during the dry season, which runs from December to March.

During these months, you'll experience pleasant weather with less rainfall and plenty of sunshine, making it ideal for exploring the region's natural beauty and cultural sites. The temperatures are generally comfortable, superb for outdoor activities like visiting the nearby Knuckles Mountain Range or exploring the tea plantations.

This period is particularly good for families looking for comfortable conditions for sightseeing and outdoor excursions without the disruption of heavy rains. The clear skies also offer excellent opportunities for photography.
