"Nice Villa. Huge room. This hotel is on the edge of the jungle but still provided good accommodation. Lovely Sri Lankan food. Only thing lacking was a fridge in the room. Overall very good. "
"This property is outstanding. We stayed in the deluxe suite with our family of four for four nights in total. The kids loved every minute of our stay. The food, the staff, in particular our butler “Asanka” who was the most attentive, caring, polite and just all round wonderful person. Asanka made our stay so enjoyable and we thoroughly enjoyed getting to know him. The chefs were also so friendly and helpful and we also enjoyed our chats with them at each meal time, they also spoilt the kids with...
"We had three nights here. The temperature during the day was very hot and humid, as were the nights. Hibiscus villa has air conditioning and a fridge, which helped to make our stay comfortable. Service is very helpful. We needed a car and driver and this was arranged for us at short notice. Better to give a few days notice. Breakfast on the patio, surrounded by fruit trees and other plants was nice. Room is basic, but comfortable. If you choose to stay here you will be well looked after. "
"Really loved the garden setting of this property. The evening live background music was also superb. We found Shushani on the front desk extremely pleasant to deal with and she was always concerned about our comfort.
As well Ruwan from the dining room gave us excellent and attentive service.
These two individuals made us feel very comfortable.
The room was always cleaned very nicely and was very comfortable. The bathroom even though it had all the necessary ammenities just might need to be...

"Words cannot describe how incredible our stay here was. The entire property was spacious and the room was well maintained. There were plenty of amenities that enhanced our stay, such as usable bikes, pool, hot tubs, table tennis, etc. Employees were very amicable as well. Highly recommend. "
"The garden around the property was tranquil. It was a lovely, peaceful area to relax in.
Breakfast was delicious with lots of choice.
The host and his family couldn't have been kinder or more helpful. They made our stay a real pleasure."
"This is a beautiful property with spacious rooms that make you feel like you are living in a lush green space. Clean rooms, nice space to work, comfortable bed. The only small complaint I have is the internet was a little slow, video calls for work were blurry, but it worked! Breakfast buffet was really good with lots of options. Bar was pretty pricy but it was nice. The pool was also a welcome amenity after hiking. Would definitely recommend. "
"Great hotel in a beautiful location. We only stayed one night, but could have stayed longer. The pools looked fantastic and well cleaned. We had an excellent meal, and then played pool on the table next to the bar! The hotel is trying hard to be eco, and we had a very interesting bathroom surrounded by plants in the shower, and an open air roof - covered by mesh to stop anything nasty getting in! We watched a fantastic sunset whilst drinking cocktails. Very memorable. Staff were lovely."
