Heritance Kandalama
8.9 (298 reviews)

Heritance Kandalama ★★★★★

📍 Heritance Kandalama 11, Kandalama

"Beautiful resort. The decor in the rooms is a bit dated but authentic to the architect. Would like to see the rooms updated a bit but still 100% worth it and would stay here again as is."

Clodagh Manor House by Seven Angels
10 (13 reviews)

Clodagh Manor House by Seven Angels ★★★

📍 CLODAGH WESTERN Estate, Matale

"Clodagh Manor House is an absolute gem. Set within a stunning old estate, the property blends its beautifully restored colonial architecture with modern aesthetics in the perfect way — you feel the history, but you still get all the comfort. The whole stay was incredibly relaxing, and walking around the estate is honestly magical. Every old structure has a story, and it adds so much character to the experience. One of the biggest highlights was the food — truly outstanding, some of the best I’ve ever had. And the staff? Exceptional. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely accommodating. If you want a peaceful escape with charm, history, and next-level hospitality, this place delivers."

📍 Lot 16, Pihilla Mookalana, Katupotha, Kandalama

"The hotel service was excellent, the environment was beautiful, the pool was great, and the location was conveniently close to Dambulla and Sigiriya. The only drawback was that some facilities were a bit old. I would choose the hotel again next time."

8.9 (11 reviews)

Ayugiri Ayurveda Wellness Resort Sigiriya ★★★★

📍 Pothana, Kimbissa, Dambulla

"Great stay! Room was huge and very comfortable, the massage was great and the staff extremely kind, including Lakshan and Irshan. Restaurant’s food is very good; breakfast serving is a bit slower than the time agreed, just keep that in mind if you have a packed schedule. This is the only minor flaw, for the rest the resort is super recommended! Would come back anytime"

Flower Garden Eco Village Hotels in Matale

Flower Garden Eco Village

"The hotel is a bit off the main road, nestled in the jungle. It has a large, beautiful property with a decent restaurant that served tasty food. In the room, there's a concrete bed and concrete countertops, and the outlets are inconveniently located under the nightstands. Maybe the design was cool initially, but now it looks a bit tired. What I didn't like was the lack of soap (though they brought some when I asked), and the shower gel and shampoo bottles were already half-used. Also, the toilet seat didn't fit properly. The hotel staff, in general, were willing to help with any issues within their power."

Walawwa Matale Hotels in Matale

Walawwa Matale

"Issue when checking out (family tried to say we didn't pay, had some issue with trip.com - had to call the company to work out the dispute). Also we were awoken at 2am by the hosts randomly choosing to loudly play music outside out window. In addition, only one very thin sheet was given (not sufficient for the nighttime temperature)."

Organic Garden Resort Sigiriya Hotels in Matale

Organic Garden Resort Sigiriya

"We stayed here for 5 nights in a family room and it was amazing! The room was spacious and clean, breakfast was plentiful and delicious and the pool was perfect for a cooling swim after being out and about in the heat. The family who run the hotel are absolutely lovely, along with their staff, and we felt so welcomed and cared for. It is a central location for visiting the many sites and activities in the region (Sigiriya rock, Minneriya NP, Dambulla cave temples, Pollonaruwa, and more). Definitely recommend - we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again."

Heritance Kandalama ★★★★★
"Nestled amidst Sri Lanka's lush jungle landscape, Heritance Kandalama offers an unparalleled retreat that seamlessly integrates with its natural surroundings. From the moment we arrived, the reception staff provided a warm and professional welcome, setting the tone for an exceptional stay. The hotel's architectural design, a masterpiece by Geoffrey Bawa, is both innovative and environmentally conscious, blending modern luxury with the beauty of the natural environment. Our room featured panoramic views of the Kandalama Reservoir, allowing us to wake up to the serene sights and sounds of nature. The property boasts three distinct swimming pools, including an infinity pool that appears to merge with the lake, offering breathtaking vistas. Dining at Heritance Kandalama is a culinary delight. The Kanchana Restaurant offers an extensive buffet with a variety of Sri Lankan and international dishes, all while providing panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Throughout our stay, the staff consistently demonstrated attentiveness and professionalism, ensuring that every aspect of our visit was comfortable and memorable. Heritance Kandalama is more than just a hotel; it's an experience that celebrates the harmony between luxury and nature."

Clodagh Manor House by Seven Angels ★★★
"One of those rare hotels that stay with you long after you leave. A colonial beauty that truly takes your breath away. The staff are a delight, the rooms are spotlessly clean and elegant. But it is the food that is truly superb. The chef is such a credit to the property and our evening meal at Clodagh was the highlight of our trip to Sri Lanka. Stunning views and an ambiance that takes you back in time. Thank you Clodagh for the most magical stay."

Kalundewa Retreat ★★★★★
"We stayed at this lovely oasis of nature for a couple of nights in their floating villa. It was a magical experience afloat on a lagoon colored by water hyacinths and the birdsong at dawn and dusk was uplifting. Dinner on the houseboat was a delightful experience. The staff were polite and eager to help and the meals delicious. A haven where you felt at peace with the proximity of nature. There are only a dozen rooms in this hundred acre estate, so nature and the cultivation of rice is unperturbed. A great place to relax and watch birdlife."

Aliya Resort and Spa - Thema Collection ★★★★★
"Beautiful hotel with a view of Lion Rock. If you don’t like the smell of wood, it is recommended to live in an ordinary small flat-floor house. It is recommended to live on the second floor, which is quieter and free of mosquitoes."
