"Such a beautiful and special place. Just be aware that it’s a bit rustic and because it’s close to the swamp, there are a lot of insects at night. But if you stay inside and don’t mind roughing it a bit, this place is such a great experience and unmatched views and environment. Amazing owner and staff, always so eager to please. Even cooked us a fabulous dinner!"

"The family that run the accomodation were very nice people. Very helpful & accomodating. The breakfast was probably the best breakfast I’ve eaten in Sri Lanka. The string hoppers & potato curry were fantastic. The pool was quite handy in front of our room, especially after a humid day. I would stay here again for sure."

10/10 Excellent
"This is a large hotel and there did seem to be a couple of large groups staying there but this did not detract from our experience. Nice rooms with everything you could need, water readily provided. The pool is ok but the selling point for it is the fantastic view of Lions Rock. We ate in the restaurant on the first night and the buffet had a good selection of food to suit all palates. Breakfast was excellent, you can choose Sri Lankan or more western options. Plenty of choice. Overall I would definitely recommend this hotel."

"Had a wonderful time here! The rooms and premises are nothing fancy but it is exactly what you need in terms of a clean room a friendly owner. A lovely breakfast is served in the morning and it backs on to land where wildlife tend to run around freely (my favourite were the peacocks). The owner is very lovely and helpful and it was absolute pleasure to meet him. All in all, would highly recommend!"
