"Beautiful setting. I was a bit confused about advertised lake who is actually not on the property and holds little for guests. Pool area was wonderful very quiet with trees and birds. Heinz was most helpful in sugges outings and arranging driver. A few niggles: Breakfasts like all in Sri Lanka could use some tweaking with toast presented first to go cold and items not offered but available such as tomatoes or bacon: readily provided when requested. Spider life is rampant so staff could pay more...

"Stayed 1 night in August. Very nice, small hotel with a peaceful, quiet atmosphere in a great convenient location. On our arrival the staff was very accommodating and prepared curry for dinner for 2 of us- it was delicious, we appreciated the gesture! Our room was large with both A/C and a ceiling fan, and very clean. The pool was amazing after a day of exploring, and breakfast was very tasty. Would recommend for a relaxing stop."

Top Kandalama Hotel Reviews

Flower Garden Eco Village

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely stay here, friendly staff, amazing pool and pool chairs. Stayed another day as it was so relaxing. Good wi fi. Cool pet dogs."

Heritance Kandalama

10/10 Excellent

"Unique experience! 10/10! You can’t find anything like it around the world."

The Otunna Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"This is a fantastic place to stay. The people are exceptionally warm and friendly, the food is incredible, clean and they are ethically and ecological mindful."

Amaya Lake Dambulla

10/10 Excellent

"Everything is perfect thanks"

Sigiriya Jungles

10/10 Excellent

"The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The buffet was incredible. Our room was amazing and it really felt like we were in a jungle with a tree in the bathroom. Everyone genuinely wanted us to feel welcomed."

AARA Wild Sigiriya

10/10 Excellent

"Aara Wild near Sigiriya was the highlight of our whole Sri Lanka trip. From arrival, the warmth of the welcome set the tone – every member of staff, from housekeeping to guides to the kitchen team, was genuinely, unfailingly lovely. It’s rare to feel so looked after and so at ease at once. The activities were fantastic and varied: a sunset walk with incredible views, a relaxed afternoon tea, a chef’s dinner served poolside under the stars, and a hands-on cooking class. Each felt personal rather than a standard “resort activity.” We travelled with our two young children, and the way the team engaged with them was special – patient, warm and encouraging, and our kids left having formed real bonds with staff. Our 5 year old was in tears when we had to leave, and honestly I was close!! The wildlife was extraordinary right on the doorstep – elephants, lizards, eagles, even a water snake, all without going far. The biodiversity made every walk feel like a small safari. The natural pool was a wonderful centrepiece, and having a private pool at our room too meant we always had the choice of a sociable swim or quiet family time. And the food was genuinely fabulous throughout. Chef was brilliant and we feel ready to have a go at home with all his top tips! If I had to sum it up: Aara Wild isn’t just a beautiful place, it’s full of beautiful people. We’d go back in a heartbeat. Please book Aara!"

Hotel Sigiriya

8/10 Good

"We had a great stay at Hotel Sigiriya! The views of Sigiriya Rock were beautiful, and we really enjoyed the breakfast. Our room was on the smaller side, but it was comfortable enough for our stay. The pool looked lovely as well, although unfortunately we didn’t get a chance to use it. There were two disappointments during our stay. First, before arriving, I contacted the hotel management to request a simple birthday surprise—a decorated room with a “Happy Birthday” message and a small cake. The hotel acknowledged the request, and I even noticed it written in the corner of our check-in paperwork. Unfortunately, the request was overlooked and the surprise never happened. It was a missed opportunity to make an already wonderful stay truly special. Hopefully, they can follow through next time! The second disappointment was on our second day. The cleaning staff made an elephant out of towels and placed it on our bed. When we dismantled it to use the towels, we realized that they appeared to be our previously used towels. We found this quite concerning and unsanitary, especially since used towels had been arranged and placed directly on the bed. Despite these issues, we had a lovely overall stay, enjoyed the beautiful surroundings, and appreciated the friendly service. With a little more attention to these details, the hotel could make the experience truly exceptional. We would consider staying again and hope for an even better experience next time."

Ayugiri Ayurveda Wellness Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were excellent and made every effort to make our stay comfortable. Food was fresh and delicious. We recommend keeping the spa open till later in the day although we note the concern about wild elephants and safety. Overall a great place and we would love to come back"

Eden Grand

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast and customer service was amazing"
