We booked this hotel well in advance and were really looking forward to our stay, encouraged by the great reviews and beautiful photos. Unfortunately, just one day before our arrival, when we were already on our way, we received a phone call informing us that the hotel had been flooded and they couldn't accommodate us. This happened during peak season, a time when finding acceptable last-minute alternative accommodation is nearly impossible. Curiously, the hotel pressured us to cancel the reservation ourselves, which would conveniently relieve them of any responsibility. They provided no photos or proof of the damage. We asked a friend of ours from Sri Lanka to call the hotel discreetly to ask about the situation. Unsurprisingly, there was no leak or flooding at all. We suspect that because we booked so far in advance, our rate was too low, and they decided to resell our room at a much higher price during the high demand. The hotel will likely reply to this review with some nonsense excuses, but after digging deeper into other reviews, I found out this isn't an isolated incident, but a regular practice of theirs. DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE PRETTY PHOTOS. IF YOU WANT TO AVOID UNPLEASANT SURPRISES AND HAVING TO FIND LAST-MINUTE ACCOMMODATION, AVOID THIS HOTEL AT ALL COSTS!!!!

Die Fotos lügen nicht! Es war alles wie erwartet, sehr zuvorkommende Angestellte und Manager! Das Frühstück war frisch, gesund und mehr als ausreichend! Abends wurden wir auf Wunsch ins nächste Restaurant gebracht und abgeholt, das Abendessen im Hotel selbst war (auf Wunsch) Vegetarisch, frisch zubereitetes Rice and Curry, eine anständige Menge! Abends ließen wir uns von den ansässigen Fröschen in den Schlaf singen. Direkt neben unserem Zimmer waren Pfauen zu sehen und zu hören. Die Poolanlage war sauber und gepflegt und das Bier kühl.
Wir hatten eine Ganztages Safari gebucht mit Verpflegung, über das Hotel wesentlich günstiger als bei Onlineanbietern. Unser Guide hat uns pünktlich abgeholt und war sehr bemüht unsere Wünsche zu erfüllen. Wir konnten Leoparden und Elefanten sehen und noch so viel mehr dank dem Guide namens Upendara. Wir hatten ein hervorragendes Mittagessen, sehr authentisch da es seine Ehefrau zubereitet hat.
Ich würde es genau so wieder tun!

We loved our stay here. The room was really clean and spacious. The pool area was so nice and relaxing. The food was good and the staff were really friendly and attentive. They helped us with everything. We had a full day safari and they provided us with a takeaway breakfast, that lasted all morning. It’s a really lovely, relaxing and calm place to stay- there were other people there but we hardly saw them and felt like we were the only ones there! Loved it.

July 26; I have added an edit in July 2026 because I’ve returned to the hotel for a second time. The only is this a wonderful Hotel with the best host, Niroshan, But the best view and Home comfort you could ask for.
As I mentioned previously, Nieoshan Could not do enough for us. He booked us another Safari with the same fabulous company and guide; took us to another wonderful restaurant on the seafront; and went out of his way to find a much needed Item for a local charity, we are working at on his day off. We were also treated to a visit to a local primary school that had almost finished refurbishing it its new premises. This authentic experience really was An insight into the day in the life of Sri La Lankan od pre-school students and the Work the teachers and the Assistants do on a day-to-day basis.
On the Safari, we were lucky to have a very experienced guide who had taken guests to Yala for the last 30 years. We were lucky to see three leopards lots of elephants, some of which were babies bathing in the local Lily ponds And lots of other animals and birds.
July 25 The hotel is built around the rocks to preserve its fantastic heritage.The hotel is beautiful with fantastic pool, which is much needed after a day in the SL heat.
The hotel manager is a true Sri Lankan gent. He is attentive, kind and is always willing to help. He organised our 2 safaris, with a local company - one afternoon and another in the morning. A packed breakfast was waiting for us at 5:15am. On our last evening he offered to show us around the local villages, paddy fields and took us to the most beautiful beach- only known by the locals - here you can swim safely. It was paradise. We chatted over a beer and he generously recommended a few more places to visit as we head off to explore more of this beautiful island.
This place is a must

Beautiful property with only 3 rooms and a beautiful pool. Full of warmth. Spotless, very comfortable rooms with lovely balconies. The food is also good. The staff is incredibly sweet and helpful. And it is quite close to the national park. Very highly recommended!

We had a fantastic stay at this villa from 1st to 5th July. The villa was beautiful, spotless, and exceptionally well maintained, with a peaceful atmosphere that made it the perfect place to unwind. A special thank you to Niroshan, the manager, for his outstanding hospitality. He was friendly, professional, and always available to assist with anything we needed, making sure our stay was comfortable from start to finish. His attention to detail and genuine care for guests truly made a difference. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend this villa to anyone visiting Sri Lanka. We look forward to returning in the future!

A very quiet and peaceful place with a relaxing atmosphere. The manager, Niroshan, is incredibly kind and welcoming, and the waiter provided wonderful service throughout our visit. We truly loved this place and had a great experience. Highly recommended, and we’ll definitely be coming back soon!
