"The hotel was quite nice; the owner of the courtyard had a charming atmosphere. The breakfast was also very good. There were many small animals—squirrels, several kinds of birds, and even a peacock, although it wasn't displaying its plumage, haha. You could see Sigiriya Rock."

"First, this hotel is in a very remote location, with nothing nearby, making it difficult to get around. Secondly, the hotel's design clearly shows a lot of effort, but it's not well maintained. We were moved four rooms in one day. Within 10 minutes of checking in, they told us there was a plumbing problem. After a long wait, they moved us to a different room type. After checking in, we still had no water. In the third room, large bugs kept dropping onto the bed and onto our bodies throughout the night, which was terrifying. We finally got our final room cleaned and changed after 10 PM. We finally got some sleep, but the next morning, the stationary hair dryer was broken again! We had our laundry done, and they told us we didn't need to iron it, only wash it. But when we checked out, they still charged us for the ironing! Luckily, my husband had texted them about our request via What's Up, and they were able to get rid of the extra charge. This completely delayed our plans for the better part of a day!"

Kassapa Lion's Rock ★★★★
"For the price, it's acceptable. But next time, for convenience, I'd prefer to go to Lion Rock, which is closer and offers better views."

Jetwing Lake ★★★★★
"This amazing hotel is a hidden gem. We got a great discounted price thru Trip.com and ended up adding dinner. The food was amazing, so much to choose from, and great quality. As a swimmer, I really appreciated the 72 metre pool (U kid you not)!"

Eden Grand ★★★
"The service attitude of the store is very good (it should be a store independently operated by the owner). After arriving at the store, I was given a glass of watermelon juice (free). There is a small terrace outside the room. The most abundant thing is breakfast. The photos and scenes on Ctrip have a relatively high degree of restoration."

Amaya Lake Dambulla ★★★★★
"It was such a wonderful hotel that I would like to stay there again. The grounds were spacious, with cottages surrounded by greenery, and there were monkeys and birds. It's along the lake, so the scenery is beautiful. The bathtub valve was broken so the hot water ran out quickly, the food took a long time to arrive, and there was not much variety in breakfast, but they prepared lunch boxes for us early in the morning when we asked, which was very helpful, and the staff at the front desk and in the restaurant were very kind. There was also a group of Japanese guests there."

Sigiriya Forest Edge By Marino Leisure ★★★★★
"I have to say, this hotel is one of the best hotels I have stayed in in Sri Lanka. It's only been open for 3 years, so everything is new. The hotel is in the form of a tree house, which is very unique, but there is no need to worry about safety issues. There are CCTVs everywhere in the hotel, and the hotel will ensure your safety. The hotel is very private, with only ten rooms in total, so it doesn't feel crowded or noisy at all, which is very suitable for vacation. The swimming pool is also very clean and the night view is beautiful. I would recommend this hotel to any friend who is going to Sri Lanka. Although it is not the most expensive hotel in my trip, it is the best and most impressive hotel. It’s really a treasure hotel~ I hope its business will get better and better^btw The breakfast is a set menu, which is delicious and rich~"

Sigiriya Kingdom Resort ★★★★
"I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Sigiriya Kingdom Resort. I made a confirmed booking at an agreed rate, but later—especially in the middle of the night—the hotel attempted to change the price. This is unacceptable and feels highly unprofessional. A confirmed booking should be honored, not altered under pressure. What made the situation worse was the lack of proper customer support. When I raised the issue, no clear explanation or reasonable solution was provided. Instead, my time was wasted with poor communication and no accountability from the staff. This kind of behavior damages trust and creates a very negative experience for guests. Transparency and honesty are basic expectations in hospitality, and unfortunately, this hotel failed in both. I strongly urge future guests to double-check all booking details and be cautious. I also hope the management takes this seriously and improves their customer service and ethical standards. And I'm traveling from almost 400 km away from their destination. Thats how they treated me. Disappointed and unacceptable"
