It was peaceful, well-maintained, and the perfect place to relax. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful getaway.

This place is heaven. Such a beautiful location. The staff were all incredible. They were all so accommodating and made us feel so welcome. Food was the best we had in our two week stay in Sri Lanka. A must stay if you are going to Belihuloya.

Exceptional place. Idyllic setting. Stylish spaces and rooms, maximising natural experience. Right next to beautiful stream, lovely for swimming.

It is a bit of an effort to get to.

I have some favourite properties around the world that stay in the memory after you leave, they all have something in common with Glenrock though. Accommodation set within a beautiful natural environment that offers peace and tranquility without the big hotel feel. There are also great dining options and nothing is too much trouble to ensure you have a memorable stay. After twelve days exploring the culture and nature of north and central Sri Lanka this was a perfect place to wind down before heading to the hustle and bustle of the south coast for my final week. The property was recommended by fellow travellers shortly after I arrived in Sri Lanka and I honestly can’t thank them enough. As with the other properties I mentioned (Glen Oaks, Big Sur CA / Pumphouse Point, Tasmania / Milia Mountain Retreat, Crete) I will do everything in my power to return.

I had to leave…

Remote location allows for a feeling of having escaped from normal holiday trail. Surrounded by trees with a fabulous outlook in all directions. Staff couldn’t be more helpful. Loved the personal approach rather than corporate systems.

Can’t think of anything.

Alles Top Wer es nicht mag mitten in der Natur zu sein und dauernd das Rauschen eines Bergbaches zu hören, sollte hier einfach nicht buchen.

Secluded in the middle of nowhere

Super chef, restauration top; merci pour le surclassement

Posto incredibile immerso nella natura con tutti i confort e la qualità di un 5 stelle. Staff molto professionale ed attento ad ogni tua esigenza. Ottimo il ristorante e la prima colazione.

酒店环境非常赞，员工更赞，餐也很好！

This is a unique place to stay, high up in the mountains and away from mass tourism. It is designed in a very rustic style which blends seamlessly with the surroundings. All members of staff were absolutely charming and couldn't have done more to make our stay extra special. Both rooms we stayed in were lovely but be prepared for a more rustic environment. Our guided tour to the nearby waterfall was a real highlight, with such personal and caring attention as we scrambled over rocks to the beautiful pool. We strongly recommend Glenrock.

Nothing.

Uitstekende en leuke excursies naar highlights in de buurt, Prachtige natuur. Rust.

Nos gustó TODO. El lugar es increíble, en medio de la jungla, al lado de un río donde te puedes bañar. Como no estaba lleno, nos enseñaron nuestra habitación y otra superior para que eligiéramos la que queríamos. Creo que no nos equivocamos porque las vistas desde la habitación eran impresionantes. La habitación muy amplia y muy cómoda. El baño muy grande con un jacuzzi con vistas a las montañas. No se puede pedir más... pero lo había. Nos quedamos sobre todo con el trato recibido por todos los trabajadores del resort. Desde antes de llegar ya te están contactando para ayudarte. Nosotros llegamos en nuestro tuk tuk y nos ayudaron a llegar hasta allí. Una vez allí se desviven para que tu experiencia sea inolvidable. Y vaya si lo consiguieron!! Son todos muy profesionales y cercanos y se desviven por hacer todo lo que esta en su mano para que te sientas a gusto. Cenamos y desayunamos allí. La comida es increíble. El restaurante es un 10! No pudimos tener una experiencia mejor. Me faltan las palabras para poder expresar nuestro agradecimiento. Nos lo llevaremos siempre en nuestro recuerdo.

Absolutamente nada... es imposible que sea mejor!! Y un 12 para todos los trabajadores que hicieron nuestra estancia inolvidable.

Fantastiskt boende och bästa servicen :)

We were thrilled at the place and the free excusions on offer, one of which we took. The food was excellent and the staff great

Perfect place to detach and relax. The staff are super friendly and the waterfall hike we were talked on was amazing

The nature and kindness of staff

The restaurant is below expectations although staff was super nice

This small hotel is located in a very nice and remote hilly location next to rice fields and a small stream. What needs to be mentioned as outstanding is the extremely attentive and warm hearted service with 100% good quality. The breakfast was extraordinary and all wishes were taken care of. The team took great care with suggestions of local activities and also guided us for those activities without any extra fees. They also took care of games and small activities with our kids, explaining the local environment with its plants and animals. The kids loved the DIY activities with bamboo and the games. The rooms are very close to nature and you have to be aware that you can hear the stream and cannot switch it off at night... ;-)

The staff were absolutely amazing. We wanted to change our reservation after we arrived, and they made it happen. They are super attentive and friendly. They also offered to pick us up from downhill after our walk to the waterfall.

Paradise for people who are in love with nature, lots of bugs 🐛 squirrels 🐿️ lizards 🦎 monkeys 🐒 natural waterfalls downstairs from your chalet, beautiful views to paddy fields We were upgraded to a beautiful glass chalet with a private access to water stream, very comfy chalet with 2 room balcony and terrace. The manager organized for as trip to nearby waterfall which was a bit of a hike, with our 3 and 5 years old it was an adventure hike ending at the gorgeous waterfall with its own natural pool. We went as well for a village trip with a small temple you can visit. Very delicious breakfast fresh juice fruits and the most delicious string hopped with coconut filling inside 🤤

Nothing really, you just need to be prepared its wildlife resort 😀

Geweldig hotel middenin de natuur. We kregen een gratis upgrade naar een prachtige kamer aan de rivier. We kregen ook per persoon een massage van 45 minuten cadeau. Het personeel is heel beleefd en gastvrij. Ze bieden leuke excursies aan. Wij wilden daar niet weg!

Couldn’t have wished for a better stay! This hotel is set in a truly serene location — every morning we woke to the gentle rush of a nearby stream, the cheerful songs of birds, and an otherwise blissful silence. Room was huge with AC, large bathroom incl. bathtub and a balcony with a breathtaking view. The culinary experience was just as memorable: from hearty Sri Lankan and Western breakfasts to an impressive variety of fish and meat dishes for lunch and dinner. Freshly squeezed juices and beautifully presented fruit platters added the perfect refreshing touch to every meal. The staff were an absolute dream — incredibly helpful, attentive, and offering impeccable service from start to finish including helping us to organise a kayaking trip. They made us feel genuinely cared for. We would recommend this place without hesitation — a perfect 10/10 experience!

As typical in Sri Lanka - no gym available.

The place is a m a z i n g so peaceful and gives back energy. Great staff especially dumi they were so so king and generous to us and gave the most welcome feeling.

Nothing the place is stunning

Good friendly and accommodating staff, who gave us free room upgrades and complimentary spa treatments and one bottle of wine. Beautiful off grid location for the perfect unique getaway.

This is a really special place. Beautifully designed rooms embedded in nature; we were upgraded to the river side lodge which was a treat and a very unique experience as it feels like you're in the middle of the jungle. Spa treatments are excellent, and so is the food (especially the Sri Lankan curry; all made with unique local produce). As other people have said here, the most amazing thing about Glenrock is the people. It is hard to put into words just how attentive they are. Nothing is too much! Dumi took us on a wonderful day trip which gave us a real feel for the area, and from this we learnt a lot about rural Sri Lankan life. When one of us didn't feel well, the care they provided was outstanding. All in all a wonderful experience and we'd love to come back here one day.

It is quite remote and hard to get to, which means you either need to stay local or spend time in a car. It's not really possible to go anywhere else for food etc.

We loved the hospitality, the ambiance, the spa. The food was good but can be improved, tough meat and the river fish had too many bones. The staff kindly replaced it with chicken which was good but the hotel could improve on their cuisine. We loved staying on the river, but it does make a lot of noise.

Location & friendly staff

The place was stunning, the people were charming, the food was great…..we really enjoyed all the activities. Definitely worth a visit

Nothing

I mean, where do I even start. The property itself is stunningly beautiful, accommodation plush and food excellent but the people and service are what really set this resort apart from others. The staff particularly Asanka and Thusith. These guys did more for me than any other resort experience I have ever had. Traveling alone by motorcycle I had no cell service, Asanka went so far as to go to town on his own to find me a portable WiFi router not to mention he loaned me his for the day while he was looking for one for me. Thusith took care of me like family with food, drinks, property tour, and insuring my laundry was collected and ready for me. The massage was fantastic from a true professional, he took special attention to the areas motorcycle riding strains. I really cannot thank and say enough good things about my experience. Then, to top it off Alsanka noticed my motorcycle was dripping oil and had one of the crew come take a look. If it wasn’t for this I surely would have blown the engine. He didn’t stop at that he and Thusith rode a scooter to town while I followed and took me to a store with oil, filled it for me and wished me safe travels.

Nothing

Nothing to say anything. Absolutely perfect everything pretty much. Highly recommended this place. Mr Asanka (manager) and crew was absolutely incredible. If you’re going to Sri Lanka please do not miss this place. Absolutely breathtaking views.

Very beautiful property, exceptional staff!!!

This Place is truly amazing: the nature, the views, the pool, the spa , the great food. But the very Best are the AMAZING lovely people working there . Really everyone did there very best to fullfil us every wish and make the days there unforgettable. Special thanks for Dumi, the Manager : I will never forget your exceptional Service, your kindness and hospitality. We were in 7 different Hotels across Sri Lanka- all rated above 9 … But Glen Rock was outstanding. It deserves a 12 instead of a 10! I would come back and recommend it to all my Friends .

Nothing. Glen Rock rocks!

A unique boutique hotel in a unique location. We stayed for three days, it was three days of absolute peace, relaxation and fantastic views. There are only mountains, rice fields and wildlife around. Giant squirrels came to us for breakfast while we tasted the best tea in the world. A wonderful, courteous, friendly team that treats guests like beloved relatives. They are ready to respond to any whim (guys, we miss you already). To get to the most stunning views, the hotel provides you with transportation. And there is also a Spa where you can get treatments in complete unity with nature. In short, we have loved this place forever.

It’s just hard to get this place. But maybe it’s an advantage:)

We booked this hotel doing our research and we were very happy with the choice. The Glenrock staff made our trip to Belihuloya memorable for long time and make us wanted to visit this amazing place more than once. I wanted to take this opportunity thank few people make this trip so memorable. They are by names Asanka, Thusith and Duminda further, rest of staff members worked in the kitchen and all other sections of the Hotel. They work tirelessly to make our stay comfortable and adventurous by arranging all tours around Belihuloya looking after us with all our needs.

Only issue was the rain but it is act of nature

Such a wonderful place. It gives you a really authentic Sri Lankan experience - although you are staying in a nice room, you feel like you're in nature and at the same time, you're staying with family in a small village, taking part in their every day life. The village walking tour is highly recommended! We learned so much about the country just from that one activity alone. The staff are all wonderful, and you won't want to leave!

Everything was great. The one minor issue is how long it takes to get food - but they are upfront about it, and recommend you to order a bit in advance. Not a big problem, and it forces you to slow down!

TheGlenrock is a magical place for us, which is not only located in a beautiful jungle landscape, but also offers the best service - always with a big smile and the “we make it happen” attitude. No wish is left unfulfilled, everything is possible. The penthouse where we stayed offers a spectacular view, the large terrace is a wonderful place to sit, and a few floors below is the restaurant with really delicious cuisine. We often saw the chefs picking herbs and salads from their own garden. So: everything is fresh and delicious. Special thanks to Asanka, who really knows no problem and always finds a solution, Thusith, who looked after us so lovingly and took us on the most beautiful tours into the jungle, always in a good mood, and Nevika, the best masseur and yoga teacher (on the roof with a view in the morning). But all the staff were also always smiling and so friendly. A magical place you won't forget.

The Glenrock exceeded by far our expectations. The customer service, attention to detail, and quality for the products and services provided were beyond excellent. The staff was attentive, friendly, and always found a way to surprise us for the best! Thusith took very good care of us, helping with recommendations and organising our tours. Pradeep provided exceptional service as yoga instructor, and massage therapist, the best we have experienced in years. The food was prepared from scratch for us, fresh quality product prepared with love and care. Options to cater any taste. We will be coming back for sure!

It felt a little bit chilly in the evening/night. I would have liked to be able to make our room a little bit warmer. But knowing this, I will be prepared for next time with warmer clothes for the colder evenings.

This place in Belihuloya is a real hidden gem! Tucked away in a beautiful forested area, it’s the perfect spot to unwind and get close to nature. You’ll be surrounded by lush greenery and the peaceful sounds of the forest—truly an escape from it all. The staff here were awesome—super friendly and welcoming. Big shoutout to Asanka, who went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. It’s rare to find people who genuinely care, but that’s exactly what you’ll get here. The food was just amazing! The Sri Lankan dishes, in particular, were a highlight—so much flavor, and everything tasted fresh and authentic. From delicious curries to all the classic local sides, it was honestly some of the best Sri Lankan food I’ve had. If you’re looking to relax, enjoy great food, and be around wonderful people, this place in Belihuloya is definitely worth checking out!

The place was gorgeous! Couldn't believe our amazing view of the river and the fact thatvw e could just walk down from our room to bathe in the river! The room was so clean and smelled great and the view was lovely! The staff was so friendly and we had an amazing massage too!

From the moment we booked at The Glenrock everything was superb. The hotel communicated with us before arrival to ask if we had any requirements and also to ensure we were clear where we were going so didn’t get lost. The location was idyllic and peaceful with access to waterfalls and walks nearby. The room was extremely comfortable and we were lucky enough to have direct access to the river from the balcony. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and they were attentive without being overbearing and everyone was so friendly. The eco effort put in by the hotel was excellent with glass water bottles and refillable glass shower gels and shampoos. The food was delicious and excellent portions with the breakfasts and curry in banana leaf particular highlights. We enjoyed the experience so much we decided to stay an extra night at the end of our trip :) Special mention to Asanka who was superb throughout and an absolute credit to the place, awesome guy and hopefully meet him again the next time we stay.

Not so much didn’t like but minor points to make it even better. A slightly broader vegetarian option with protein would be welcome. They did not have the full range of drinks available but this could well have been because it was the off season. More for info, but if a strong WiFi connection is important then you will be struggling, it was ok for WhatsApp calls but did keep dropping out during then. That said it is a nature retreat so hopefully this isn’t too important!

To feel at peace, calm and be one with nature - this is your place. Lovely modern, very comfortable accommodation & facilities. The location was stunningly beautiful surrounded by nature & centrally located for any activities, ie walk to the local village; not too far to drive to Waterfalls; we loved the morning Yoga; etc The staff incredibly knowledgeable; very friendly, kind, caring, accommodating, & professional. Loads of flexibility around dining, ie on the day of leaving we had to leave early for our train journey and we couldn’t do breakfast so the staff organised the most beautiful packed brunch for us to take with us for our train journey - we loved everything from the fresh sandwiches; gorgeous fruit and yummy pancakes. They were so incredibly kind and thoughtful and organised our transport to Haputale to ensure we got our train to Kandy. We will definitely 💯 be coming back as our stay was so comfortable and relaxing we didn’t want to leave. We cannot thank Asanka, Nilantha & Pradeep for making our stay so comfortable and enjoyable.

We loved it! This property was everything it said it would be and more.

This experience is very unique , the location is in the middle of nature , service is excellent, I really recommend it

The facility is one thing but the staff, the complimentary aspects, the care and attention of everyone was fantastic. From the manager, to the driver, the restaurant staff, the chefs, everybody is kind, patient, hospitable and knowledgeable about the surroundings. It is a wonderful mix of comfortable stay with facilities and immersion into nature. The one hour massage, the yoga session, the tour in the village with the local guide were all extra perks that we enjoyed thoroughly. We even asked for traditional coconut pancakes for breakfast and the chefs prepared a delicious meal every time. They shared local snippets with us about the flora, fauna and culture of the region, we visited the temple and the rice fields, the school. The manager and the staff were always attentive with our needs and questions, they drove us and picked us up from the locations. We cannot recommend the place enough, truly! It's been the highlight of our three-week Sri Lanka trip so far. It is not just an accommodation, it's a story in itself 🙏♥️

Location, the service of the staff were up to our expectations and the amenities were excellent. However we would suggest more varieties to be included in the three meals.

The staff was amazing. They ensured my wife and I were very happy Let me first say how accomodating the staff was. The staff at Glenrock ensured that we were well taken care and went above and beyond with extras to ensure we were happy.  Lodging: The lodging was excellent, I slept very well in their comfortable bed and the ceiling fan with the AC was perfect.  Environment: The area and grounds offer a spectacular view from above and below, we did not want to leave, heard a few monkeys on our roof during the night. Food: The dinner was good and the breakfast was plentiful, they did not leave our side and ensured the breakfast on the river was done perfectly. They went out of their way to make us happy. Overall: My team,my wife and I loved "The Glenrock", we will stay again and stay longer next time. Thank you to the entire team

The location was excellent. So close to nature. We had an amazing two nights there. The staff was also super helpful.

Nothing

The staff, amenities and the food at the restaurant were all so exceptional! Falling asleep to the sound of the river below was total bliss. We were thrilled to have opted for the river cabins - we loved our lush everything was outside our room. We also appreciated how the hotel had free daily activities planned and listed on a board, including tours of the local village and excursions to the nearby waterfalls. We stayed with our 18 month daughter and had a bliss stay. I would definitely recommend staying here for a minimum of 2 days for a totally relaxed vacation! What a little GEM of a hotel! Well worth a trip to the area!

Nothing! Everything was wonderful!

We stayed in the Mountain View room which has a balcony view of mountain and is over the river. We saw giant squirrels and good birdlife- grey horn bill, 3 types of barbets, etc from our room. They have a free trip to the waterfall - we jumped in for a swim from the rock ledge which was exciting and a guided village, cave- temple walk. The staff were very helpful and made the stay, especially Duminda and Chinthka. The food was terrific jacuzzi was great. Swimming in the river was stunning.

The roads were deteriorated so it was to long for us to drive to Horton Plains or Bakers Bend from Belihuloya.

Quiet location in beautiful nature Staff is extremely helpful Food is amazing So much to see and enjoy

We LOVED staying at the Glenrock. Best hotel I have ever stayed at, the location is a dream and we loved the natural pool and swimming in the river. We stayed in a river cabana and the room was lovely. Visited by monkeys in the morning. All the food we had was delicious. The staff were also great.

Everything was excellent, the rooms were wonderful and the services is five star

Location, the cabins, the waterfalls the setting was stunning and the cabins were lovely.

was very happy

Incredible nature filled eco paradise! Imresh and his team go above and beyond to make you feel special and welcome! This property is hidden away in the heart of nature and as a result you are surrounded by natures beauty! Birds, monkeys, butterflies and more, whilst still having the experience of a luxury hotel! The day trips are fun and the staff were exceptional!

A little pricey, especially the wine but worth splashing out on this as a treat, especially if you love nature.

This is a real gem! Felt really spoiled by the very attentive staff. Great food and fabulous room. The perfect place to absorb yourself in nature with a touch of luxury. As a bit of a twitcher, this is incredible. Ticked of a number of rear sightings. Loved the morning visit of the giant squirrel coming for his breakfast. Will definitely be back.

Location & customer service

For nature lovers Sri Lanka is a paradise, this hotel provides just that exposure to nature and provided exceptional service to their customers to enjoy pristine nature in a traditional village in Sri Lanka which is not common in many parts of Sri Lanka. Hotel is surrounded by paddy fields (rice cultivation) and mountain range with ample water streams and medium-size water falls; we were exposed to sounds of water and birds during the entire stay and no sounds of people or street. Hotel is located in an exceptionally calm place; good for metal relaxation, and meditation. Hotel staff exceeded our expectations and provided local tours to experience village life and hiking in the mountains to learn fauna and water falls around the village. Hotel staff is exceptional in cooking traditional Sri Lankan or western food, kudos to the entire staff, manager and kitchen staff. This is one of the few places in Sri Lanka that we felt home sickness when we checkout. We will be back to this unique picturesque place in Sri Lanka in our future visits.

The Glenrock was an amazing experience. The location and environment were idyllic with mountains around it and an ever flowing river on the periphery. We spotted large billed birds in the trees, a mongoose, chipmunks and a giant squirrel who visited every morning for bananas. The rooms were large and equipped with all you needed, the bed was very comfortable and WiFi worked in all the rooms. The staff were amazing always on hand to help delivering ice, drinks and food to our rooms. The breakfasts were out of this world so tasty and so substantial. Dinner in the hotel dining area was so well managed it felt like a fine dining experience with drinks topped up, refills of food and attention to all the details. Compliments to the chefs the food was outstanding. We were taken to visit the waterfalls and the staff were very attentive insuring our safety at all times. The river in the grounds of the hotel provided us with such a giggle whilst we had "fish therapy", tiny fish nibbling your feet leaving them smooth and refreshed. We loved our stay here and would like to thank Iresh, Thushara, Duminda and the chefs. We would highly recommend you indulge in this experience

Our stay was incredible. We absolutely loved our time, and the hotel and staff were first class. Beautiful remote location, and we enjoyed a lovely day trip to the local waterfall. Very comfortable room. Thank you Glenrock!

The location and the rooms were amazing!! we could see many different animals from the terrace. But especially the team of Glenrock is AMAZING!! Such caring, kind and friendly people who make it an absolute pleasure to spend time at Glenrock. Thank you for everything!! Team will pick you up from parking lot nearby as the final piece of the road requires 4x4 transport.
