Die Zimmer ist mit Klimaanlage ausgestattet. Die Zimmer sind sauber und gross. Der Gastgeber war extrem freundlich und hilfsbereit. Außerdem hat er uns bei den Aktivitäten und Transfer geholfen. Das Essen war auch sehr gut. Kann den Ort aufjedenfall sehr empfehlen.
We had a wonderful stay here in Habarana and would absolutely recommend it! The room was very spacious, spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, including both air conditioning and a fan. The bed was very comfortable and we slept really well. Despite the high temperatures outside, the room stayed cool and comfortable throughout the night. The bathroom was also very clean and well equipped, with good water pressure and hot water always available. Breakfast was included and was one of our favourite parts of the stay. It was different every morning, always fresh, delicious and generous, with a nice mix of sweet and savoury local dishes. We also had dinner here every evening and really enjoyed it. The portions were generous, everything was delicious, and it was a great opportunity to try different local dishes. The owner was incredibly kind, attentive and helpful. He gave us great advice on how to organise our days, especially regarding the best times to visit places and how to plan the different activities. He also kindly drove us wherever we needed to go, which made exploring Habarana so much easier. Overall, a very comfortable stay with delicious food and genuinely warm hospitality. We felt really well looked after and would happily stay here again!
The house is very and spacious, it gives a good vibe and great for relaxing
Lot of mosquitoes, but that is usually is the case with such abundant in nature
The owners were very kind, very accommodating, even when we had to take our breakfast (very nice btw) very early. Clean property.
Had a lovely stay at Swan Lake! The property is peaceful, clean and surrounded by beautiful greenery. The highlight, though, was the wonderful hospitality from Kalhara and Hansi. They’re such a warm and genuinely caring couple who made me feel right at home, especially as a solo traveller. Would happily recommend Swan Lake to anyone visiting Habarana! ❤️ Attached are some pictures of the breakfast that Kalhara and Hansi prepared for me, and the tourist attractions that they personal arranged for me.
Nothing to dislike, everything is perfect at the property.
Very clean, tidy and comfortable. A peaceful place to relax on your visit to Habarana. The best breakfast in Sri Lanka will set you up for your day. Kalhara is an extremely helpful and reliable host. Recommended!
Had an Amazing stay!
Swan Lake Habarana exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and excellent hospitality. ❤️ The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making our stay incredibly relaxing. What truly stood out was the friendly and attentive staff. Their service was exceptional, and they made us feel genuinely valued throughout our stay. The atmosphere, cleanliness, food, and overall experience were all outstanding. The rooms are good and definitely worth the price we paid.
Perfetto in tutto ! Da tornarci
Wir wurden perfekt umsorgt. Sowohl die angebotene Safari (der Fahrer fuhr sehr rücksichtsvoll), bis hin zum Abendessen und anderen organisierten Fahrten, einfach nur top!

Kalahara, the property owner runs this with his wife. He's prompt in responding and took good care of us. We had an issue with the AC, but he got it fixed quickly after being reported. The property is very beautiful with a nice garden. The food portions (all cooked by the wife of the owner) were very large.
Allotjament molt acollidor, net i maco. Vam tenir la sort de que els propietaris ens adaptessin el menjar a dieta gluten free. El menjar va ser tot deliciós, de qualitat i vam poder provar moltes coses tipiques del país. El safari espectacular, preu algo superior a altres, pero val la pena.
Tot i que el propietari ho intentava fer de bona fe, en alguns moments ens vam sentir presionats per la seva intensitat alhora d’oferir activitats. Segons ell ho feia simplement per oferir, però no ens donava aquesta sensació. Creiem que si canvies una mica aquesta actitut, ho valorariem amb un 10.
Eine sehr angenehme Unterkunft in bester Lage nahe Lionsrock, Polonnaruwa und mehreren Nationalparks. Großes Zimmer vor dem Garten mit leiser Klimaanlage, gutem Bad sowie großen und bequemen Betten. Kalhara ist stets sehr um seine Gäste bemüht und erfüllt jeden Wunsch. Seine Frau Hansi ist eine ganz hervorragende Köchin, Frühstück und Abendessen waren jedes Mal anders und wirklich immer absolut fantastisch! Swan Lake ist ein perfekter Stop zwischen Kandy nach Trincomalee.
La cura dei dettagli, soprattutto nella preparazione della colazione, ogni mattina diversa, ricca di ingredienti e ricette locali
Swan Lake offers the kind of hospitality you just don’t get at hotels. The place was clean, comfortable and great value for money. The owner couldn’t have done anymore for us - he organized safaris, tours and hikes for us last minute. I would highly recommend staying here to experience Sri Lankan hospitality and some great food too!
We had a wonderful stay! The place was very clean and well maintained, and the staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming throughout our stay. The breakfast and dinner were absolutely amazing, with delicious food and great service. Everything was perfect and made our stay very enjoyable and relaxing. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable stay with excellent hospitality. We would happily stay here again!
The host was fantastic. It was my son’s birthday and his wife made him a personalised cake! He sorted out everything that we needed. Breakfast was great - loads of fruit and lots of roti, pancakes etc. (and dinner was nice too)

sehr freundlicher Gastgeber, viele hilfreiche Tipps, der Gastgeber war sehrhilfreich, hat uns spontan auch einmal gefahren, das Frühstück war umfangreich und abwechslungsreich, auch das Abendessen war gut und umfangreich, jederzeit gab es noch Getränke oder Tee, die Zimmer waren ganz neu hergerichtet und sehr sauber, uns hat der Aufenthalt dort auf alle Fälle sehr gut gefallen, gerne wieder, für unsere absolute Empfehlung
Excellent stay, spotless room, pleasant host and great food. The property checks all the boxes and highly recommended.
I wish I had booked the stay for at least 2 Nights.
Host was very friendly. Very homely. Clean. Well-maintained. Provided with all essential things. Nice little home garden to take a walk around. Food was very good.
Everything was brilliant.
Had a wonderful stay at Swan Lake Habarana. The room was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making our stay very pleasant and relaxing. The authentic Sri Lankan breakfast was a highlight of the experience—fresh, flavorful, and a great introduction to the local cuisine. A special thanks to Kalhara for being an outstanding host. He was incredibly welcoming, helpful, and always available to assist with anything we needed, from local recommendations to travel arrangements. His warmth and attention to detail truly made our stay memorable. Highly recommend Swan Lake Habarana to anyone visiting the area.
Second time there, the guest owner is very welcoming and helpful, his wife cooking is superb and the room is very clean with good air conditioning and warm water
Nothing
We prefer to have more privacy! But in genereall it was a very clean room, warm water for shower was there. He was always there to take care, sometimes for us personaly a little bit too much.
One of the best and friendly ,clean place. Love this place.
We had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend this place. The owner was incredibly kind, welcoming, and always willing to help with anything we needed. The accommodation was very clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The breakfast was delicious and one of the highlights of our stay. Thank you for the great hospitality – we would be happy to come back!
La ubicació, les instal·lacions, el menjar i el tracte excel·lent de tot el personal, en concret del Kalhara, que ha sigut súper atent durant la nostra estada. Si aneu a Harabana us heu d’allotjar aquí.
Tot perfecte
Todo, buena habitación buena ubicación y el dueño muy amable, invitó al desayuno (muy bueno) y puso un guía para el safari de Minneriya a bastante buen precio, muy recomendado si vais a Habarana
From start to finish, our stay at Swan Lake was absolutely phenomenal. This place is a must-stay if you're looking to stay in Habarana. Kalhara and his family were so warm, friendly, and accommodating. Throughout our stay, he made sure we were well looked after, dropping us off and picking us up around Habarana. He helped us arrange public buses and rent bicycles so we could explore the Cultural Triangle. He also drove us early one morning so my partner and I could experience sunrise at Pidurangala Rock, as well as arranging a private safari tour in Minneriya National Park with a guide who had 21 years of experience. It was an unforgettable experience to witness “The Gathering,” the largest gathering of Asian elephants in the world. In addition, Kalhara arranged for us to attend an authentic Sri Lankan cultural performance featuring traditional Sinhala dances, fire breathing, and fire walking, which was another highlight of our trip and gave us a wonderful insight into the local culture. Lastly, the breakfasts were absolutely amazing. Every day was different and authentically Sri Lankan. We will, for certain, be staying here again the next time we're in Habarana. Thank you, Kalhara, for your incredible hospitality and for making our stay such a memorable experience! 🫶🏼 🇱🇰
Nothing, everything was absolutely perfect!
Estaba muy limpio, muy amables los dueños, el sitio es realmente bonito con un grandísimo jardín, el desayuno y la cena espectacular , todo muy rico. El dueño se preocupaba de explicarte todos los diferentes platos, incluso como se hacían. También nos enseñó su jardín.
Todo perfecto
Swan Lake is a fantastic family business & the hosts made us feel really well looked after during our stay. We were collected from the station & Kalhara was always on hand with a smile, to make our stay extra special & tailored to suit our needs - nothing was too much trouble! Kalhara assisted us with our safari tour & lots of other recommendations.The breakfast each morning was fantastic Sri-Lankan, homemade cuisine. The rooms were really clean with a hot shower & comfortable beds.
Kalhara was super helpful during our stay & nothing was too much trouble. At times, this was a little intense for us, with elevated pricing but others may appreciate having everything planned for ease. Kalhara’s enthusiasm is notable.
Our stay was amazing at Swan Lake Hotel. The owner of the hotel Kalhara was super friendly and very caring and in addition, he has the biggest heart that anyone could have. 🫶🏻❤️ The restaurant place is in a quiet location near beautiful rice fields. We went on kayaking trip at the lake and it was an unforgettable experience. The rice fields after passing the village is a must to visit and is around a hundred KM. Plenty of birds and a stunning green landscape. For whoever wanna stay anywhere nearby HABARANA, this is the best place to stay..
The host was charming and very welcoming. He fulfilled all of our requests and even went above and beyond. He organized a safari and an Ayurveda massage for us at excellent prices and offered to drive us everywhere. We had a superb dinner at his place, prepared by his wife, and a wonderful, varied, home-cooked breakfast. The rooms were very spacious and very clean, with hot water in the shower. In short – perfect.he rooms were very clean and spacious
--
The room was clean and the owner was very friendly and supportive. The owners offered to cook traditional Sri Lankan home-style dinners both nights we stayed. They helped us with organising the Echo Park safari by providing the jeep and driver. Only a 30 min drive to Sigiriya.
Nothing.
Lovely family owned and operated accommodation. Three large rooms, modern, good shower and location. Fantastic home cooked meals, better than dining out, easily the best dinner we've had in Sri Lanka. Peaceful garden setting outside and cool air conditioning inside. Our hosts, Kalhara and his lovely wife were amazing. Very attentive while still allowing us privacy. Genuine Sri Lankan family experience.
Such a great find! This small, boutique hotel has everything you need.: a clean, comfortable, and peaceful setting; activities coordinator; and excellent local food. It’s quiet but very close to town. The host, Kalhara, will see to your every need, from train station pickup to local activities to arranging tours. The daily changing menu is a restaurant quality culinary tour of Sri Lanka. Every meal is a feast! And best of all, you are truly treated like family. We are so glad we stayed here!
Very endearing, thoughtfully designed and well maintained little guest house. The owner is a fantastic host and his wife an amazing cook!
Excellent séjour à Swan Lake Habarana, l’hôte nous a très bien conseillé sur toutes les excursions. La chambre était très propre et très fonctionnelle. Les petits déjeuners et repas sont de grandes qualités et l’hôte s’adapte à vos goûts. L’hôte est vraiment d’une grande gentillesse, toujours prêt à faire plaisir aux voyageurs. Il a pris du temps pour répondre à toutes nos questions sur les coutumes et traditions du Sri Lanka. Nous recommandons l’hôtel à 100% !
The host is very welcoming, always respond to our needs and checks if we feel comfortable staying at the lodge. He also came to the train station to pick us up and sometimes he offered to drive us to the city free of charge, we really appreciated that. Room is spacious and spotless, we got everything we need, hot shower, hairdryer. The breakfast and the diner are REALLY AMAZING! A SUPER big plus for this place, and they CHANGE menu everyday, so we had a bit of everything during our stay.
N/A
The room was spacious and clean. While Habarana was extremely hot, the room temperature was bearable without having to use the AC for the entire night. Breakfast at this accommodation was very nice and was different each day.
The accommodation is set back from the road, so it isn’t too noisy, though some street noise (without loud horns) can be heard — one morning it did wake me up. Most of the time, however, we slept well. Dinner felt somewhat overpriced and lacked variety. On one occasion, we requested boiled vegetables as part of dinner, and when we checked out the host attempted to charge an additional 3,000 rupees without prior agreement. The property is not located in the town center, which can be slightly inconvenient for dining out or shopping if you don’t have a car. As there is no pedestrian path, walking is not really practical. Before arrival, the host mentioned that breakfast could be served at any time. When we asked for breakfast at 7 a.m. one day, they were initially reluctant but eventually agreed. Payment was charged according to the latest exchange rate (which was quite high in April 2026) and rounded up slightly.
Kalhara's place was a great stay for our 3 days. The bedroom was spacious and comfortable with a hot water shower. The hospitality there stood out, as Kalhara is there to assist in anything you need. I asked for a haircut and he gladly took me to his barber who did a wonderful job. Let's not forget the breakfast -- so tasty and always a little different each morning. After 3 weeks in the country this was by far the best egg hopper. If I am back in Habarana I am coming back here!
Nothing
Our 3-night stay in Habarana was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and hospitality that instantly made us feel at home. The setting is absolutely beautiful—peaceful, lush, and perfectly positioned to experience the best of Sri Lanka’s cultural triangle. The accommodation itself was spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully designed, with every detail taken care of. Comfortable beds, a relaxing atmosphere, and all the amenities you could need made it easy to unwind after full days of exploring. What truly stood out was the service. The hosts went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect—always friendly, helpful, and happy to assist with local tips, transport, and recommendations. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble. The food was another highlight—fresh, delicious, and full of authentic local flavor. Each meal felt like a special experience in itself. Habarana is the ideal base for visiting nearby attractions, and staying here made everything easy and enjoyable. After three nights, we genuinely didn’t want to leave. Highly recommended—this place delivers comfort, authenticity, and outstanding hospitality in every way. We would absolutely return.
La stanza è grande e pulita, il letto comodo. C'è una veranda davanti ma bisogna munirsi di spray antizanzare. La struttura complessivamente è molto carina. Colazione varia. Abbiamo cenato solo una volta. Porzioni abbondanti. Il proprietario organizza anche i tour nelle vicinanze.
La posizione un po defilata dal centro. La doccia ha il getto un po scarso.
Very attentive, helpful and flexible host who was always available to answer questions. Great communication. Exceptionally clean, quiet and comfortable large room with great aircon. Outstanding breakfast and dinner.

Was für ein perfekter Start unserer Reise in Sri Lanka! Kalhara ist ein großartiger Gastgeber – er und seine liebe Familie haben unseren Aufenthalt im Hotel Swan Lake in Habarana unglaublich angenehm und komfortabel gemacht. Das Hotel liegt ideal, um die alten Königsstädte und die Nationalparks zu erkunden, und der wunderschöne Garten sorgt für eine entspannte Atmosphäre. Unser Zimmer war geräumig, sauber und herrlich ruhig. Das Frühstück war immer frisch, vielfältig und sehr lecker. Abends hat Kalharas Frau wunderbar für uns gekocht – jedes Gericht war köstlich und mit viel Liebe zubereitet. Kalhara hat uns außerdem zu tollen Orten gebracht und bei der Planung unserer Tagesausflüge geholfen. Auch unsere Transfers von Colombo und später nach Kandy hat er perfekt organisiert. Insgesamt hat unser Aufenthalt unsere Erwartungen weit übertroffen. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt und können das Hotel Swan Lake nur weiterempfehlen!
Výborné snídaně a vstřícný hostitel, poblíž byl ekopark se safari.
Hostitel byl občas příliš trochu snaživý i když jsme nic nepotřebovali. Navíc jsme dostali jiný pokoj s jednou, a ne dvěma postelemi, ale na místě jsme se dohodli, že to tak stačí.
Very clear, nice breakfast, and excellent host.
An amazing trip. Kalhara’s hospitality is so generous. The breakfast was outstanding. This place is comfortable, quiet, serene, and an easy walk to lovely restaurants.
NA
Very clean and good place, with easy access and close to Habarana town. The host Kalhara is an excellent person, always ready to help and very responsive to messages/ calls. Helped us in arranging the sight-seeing trips, safari, boat rides and other required transports. The place is maintained very neat and clean, food options given were very nice...Overall we had a very pleasant stay
Nos gustó más las habitaciones amplias y el desayuno variado. Las facilidades y amabilidad del dueño. Hicimos con ellos el safari que estuvo muy bien con el guía que nos buscaron.
Realmente nada
The room was lovely, very clean. Family run property with amazing hospitality. The breakfast was lovely. We were offered dinner too which was prepared with lots of love. Kalhara was so welcoming and helped us with getting a massage, safari, and a lift to Sigiriya. He picked us up and took us to local restaurants.
We had a great stay in this homestay. The room was spacious and very clean. Breakfast and dinner were delicious and the owner was very kind and helpful.
La place est très belle et très propre. Cest bien situé un peu a l'écart du village et ca se fait tres bien en tuktuk pour environ 250 roupies. L'hôte est très gentil et disponible pour tous nos besoins. Les déjeuners sont vraiment excellent. Je vous le recommande fortement.

Zelo prijazen lastnik je vedno na voljo. Zajtrki so raznoliki in zelo okusni. Velika, čista, osnovna soba, ki ponuja vse, kar potrebuješ.
מארח מקסים ומנסה ככל יכולתו לספק את כל הבקשות. מיקום נהדר. חדר נקי. מקום טובל בירוק
את גודל החדר, הניקיון, האזור שטובל בצמחיה יפה.
Everything was perfect. Kalhara was a great host. We stayed for 2 days and ate there every time. The food was excellent. We chose to eat only Sri Lankan traditional food, and it was awesome, so tasty.
Close to town, the verandah and garden were very pleasant. It was close to the national parks which are good for elephant spotting. The host could arrange safaris for you.
There were faults with the shower and toilet. The bed and bedding needed replacing. The host agreed to do this for the comfort of future visitors.
The perfect accommodation for us. Courteous, flexible hosts. We really appreciated the accommodation and the hosts.
Gastvrije ontvangst in een supernette, ruime kamers met comfortabele bedden en een verzorgde tuin. Ontbijt was heerlijk en de eigenaar heeft zelfs een taartje voorzien voor mijn dochters verjaardag! Behulpzame host die ons met plezier naar het centrum bracht indien nodig.

I booked this stay for my parents and they were thrilled by their experience. The property is surrounded by a bunch of trees, was very spacious and rustic and they loved the serenity. Additionally, the owner of the property is personally invested in the guests enjoying their stay and guided them to the best attractions in the region. The management was very accommodating for anything that my parents needed and they left Swan Lake feeling rejuvenated.
We could not recommend Swan Lake highly enough. Accomodation was fantastic - clean, tidy and well organised. The food was incredible. One person in our group had a food allergy and it was very well catered to. An amazing way to experience local food - cooked and prepared perfectly. Honestly would be a highlight at any restaurant and yet it was just another great part of this experience. Kalhara (the owner) is one of the best. He assisted in finding activities, transport, bookings, navigation, advice and was available at a moments notice. His approach is what sets Swan Lake above any hotel or other form of accomodation. Once you stay here you’ll understand exactly what I mean.
There are no negatives to this property.
El personal molt atent i educat, sempre mostrant predisposició a ajudar-te amb el que fes falta. Tot el menjar que serveixen està deliciós. Us desitgem molta sort, Montserrat i Xavi.
Nuestra estancia fue excelente, la habitación estaba súper limpia y el desayuno buenísimo! Nosotros también comimos y cenamos en el hotel y la verdad que la comida estaba buenísima, pudimos probar varios platos típicos de Sri Lanka sin ir is muy lejos. Kalhara es un gran anfitrión, nos ayudó a organizar el Safari para Kaudulla e incluso nos acompañó, sin duda super recomendado!
Nada malo, la estancia fue genial!
Meilleur hôtel de notre séjour ! Kalhara est un hôte exceptionnel, toujours prêt à tout faire pour vous satisfaire. Les chambres offrent le meilleur rapport qualité-prix : elles sont propres, joliment décorées, équipées de la climatisation, avec une belle vue sur le jardin, et la literie est très confortable. Le dîner du soir était excellent, avec plusieurs choix possibles, et les petits-déjeuners étaient frais et délicieux. Pour les activités, nous avons suivi les conseils de Kalhara pour un safari : il nous a recommandé le parc de Kaudulla ainsi qu’un chauffeur formidable, une expérience inoubliable ! Je recommande vivement ce logement si vous passez par Habarana.

Wow wow wow Amazing!! Good location, clean, there’s an ac The breakfast was absolutely AMAZING the best we had!! The hospitality was amazing Kalhara the host is so nice and helped us with everything we needed, couldn’t choose a better place then this one 100% recommended
Nothing Everything was perfect
Très jolie guest house et propriétaire hyper accueillant. Le petit déjeuner et le dîner sont délicieux. Un plaisir de discuter avec eux.
Proprietario molto gentile e disponibile, attento e pronto ad accontentare i clienti. A noi ha fatto servizio lavanderia in una notte e a poco prezzo. Camera spaziosa, colazione molto buona ed abbondante. Consigliato!
Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt im Homestay in Habarana! Die Unterkunft war sehr sauber und gepflegt. Das Frühstück war hervorragend – frisch zubereitet und sehr lecker. Auch das Abendessen war ein echtes Highlight, mit viel Liebe gekocht und landestypisch. Der Host war äußerst nett und hilfsbereit, hat uns viele tolle Tipps gegeben und bei der Organisation von Ausflügen unterstützt. Klare Weiterempfehlung – wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen!
La chambre et la terrasse était très propre. Le petit déjeuner également excellent (petit déjeuner sri lankais) Kalhara est un hôte très gentil et nous a accompagné pendant notre séjour (massage, safari, conseils pour se promener). Nous avons beaucoup discuté avec lui. Merci à lui pour ce super séjour. Nous recommandons vivement
Mooie locatie, prachtige kamers en een hele aardige en behulpzame gastheer die een heerlijk diner en een heerlijk ontbijt voor ons klaarmaakte.
Good value for money The staff was very attentive and helpful The bed is king size and the area is quite
Lots of flies in the breakfast/dining area. The dinner and lunch are quite pricey.
Very clean , as shown in photos with very pleasant front garden . Owner was very good at communicating via text, friendly and helpful. A/c worked well , good shower with hot water. Property was very good value for money including breakfast. On a couple of occasions I requested a take out breakfast and it was put safely in a box. Owner ‘s wife could cook fresh dish for diner on request , big portion ! Small convenience shop at the front of the property , excellent bakehouse 800 m on the high street next to Habanara post office. We requested laundry service and it was outsourced within 24 h reasonably priced.
WiFi could be on/off especially at busy time in the evening . Back door of our bedroom had a slight gap but that was pointed out to the owner who will fix it. I would have liked a bedside lamp to read in the evening.
Todo, estancia cómoda, grande y limpia, la cama muy cómoda, el jardín muy bonito, comida buena y abundante. Cerca del centro y de lugares de interés Y nuestro anfitrión nos hizo la estancia muy agradable, es muy atento . Sin duda repetiría

Kalhara è stato un host molto gentile, ce ne siamo andati con là sensazioni di aver lasciato un amico da tornare a trovare. Le camere sono spaziose e molto pulite dotate di AC ben funzionante. Abbiamo soggiornato 3 notti con colazioni e cene sempre diverse e ottime. Infine oltre a supportarci in alcuni attività, ci ha consigliato un ottimo massaggio ayurvedico e personalmente accompagnato in alcune compere.
- il ragazzo che gestisce la struttura è super in gamba, gentile e disponibile - abbiamo cenato per due sere di fila ed è sempre stato molto buono e con un ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo - colazioni buone e abbondanti, diverse ogni giorni - camera con condizionatore, pulita e spaziosa
Niente, lo consiglierei
Il nostro soggiorno è stato molto piacevole. Kalhara è stato un host impeccabile: dal posto incantevole alle colazioni abbondanti e deliziose. Inoltre era il compleanno di uno di noi e ha organizzato una piccola sorpresa. Lo raccomandiamo: il rapporto qualità prezzo merita assolutamente.
È stato tutto perfetto.
Nous avons été très bien accueillis, les chambres sont grandes et très propres avec climatisation ainsi que l'eau chaude dans les salles de bain. Les petits déjeuners sont très copieux et changent tous les jours ! Nous prenions également notre dîner ici tellement la cuisine est succulentes. Merci pour ce beau séjour ! Si je retourne au Sri Lanka, je repasse par swan lake!
Alles! :) vor allem die Freundlichkeit von Kalhara, der uns wirklich bei allem unterstützt hat. Er hat uns immer die besten Fahrer organisiert und auch eine Safari, die einfach traumhaft war. Insgesamt war es einfach sehr unkompliziert dank seiner Hilfe! Außerdem sind die Zimmer extrem sauber und das Bett komfortabel, es gibt eine Klimaanlage. Hervorzuheben ist außerdem das Essen: sowohl Frühstück als auch Abendessen wurden immer frisch und mit Liebe zubereitet und mit Obst aus seinem eigenen Garten, das war wirklich großartig. Wir können diese Unterkunft von Herzen weiterempfehlen und zwar für jegliche Art von Reisenden; es gibt insgesamt 3 Zimmer, was es sehr überschaubar macht und man sich sehr gut aufgehoben fühlt. Mit uns waren eine Familie und ein Solo-Traveller vor Ort - also wirklich etwas für jeden 😊
Great dinner and very good breakfast. Very nice place and nice staff/owner. Nice terace and garden view and chill.
Localización excelente para visitar el Triángulo Cultural!! Habitaciones limpias, con aire acondicionado y ventilador de techo, camas cómodas y baño equipado. Jardin muy cuidado y localización en un sitio tranquilo. La amabilidad, simpatía y dedicación de Kalhara son inmejorables, sólo igualadas por la calidad de los desayunos y las cenas que nos prepararon el y su mujer los cuatro días que estuvimos en su alojamiento (cada día mejor que el anterior…) Muchas gracias por hacernos sentir como en casa!!!. Volveremos!!!
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour au Swan Lake hotel, chez Kalhara qui a été un hôte exceptionnel! Il s'est montré très accueillant et disponible. Il nous a beaucoup aidé dans toute l'organisation et la planification des différentes activités, et a su trouver une solution au moindre problème et ce à n'importe quelle heure de la journée. Le lieu est très joli et la cuisine était excellente. Le petit déjeuner était très copieux et de grande qualité. On sent que Kalhara prend beaucoup de plaisir à nous partager sa culture et à prendre soin de ses invités. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié loger à Swan Lake, nous recommandons à 100% ce magnifique endroit !

Nous avons adoré séjourner à l’hotel de Khalara. Le lieu est très apaisant et la chambre très propre et confortable. Khalara parle très bien anglais et donne de très bon conseils. Le petit déjeuner et le diner étaient très bons !
El hotel está en perfectas condiciones, en un lugar rodeado de naturaleza y cerca de los lugares de interés. Kalhara es el propietario más amable y dispuesto que hemos conocido, siempre está pendiente de ayudar, de recomendar sitios y de programar actividades. El desayuno está muy completo y rico, cocinan muy bien y con alimentos frescos típicos de Sri Lanka. Nos hemos ido muy contentos, lo recomendamos al 100%.
Kalhara and his wife are great hosts who truly care for their guests, going out of their way to make sure guests have an exceptional experience — even after their stay at the Swan Lake. Three clean rooms with comfortable beds, AC and hot water are set in a beautiful garden with all kinds of plants and wildlife, including the occasional monkey. The Sri Lankan breakfast they serve is exceptional and varies daily. Various Sri Lankan dishes are available for dinner, maybe a bit pricier than at some places in town but absolutely delicious and well worth it. Kalhara is very knowledgeable, easygoing, reliable, quick to respond and eager to organize tours and transport even on short notice. In town, there are also plenty of tuk tuks to take you wherever you want to go. It's best to get an impression of the going rates before booking anything. The Swan Lake is a great place to stay, I can highly recommend it and I'd go back in a heartbeat.
Just some minor things: At the time of my stay, some kind of celebration was going on in town, with music playing all night long. Insects can come in through the bathroom window and under the back door.
Kalhara è un padrone di casa accogliente e professionale. Ottima la colazione, sempre diversa, così come le cene. Se vuoi ti organizza anche gli spostamenti e visite nei luoghi di interesse.
Kalhara fue encantador de principio a fin. Muy cercano y siempre con una sonrisa y super pendiente a tu comodidad y peticiones en la estancia todo el rato. Nos fue dando recomendaciones cada día para mejorar nuestra experiencia y nos facilitó en varias ocasiones el transporte a los diferentes sitios. Además, la ubicación es excelente; en Habarana pero alejado del ruido en una zona muy tranquila y segura. Buena ubicación para luego moverse a lugares de interés próximos: Safari de Minneriya, Sigiriya, Polannaruwa, Pidurangala, Dambulla, etc. El desayuno estaba incluido en el precio. Decidimos cenar en el hotel todos los días y él se encargó personalmente de gestionarlo y por un precio super razonable en cuanto a calidad-precio. La comida era casera y muy rica de tal manera que nos iba enseñando cada día cosas nuevas del país. Recomiendo mucho cenar en el hotel!! Limpieza, lugar, etc. Todo perfecto. Cama extra grande, baño limpio y cómodo y con aire acondicionado... Nada más a pedir y no tenemos ni una sola queja. Las fotos no hacen justicia. Si volvemos alguna vez a Sri Lanka, sin duda nos alojaremos en el hotel de Kalhara y su familia!!
Nada, todo genial.
From being welcomed with special fresh fruit juice to mid day star fruit,, everything about this place was great. Kalhara is an amazing host and very helpful. Even the breakfast was very nice and complete sri lankan style. Loved staying here.
Great Stay!
-sehr leckeres authentisches Frühstück -tolle Kommunikation -viel Hilfe bei Ausflügen, Busfahrten für Ankunft und Weiterreise -tolle organisierte Safaritour über die Unterkunft, es war super wir haben viele Elefanten gesehen. Wir fanden es im Gegensatz zu anderen Touren preislich mit 20.000 für zwei Personen in Ordnung und für das was wir gesehen haben war es das auf jeden Fall wert. -Sauberkeit und Komfort war okay, insgesamt einfach gehalten, das sollte einem bewusst sein
-die Lage ist nicht ganz zentral, was für uns okay war, wir aber hier erwähnen möchten
We had a wonderful stay at swan lake. Kalhara the host was so helpful. He showed us his beautiful garden, waited with us to catch the bus, and his wife made delicious breakfasts! True hospitality. Would definitely stay again if in the area and are so thankful for the great stay. Just an FYI - dinners at the property a bit more on the expensive side at 2750 LKR/person compared to other restaurants in the area. His wife is a great cook though so it was very delicious!
We had a great stay at this guest house in Habarana. The place is super clean and quiet, even though it’s near the main road. Surrounded by nature, with monkeys and little frogs popping by – really fun! The host was very kind, always paying attention to the little things, and an amazing cook. Breakfasts were delicious, and they helped us organize activities too. Really relaxing and welcoming place. Highly recommend!
