Kabalana Hotel & Villa

The property is beautiful, clean, and very well maintained. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the pool area is perfect for relaxing. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, always ready to help. The location is great, close to Kabalana Beach and restaurants, but still peaceful and quiet. The restaurant food was also delicious.

Honestly, nothing much to complain about. Everything was well organized and the stay was very comfortable.

For 5 days we had warm/hot water only once and it last for one shower. The rest of the time the water was cold.

The property is beautiful, peaceful, and very well maintained. The rooms are spacious, clean, and well equipped with a safety box for valuables which made us feel very secure. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The swimming pool area was relaxing and the restaurant served delicious food. The location is also great, very close to Kabalana Beach.

Honestly, there was nothing significant to dislike. Everything was well organized and the staff were very attentive to guests.

I didn’t like anything the Staff stole money from us, and the manager doesn’t do anything about that.

Good location if wanting to be in Ahangama

Hotel did not look like the photos at all, bathroom was not clean there were lots of ants everywhere. The shower also leaked right into the hotel room. Would not recommend.

Ruime kamer, vriendelijk personeel

The rooms were great. The place was built beautifully. The food was yummy.

The pillows on the bed were uncomfortable. The staff could have been better. The owner was not as helpful, probably because we were locals.

It was an amazing stay — finally a place where you can truly relax in Kabalana. The hotel is close to the beach, within walking distance (about 10 minutes), but still quiet and peaceful, away from the traffic of the main road. You can actually hear nature here. The room was very comfortable, especially the bed. The shower was honestly the best I had in Sri Lanka — strong water pressure, hot water, and a really good flow. The whole space feels comfortable and easy to be in, and the pool is great too. Above all, the staff are incredible. They genuinely try to help with everything. I arrived at 8am, long before check-in, and they let me in straight away. I also needed a very late check-out and they were flexible and supportive, even keeping my luggage for me. Truly amazing.

Posizione, immersa nel verde, comoda e spaziosa, bella piscina.

Niente di negativo

L’accueil, le service, le personnel est au petit soin, le service de ménage, la proximité avec la plage et les commerces (10min à pieds), la qualité du restaurant

Rien

Quieter location but only 7 minutes’ walk to the beach. The pool is nice and breakfast is decent enough. But we were in the villa which needs some TLC. Towels are very old, sockets were loose and the bathrooms not particularly clean.

Great pool. Room was fairly clean although the bathroom wasn’t great and the sink blocked. Breakfast was pretty good

Owner was very nice, friendly and talkative. The curly haired member of staff was lazy, disinterested, unhelpful and frankly rude Everyone else were great

Nice location.. foods and accommodation are so good. Love it .friendly team…

Very quiet place, a bit far from the main road, but not a problem for me. About 7’ walking to the beach ( which is the best beach I’ve seen in Sri Lanka ) Room & bathroom are big Bed was comfortable Breakfast was ok

Not clean The bathroom needs full renovation, is covered in mould Towel had yellow stains

Booked the triple room for me and my wife for the extra space as double room was too small. Was comfortable space. Food was pretty good compared to other hotels we stayed at in Sri Lanka.

Some of staff were very rude, and yelled at my wife. Upon checking in we wanted to settle the booking payment. They said the card machine was broken and should be in working order the following day so they said its ok to pay upon checking out, noting that we have informed them clearly that the last day we will be leaving at 4 am. So they agreed it can be charged half day (but they did not in the end). Out of responsibility on the last day we went around 7pm to the office to settle our bills and discovered that the card machine is still not working and we weren't informed about. When we reminded them of initial discussion the duty manager blatantly denied everything and shouted at my wife. They were disrespectful and rude. The room was said to have a garden view where it was barely a tree from the balcony. There was constructions in the hotel and near hotel that starting very early in the morning. In the end, couldn't wait to leave this place to be honest, they were very disrespectful and didn't even apologise. Really soured our experience of Sri Lanka and did not meet standard or reasonable hospitality expectations. They could have updated the payment terms on booking.com to say it is CASH Only or at least proactively given us notice a day or two before we leave that the card machine still wasn’t work. Balcony glass was broken (balcony is shared with other rooms). TV did work well and no channels. Light switches falling off. Faulty card holder on wall for room power so lights kept turning off - we had to wedge tissues to keep it stable and power on in room. Got very judgemental looks and comments when returned to hotel late at night.

The pricing

The bedsheets and mattress were dirty The bathrooms were poorly stocked and the shower water leaked through the wet area and created a pool in the dry area Hair dryer was ancient and the key slot wouldn’t ever work

Good location just back from the main drag, great pool close enough to the beach and amenities. The young (maybe manager?) was so attentive and lovely throughout the whole stay.

The most pampering place there is, a very pleasant shower, a large pool most of the time empty of people, a large room, an amazing breakfast and an amazing staff that meets us for every request.

nada

Rooms are large, and beds are comfortable and clean.

The bathroom flooded every time we had a shower.

The staff are super friendly and made us feel welcome from start to finish. Our initial room AC was not working, but they changed it and upgraded us to the suite immediately Sri lankan breakfast was also very tasty.

When there was a local power stop, they had a backup and the conditioner kept working when all other places had to deal with extreme weather. Amazing

Nice shower nice pool nice staff

Very nice stuff and amazing pool area. Breakfast was very decent!

The rooms were spacious. The bathroom is large

This hotel is often confused with the Kabalana beach hotel situated near the main road. However this is located few hundred meters from the main road

Best staff in Sri Lanka! Got back to this hotel 3 times !! Thanks !!!

You too good 😂

Pool, Breakfast Fruits & Yoghurt, Omelette Clean room, friendly owner and employees. Garden is calm and no traffic noise

The sunbed matraze are very old and need to be changed. An old bar tower stands in the garden mossy. I would remove it. Curtains need to be exchanged in the room. Bathroom shower shelf need to be fixed.

Location , spacious room and comfortable bed.

My room smells cigarette. Overpriced for the standards.

Beautiful pool area with loungers, friendly and helpful staff, breakfast jncluded was adequate with bread, eggs and fresh fruit. Very relaxing and comfortable stay!

There were lots of mosquitos. The hotel should do mosquito fogging. The room door lock was not properly working.

very good location, just 5min walk to the beach. Amazing breakfast and super attentive hosts, they were always available to help. We also made use of the Hotel Taxi and it was super convenient and reasonable price (much better than local rickshaws which sometimes overprice tourists)

There are many mosquitoes which is normal for the area, luckily al beds are covered in mosquito nets so it wasn’t an issue

Lovely place, we felt like at home, it is a child-friendly hotel. They were always very attentive, the breakfast was very good and had a wide variety. Very close to the beach walking . We recommend for sure and will be back. Moreno and family from portugal

Fairly good facility

No

Kabalana hotel was clean, spacious and quiet - just off the main road in a jungle oasis but within walking/scooter distance to Kabalana Beach and the nearest towns. The staff were lovely and very attentive and let us check out of our room late. We loved our stay here and would definitely recommend if you’re looking for somewhere quiet and calm but not too far from town.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. location was pretty convenient and quiet. Room and bathroom were quite large and bathroom was brand new renovation with a large rain shower.

Wasnt as nice as the pictures made it seem, but that's typical and it was still satisfactory for the price. There was a TV but no cable or streaming services active on it.

The room, the breakfast and the staff were all amazing 10/10 would stay here again

We booked 2 rooms and they were neat and clean. The food was good as well as the staff.

Western breakfast

Kabalana Villa exceeded all expectations. The lush tropical surroundings and elegant architecture immediately set a tranquil tone. The staff's warmth and efficiency added a personal touch to our stay. Our suite was not only spacious but also tastefully decorated, offering a perfect balance of modern luxury and traditional charm. The culinary experience was exceptional, with a diverse menu showcasing local flavours. Have a good unlimited fibre internet facility all throughout the property and its free. Food is really tasty and very fresh. You won’t disappoint. Without a doubt, Kabalana Villa provides a refined escape, ensuring an unforgettable retreat for anyone seeking indulgence and serenity.

Breakfast was amazing, lot of varieties, more selection, very calm location, very close to the kabalana surfing beach less than 200 miters💞💪

Very good breakfast Best place for relaxation

Had a lovely couple of nights here with whole apartment for my 4 boys... really lovely friendly staff, delicious food...only short walk to Kabalana Surf break... hours of fun in the pool too. Definitely recommend...

The room was very clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We loved the food and the breakfast was also very good. Better that the average continental one.
