Beautiful modern new building, spacious and clean rooms with balcony and river view.
Breakfast could be improved a bit.
Het privé zwembad ruime kamers, warme douche. Vriendelijke eigenaar. Uitzicht!
2e slaapkamer in de punt hebben we niet gebruikt. Bed zat vol met kleine vliegjes/insecten.
The location, the view, bed, cleanliness, staff, value for money
Location & Room is clean & tidy
No electricity backup (Generator)
Nice view out balcony
Could hear people talking, moving around
La chambre état nickel, tout était fonctionnel, la vue sur la forêt et sur la rivière est juste incroyable. La salle de bain est magnifique. J’ai super bien dormis, c’est sécurisé, le personnel est adorable. J’ai tout aimer dans cet hôtel un de mes grands coup de cœur au Sri Lanka.
- L’ajout d’un petit frigo serait parfait
una vista spettacolare, camera davvero bella, spaziosa e moderna, il balcone affaccia direttamente sulla spettacolare foresta. staff molto gentile, possibilità di mangiare in struttura
The lodge is new and very well designed. Beautiful spaces, aesthetical architecture and completely next to the nature. Very tasty food options, very kind and helpful staff and super cozy rooms. Finally, the cleanliness is top notch!
Außerhalb von Kandy, dafür traumhaft schön. Sehr neu, schöner Ausblick aus dem Zimmer!
Muy buen alojamiento, súper nuevo y todo muy bonito.
La ubicación no es la mejor. Está fuera de la ciudad y sin nada que hacer en la zona.
La camera fantastica. Pulita. Nuova. Bagno Occidentale. Rapporto qualità prezzo elevatissimo. Una finestrata sulla foresta e su un fiume bellissimo con tanto di scimmie. No zanzare.
Il personale alla reception non parla inglese e si fa fatica a capirsi. Riesce comunque ad aiutarci per prenotare un driver (necessario un passaggio in auto perché distante dal centro e da qualsiasi servizio). Non ci chiede se volevamo ordinare la colazione e noi pensavamo di poter ordinare al momento. Ma siamo rimasti senza perché non aveva un bar.
Good
Il posto è nuovissimo appena ristrutturato, ha tutti i confort di un hotel europeo, le camere sono bellissime, pulite, spaziose e affacciano su un piccolo fiumiciattolo. Lo staff è magnifico, e si mangia da dio! Abbiamo anche cenato lì una sera. Si trova a circa 20 Min dal caos della città in una zona tranquilla.
Ci è piaciuto tutto
Breakfast, cleaness and place
We had a wonderful stay at Forest Face Lodge. The staff went above and beyond by arranging a beautiful free birthday decoration for my girlfriend she absolutely loved it! The place was peaceful, clean, and elegant. We really felt like we were living in nature, surrounded by greenery and calm vibes. Everything was just perfect for a relaxing getaway.
Nothing to complain about. everything was well taken care of!
From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and always made us feel welcome. The atmosphere of the place was peaceful and rejuvenating — we especially loved how connected we felt to nature throughout our stay. It was an overall relaxing experience that left us refreshed and happy. We would definitely visit again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a serene and wholesome escape.
There really wasn't anything negative to mention. If we could suggest one small improvement, it would be to enhance the soundproofing of the rooms — just to make the experience even more tranquil.
Great price to value ratio. There really is a living & breathing jungle right outside your window, just as in the photos.
This place is beautiful, clean with Super friendly stuff in very quiet place. Highly recommended.
perfect in every way, modern, clean, well equipped, cozy, kind service. best stay in sri lanka so far.
nothing
I had an amazing stay at this hotel with my family! The room was spotlessly clean. The staff's hospitality was exceptional, making us feel welcome and cared for throughout our visit. I highly recommend this hotel for a memorable family getaway!
Peaceful area. Clean rooms and friendly staff
Can upgrade their breakfast menu.
Beautiful location with equally beautiful team members who welcomed me like family!
I loved everything!
Really enjoyed the stay. Room was very comfy and very much new and clean. The host was very kind and attentive . As the place was recently build the material was high quality and value for money is really good. And also need to add something about bookshelf, We spent time reading the books and that was really nice too And the sound of river flowing that we could hear in the morning was also relaxing
Nothing much.
The whole property is new and modern.The room including the bathroom, bedsheets and even the dining area also super clean. we felt like at home. The host also friendly and supportive. A beautiful environment. the price also fair.everything is excellent than we expected.highly recommended.
Excellent and calm place to stay. Environment was nice and staff also very friendly and supportive,highly recommended.
Better than we thought About location, room and others. Excellent services ❤️👍🏻
We were warmly welcomed upon arrival. The people were so friendly. The hotel is definitely worth the price, especially with its beautiful forest and the river view, which truly live up to its name. We particularly enjoyed watching the rain from our room, creating a cozy atmosphere. Additionally, the morning tea was delightful. Overall, it was a lovely experience, and we look forward to returning! ❤️
A really nice place, kind people and a good price🤩
To be warmly welcomed To the loving treat
There was nothing to dislike
The warm welcome The excellent standards of the room/lodge itself Very clean and neat The view
We were waken up by the traffic and mosque which you wouldn’t except there but is just a minor remark
The view was exceptional. Everything was clean and new. We were given traditional cake with tea at check in. Our host was kind and supportive.
We love the location which is super calm and relaxing. The morning view was absolutely stunning with the bird singing and the calmness with the sound of flowing of water. The room was so clean and comfortable. We spent time reading the books and the place where the bookshelf has been arranged is very nice and relaxing.
Nothing.
The hotel has recently opened and is completely new. Beautifully located out of Kandy center with a view on the forest and the sound of the creek seeping into the room. Me and a friend are travelling with our own transport which makes the hotel easily accessible with parking in front, but I believe a bus stops nearby. The room is of amazing quality, with AC, a fan, kettle, hot water, a wide balcony and fireflies can be seen at night flying around in the forest. The owner and staff are incredibly kind and caring, we felt right at home and booked three more nights. This is by far, truly by far, the best hotel where we have stayed during a month trip to Sri Lanka on a medium budget and I can highly recommend it to anyone!
Absolutely nothing.
We recently stayed at Forest Face Lodge and had a wonderful experience. It is situated in a calm environment with a great view and perfect for a relaxing getaway. The parking was easily accessible. Our room was comfortable and clean. We were particularly impressed with the spacious and spotless bathroom, which had ample hot water. The staff were friendly and accommodating, ensuring that we had everything we needed. Food can be arranged upon request, adding to the convenience of our stay. Overall, it's great value for money and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat.
