The Hideaway

Het zwembad zag er prachtig uit en het ontbijt was goed!

Je word er een beetje verplicht om avond te eten, dit is zeer prijzig, maar je kunt niet echt anders. Er is namelijk niets in de buurt. 2500 per persoon, hier komt drinken nog bij.

It was an extraordinary stopover on our way to Sigiriya. A beautiful little paradise, perfect for slowing down and truly unwinding. We would have loved to stay longer!

It was clean and had a really nice pool. The owner is friendly and gave us a very interesting tour around the huge garden.

It’s a bit difficult to get there as it’s not in a city (which we knew beforehand) but it was possible to get there as we drove our own tuktuk.

La gentillesse du personnel, le site en lui même. La cuisine, le petit déjeuner est incroyable !

Rien, l’emplacement n’a pas forcément été facile à trouvé mais à la décharge du site, le chemin classique était coupé car en travaux.,

El lugar es un paraíso y el personal muy amable.

De gastvrijheid en een mooie accommodatie midden in de natuur.

My second stay at the Hideaway. Beautiful, relaxing. Wish I had more time, its the perfect place to unwind.

El espacio es maravilloso

Difícil acceso, la carretera estaba cortada y el alojamiento no lo comunicó

Wir haben auf unserer Reise von Negombo nach Sigiriya hier einen Zwischenstopp eingelegt. Das Zimmer war sehr geräumig und sauber. Die Inhaber dieser Unterluft sind sehr sehr freundlich und können gut englisch sprechen. Die Unterluft liegt sehr abgelegen. Da in der näheren Umgebung keine Einkaufsmöglichkeiten oder Restaurants sind, haben wir für das Abendessen das Angebot der Unterkunft genutzt und bekamen eine große Portion gebratenen Reis mit Hähnchen und Gemüse. Es war sehr lecker. Die Unterkunft bietet ein tolles Gelände mit vielen Bäumen und Früchten. Der Pool war sauber. Für einen Zwischenstopp ist diese Unterkunft super geeignet. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen.

The hideaway was an amazing experience hidden away slightly in the mountain side. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating and very helpful from the moment we booked. The host contacted us on whatsapp as soon as we booked to let us know one of the local roads was blocked and to take a different route to the hotel.

So sad to have only spent 1 night in such a beautiful spot. Comfortable, clean, friendly - ultimate relaxation

Vi blev taget imod af Srimal, manageren, som hele vores ophold tog sig godt af os. Vi var ude på tur hvor vi så et gammelt buddhistist tempel ude i skoven. Vi fik lov til at smage en masse frisk frugt fra hotellets store have, hvor Srimal også viste os rundt. Maden var også helt vidunderlig, og frisklavet af cashews og andre ting fra haven.

Best location in the middle of the forest, the staff was so nice

Amazing place with the most amazing staff. I had the pleasure of staying here for a week and it was such a relaxing time. Perfect for a getaway in nature.

Sher shöne Location.ich und mein Mann war sher glücklich . Mitarbeiter war sher sher net.so Leib ❤️❤️

Mensen en de locatie

Personeel is super!

Het zwembad is kleiner dan het lijkt op de foto’s.

Me encantó

Příjemné prostředí 😃

Fue nuestro primer hotel en Sri Lanka antes de continuar hacia Sigiriya y la verdad es que fue una primera noche perfecta después de un vuelo largo. La cama era súper cómoda y el hotel es muy bonito. Nos gustó mucho también el desayuno, con opciones locales muy buenas. El personal fue increíblemente amable en todo momento. Además, el entorno es precioso, ya que el hotel está totalmente rodeado de naturaleza, lo que lo hace muy especial. La piscina también es un gran plus para relajarse.

Todo estuvo bien

Iocation

Sustainable. Completely out of the way , pool was private and peaceful location. The food was fresh and staff friendly.

It was perfect for recharging after lots of walking

Top-Destination!! Ein Kleinod mitten im Dschungel, mit Pool. Wir haben eine Nacht verlängert, weil wir vollauf begeistert waren von dieser Anlage!! Srimal ist ein freundlicher hilfsbreiter Typ, welcher uns in allen Belangen unterstützte und verwöhnte. Sollten wir Sri Lanka erneut bereisen, würden wir The Hidaway mit Sicherheit wieder buchen. Absolut empfehlenswert!

De prachtige ligging.

Het feit dat het wel wat achteraf was en vanwege een wegafsluiting het dus echt wel drie kwartier (met TukTuk) duurde voor je in de “bewoonde wereld” was (lees restaurantjes e.d.). Bad in badkamer was ook kapot, dat was minder en vergt onderhoud.

Prachtige locatie, zeer behulpzaam en vriendelijk personeel. Ook fijn dat de keuken, tegen een kleine vergoeding, te gebruiken is.

Nous avons adoré notre petit passage dans ce champs de cocotier. En nous baignant dans la piscine, nous avons eu la chance de voir quelques singes. Le dîner et le petit déjeuner étaient tous deux excellents. En lieu calme et reposant, je recommande pour les amateurs de nature.

En Srimal és molt atent, ens ha cuidat molt des del minut 0 que hem arribat. Molt bon servei i amabilitat, ens ha ofert un tour pel garden i ens ha explicat tota la varietat d’arbres i plantes que tenen allí i com preparen el àpats. El lloc és molt tranquil i acollidor, ho recomanem 100% per qui vingui a Sri Lanka i busqui un lloc a la natura aïllat de la ciutat. Moltissimes gràcies

Onwijs vriendelijk ontvangen door de Junior Manager Srimal. Hij heeft me een uitgebreide rondleiding gegeven door de tuin en alle vruchten, kruiden en specerijen laten proeven die daar groeien. Bijzondere ervaring.

Ik was die dag de enige gast dus erg rustig. Ook wel fijn, maar net wat je zoekt.

The place has good potential, but it needs better management / staff training. Also, the building itself is still under construction on some parts, and overall, it just feels unfinished. If you pay close attention to their main image of the building on their Google page, you will notice it is a digital rendition, not an actual photo.

I have been traveling in Sri Lanka for close to 9 months over the past year or so. This is by far the worst experience I have had at a hotel / guesthouse. This is mainly due to the bad attitude of the manager who accused me of being an inconvenience when I pointed out things like a broken tap, asking for the wifi, or enquiring about when the loud generator right next to my room would stop for the night in order to get some sleep. When I invited him at breakfast to talk through our differences so that we could part ways in peace, he refused, accused me of breaking the tap (when i was clearly eroded and broken prior to arrival - i took photos), and ask me to leave by 9:30 at the latest, even though check out was at 11am (as per booking.com). I didn't even mention to him the leaking toilet, broken bath floor, and bathroom towel railing (all of which I took photos of). Also at breakfast the other guests had extra slices of fruit such as watermelon and pineapple, which they did not serve to me even after I asked - I clearly had a very basic breakfast compared to the other guests, and I am sure this was just a power move by the manager to make me feel even more unwelcome. After leaving, the manager sent me nasty whatsapp messages about how he never wishes to see me again...wt actual f? I have taken screenshots of these and will be sharing with booking.com. I am disappointed by how this was handled and how I was treated - a property with similar issues, with a different response and action from the manager, would still have been acceptable. But the manager's actions made me feel unwelcome, uneasy and unsafe. I can not recommend this property to other users. STAY AWAY!

Great place to stay, good breakfast and nice surroundings. The host is very responsible as he keep on updating our movement underway to the place. We were cycling and arrived a little bit late for check-in as in about 8pm. We were informed that the AC was not working earlier however the room is okay with fan. Other than that the balcony is amazing place to chill with greenish view. Overall is Okay.

All good

This place is an oasis of calmness and tranquility, close to Kurunegala. Nice and spaceous rooms, wonderful food and lovely staff. There is also a swimming pool, which is great to cool off. The gardens around the villa are beautiful and full of fruit, which is served during breakfast.

We don’t have anything we didn’t like.

Fantastic place and amazing way to reach resort.

Surroundings of resort, pool, built and greenery

Una villa preciosa en medio de la naturaleza. Hemos estado muy agusto. Muy limpio. El personal super amable y encantador!

El anfitrión de 10. Muy servicial y pendiente de que estuviéramos bien todo el rato. El sitio es espectacular en medio de la selva.

La cama no era muy cómoda.

The Hideaway is the perfect place to stay! The house and premises are beautiful, quiet and peaceful. We had our own TukTuk so it didn’t bother us that it’s a bit further out. Samantha, his wife and employees were super friendly and helpful. He showed us around his garden and explained all about the different plants, we ate fresh fruit straight from the tree and picked a watermelon and coconut to have for breakfast. Breakfast and dinner were freshly prepared and absolutely delicious. Before leaving, we were even allowed to plant a coconut tree. Playing badminton underneath palm trees was also a fantastic experience! Samantha also helped us plan a two day hiking tour for the next day which was a great and unexpected add-on to our trip! Communication was very easy, both via WhatsApp and in person.

Unfortunately there was a problem with the swimming pool while we were there and the team of the Hideaway tried everything to fix it. Since we only stayed for one night, they couldn’t resolve it fast enough. However, the stay was still perfect and Samantha and his team made up for it in every way possible!

Beautiful garden, beautiful pool :) Srimal is very helpful and nice host. He prepared very tasty breakfasts and juices from fresh fruits. He showed us his garden full of fruits that they grow themselves. We highly recommend.

Beautifully designed, laid out and finished. Gorgeous setting in the forest and the pool was fantastic. Food was delicious and very generous. Srimal made us feel very welcome and really went to great lengths to make our stay enjoyable, it’s a long way from town but absolutely worth it. The burned cashews are an experience!

Nothing

Very nice accommodation in the middle of the jungle in a beautifully decorated house. The swimming pool is also an added value. The owner and all the staff were great hosts. A great dinner and breakfast. We also planted trees in their garden before leaving. I recommend.

It’s locate in a very nice environment and nature friendly

The location was ideal for me as an avid amateur bird & nature photographer. I loved the feel of almost being in a jungle. The food prepared was excellent. Staff were really helpful and the Owner (Dr) was an exceptionally kind and thoughtful man.

Sad to say squeaky bed. But I’m sure that’s on the list of things to repair.

The service was excellent. The manager went out of his way to accomodate me.The meals were very good. The bed was comfortable. Very quiet.

The pool was out of commission and the hot/cold water did not mix. The place is still under construction.

The beautiful surroundings, comfortable rooms, really kind staff.

The road to and from was a bit rough, but we managed :)
