Beautiful accommodation with very friendly and helpful staff. The pool was exceptional and nice and cool, compared to the many tepid ones we have experienced throughout Sri Lanka.
We had the room closest to the driveway and the neighbours, so we could hear loud music playing which wasn’t ideal, considering we were in an otherwise beautifully peaceful environment. I recommend asking for a room closer to the pool.
Todo, esta muy bien el hotel y todo el personal muy agradable.
En nuestra estancia estuvimos con dos familis y con niños, por lo que no se estaba tranquilo en la piscina
Nice and quiet out of the way. Felt like we were in the jungle.
We only stayed for one night so no issues but if we’d been there longer it was not near anything else unless you got a car or tuk tuk
We stayed at Kuwera Eco Lodge for four nights with our two children, aged 6 and 8, and it was without a doubt our favourite place we stayed during our trip to Sri Lanka. The setting is absolutely beautiful and so peaceful. Our lodge was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing family stay. The pool was wonderful and quickly became a favourite with the children. They also absolutely loved the treehouse, which became the perfect spot for pre-dinner games and drinks – such a lovely and unique touch. But what really made Kuwera so special was the staff. They were genuinely wonderful – attentive, friendly, incredibly helpful and so accommodating. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. We felt so well looked after throughout our stay. I am coeliac, so eating safely while travelling can sometimes be challenging, but the team at Kuwera were exceptional. They took my dietary requirements seriously, were incredibly careful and went out of their way to make sure I was safe and well catered for. The food was also genuinely amazing – some of the best food we had during our entire trip. It was wonderful to be able to relax and enjoy meals knowing that everything had been carefully considered. Kuwera Eco Lodge is a really special place. Beautiful surroundings, fantastic food, a wonderful pool, a brilliant family atmosphere and, above all, a team of people who clearly care about their guests. We absolutely loved our stay and would return in a heartbeat. I would highly recommend Kuwera Eco Lodge to families looking for somewhere peaceful, beautiful and genuinely welcoming in Sri Lanka.
We had a wonderful stay at this hotel and highly recommend it if you are looking for peace, tranquility, and an authentic Sri Lankan experience. The spacious bungalows are set in beautiful, tranquil gardens, and the lovely swimming pool was the perfect place to unwind. The food was a true highlight of our trip; both breakfast and dinner are a special part of the hotel culture here and absolutely delicious. From the moment we were greeted at the airport by our driver, Malan, the staff were incredibly professional, friendly, and welcoming. A special shoutout to Ruvin, who went above and beyond to make it possible for us to watch the World Cup during breakfast and his attention to detail! The head receptionist was also fantastic, seamlessly sorting out our onward transport and arranging drivers whenever we needed them. Location-wise, it’s ideally situated—just a pleasant 20-minute cycle into the village. The only minor thing that would have made our stay absolutely perfect would be having bikes with working gears. Overall, a brilliant stay with wonderful hospitality. We would definitely return!
Le surclassement, l'accueil irréprochable, les petits déjeuners et le service de qualité, le lieu, la qualité des produits, le silence, les ecureuils.... TOUT
Rien
mooi zwembad, we verbleven in het traditioneel huis ( uit klei opgetrokken)… ‘s avonds is er een menu beschikbaar… lokaal maar verfijnd voor goede prijs, drank is wel aan dure kant… ook ontbijt was lekker met lokale gerechten. Personeel doet zijn uiterste best om het je naar je zin te maken.
we wilden fietsen gebruiken maar deel bleek stuk waardoor we maar met 2 ( ipv 5) de buurt zijn kunnen gaan verkennen. Ook waren ze aan het werken aan yoga/meditatiehut waardoor er geen yoga was. Opgelet: Taxen zijn niet in prijs inbegrepen en zijn heel erg hoog ( goed kijken naar de kleine letters onderaan prijsberekening)
Very tranquil
It was all lovely
The food was lovely & presented well We pretty much had the whole facilities to ourselves and the staff were very accommodating
Choice of drinks was limited
Outstanding team, excellent restaurant, very nice pool, comfortable rooms, very clean establishment, we loved it!
Nothing we didn't like
Staff were very friendly and very helpful, and kind Close to both rocks to climb. They arrange transport and catered for Us being Vegan and vegetarians . The villa was beautiful clean and the pool was perfect !
Lage, sehr nettes und hilfsbereites Personal, ruhig, sauber
Alles war sehr gut
Very nice and friendly staff. Close to what we were in the area for (Pidurangala/Sigiriya). The pool looked great however it rained most of the time we were there and the water was very cold when it wasn't raining! Some of the food was great.
Maybe it was because of the rain but our whole room was damp. The bed was damp and all of our belongings were damp by the time we left. The bed was very uncomfortable. The massage we had wasn't great - the shirodhara smelled like burnt oil and made my hair feel awful afterwards - the spa was very expensive for what it was. Most of the food was nice but it wasn't made clear that we were being charged for dinners until we checked out and they were on the bill. Until then I just assumed I'd booked a room that included meals.
This place is already a paradise because of the natural beauty and peaceful vibe. But what made our experience truly memorable is your staff. Every single person from the manager to the staff, made us feel special every single moment and the service we received was even better than a five star hotel. We are leaving sad but also happy because we know we will come back.
not much options in the food menu but food was really tasty and traditional
Beautiful location, rooms were really nice. Great food, very friendly and helpful staff.
We really enjoyed the beautiful location and the way the lodges were integrated into the trees. We also loved rthe breakfast and the dinner and the very he;pful staff.
The setting is perfect for people wanting peace and seclusion but still only a 10 minute drive or 30 minute cycle (using Kuwera’s rudimentary bikes, which we enjoyed very much!) from the main town. The cottages are set sympathetically in the trees surrounding the pool and restaurant area, and we found our cabin (for 4 people) to be very comfortable with a lovely bathroom and outdoor shower, not something we’ve had before! The pool, surrounded by a canopy of trees and wooden cabanas, was a perfect place to relax. The staff were without exception courteous and welcoming. Breakfast was varied and very tasty and we enjoyed our evening meals, vegetarian rice and curry, with no two dishes the same on either occasion. Very good indeed!
Emplacement dans la campagne au milieu des arbres. Pas un bruit. Personnel à l'écoute. Belle chambre. Repas délicieux à l'hôtel
Cet hôtel mérite un lit de meilleure qualité.
C’est un véritable havre de paix, en pleine nature au milieu de la faune et de la flore, un repos absolu Nous avons aimé la gentillesse du personnel toujours aux petits soins, le petit déjeuner excellent et copieux et les repas servis très variés et goûtus Encore un grand merci à toute l’équipe pour l’accueil chaleureux

As usual in Sri Lanka, the people are very friendly
Food was almost without any spices (I guess made for majority of western tourists). Entire premise and espcially the rooms was all a bit too dark and unfortunately no view Very remotely - you need to have a driver to get away (which is not unimportant as food is not good and you cannot walk on the road by yourself in the night as you are basically next to jungle and snakes/elephants are crossing the road)
Really cute place, nice breakfast and good value for money.
Amazing spot with outstanding staff! Nothing was too much trouble; Kasuni on reception organised a last minute Loris viewing trip when we couldn’t find a space online. She also sorted out our transport to local sights. Ruvin was a perfect waiter and the food was absolutely delicious; some of the best we had in Sri Lanka. Our compliments to Asela the chef. The cabins are rustic with 5 star service and food.

El personal muy bueno y muy atento y las instalaciones también muy buenas
El menú de la cena, cerrado, me pareció escaso de cantidad y mejorable
L’accueil et la gentillesse du personnel L’ambiance eco lodge
A very beautiful place with nice swimming pool. Very helpful staff and we could use the bicycles from the Lodge for sight seringen in the area.
Die Anlage ist sehr schön, das Personal sehr freundlich und das Essen abends landestypisch und lecker. Die Möglichkeit für Massagen, Dampfbäder usw. ist eine angenehme Option.
Das Preisniveau ist relativ hoch für Sri Lanka. Mir hat die abgelegene Lage mitten im Wald gut gefallen; wer aber andere Ausgehmöglichkeiten sucht, braucht ein Fahrzeug.
Lovely peaceful setting - lush and leafy, with an attractive restaurant/bar at the centre, a very nice pool and the sound of birds everywhere. The staff were very friendly - they gave us a warm welcome with a good briefing about the surroundings and lodge, the restaurant/bar man was so helpful and hardworking, there from morning to night and explaining each and every dish to us, and the lodge has a good sustainability ethos (with fresh filtered water rather than plastic). We also had a nice tour of the organic farm at the back, with a lady who spoke very good English, and the farmer made us corn he had harvested that morning - a nice touch. The food is good - it is a set menu without choice, but we liked that as it kept things simple and we are very happy with the local food. All in all we really liked this place.
The beds were a bit too soft and squishy, which is a pity as everything else was so perfect. I do suggest the management invest in new beds and then I would have given 10/10.
Kuwera Eco Lodge has a beautiful jungle setting and is a smaller property with excellent personalized service. The accommodations are private and comfortable.
Nothing
Made welcome from the minute we arrived. Treated ourselves to a gorgeous massage and reflexology session that afternoon. The food and breakfasts were delicious with something different everyday. The staff went above and beyond everyday to make our stay memorable - thank you everyone:-)
The site is outside of the main town of sygiria but there are taxis and tuk tuks available to get you to all the sites.
The beautiful setting Individual lodges Friendly and helpful staff Great food Spa massage / yoga
Loved the tree top area to have drinks but the furniture was a little tired
Die Lodge ist sehr schön und gepflegt,das Personal sehr freundlich. Die Lodge ist abseits,man braucht für alles einen Fahrer.Dieser wird von der Lodge organisiert. Super Pool der jeden Tag gereinigt wird.

Location is great, in the jungle. Really calm and you can here all the animals during the night. To sleep is exceptionnel. A haven of peace.
There was a weird smell, we tried to get it out with incense for 2 days, but nothing worked. We signaled multiple times to staff but they not really did something. The smell got in our clothes and bags so we need to wash everything after. Also the prices of the minibar are more expensive then in Europe. During the day you can get a juice wich will be 4 Times the price of all nearby restaurants. To eat in the evening is also expensive and too be honest not really good. We ate one time and regretted not going to the local restaurant.
Very nice location, excellent service, staff is very courteous and welcoming
We stayed three nights at Kuwera Eco Lodge and, from the moment we arrived, every staff member we met was friendly and attentive and seemed to take real pride in their work. We stayed in the Traditional House with its simple design and atmosphere, where the outdoor shower was stunning. There’s a strong sense of being in nature rather than just looking at it: birdsong, rustling leaves, that earthy jungle stillness that makes you wriggle out of the grasp of routine. The food was excellent throughout—fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and consistently satisfying. One highlight was the Ayurvedic massage with a closing steam bath, set beside the jungle. The setting made it a heavenly experience. For those after ab eco-lodge where comfort, kindness and the natural world feel seamlessly connected, Kuwera Eco Lodge delivers.
Nothing bad to report.
La struttura, il ristorante e lo staff. Bisogna tener presente che la struttura è davvero in mezzo alla giungla quindi è difficile pretendere di più... qualche animaletto lo si troverà sempre ma è giusto così

The staff was incredibly kind and very helpful. The lodge is in a quiet area in the forest. Everything is done with care and attention to detail.
So far off, we did not even have good mobile data, making it hard to arrange PickMe/Uber pickups and WiFi was flaky in the bedroom.
Full of character, sympathetically built in traditional style, boutique feel. A real gem of a place. About 10 mins drive from the main village and Lion’s Rock! Very attentive staff, who helped us with local taxis & onward transfers, but also sharing information whilst we were deciding what to do after the cyclone had hit the country. Incredibly helpful. We also all had the wonderful massage and steam room experience - would recommend!
Only a small issue, but no WiFi in the room
The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The room was neat and tidy with an aircon and hot shower.
The room had little privacy from the main dining area. The cost was a bit high for what you got.
Mooie huisjes Super goed ontbijt Heel gastvrij personeel
Het ligt vrij afgelegen
Staff is amazing. Rooms are very clean, very comfortable, good beds, nice linen, good air conditioning. We had a minor issue with our rooms and were moved to another bungalow. Meals are good, plentiful, and made to order. Staff helped us to arrange excursions to area UNESCO heritage sites as well as an elephant safari with good drivers. Massage was amazing. Pool is beautiful.
WiFi is a bit spotty but understandable as you are literally in the jungle and close to an elephant preserve....but still able to communicate with outside world pretty well.
We loved the resort feeling of the property. The staff were unbelievable friendly and helpful. Food was fabulous and the bar was well run too.
Zowel de Lodge, de locatie als het personeel waren perfect. Ook zeer netjes, leuk zwembad en lekker eten.
Niets.
Sehr versteckt
Auswahl Abendessen
Warm welcome Beautiful setup, garden, pool, restaurant. Good quality internet in the common premises Location close to the main sights
No Wifi in the rooms. Meals very expensive with no reason, very good curries similar to what you can have for several times less. Lunch snack very basic. Location remote in a dead end so fully dependent upon the hotel services only. Mosquito net had holes. Small things were to be fixed when we checked in (power outlet, sink, lamp) that would have been easy to check, but they were very reactive. All this shouldn't hamper the fact that the resort is really nice and we had a good time there despite the heavy rains.
De wifi maar daar was ik al voor gewaarschuwt.
Schöne Anlage inmitten der Natur. Sehr freundliches Personal
Wir wohnten im November bei teils heftigem Regen in den vollständig aus Beton gebauten Häusern. Auf Grund der geschlossen gehaltenen Fenster (Mückenschutz) trockneten weder Handtücher noch Kleidung.
Tout. Lieu très agréable et décoré avec goût.personnel très professionnel.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful location, the hotel was very accommodating and Marlin our driver from the hotel was wonderful and very informative on every journey he took us on.
The facilities at Kuwera are superb - we really enjoyed the pool, Ayurvedic treatments and our cabin. The staff went out of their way to help us. It was the perfect base for our trip to Sigirya and Pidurangala.
Nothing - our stay was perfect.
We loved their farm, walks, the peacefulness, the ayurvedic massage and steam. We loved our friendly and attentive the staff were. We were greeted so warmly and the trip just got better from that moment onwards.
Nothing, it was perfect
The property was nice with trees and a pool. The food was good - although portions were very big! - and the rooms were spacious. Most of the staff were really friendly and helpful. You will see bird and insect life at the property - bring mosquito repellant!
The property was quite far out of the Sigiriya township, meaning you are quite reliant on the hotel to drive you around, unless you’ve organised your own transport.
Un havre de paix situé près de Sigiriya. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié le calme du lodge, en pleine nature. Il y a environ 10 chambres réparties dans des maisonnettes indépendantes autour de la piscine, donnant un esprit assez confidentiel. Nous avons également apprécié les dîners mettant à l'honneur la cuisine sri-lankaise (menu unique changeant quotidiennement). Nous avons apprécié l'accueil et la bienveillance des équipes du lodge.. Nous recommandons à 100% Kuwera Eco Lodge !
Beau cadre Belle piscine Petit hôtel respectueux de l’environnement Localisation centrale : Proche du Sigiriya et du rocher du lion Prochr de Dambulla Proche de Minneriya et de Polonnaruwa
Wir hatten für zwei Nächte ein sehr stilvolles, sauberes und geräumiges traditionelles Häuschen und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Kinder haben die Pool gefeiert. Die gesamte Anlage ist sehr gepflegt. Auch das angebotene Frühstück und Abendessen sind sehr gut!
Man muss wissen, dass darum herum nicht viel ist außer Wald und Feldern.
L accueil le service la qualite des repas la proprete les servuces proposes
Les bruits sur le toit la nuit Les chiens non alimentés qui sont chassés .
El hotel El muy bonito ubicación fuera de la ciudad con lo que necesitas transporte.La piscina comida y habitaciones muy bien .Organizar safari a Miniriya el cual fue espectacular también hacen masajes y tienen una sauna de vapor .Muy bien todo.
El no poder salir de la zona ya que esta apartado.
Unieke locatie in het groen en in een lokale 'gemeenschap'. Mooi zwembad, fijne en ruime huisjes, lekker eten en zeer vriendelijk personeel.
De wifi was matig, maar stiekem ook wel even lekker om 'verplicht' een digital detox te doen.
It’s traditional and sustainable presentation.
Nothing.
The unique aspect of being almost in a jungle yet having all the amenities of a hotel. The pool is great. The dinner is great. You will expect to encounter animals inside the vicinity such as squirrels, birds, dogs even a small white snake I saw, but that is part of the experience. The staff are very attentive. My favorite was the outdoor shower! The tree house is amazing for an evening!
Nothing specific. Feedback for improvement, there was a big cockroach in the room when we entered. And bare in mind that you need a car transportation to get to the hotel because its not close to main roads.
Tucked away in a lovely jungle setting, this peaceful retreat offers a truly relaxing atmosphere, with wildlife all around and the soothing sounds of nature while sitting in the garden or by the pool. We received a warm welcome, and the traditional family-style house was charming, with comfortable beds, tea and coffee facilities, and a refreshing outdoor shower. The breakfast was delicious, especially the mixed fruit platter, and although the Sri Lankan buffet set menu was enjoyable for one evening, there weren’t many other dinner options—but overall, it was a great stay at a reasonable price.
Did not change the towels for the 3 days we were there. No choice of food options at night for dinner only the set menu - Sri Lankan curry.
A beautiful small scale place in the beautiful jungle in Sigiriya. Our stay in the traditional Sri Lankan house was great. So much nice atmosphere, comfortable and with tropical outdoor shower. The nicest and best qualified staff ever. Nice swimming pool and the kids loved the treehouse. And so much attention for nature, wildlife and sustainability. No green washing, but true intention for a better world.
Nothing not to like
The lodge has nice and komfortable rooms with a beautiful situated clean pool. You will miss nothing what you really need. It is a perfekt starting point to visit surrounding attractions like Sigiriya.
Nice place and super friendly staff
Beautiful eco hotel, amazing swimming pool and were treated to an upgrade with an outdoor shower which was very cool. Staff were so lovely.
We didn’t enjoy the suggested visit to the spice garden which the hotel driver took us to after a day trip elsewhere as it felt like a bit of a scam (we looked at google reviews afterwards which did back that up).
Felt like a special place where although giving all the holiday vibes you felt part of the surroundings/area in a less overly tourist way.
Its quite remote so talking a walk into the town isn't really viable a tuktuk is required.
Kuwera Lodge is a really wonderful place, beautifully designed, the pool is really nice, surrounded by trees. The buildings are beautiful, built in the traditional style, the family room was really comfortable and clean. And the whole place was so calm, friendly and amazing, especially due to the staff and owners! From the start we felt really welcome with a warm greeting, excellent garlic tea (wow!), wet towels and a personal instruction to the place, so welcoming from the start! Food was excellent. We really would have stayed longer and regretted having to leave.
Nothing! Just know that the place is a little out of town, but we found this really a plus.
The eco lodge is beautiful ! The manager supported us in organizing all or trip to Sigirya, she was perfect ! The food was AMAZING and I fully recommend the massage and steam bath.
Nothing
It is a nice haven in the jungle but with all the right facilities (even a bidet in the bathroom). Dinner was excellent. I had a massage with local steam bath: blissful! I would have spent more than one night for sure.
Nothing
Very relaxing
Better choice of food for lunch and dinner would add value
Just stunning! We stayed in the ‘traditional house’ (aka family bungalow on booking.com) - a fully sustainably made lodge using traditional methods to incredibly high standards inside. So clean, so well done and very well executed everywhere - loved it! The swimming pool was great for everyone and a decent depth. A really welcome break from the heat. We had a family massage that went surprisingly well! The kids had 30 mins each while adults did the full Ayurvedic thing for an hour - defo do this while staying - it’s a good price. Overall this was by far our best hotel in Sri Lanka and we wished we’d stayed longer!
Wider selection of alcohol if possible, but understand why not!
