Guter Curry bei rechtzeitiger Vorbestellung. Die Anfahrt von der Hauptstraße ist jetzt gut ausgeschildert.
Bier im Restaurant ist zu teuer. Die Anfahrt zum Hotel über Holperpiste.

Reviewed May 19, 2025The property is beautifully located right by the lake, with a lovely garden and a nice, clean pool. During our stay, we were the only guests, which made the experience feel very special and peaceful. The room was nicely decorated and the beds were comfortable. The staff was extremely polite and welcoming, making us feel well taken care of. A great place to relax and enjoy nature in a quiet setting – highly recommended overall!
The only thing we didn’t enjoy as much was the breakfast – it was very basic. Also, we were charged extra for tea and didn’t receive any other drink as part of the meal, which was disappointing.

Reviewed May 4, 2025The location is good. It is right next to the lake.
Food was very average. They don't accept credit cards.. but in all fairness it was mentioned while booking. The beds weren't very comfortable and the rooms weren't clean when we checked in. There were cobwebs

The location is absolutely breathtaking, with serene lake views that made my stay truly relaxing. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and went out of their way to ensure a comfortable experience. The facilities were top-notch, clean, and well-maintained. Whether you're visiting for leisure or a quiet getaway, I highly recommend this place. Thank you for such a memorable stay!

Reviewed Feb 4, 2025Great location with a stunning lake view
Our experience was disappointing as the pool was not cleaned upon arrival, frustrating our group. Despite mentioning tea-making items, they were not provided, and some rooms lacked bottled water. Additionally, at breakfast, only bottled water was served but charged separately without prior notice.

Reviewed Jan 5, 2025The location is stunning, overlooking a large lake and paddy fields, with lovely gardens and a nice pool. You can see Dambulla cave temples, and another beautiful Temple, There are parrots flying overhead. Beautiful! The staff and welcome was also great, they could not do enough to make our stay a good one. Rooms are large and clean Breakfast is huge (we had a smaller version and it was delicious)
I think the restaurant menu could be more Sri Lankan, and focus on excelling there rather than having a multinational. End, but that's my personal preference
