One of the most amazing properties i have stayed at. Both Bandhara and Madu, the butler and chef, were amazing. They were attentive, responsive and spot on..great work guys..very impressed.
The property does full justice to the $. The location, the chants from the Buddhist temple in the valley create the utmost serene atmosphere. Every amenity is top end and every detail looked after. Will visit again for sure and will highly recommend..cheers

小型酒店，環境不錯，服务态度也好。早歺根据菜单也可洞整，量夠大。美中不足洗澡水太小。

A wonderful place, amazing staff and beautiful view. Unfortunately we only stayed one night but it was absolute lovely. We traveled with our two girls, aged 8 and 5, and the family room with a bunk-bed was excellent. The food was also amazing, one of the best hotels we have stayed at. Thank you very much

We absolutely adored our couple of days at this hotel as part of our honeymoon. It’s a stunning location, with infinity pool, beautiful outdoor dining, comfortable/luxurious accommodation and friendly, helpful staff. We found a bottle of wine in our room to congratulate us on our honeymoon, which was lovely. We were asked to select our meal choices so that fresh ingredients could be sourced that day for our meals. Nothing was too much trouble for the team here, and we definitely want to go back!

Firstly I must commend the chef Tyronne who created the most delicious dinner we have had so far in Sri Lanka. The beetroot and apple warm soup was a wonderful start to the 3 course set menu. Our room is exquisite with a balcony overlooking the pool with the valley below. The original home has been gloriously restored and the extension thoughtfully designed to complement the existing residence. If boutique is what you desire, then The Elephant Stables will be just perfect and an experience you will treasure.

We stayed two nights at Elephant Stables and had an excellent experience. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home from the start. The service was personal and thoughtful throughout our stay. The food was a real highlight fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care using local market ingredients. Every meal was a delight. Overall, a fantastic stay that exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kandy.
