Heritance Kandalama
8.9 (309 reviews)

Heritance Kandalama ★★★★★

📍 Heritance Kandalama 11, Kandalama

"Beautiful resort. The decor in the rooms is a bit dated but authentic to the architect. Would like to see the rooms updated a bit but still 100% worth it and would stay here again as is."

Hotel Sigiriya
8.9 (182 reviews)

Hotel Sigiriya ★★★★

📍 Hotel Rd, Sigiriya

"1. The views from the hotel are first-class; you can see Sigiriya Rock right from the lobby. 2. The staff were also very polite. 3. The room layout was very strange; as soon as you opened the door, there was the bed. I finally managed to move the bed further inside, only to find it was directly facing a mirror. For those who don't mind, it's fine. 4. The breakfast was extremely unappetizing."

Clodagh Manor House by Seven Angels
10 (13 reviews)

Clodagh Manor House by Seven Angels ★★★

📍 CLODAGH WESTERN Estate, Matale

"One of those rare hotels that stay with you long after you leave. A colonial beauty that truly takes your breath away. The staff are a delight, the rooms are spotlessly clean and elegant. But it is the food that is truly superb. The chef is such a credit to the property and our evening meal at Clodagh was the highlight of our trip to Sri Lanka. Stunning views and an ambiance that takes you back in time. Thank you Clodagh for the most magical stay."

Amaya Lake Dambulla
8.9 (45 reviews)

Amaya Lake Dambulla ★★★★★

📍 Sigiriya, Kandalama

"It's a hotel with a touch of luxury. The environment is great! It's quite close to Sigiriya Rock. There were many European tour groups. You can tell it used to be quite luxurious. However, the rooms are really old, and the bathroom is a bit worn."

Walawwa Matale
8.3 (144 reviews)

Walawwa Matale ★★★

📍 CJQ7+3PM, Matale

"Very nice place with ample garden place. Children enjoyed it a lot. Definitely go again if we are going to Matale some day. Owner lady is really friends and helped us finding tuk tuk to visit all attractions. It was built in 1817 and having ancient sri lankan architecture which is really beautiful. Excellent location for budget travel."

The Paradise Dambulla
8.4 (62 reviews)

The Paradise Dambulla ★★★★★

📍 Kubukkadanwala, Dambulla

"The staff make this hotel. From our charming, attentive waiter Dananjaya who went out of his way to chat with us about the dishes we were eating to finding an elusive piece of chocolate fudge cake for me. The chef provide a feast every evening with plenty of choice for most people and diets. The reception staff and the customer relations ladies were delightful and couldn't do enough to help. We loved staying here."

Sigiriya Village
8.7 (67 reviews)

Sigiriya Village ★★★★★

📍 Hotel Rd, Sigiriya

"It has a colonial feel and is a bit dated. But the location is fantastic, practically in the middle of a forest.  There are many monkeys and other animals roaming around.   Rooms are large.  Food quality is on par for Sri Lanka. The staff are excellent, knowledgeable of attractions and helpfull arranging tours and taxis."

Aliya Resort and Spa - Thema Collection
9.3 (53 reviews)

Aliya Resort and Spa - Thema Collection ★★★★★

📍 Audangawa, Sigiriya, Matale

"Had a really nice stay at Aylia Resort & Spa. The place was clean, peaceful, and comfortable, and the overall atmosphere was very relaxing. The staff were friendly and helpful, which made the stay even better. A great place to stay if you’re visiting Sigiriya and want somewhere quiet and comfortable to come back to after exploring. I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend it."

Heritance Kandalama ★★★★★
"Nestled amidst Sri Lanka's lush jungle landscape, Heritance Kandalama offers an unparalleled retreat that seamlessly integrates with its natural surroundings. From the moment we arrived, the reception staff provided a warm and professional welcome, setting the tone for an exceptional stay. The hotel's architectural design, a masterpiece by Geoffrey Bawa, is both innovative and environmentally conscious, blending modern luxury with the beauty of the natural environment. Our room featured panoramic views of the Kandalama Reservoir, allowing us to wake up to the serene sights and sounds of nature. The property boasts three distinct swimming pools, including an infinity pool that appears to merge with the lake, offering breathtaking vistas. Dining at Heritance Kandalama is a culinary delight. The Kanchana Restaurant offers an extensive buffet with a variety of Sri Lankan and international dishes, all while providing panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Throughout our stay, the staff consistently demonstrated attentiveness and professionalism, ensuring that every aspect of our visit was comfortable and memorable. Heritance Kandalama is more than just a hotel; it's an experience that celebrates the harmony between luxury and nature."

Hotel Sigiriya ★★★★
"When searching for a hotel before our trip, we stumbled upon this place and fell in love with it instantly, despite the price. After checking in, we realized that this location is absolute perfection: completely secluded yet within walking distance to both Lion Rock and Pidurangalla Rock. There are plenty of cafés and even gastropubs nearby, the grounds are impeccably clean and well-maintained, and the view of Lion Rock from the pool is simply breathtaking."

Clodagh Manor House by Seven Angels ★★★
"We spent one night luxuriating at Clodagh Manor House. Nalinda, the manager made sure everything was perfect during our stay. We were lucky to manage a short swim and relaxing at the pool as well as go around their property to visit the plantations and the crops. They will prepare the food items you would like once you confirm the bookings. The meals are served with care and on time."

Walawwa Matale ★★★
"Issue when checking out (family tried to say we didn't pay, had some issue with trip.com - had to call the company to work out the dispute). Also we were awoken at 2am by the hosts randomly choosing to loudly play music outside out window. In addition, only one very thin sheet was given (not sufficient for the nighttime temperature)."
