    Some essential items like towals, spoons were not available on time when we checked in but upon request they provided. Some staff were little nervous with their work. But overall the service was satisfied.

    Location was very convenient and eye catching. Rooms were so spacious and comfortable. Breakfast buffet was very good. The location is a good option for family stay.

    Foods are very limited, even though the hotel staff arranged buffet but the options are very limited. Pool and other facilities are a bit okay but there’s a lot of room for improvement. There’s a lot of insects and bugs in front of the room. We faced a 3hr power outage because the hotel wanted to do maintenance which is a huge drawback. We are forced to checkout early due to the power outage.

    It’s located in very peaceful environment.

    There was a water leaking tap inside bathroom. Bathroom fittings also seems to be not the high quality ones.. Conditioner bottle and shampoo bottles were half way filled.. Hot water facility was not functioning well..

    Buffet breakfast was really met out expectations. Solar power panels were seen.. Surrounding area also they tried to maintain well..

    Lack of furniture in the room (only 1 chair for 2 adults & 1 kid). Better to add clothes hanging rack to the room.

    Nice view of balcony. Nice environment.

    The staff did not inform us that they had changed their checkout time to 11 am until the last moment. They stated that they have informed booking.com to change it, and also stated that it has not yet changed.

    The location, the environment and the comfortable rooms with a private jacuzzi which was a big plus. We enjoyed the boat ride (charged Rs.1000 per ride). Lastly, there was a good amount of variety for the dinner and breakfast buffet, and the taste was also on par.

    Bathrooms design. Deluxe room bathroom is not separated or partitioned from toilet so toilet becomes so wet if you take a shower.

    Friendly staff and way above average service. Delicious food and many varieties to choose from.

    Bathrooms, dinner and the room furniture plus staff knowledge. Bathrooms - was huge and spacious, but the shower area no proper drainage therefore the whole bathroom got wet after the shower is used. Can be a risk as slippery due to soap and shampoo. Dinner and breakfast buffets - very limited food, not many options. Room furniture - no chairs inside the room or any towel racks or hangers Except for 1 staff member, the rest of the staff seemed new and not much knowledge of general info of the hotel. We spoke in Sinhalese, and still we felt there were a language barrier. The staff require training. There were power cuts in one building, which made it hard as we had 1 family travelling with a 2-month-old baby.

    The lake, pool and view. Loved waking up in the morning to the sounds of birds chirping.

    The rooms could have been cleaned better. The hot water was not always available. Our bathroom door couldn’t be closed. The buffet could have more variety. We stayed three nights and after two nights we went out for dinner for some variety. The food was ok, not great.

    Such an amazing location by a reservoir with beautiful views. The hotel is well built with quality facilities but not maintained. The staff were very friendly, and went out of their way to accommodate our requests. With proper management this hotel can become a top quality hotel. It’s sad to see such well built facilities going to waste due to poor maintenance and unprofessional management. Good value for money though.

    In general it looks everithing is not properly mantained.

    The breakfast was poor/average. In general the fotos where much better than reallity. I think it requires a renewal and better maintnance.
