This stay was a real treat, we loved it. The location was perfect for us and the accommodation is set in beautiful lush surroundings right on the river. The rooms were spacious and common areas very well done. Relaxing on the balcony with the river was just wonderful. Highly recommend this place, the food was so amazing we ate every meal here, they arranged our outings for us, we had so much fun white water rafting, canyoning and abseiling waterfalls and the staff were very attentive and friendly. Swimming in the river was better than any pool.

The view was exceptional. The property was clean and the fridge in the lounge well stocked. We weee able to what’s app the owner and request the type of drinks we wanted. The rafting and canyoning were amazing. All organised and tuk tuk to pick us up at the time we wanted. Flexible- we originally booked for 9.30 but they were happy to make it 11.30 so we could relax in the morning after a long flight the day before. The staff were so helpful. The breakfast is plentiful. After the first breakfast we were asked if we wanted anything in particular the next day. We just had the same but you could easily request more or less of certain foods. We had lunch in a restaurant after the rafting but otherwise ate on the hotel. Was perfect for us and 2 adult children who had their own room and bathroom. I would highly recommend this hotel. The balcony was gorgeous.

The shower water was hot but the breaker went out a few times, which caused it to turn cold. Otherwise all good.

Beautiful rooms with balcony overlooking a stream. Beautiful view of lush plants and lots of varieties of birds. Rooms were nice and clean, balcony is nice for relaxing. Food is pretty good. Organized activities for us. Answered my questions beforehand about organizing them. Overall helpful.

The apartament was big and very clean. Perfectly situated with amazing terrace Good contact via WhatsApp. A bit poor English onsite. They organized the canyoning for us - fantastic experience, but too short.

No bedside tables, nor anything to put your luggage, a lot of ants in the bathroom, noisy airconditioning. Opposite the accommodation is a tea factory that makes a continuous machine noise, not extremely loud but you do hear it also during the night.

The view from the terrace over a side arm of the river is very nice, with good relaxing chairs. The room is spacious. Good hot shower. Thee and coffee facilities. The boy that runs the place is very nice and helpful.

The beds were too short (and very wide) so not very comfortable. The airco stopped working after 1 night. There are no other options for food nearby so the food of the hotel is the only option. No drinks to choose from, just water.

Beautiful location near the river with a nice spot to jump in and cool off. The breakfast and curry dinner was very good! The staff was very friendly and arranged everything we needed and wanted.

The manager Kohlitia provided a good, helpful service but it would be nice if he smiled more often.

Nice peaceful location on Bibiloya river and enjoyed watching a mongoose cross the old bridge 2 times. Comfortable, well appointed room with all amenities. Nice SL food.

Not sure how the drivers accommodation rates but breakfast for driver was good.

Good basic affordable accommodation. Staff really approachable and happy to help. Dinner was delicious and breakfast the same and very generous. The hidden extra here is the pool in the river just below the hotel which is clean for swimming a lovely surprise.

Access to the hotel is confusing, via some private properties

A new hotel, runned by a family who is very helpfull. Rooms are good and there is a shared balcony with splendid views, You can walk freely around Bibili Oya, the river next to the hotel . Food is at average level.

Really lovely setting and very helpful/friendly owner. They organised rafting for us which was brilliant and reasonably priced. They also lent us rubber rings as there is a little natural pool in the river right by them - gorgeous. Very quiet and peaceful and great value. Would recommend.

A really nice place by the river where you can have a cool dip. The host Roshan and Kolitha was very helpful and helped us with the rafting booking. Must mention the breakfast here is one of the best we had at a small hotel! It was roti and hoppers (including 2 egg hoppers) with a super Lunu miris, for the savory and spicy option. And butter, cheese, jam and the best kithul honey for the sweet option! we smashed it all :) Highly recommend this place for your stay in Kitulgala!

Nice place to stay in a pretty private atmosphere. There are three double rooms in that villa . We shared the Villa with friends. So it was like our private house . Nice balcony with a view to a small river . Nearby the old bridge you can take a refreshing bath. The rooms are very proper, the bathroom is clean. And hot water shower is okay . The homemade food is delicious and also the breakfast! The stuff is kind and helpful . The owner is very engaged that everything is fine . If you like to do outdoor activities they will arrange for example water Rafting . We recommend very well . We would like to come again .
