    Spent a night at Bamboo Tree Transit Hotel and had a fantastic experience. The host was incredibly kind and helpful, ensuring everything was just right. The room was clean and comfortable, perfect for a short stay. Breakfast was delicious and the beautiful garden added a peaceful, relaxing touch. With a convenient location and such warm hospitality, this place truly feels like a home away from home. Highly recommended!

    Nothing

    The property was amazing, everything you need after a long flight. It was very conveniently located only being a 10minute car ride from the airport. The bed was comfy and the breakfast was great. The family were incredible!! Due to arriving late at night, they told us we could just go to sleep and worry about the paper work in the morning which was very appreciated. Couldn’t recommend this place enough! Thank you all so much!

    We cannot rate this hotel enough, the couple who run it are so lovely and couldn’t have done enough to accommodate us after a day of travelling and arriving late. The room we had had a small terrace/balcony that opened out onto a beautiful garden area. The room was very clean and everything worked as expected (AC, tv, shower etc). The hotel is very close to the airport so a perfect stay if you are flying in/out. Thanks so much for a great stay, we will 100% be back!!

    The only thing would be it would be nicer to have a taller table for eating at otherwise perfect 👌

    Perfect place to stop either arriving or leaving Sri Lanka, the food was fantastic and the staff so so friendly and accommodating, it was our last night in Sri Lanka and we asked for curry and string hoppers in the morning and they made it happen even with such short notice.

    The communication before our arrival could have been a little bit better, but the communcation on side was very good and friendly. :-)

    Simple and clean hotel close to the airport. The beds were comfy and the breakfast good (they even served it in the early morning at 6:45). It‘s close to the main road but still very calm and the owner was friendly. As transit it was perfect for us.

    I recently stayed at Bamboo Tree and had an amazing experience. The service was absolutely excellent from start to finish. The staff was attentive and made sure every need was met with a smile. The rooms were comfortable, well-maintained, and provided a cozy atmosphere. It felt like a home away from home. One of the highlights of my stay was the food, prepared by the owner herself. It was incredibly tasty, with a perfect blend of local flavors that made every meal a delight. I also appreciated the cost-effectiveness of the hotel. The prices were very reasonable for the quality of service and accommodation provided. Plus, it’s located very close to the airport, making it a convenient choice for travelers. What truly stood out, though, was the excellent customer relations. The owner and staff made me feel welcome and valued, going above and beyond to ensure I had a great stay. They also took the time to guide me on the best local places to check out, making my trip even more memorable. I would highly recommend Bamboo Tree to anyone looking for a quality, affordable, and friendly place to stay.

    The perfect last night before leaving Sri Lanka

    This was our last night before a morning flight back to the UK. We had a warm welcome by the lady owner who showed us our spotlessly clean room and brought us cups of tea to our patio. After a good shower we mentioned to her that were were going out to find some dinner, and she offered us freshly fried rice chicken and vegetables, which we had after nipping out to the nearby beer shop. Delicious. Had a great sleep - it was quiet, comfortable, and with good air-con. We got up, packed and got into the taxi she had arranged, and rode 15 minutes to the airport. The whole thing was so simple, enjoyable and relaxing.

    There was a lot of noise during the night coming from other rooms. We would also expect a bigger variety for breakfast or at least something local to try. There was only a juice and omelet with bread.

    The place was very clean and beautifully decorated. Our host was very kind and helpful, as well as flexible about the breakfast time.

    Couldn't find any..

    We were 2 couples. This destination was just awesome. Very clean. Comfy beds & nice shower & airconditioner.. Host Beverly was so comely & we just enjoyed all the servings by her & the delicious breakfast & dinner. Location is just of the main road to airport,which was 10 minutes away. Despite in city the ambience was unbelievably pleasant & full of nature.

    Clean place, close to the airport, quiet neighborhood, good for overnight stay. Nice hosts. Clean beds and bathrooms. We were a bit surprised when we didn't find sheet to cover the blanket, but realized later that this is customary in small Sri Lankan guesthouses. I'm sure that if you ask, the hosts will happily provide it (we realized it too late into the night). Overall-good place for inconvenient flight hours
