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.

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."

"A wonderful stay, incredible food and a great location for going to all the Dambulla sites. The staff were very attentive and the rooms are clearly very well kept and clean! Make sure you order the Kotthu as that was a stand out dish, and the best we had in Sri Lanka! In the rooms, it was a nice touch to have a fan and a/c as it’s good to have a choice - my wife doesn’t like a/c! My only feedback is that it should be mentioned more that the produce used is grown on site! We only found out on our last day, but it was really refreshing to hear when so many other hotels just import cheap fruit and veg!"

Amba Yaalu - Thema Collection "The First Women-LED Hotel in Sri Lanka" ★★★★★

📍 Lot 16, Pihilla Mookalana, Katupotha, Kandalama

"Amba Yaalu — A Second Home for Soulful Rejuvenation My first stay at Amba Yaalu by Thema Collection was pure discovery. I came out of curiosity—wanting to experience, for the first time, the novelty and energy of a women-led resort. I left enchanted. But this second visit felt different—more intentional, more existential. I rebooked to continue my solo quest for soulful rejuvenation, tranquility, and serenity—the kind of restorative pause that leaves you resettled for the life you love, yet must return to: a job and day-to-day that asks a great deal. From the moment I arrived, I was beautifully cared for. The à la carte dining—with both Western and Sri Lankan options—did more than simply nourish my body. It re-ignited my appetite in the most genuine way. I ate with joy and intention, and somehow it even made me feel lighter and steadier within myself. I also took a private cookery lesson with the chef, and it was unforgettable. I didn’t just leave with a chef’s hat and a printed recipe book—I left with real skills, spice knowledge, and techniques I can bring home. I can already see myself sharing this with my colleagues, my friends, and of course my beloved family. And yes—I even had to tease the chef, because I loved her food so much that this post-menopausal woman ate so well that my cholesterol and blood pressure readings came down…and I genuinely started to develop a “food baby”. 😂😂😂 Finally, to the management and leadership: as an educator in ancient history, I know great women when I meet them—Helen of Troy, Cleopatra… and beyond. At Amba Yaalu, the leadership feels like that same kind of powerful grace. It isn’t only about running a beautiful resort—it’s about building something that matters. To Amba Yaalu and everyone who made this stay feel like a true haven: thank you for giving me a serenity I could feel in my bones—and a renewed strength for what comes next."

"The location and atmosphere were nice and the nature/envirement was calming (litterally no noise!) Also it has good service and is really clean. The room were really good for the price and so was the pool. However the food was a little bit bland and more variety is needed if possible and the pool tiles are sort of damaged which may hurt your feet . Overall amaizing place.

Araliya Self Cooking Resort Dambulla

"I used it when I traveled with 3 friends! It's a place where you can heal with plenty of nature, but the location was good because you can go to the rice shop as soon as you take a taxi. I wore it without hesitation because there was a sign nearby. The most impressive thing was the kindness of the owner! I arrived late at night, but he welcomed me very warmly without a disgusting face. The tea that was served for free on my way home was really delicious. The room was great, and even if we stayed for 3 people, there was a fluffy bed for each person! It was cool at night and I could sleep well, and the water area I was worried about was usually clean and there was no problem at all. Anyway, the owner's personality was nice and it was an inn that I would definitely want to stay again!"

"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."
