★★★ 8.4 (26 reviews)

"This is not a resort, when I arrived young girl practically ignored me, then pointed to a book to fill out and just walked away without telling me room number, facilities or any info. Room very good size and great working aircon, in bathroom no hot water or couldn’t figure out how to use the thing, either way had to take a cold shower. Next day when leaving was told about the lookout to rock fortress at back of property, very nice views, something that you would think the girl would be selling on arrival as a plus to staying in venue!"

Jetwing Vil Uyana, A Luxury Reserve Hotels in Matale

Jetwing Vil Uyana, A Luxury Reserve

"Lucky enough to secure a villa with a private pool. If you’re after unwinding, relaxing and exceptionally hospitality this is the place to go. The villa was like glamping on steroids with the largest bed I think I have slept in a hotel. The shower gave the feel of being in the outdoors and the breakfast / dinner were unbelievable. I’d highly recommend booking the elephant safari from the hotel. The safari host from the hotel made the 4 hrs a very enjoyable experience - not to mention packed lunch! Our butler Prasanna topped of our stay and couldn’t do enough for us. 11 out of 10 stars"

"Wonderful experience! Great place, great location. All the staff so cute and professional. Special thanks to Gimhana!!"

Sigiriya Forest Edge By Marino Leisure Hotels in Matale

Sigiriya Forest Edge By Marino Leisure

"I have to say, this hotel is one of the best hotels I have stayed in in Sri Lanka. It's only been open for 3 years, so everything is new. The hotel is in the form of a tree house, which is very unique, but there is no need to worry about safety issues. There are CCTVs everywhere in the hotel, and the hotel will ensure your safety. The hotel is very private, with only ten rooms in total, so it doesn't feel crowded or noisy at all, which is very suitable for vacation. The swimming pool is also very clean and the night view is beautiful. I would recommend this hotel to any friend who is going to Sri Lanka. Although it is not the most expensive hotel in my trip, it is the best and most impressive hotel. It’s really a treasure hotel~ I hope its business will get better and better^btw The breakfast is a set menu, which is delicious and rich~"

Sigiriya Kingdom Resort Hotels in Matale

Sigiriya Kingdom Resort

"I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Sigiriya Kingdom Resort. I made a confirmed booking at an agreed rate, but later—especially in the middle of the night—the hotel attempted to change the price. This is unacceptable and feels highly unprofessional. A confirmed booking should be honored, not altered under pressure. What made the situation worse was the lack of proper customer support. When I raised the issue, no clear explanation or reasonable solution was provided. Instead, my time was wasted with poor communication and no accountability from the staff. This kind of behavior damages trust and creates a very negative experience for guests. Transparency and honesty are basic expectations in hospitality, and unfortunately, this hotel failed in both. I strongly urge future guests to double-check all booking details and be cautious. I also hope the management takes this seriously and improves their customer service and ethical standards. And I'm traveling from almost 400 km away from their destination. Thats how they treated me. Disappointed and unacceptable"

Sigiri Holiday Bungalow Hotels in Matale

Sigiri Holiday Bungalow

"Stayed for one night: - good WiFi -helped with Tuk tuks to Sigiriya rock - nice Pool - good food (ordered koththu from the menu see picture) - good towels -ac working -friendly staff -breakfast was toast with omelette and fruits"

Arika Villa Hotels in Matale

Arika Villa

"We had such a lovely stay at Hotel Arika. The staff were so accommodating and flexible. The dining and pool area is beautiful. The trees and river next to hotel mean you can always watch the nature that inhabits the area from the comfort of your table. Our room was spacious, modern and with good air conditioning. From the balcony, again, you could watch the monkeys and birds. The food is really first class, offering a good selection but obviously the Sri Lankan curry selection was particularly good. Also, for those cautious travellers, you can rest assured that the hotel takes great care in providing plenty of safe bottled water. This was a very peaceful experience and would highly recommend for anyone seeking this too."

Pelwehera Village Resort Hotels in Matale

"Really nice experience, the place is like a sweet dream. Rooms are confortable, as big as needed and realy clean. You will literally walking up in a small cosy jungle. Not too far from cities, walks and interesting places. Around 1h walking to the first city but every shops and sellers on the way make feels shorter. Bus and tuktuk are easy to acces and cheap. Now, the greatest point, the service. It's feel like a custom made. Each team membres doing his best to carrying. They just don't know how make you feel unique, you are unique. Cocktails and drinks are cheap and taste really good. They propose a good choise of drinks and foods, good taste and not too much. Thanks again to Gamini, Same and all team membres of carrying us and our daughter."

Hotel Sigiriya ★★★★
"The hotel is generally good, but overpriced. Due to its proximity to nature, be prepared for monkeys running on the roofs of the buildings and wild elephants in the surrounding area. The views around are breathtaking. On the downside: weak breakfasts (wide selection, but not much tasty food) and insects in the room."

Eden Grand ★★★
"The service attitude of the store is very good (it should be a store independently operated by the owner). After arriving at the store, I was given a glass of watermelon juice (free). There is a small terrace outside the room. The most abundant thing is breakfast. The photos and scenes on Ctrip have a relatively high degree of restoration."

The Paradise Dambulla ★★★★★
"I stayed at Paradise Dambulla for one full week, and honestly, I can say this property’s biggest strength is its people. I have travelled quite a bit, but the warmth, kindness, attentiveness, and genuine care shown by the staff here is something very special. It never felt artificial or forced. Every single day, the team made the experience comfortable, relaxing, and memorable. Special thanks to Nikesha, Waruna, and Feros from the Front Office Department, Tharusha from Housekeeping, and the amazing F&B team including Damith, Lahiru, Thanuja and Dhanushka. Each of them created such a positive impression during my stay. A very special mention must go to Ranga, the F&B Manager. He is truly an asset to the hotel. Had a lovely small talk. An all rounder, highly professional, always attentive, and at the same time a genuinely kind gentleman who seems to support every department whenever needed. You can clearly see the teamwork among the staff, and I believe that is one of the main success stories behind this hotel. The rooms were excellent, the atmosphere peaceful, and the location itself is beautiful and relaxing. During the entire week, I genuinely could not point out a single bad experience. Paradise Dambulla should be proud of its people because they are the real highlight of this property and the reason guests will return again and again. Most definitely visiting again soon. Highly recommended!"

Hotel Sigiriyaaya - Jetwing Select ★★★
"Excellent hotel, a real gift for such a price. Modern comfortable rooms, clean, peacocks roaming around screaming, the staff is 10 out of 10. It is located on the outskirts, but if you are traveling by car this is not a problem at all, but it is quiet. The kitchen works slowly, but this did not cause us any inconvenience. If I came back, I would stay here again, I would not even look for another hotel"
