"I have no idea why people have rated this place so high. I chose this place because she claimed to have wifi. She does not have wifi. She has a cellphone with a hotspot that she never turns on. If she does turn it on, it doesn't work when she takes the phone with her when she leaves. She also turns the phone off when she goes to sleep. I told her twice that I needed the internet to make a very important phone call late at night. She forgot. Turned off her cellphone. I had no internet,...

"Very disappointed, the hotel looked lovely in the photos but reality was a different story. With the exception of one waiter none of the staff seemed to know what they were doing. The pool was filthy and the water was green. The room was shabby and in desperate need of a refurb, broken bathroom fixtures, hole in sheet, dirty curtains, broken tie-backs. Bar area was okay but at breakfast our table was covered in flies. Avoid this place at all costs "

"When I arrived I was told the hotel was closed. I took pictures to prove I was there as I had already paid through Expedia. I then had a ‘neighbour’ show up to ‘offer’ alternate accommodation at a very much more cost! The hotel is on a back street and when confronted with having to find an option on the day when I was hoping to visit the palace I conceded to the higher price. This was classic ‘bait & switch! Do not ever book this hotel!!!!"

Top Lankatilaka Temple Hotel Reviews

Sigiriya Jungles

10/10 Excellent

"An amazing place in the middle of the jungle. Monkeys. Lizards? Butterflies all around this resort. Amazing staff. Amazing spa both Rajitha and Erandi treated me and my girlfriend with a 90 minute massage. The massage is very relaxing not like a Thai, Swedish or sports massage. The food is varied and good. Loved the breakfast because of the omelette station. Had dinner there one evening and the options were amazing. Local food is really good I would advise anyone to try local before sticking to their home country food like spaghetti. Perfectly located to visit the Rocks for the hikes. Perfectly located to visit the elephants and wildlife in Minneriya Park. We visited in August. Often find Geckos in your room which is fine as your in a jungle, if you don’t like nature then not sure what to tell you. The showers were very nice. Didn’t go in the pool but the monkeys did 😂 Great resort would recommend to anyone wanting to visit Sirigiya."

Jetwing Vil Uyana, A Luxury Reserve

10/10 Excellent

"Overall, we really enjoyed our experience at jet wing! We came for our honeymoon and our butler did a fantastic job of making it special for us. From the service we got at check-in to check out the staff was great! We really enjoyed the excursions offered by the hotel like birdwatching in the morning. The food was all delicious and we especially liked the morning breakfast. We recommend jetwing to others on their honeymoon, but also saw a lot of families and seemed like a great place for groups as well."

Heritance Kandalama

"Incredible architecture, beautiful hotel, amazing accomodations and food"

The Otunna Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were amazing and went above and beyond. They offered tips and always wanted to help to give us the best stay. The breakfast was incredible, there was a huge variety include rotors, fruit, pancakes, hoppers smoothies and curried dishes. The rooms were lovely with a ‘jungle feel’ with the well planted garden that the verandas looked over, complete with swings and regular seating for relaxing. This is 100% on the return list-i can’t recommend it highly enough."

EKHO Sigiriya

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here for 1 night but it was absolutely delightful! The staff was very hospitable, the amenities were great, lication of the hotel relative to the touristy attractions was fantastic, breakfast was on point, room was decent sized and clean too. Gave us nothing to complain about. 10/10 and would highly recommend."

Kolla Watersong Eco Cabana resort

10/10 Excellent

"Listen people- this place is AMAZING!!! Like living in a dream, not less. It is isolated from any noise, in the nature. If we only knew, we would stay there for a week minimum! The rooms are so special that I can’t describe- beautiful, air conditioned and comfortable. Breakfast was great and the staff was really amazing. When you book a room, contact the property and book also the village tour & safari. You will get a great full day package. I will definitely go back there!"

Back of Beyond - Pidurangala

10/10 Excellent

"A very beautiful property tucked inside a jungle. We had a wonderful stay in a tree house and loved waking up with the birds chirping in the trees. Staff was very helpful throughout our entire stay. The lion rock is only 15 mins away."

Hotel Sudu Araliya

10/10 Excellent

"Sudu Araliya is located on the banks of the Parakrama Samudraya. It’s extensive gardens offer a peaceful place for relaxation. There is a very nice and sturdy tree house with a couple of benches and tables. A lovely place for children to play and adults to relax. Rooms and bathrooms were spacious and clean. Staff was friendly and attentive and our requests were taken care of promptly. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet with many typical Sri Lankan foods. We only spent one night there but planning to return for a 2-3 night stay. Would definitely recommend staying there."

Deer Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"Incredible helpful and friendly staff and beautiful ground. My cottage with the outdoor shower was charming. Spa facilities were not available during hours that i wanted to use them, ieri early morning and evening before and after excursion, that was sad. No pool towels also a minus. Dinner menu was expensive but nothing was very good. Breakfast however was delicious! Sri lankan menù was bevande expectation. I enjoyed my stay very much."
