"Let me start with the good points since there are very few : the look of the room - beautiful
Now the rest, I’m an experience traveller and experienced in hospitality and I am ensuring that this hotel can charge such a high price or the poor service provided :
- we cannot driving ourselves and it’s been impossible to find the hotel : the pin location is not accurate (the hotel is located almost an hour from kandy im the countryside) and there are no sign anywhere to indicate the right...

"Very helpful and sweet staff. Beautiful and peaceful location. A bit out in nowhere, but staff helped to order transportation when we needed to go out "

"A beautiful property nestled in the jungle. The views were amazing and the sounds of the rushing river were super relaxing. The rooms were big and airy. There is no air conditioning but some ceiling fans that do the job perfectly (we were never too hot at night) - the pool with the river view in room 10 was spectacular. We enjoyed the food and the service was really nice and kind. Ashley is a character and brings some personality to the table. It’s very isolated but it’s possible to get a Tuktuk...

"Loved the property however booking was stuffed up and could only stay 1 night instead of 2 so had to find different accommodation. I did receive a full refund. "

"Our family of 5 arrived at the villa at 630pm tired and hoping for a good night rest. Pressed the bell and knocked on the door before someone came down from the villa. Realised they werent aware there is a booking for the night's stay! We had to wait for a good one hour before that poor caretaker sort out the stay wt the owner for our booking and then cleaned the rooms. No service recovery and no apologies by the owner at all. Utterly disappointed!

"My family and I had a fantastic time staying at the Weir House. Our only regret was that we could only stay one. From the patio of the house, we could hear the rapids of the river and surrounded by verdant forest. Staying here truly was a highlight of our Sri Lanka trip.
Mr. Maha, the manager was so very helpful, including assisting us to book a hotel in Kandi when it turned out that the place we originally booked was a huge disappointment. He even arranged 2 tuk tuks to take us to the...

"A Relaxing and Memorable Stay 🌟
I recently stayed at Dumbara park Residence and was genuinely impressed by the overall experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff were warm, professional, and attentive, making check-in smooth and welcoming.
- Room & Comfort: My room was spacious, spotless, and well-appointed with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was especially cozy, and I appreciated the quiet atmosphere that allowed for restful nights.
- Cleanliness: Every area—from the lobby to the bathroom—was impeccably maintained. Housekeeping did a fantastic job throughout my stay.
- Service: The team went above and beyond to ensure guests felt cared for. Whether it was a quick request or helpful local tips, they were always courteous and efficient.
Overall, Dumbara Park Residence exceeded my expectations. I’d happily recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, comfortable, and welcoming place to stay. I look forward to returning!"
