"This house is virtually a step away from the sea and it feels like you have your very own small, private beach. A bit far from the town for bars and restaurants but a good small local restaurant two minutes walk away. Breakfast provided, by a woman that comes to the house and uses the kitchen. Great in one sense but if you really like your privacy note that she does hang around each day for about 3 hours doing cleaning etc..
Overall if you like privacy and seclusion right on the beach, this...

The lodge is set in a secluded mountain area overlooking the mountains so the view was fantastic. As it is a small lodge, we were well taken care by the staff. Great to be able to order our food and wait for a call from them to tell us when the food is ready. The rooms are nice and spacious.

Excellent host and a great stay overall. Let us check-in early which we greatly appreciate as we came straight from the airport in the early morning. Just that there are many steps to the room which might be a little tiring for older people.

Very pretty little hotel within walking distance of the center of town but not too close that there’s too much noise. The owner was very kind, communicative and helpful with all my questions. The breakfast was delicious. Would definitely stay here again.

Amazing place. Can’t fault a single thing. We stayed in a two bedroom suite and it was amazing. Staffs are very polite and helpful. Always ready to help with a buggy. Spa was amazing in a very scenic set up. Secluded yet just a few mins drive to main city centre. Pool area is nice but the pool is rather small. Breakfast is very good, made to order. Complimentary guided trek to little Adams peak just behind the resort. They gave discount vouchers for Ravana pool club and zip lining but we didn’t...

Amazing room and the theme was carried throughout. I love that they were environmentally friendly and did not provide bottles of water. Instead you get a jug of water in your room. The bed and pillows were amazing. We were pleasantly surprised when we were informed everything in the 'mini bar' was complimentary. Yummy canapés were also provided free in the evening. We were disappointed there wasn't much of a sand beach in front. And our greatest horror was when we realised the bathroom window...

We had such a great experience when we stayed at the MaRadha hotel during our recent visit to Colombo. Chalani and Madshan at the reception were exceptional with their hospitality, went the extra mile to make sure we had a comfortable stay. The breakfast buffet was delicious. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back next time we are in Colombo.

My wife and I had a most wonderful stay at The Oliphant. It's one of the rare hotels which live up to the beautiful photos you see on the official website.
Location: It's not very accessible so you need to hire a driver or rent a car. But the inaccessibility is part of the charm. The Oliphant is in a restored colonial bungalow that's over a 150 years old, and in the middle of the Oliphant tea estate.
Accommodation: Despite the age, the hotel was recently refurbished and very well maintained....

Great location right on the Kandalama lake. Very easy to find and get to. Was blown away by the peace and quiet of the place. I would definitely visit again. Staff was so nice even the ground staff who were sweeping and cleaning. The room is actually a stand alone building with lots of privacy and really comfortable. Got hot water and Air con which is nice for a hotel so far away from Colombo.
