"Hi, the property was nice, but in the middle of the rice fields. They did not serve dinner, so you have to take a tuktuk to town.
The room itself was large and beautiful, but the AC did not work and there was no fridge in the room."

"It was extremely difficult to check out. They do not have the facilities for customers to use a credit card. The girl at the front desk is nice but she is over worked; she cooks, cleans, wait tables and acts as thr receptionist too. The room was not ready at 3:30. The owner does not have much understanding about working with Expedia.com. He spoke to me rudely on phone and I do not think he and his staff are properly trained in hotel buisness. It was a mess at the checkout time and they insisted...

"Cabanas located in trees - you are literally sleeping outside. Different experience, but nice. Be aware that animals may enter, and the river is very close by, so maybe not so good for people who needs complete silence to sleep. Staff very helpful and nice!"

"Great stay and great service. The hotel was overbooked, so our host went out of his way to find us a nicer room nearby. Also did the safari through the hotel - couldn't of asked for more!"

"First of all, when I went to 'Palugaha pilgrim resort' it was locked. Even the mobile was not reachable. I had booked this thro' Expedia. Fortunately the auto rickshaw driver was knowledgeable about the place so took us to a nearby place. This did not have any name but there was someone to entertain us. He claimed that was the Palugaha resort & also said there was no intimation from Expedia reg my booking. However, he was kind enough to arrange the room for us. After that, everything was fine....

"We verbleven er met 3 kinderen in een kamer op de bovenverdieping met prachtig uitzicht, voor de laatste nacht kregen we een upgrade naar de nieuwe chalets naast het mooie zwembad.
Dit hotel blinkt uit in service, de beste van onze reis door Sri Lanka. De bediening was erg vriendelijk voor ons en de kinderen en maakten ons verblijf fantastisch!
De eigenaar spreekt perfect Engels en regelt alles wat je maar wil, safari's vervoer etc.
Prachtige en mooi onderhouden tuin en zwembad, kortom een...

"The staff here could not be more helpful and friendly. I felt very welcomed and safe. The property sits on a lakefront with abundant wildlife. I enjoy photography and one of the staff kayaked me with my camera around the lake to take photographs of the wildlife. Like I said the service is unparalleled and the food is excellent. The staff is prompt and plans were followed up to the letter. It doesn’t get any better."
"Very professional staff, incredible location near the entrance to Yala National Park. The staffs English could be improved upon but the staff were very attentive, warm and helpful.
The room we had was incredible. Very large with all the amenties you could expect. The small private pool was nice but cold and not really used.
The food at the restaurant was well prepared and reasonably priced. They have both an international food and local Sri Lankan menu to choose from.
We look forward to returning some day!"
"Magnifique vue sur le lac. Hôtel idéalement placé car pas trop loin de la ville.
Cependant déjeuner pas super pour 6€ par personne.
La chambre est bien mais les finitions 0 par contre le personnel est au petit soin.
Manque de sun bed au bord de la piscine. "
"Agreed by the whole family to be the best hotel and stay of our Sri Lanka & Singapore trip (overall we stayed at 11 different hotels of varying quality).
Can't really rave enough about this place. I wouldn't really call it a hotel - more like a luxury, boutique accommodation. Exceptional in every way.
Pros
- Service - exceptional, Upul is the only one who we knew by name but everyone was wonderful
- Pool - the hotel was full but there were rarely more than 4-5 people at the pool and even then it felt like you had it yourself
- Close to Yala National Park - kicking ourselves we did one safari here and one from another (further) hotel as it was so close to the park it would have been much easier travel wise
- Organised a safari for us from the hotel and packed snacks and cold water which was very thoughtful (we paid the driver directly and it was well priced)
- Yummy cocktails and good food
- Great value for money and even more so considering some of the other places we stayed
- Nice large, clean, modern, and comfy rooms with a great view of the fields
- The little extras make it extra special - they had archery, basketball and a mini golf course
- Serene and peaceful, R&R achieved
- Like an oasis and with beautiful, natural surroundings
- Space - just felt personal and like we had the place almost to ourselves
Cons
I can't really think of anything.
You won't be disappointed booking a stay here. "
