This hotel is one of the nicest hotels I’ve ever been to. It’s so quiet and peaceful. The cabins are very clean and well furnished. The garden is amazing. The staff are so nice and the breakfast is delicious.

We loved this hotel! We spent 2 nights in the tree house and could not have been happier with our choice. The staff were amazing- incredibly accommodating and caring. They made sure we had a fantastic stay. Food was amazingly good. The tree house was killer- literally monkey's running in the trees at your eye level and very private! Bathroom was straight out of a magainze - the outdoor shower has a tree growing in it!
A note on the tree house- the second night there were dogs from the local...

This property is pretty unique in its location, away from "the rest of the world". You really are in nature, surrounded by nothing else than rice paddies, lake, and such a variety of birds. It is peaceful, staff are very friendly and helpful, food is excellent and will accommodate vegetarian and gluten free needs. There is nothing I can fault our experience on!

We spent one night here and wish we had more time to spend here. It is clean, quiet, had great parking and the food was delicious. The staff was great. We had a very comfortable stay and would highly recommend.

The property was set just about 2mins from the main highway, making it very quiet. We loved that we couldn't hear any vehicles at all.
The property was filled with lots of trees and we could hear and see peacocks many times during the day freely roaming around.
The restaurant was very clean and spacious. We liked the breakfast very much. The staff was very courteous as well.
The room was very spacious and clean as well, and had everything we needed.
Overall, very happy with this property....

We had a wonderful 2 night stay at Otunna Guesthouse. We came in later then anticipated, and Dinesh, the owner, was in constant contact with us. They offered fresh passionfruit juice on arrival, and made the most delicious breakfast every morning that was probably the best spread all trip. Even though we already had many activities already planned, he offered any help as needed. What I really love about it is the serenity. It is close enough to restaurants, but far away enough from the main drag...

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!
