Upon arrival, we were shocked to find that the entire facility was in a state of severe neglect. Mold was present everywhere — on the walls, ceilings, and even furniture. The conditions were absolutely unacceptable. We...

Top Weheragala Lake Hotel Reviews

Leopard Safaris Yala

10/10 Excellent

"This stay truly exceeded my expectations! From the start, the team was incredibly helpful in arranging transportation from Colombo to the camp. Our driver even made a stop along the way for some delicious local coconut roti and curry, which was such a nice touch! The food throughout our stay was fantastic and beautifully prepared. And as someone who does NOT camp, I can honestly say these tents were perfect—luxurious, comfortable, and such a fun, unique experience. The game drives were another highlight. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and made sure we had an amazing time. Everything was thoughtfully organized, and the entire experience felt special from beginning to end. 10/10 would recommend!"

Ella Nine Peaks (Araliya Villa & The Club House)

"We had a wonderful stay at Ella Nine Peaks (Araliya Villa & The Club House). The beautiful property, delicious food, and exceptional hospitality made our visit truly memorable. A special thanks to Chef Shashi for his warm welcome, outstanding service, and incredibly delicious food. His kindness and attention to detail were remarkable. Manager Nalin was extremely professional and welcoming, ensuring a smooth check-in and giving us an excellent tour of the clubhouse. Sarojini was incredibly kind and attentive, making sure our meals were served on time and that we were comfortable throughout our stay. Chef Shashi, Nalin, and Sarojini are truly valuable assets to this resort. Their genuine hospitality made us feel right at home. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with excellent food and outstanding service. We will definitely return!"

"I had a wonderful stay. The surroundings are beautiful, with palm trees and a lake right in front of the room. It is the most beautiful location I have experienced so far in Sri Lanka. The hosts are incredibly kind and welcoming. They took me for a walk to the lake, organized a safari for me, and arranged a reliable driver at a very reasonable price. Everything was perfectly organized. The food was excellent. The curry was the best I have had in Sri Lanka, and the fresh breakfast was delicious. The room and bathroom are in a private little bungalow. Everything was spacious, spotless, modern, and very well maintained. The room had air conditioning, complimentary drinking water, shampoo, and a wide selection of toiletries. I highly recommend this place and would happily stay here again."
