"I have no idea why people have rated this place so high. I chose this place because she claimed to have wifi. She does not have wifi. She has a cellphone with a hotspot that she never turns on. If she does turn it on, it doesn't work when she takes the phone with her when she leaves. She also turns the phone off when she goes to sleep. I told her twice that I needed the internet to make a very important phone call late at night. She forgot. Turned off her cellphone. I had no internet,...

"Very disappointed, the hotel looked lovely in the photos but reality was a different story. With the exception of one waiter none of the staff seemed to know what they were doing. The pool was filthy and the water was green. The room was shabby and in desperate need of a refurb, broken bathroom fixtures, hole in sheet, dirty curtains, broken tie-backs. Bar area was okay but at breakfast our table was covered in flies. Avoid this place at all costs "

"When I arrived I was told the hotel was closed. I took pictures to prove I was there as I had already paid through Expedia. I then had a ‘neighbour’ show up to ‘offer’ alternate accommodation at a very much more cost! The hotel is on a back street and when confronted with having to find an option on the day when I was hoping to visit the palace I conceded to the higher price. This was classic ‘bait & switch! Do not ever book this hotel!!!!"

Top Kiri Vihara Temple Hotel Reviews

Jetwing Vil Uyana, A Luxury Reserve

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing rooms/villa for in the paddy fields, lovely pool and communal spaces, great service and friendly staff and a really nice restaurant with a great ambience and good food. Highly recommended as a great hotel to unwind and relax in a fantastic setting…"

Hotel Sigiriya

10/10 Excellent

"This is a beautiful hotel. The rooms are nice and clean, grounds cleaned every day and the hotel has a great vibe. The breakfast was the best in Sri Lanka. The only area to improve is the restaurant food. We had a lunch when we arrived and it was OK, not great and overpriced. There are several excellent local restaurants just 10 minute walk from the hotel, overlooking the lake and Lion rock."

The Otunna Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were amazing and went above and beyond. They offered tips and always wanted to help to give us the best stay. The breakfast was incredible, there was a huge variety include rotors, fruit, pancakes, hoppers smoothies and curried dishes. The rooms were lovely with a ‘jungle feel’ with the well planted garden that the verandas looked over, complete with swings and regular seating for relaxing. This is 100% on the return list-i can’t recommend it highly enough."

EKHO Sigiriya

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here for 1 night but it was absolutely delightful! The staff was very hospitable, the amenities were great, lication of the hotel relative to the touristy attractions was fantastic, breakfast was on point, room was decent sized and clean too. Gave us nothing to complain about. 10/10 and would highly recommend."

Kolla Watersong Eco Cabana resort

10/10 Excellent

"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!"

Back of Beyond - Pidurangala
