What our guests say

“Great place to stay in the Gampola area. Budget friendly, clean, well maintained villa with 5 rooms and a separate dining area. The staff is very friendly and attentive to guest’s needs. Also only a couple kilometres of distance from the Gampola railway and there is a big convenience store next to the villa. “

“It was a delight. The room was clean, large and comfortable. The food was delicious so we ended up having all our meals at the hotel itself. Some of the ingredients are grown on the property itself. The staff were friendly and very helpful. We were well looked after. The manager was well acquainted with the interesting places nearby and also arranged transport for us. Overall, we had one of the best Sri Lankan hotel experiences. “

“Hope to return with friends!”

“Friendly staff, excellent service and good food.”

“This hotel is located in a great spot for breathtaking sceneries. It was very relaxing to stay in this hotel as we travelled from a noisy, crowded and congested place in Colombo. We had a fabulous time. The rooms are spacious, clean, beds are comfortable modern bathrooms with walk-in shower.”
