I had a truly wonderful experience, and I’m especially grateful for the amazing service and support from my guide, Andrew. He’s honestly the hero of this place! From the moment I arrived, he made everything smooth and easy — he met me at the railway station, drove me to the hotel, helped with check-in, and explained the program ahead. The next day, he greeted me after breakfast and invited me to watch traditional local wedding dances — such a unique moment! He then took me to the herbal garden, the elephant orphanage, and the zoo, let me try some local street food, and shared so many interesting stories about Sri Lankan culture and traditions. It was my first time visiting Sri Lanka, and I came alone — so having such a kind and knowledgeable guide made all the difference. Thanks to Andrew, my trip was not just safe and easy, but truly bright and joyful. I also really enjoyed my hotel stay — the river view from the room was beautiful, watching elephants from the pool felt surreal, and the whole atmosphere was incredibly relaxing. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Sri Lanka!

place is quiet for those who love nature and it is safe. We were two girls and we had fun. The lady and man who were in charge of the place were very friendly. Mr. Andrw the manager is a wonderful person and very helpful. He tried to provide us with comfort and we were able to have breakfast and use the swimming pool in the neighboring hotel.

We got a bright and nice room on the top floor with a long L-shaped balcony, patio, a/c, fan, good wifi, a bottle of cold drinking water, bathrobes, large towels, bath mat and a large and very comfortable bed. The room's furnishings are generous and well thought out. The bathroom is quite large, has well-functioning hot water and plenty of shelves and hooks/holders. Everything is very clean and nice, without any signs of damp. The fantastically good and generous breakfast (with freshly brewed "fine coffee"!) is served in the nice kitchen on the middle floor. There are a total of 6 rooms (2 smaller, of which we stayed in one, and 4 larger) and there are plenty of seating areas etc. under cover outside the rooms. Everything feels very spacious and nice. There is also a private parking in the courtyard. The host couple are very friendly, generous and flexible! There are plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance. We will be happy to come back here! PS: We actively did chose not to visit The Elephant Orphanage… Please read their reviews before a possible visit.

This is easily one of the most beautiful boutique hotels I've stayed at. Recently renovated, no expense has been spared to bring the Colonial mansion back to life. The attention to detail is remarkable. All the services are extraordinary and if I ever have a special occasion in Sri Lanka it will be at the Grand Walawwa.
