Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a serene sanctuary, immersed in nature by a peaceful river. The rooms, crafted with care, reflect the owner's healing vision. The remote location offers a dream-like ambiance, though distant from reception. Proximity to the river and the tranquil energy of the staff enhance the experience.
I felt like I was experiencing a sacred space the whole time during my stay. The incredible attention to detail in the rooms truly reflects the owner's vision of healing and connection. The private bathroom was a simple yet perfect touch, and the rooms were enormous and unlike any other I've ever stayed in.
I was pleasantly surprised by the spacious and beautifully decorated rooms, complete with antique accents and a cozy bed. The large windows provided a lovely view, and having a dining table, desk, and a small living room was a nice touch. However, the absence of some expected amenities was a letdown.
I felt like I was living in a dream while staying at this hotel. The setting was incredibly beautiful, surrounded by lush greens, a flowing river stream, and the serene sounds of birds and crickets. The antique decoration in the rooms, along with the comfy beds and spacious layout, made my stay truly unforgettable. However, being in a remote location might not be everyone's cup of tea.
The hotel is perched on a steep hill, showcasing stunning rooms filled with antiques and fun details, but not suitable for small children. The textile room offers a unique experience. The hotel boasts a breathtaking location right above the river, surrounded by jungle sounds.

I felt like I was in a dream while staying at this hotel by a small river surrounded by nature. The rooms were bigger than expected, exquisitely decorated with antique pieces, providing a mix of old Sri Lankan articles in an open, airy space. However, the dining experience with its homemade dishes was a bit lacking. The energy of the place, fueled by the owner and staff, truly made my stay unforgettable.
The hotel is a dream-like oasis, nestled in nature above a serene river. The rooms, especially the mudhouses, are spacious and comfortable, boasting beautiful terraces and large windows. The dining experience is delicious, highlighted by the delightful baguettes. The location offers the perfect blend of tranquility and natural beauty, with steps leading down to a small river for a refreshing dip. However, the price may not fully align with the value provided, and some facilities could use a bit of improvement.
