“beautiful garden with jungle feeling around with nice pool, few mins walk to the centre for restaurants and shoppings, excellent position for trips to Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Minneriya safari, Sigirya and Dambulla, rich and very tasty breakfast, and the best at the end: incredible staff !!! Mahesh and his team, very open , friendly and very helpful , these people make Bangalawa resort the place which will give you unforgettable stay , I travel a lot around Asia, but I never experienced such attitude of staff towards its guests, highly reccomend this place, definitely will come again when I come to Sri Lanka next time”
“This hotel is still being developed and they are still to construct the restaurant and finish the grounds and shared facilities. The rooms however, are already finished and very stylish and spacious, with a nice outdoor tub and brand new finishes. Despite the resort not yet being completely finished, we had a fantastic time, mostly due to the amazing staff and the location in the middle of nature, amongst the birds and other animals. The staff arranged basic, but very tasty meals and lunch boxes and an excellent safari guide (we saw three leopards!). We'll definitely go back on our next trip to Sri Lanka!”
“Charming small hotel with decent facilities for its size, lovely staff (many very inexperienced but very pleasant and helpful, especially impressed with Madu (?) front of house in restaurant) good food and lovely situation. Pool lovely and on site bikes great for getting about on (We are both in our mid 60’s and felt very at ease cycling on the roads …. People are so forgiving and careful on the roads even if it seems slightly chaotic!)
I see some of the complaints others have made but this is a very small (12 rooms?) hotel that does not charge a lot. What it offers is good value for money and decent quality. If you want a fully western high end hotel experience then that’s is what you’d need to book!
Amazing venue for bird watching and also saw large monitor lizard and a mongoose.
Situated on a 2.5km jogging track around lake which takes you directly to a selection of other eateries”
“Beautiful villa, in a quiet location, best breakfast we had in Sri Lanka, owner super friendly and helped us with our onward travel to negombo by bus, even phoned the driver to stop just outside to pick us up on route !!”
