Great View, Incredible Foods, and Warm Staff

I stayed in Heritance Kandalama for two days. This was the most wonderful experience that I've ever had! Great view of lake and Lion's Rock, incredible taste and kinds of buffet, warm and polite attitude of staff... all of these things made me really relaxed and energetic. Bawa's design and infinity pool are also great. I really recommend you to stay here!

Kazuhiko, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

森の中にあるとても素晴らしいホテルでした。広い敷地内を散歩したり、猿がベランダに来てくれたり(少し乱暴者)他では味わえない異空間です。夕食と朝食のブッフェは品数も多く、とても美味しく頂きました。 但し、年季が入ってるせいか、洗面台の下が水浸し(大した量ではない)になったが、それを引いても余りある素晴らしいホテルでした🏨強くお勧めします。
HIROMI, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

バワの建築というだけあって、自然と建築が一体となったデザインが良く、ホテルのどこで写真を撮っても映える素晴らしいホテルでした。また、非常に部屋から見える、湖の眺めがとても良く、朝には猿がベランダに来たりとスリランカの自然を堪能することができました。

10/10 Exceptional

一人旅で一泊しました。事前の写真や情報通りで他ではなかなか見れないユニークなホテルで泊まる価値あります。朝食ビュッフェもスリランカ料理中心に種類が多くおいしかったです。 場所がかなり街から隔離されているので移動の足は考えた方がいいかもしれません。(最終的にUberで長距離移動の足を確保できましたが、アプリでの足の確保も少し苦労しました)

とても素晴らしいホテル

バワ建築に宿泊したく利用しました。素敵な部屋で鳥のさえずりと共に起き、気持ちの良い滞在でした。ただ、レセプションの対応はあまり感じの良いものではありませんでした。このホテルでできる提案をいろいろして欲しかったです。他のスタッフさんはとても感じ良くにこやかに過ごせました。

Beautiful property, a masterpiece by Geoffrey Bawa, architecture hidden and surrounded by nature. Special thanks to Nalinda for the amazing architectural tour, and bird watching tour…was very lucky to spot an elephant by the lake which was a very rare occurrence!

10/10 Exceptional

The building’s design is fantastic and the main reason we wanted to stay there. It was built in 1994 and in parts it is starting to show its age. The food selection for dinner and breakfast was good and the taste was fantastic. The staff was friendly and helpful. I recommend taking the Bawa Tour to learn about the building. Another tip if you are a coffee drinker is to get an expresso or a coffee directly from the machine. The coffee from the jug from the food server is pretty weak.
