"The room was excellent clean and tidy, but our room was just above the dining/ restaurant area they had loud music on from 7am which woke us up, the location is super with great views, we wanted to try catch of the day (fish) meal. Waiter told us it will take 25min but took an hour, but wasn't sure if it was fresh or frozen, lovely staff, and good location with great views. "

"Very lovely couple and the room was delightful. The big windows meant it was moonlight all night with a full moon and you could see Adam’s Peak from their garden."

We stayed at the Madulkelle Tea and Eco Lodge for two nights. We had a fantastic time celebrating Christmas here in this incredibly beautiful place. Pictures truly do not do it justice. The food was amazing and the facilities are just gorgeous. We loved our little ‘tent’ that was tucked away on the side of the mountain. Our only complaint the entire time was that we asked for two glasses of champagne to be sent to our room and instead we received a glass of something that was definitely not...

This is a classy place - great facilities and an outstanding buffet dinner and breakfast. Pool a real treat. Don't use their taxis get local knowledge - much cheaper.

Stayed here for 1 night but it was absolutely delightful! The staff was very hospitable, the amenities were great, loation of the hotel relative to the scenic view was fantastic, breakfast was amazing (with so much variety), room was decent sized and clean too. Got upgraded so appreciate that very much.
Gave us nothing to complain about. 10/10 and would highly recommend.
